Subject to Arrest and Must
Remain Here, War De-
partment Says.
ACTION ON HIS REFUSAL
TO TESTIFY is AWAITED
Was Willing to Talk, But Took
Reid's Advice to Remain Silent,
Counsel Says.

The War Department decided to
day to refuse to grant Col. William
Mitchell permission to go to Balti-
more, where he had been invited to
make an address.
1t was explained that Col. Mitchell
was under investigation with view
to disciplinary proceedings of seri-
Gus nature.
An officer in that status would be
subject to military arrest under nor
NAL circumstances and while it has
not been found necessary to go to
that length in the case of Col
Mitchell, it was indicated at the De-
partment that he would be required
to remain in Washington and be sub
Ject to the orders of the inspector
general of the Army until the investi-
cation is completed.
Legion Sent Invitation.
The invitation to Col. Mitchell to
speak I'm Baltimore came from the
American Legion organizations in
that city, and he filed an application
with the War Department for per
mission to make the trip.
Col Mitchell still was awaiting ac-
tion today by the Navy court or the
War Department on his refusal yes
terday TO testify in the Shenandoah
inquiry.
The court today formally filed with
Acting Secretary Davis of the War
Department certification of the refusal
of Col. Mitchell to testify.
Notification was made in the form
of letter from Secretary Wilbur to
the War Department head.
-11n H., lxtt
public at the Navy Department.. but
it is understood to have cited the
facts as they occurred when Col
Mitchell declined to testify on the
grounds that Court-martial proceed
lnSs were pending against him. The
Navy Department holds that it's au
thority ends in the Mitchell case when
it lays the facts before the War De.
partment for whatever action it deems
proper.
With this certification in hand, the
War Department will determine
whether action is within its jurisdic.
ton. Upon first reading of the legal
authorities, some Army officers were
of the opinion that the colonel in ap-
pearing before the court had complied
with his orders, and that the next step
in the matter rested with the court
itself.
Representative Frank r. Reid of
Illinois, counsel for Mitchell, in a
formal statement last night, said the
officer had acted throughout upon his
advice; that personally Mitchell was
ready and willing to testify even at
the risk of jeopardising his case in the
impending court-martial proceedings
growing out of his charges against the
War and Navy Departments in con.
nection with the Shenandoah disaster
Reid added that if the court held
that the position taken by the officer
in refusing to a formal subpoena was

tion Is Protest Against Custer

tion was taken because he did not ap-
prove of the policies Of the board.

Enraged Wife, Aided by Mother, Beats
Ex-Hubby and Deputy in D. C. Court

The dignity of the District Supreme
Court was rudely shaken today when
an aggrieved wife and her sympathetic
mother started a free-for-all fistic en-
counter that ended somewhat dis
astrously for the husband. as well as
a private detective and deputy
United States marshal.
The wife, Mrs. Anna c. Rupp, be-
came incensed when Chief Justice Nc
Coy granted weeks delay in the
hearing Of the wife's petition for col
lection of arrears in alimony. Deciding
to vent her anger on her spouse. Mrs.
Rupp braced herself and started
toward her hubby.
William II. Rupp, about this time,
discovered he had business elsewhere
that was urgently calling him, and he
started out Of the courtroom in haste,
with Mrs. Rupp in close pursuit.
Reaching the corridor, the indignant
wife caught up with her quarry and
proceeded to administer a right sound
thrashing with the aid Of her fists and
fingernails. Mr.. Rupp's clothing was
beginning to show signs of wear and
tear when his mother law hove into
view with a belligerent look. She pro.
ceeded to assist her daughter In her
efforts.

Talk about your hard luck,


How would you like to have been
one of the triple distilled Washington
rooters who languished through the
long. dreary hours last night to get a
lowly bleacher seat at today's world
series game, only to have Forecaster
Mitchell and Judge Lands combine to
defeat your purpose?
Their bodies and heads aching.
their Spines bent and twisted, their
eyes dropping wearily, what must have
been their thoughts when it was an
nounced shortly before noon that the
game was postponed until tomorrow?
ghtheartedly these threescore
and ten fans of the first order had
maintained their sleepy vigil through
the long nocturnal hours. The team s
defeat yesterday in Pitt SburGh did not
cause their hopes to fade or their de-
termination to falter. Bravely they
hied themselves to the Fifth street
side of Griffith Stadium to await their
coveted reward in the temporary
stands in center field.
They came from all directions

women. white and colored. They stood
stopped, sat, leaned and reclined on
lmproviSed seats and coucheS, and
fought off the chills that sought, ever
and anon, to creep down the back of
their neckS
They joyouSly and good turedly
scrambled for places of vantage on the
hard, rain-soaked benches of the stand
as the gates were thrown open this
morning. and they even detied the oc-
caSloEal showers that fell ominously
about them before noon

awful, that's all.
But most of them were not yet
squelched. They left, breathing def
ance at the scowling heavens, mutter-
ing threats at the weatherman, Clark
Griffith, Judge Lands and Reddy
O'Dea, but announcing. withal, that
they would be on hand again in the
temporary bleachers when the curtain
goes up tomorrow.
Scarcely had the bleacherites set
tied themselves this morning in their
hard seats than many were forced to
seek dry shelter beneath an adjoining
pavilion out of reach of a drenching
shower.
Among the all-nighters were two
women, who SteadfaStly maintained
silence as to their identity. Some of
the walters said that they had driven
to Fifth street, where the line formed,
in an automobile bearing a Pennsyl-
vania tag.
One young lady took her place in
line shortly after > o'clock this morn

GIG Longfellow street, one of Business

Falconer braZenly admitted that she
was playing hockey today for the first
time in her young life, and all for
naught. She was accompanied by
three of her cousins-F. II. Drum

Edmonds-all of whom came from
Norfolk just to stand in line with the
bleacherites. More hard luck.

JOINT CZECH DEBT
SESSION IS CALLED
Funding Mission to Meet
With Americans This After
noon for Second Time.

Funding negotiations over the
Czechoslovakia debt OF $4,000. 900 to
the United States entered a more ac-
tive phase today with the calling OF q
meeting of the American debt commits
sion at 3 o'clock, to be following by a
joint meeting between the American
and Czechoslovakian negotiators.
Although the exact status Of the
conversations carried on for several
days between experts OF the two com
missions was not revealed, 1t was un-
derstood that the subcommittee had
arrived at some conclusion over the
disputed question Of the principal OF
the debt and were ready to weigh this
before both groups.
Hope for Success.
Whether final agreement was in
sight for this afternoon was uncer-
tain, but there was no change in the
apparent hope on the part OF the
American commission for a successful
settlement.
The negotiations this morning
opened with a session between Secre-
tary Winston of the American COM
mission and experts of the Czechoslo-
vakian commission.
Mellon i'm Conference.
About noon this meeting was ad-
journed to the big conference room
where joint sessions are held. At this
point Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon Joined the group and was in con-
ference for some time. Afterward it
was announced that the American
commission had heen called Tor 3
O'Clock, with a joint session to fol-
low.
The experts of the two countries
have had before them for several days
the figures on the principal of the
debt, over which there was disagree
ment. The American Government has
taken the position that the principal
stands at S91,S79.671. while the Czecho-
slovakians, in diplomatic correspond
ence prior to the arrival of their COM
mission, said they recognized an obli-
cation of 80,234.S0S. The interest on
this debt, according to American fig
ures. computed at per cent, was. as
of May 16. s25.79s.424.
There has been no joint session Of
the two commissions since the open.
ing Of the negotiations Monday.
Lithuanian Debt Funding Up.
Details Of another funding agree
ment were completed yesterday when
new obligations were placed in the
Treasury, displacing the original pa
pers on the Lithuanian debt.
kazys Bizauskas, the Lithuanian
Minister, delivered to the Treasury
bonds of his government in the princi-
pal amount of 5000 ,00G, receiving in
exchange the original obligations given
by his government in connection with
the sale of surplus supplies by the
Secretary of War and relief supplies
furnished by the American Relief Ad-
ministration. OF the principal amount
$50 900 had been paid on June Is last.
The bill approving the Lithuanian
settlement was signed by the Presi-
dent September %. 1924. The agree
ment has likewise been approved by
the SeimaS of Lithuania.

No. 6-General Supply Committee.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Uncle Sam needs large fireproof
warehouse, located on a railroad sid
ing, large enough to accommodate
quantity purchase of all supplies need.
ed by the Government and to take
care of all storage requirements.
This Government purchases annu-
ally in dribs and drabs, through more
than 40 different agencies scattered
through the Federal esta blishment in
Washington, upward of $4,000, 900
worth of miscellaneous supplies.
BY buying on a definite qua antity
basis and taking advantage of sea
Sonal opportunities a great saving
could be effected in unit cost. There
would be considerable discounts for
prompt payment. There would be
also considerable saving on carload
lot deliveries instead of small freight
or express invoices. Truckage could
be reduced to a minimum. Storage
space in each department could be re-
leased for office use. There would be
one inspection instead of many. Cleri-
cal work would be minimized.
For these reasons the Public Build
ings Commission has for the last
three years advised Congress that such
modern warehousing facilities should
be provided for the general supply
committee, an ninterdepartmental board,
through which all the purchasing
agencies in the various Federal es-
Establishments make their purchases.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the Pub
lie Buildings Commission, recommend
ed to Congress that the construction
of such building would be of i'm
mense benefit to the Government serv-
ice"
In reporting the public building bill
to the Senate from the committee on
3, 1924, Senator -keyes said:
"A large fireproof warehouse for the
use of the general supply committee
and other purchasing agencies Would
be most advantageous investment
on the part of the Government This
building should be conveniently 10.
Gated with respect to railway facil-
tiles and large enough to accommo-
date all current stocks of supplies car
ried by the Government and to take
care of all storage needs"
These recommendations doyetail
very accurately with the administra-
tion plans for reorganization Of the
administrative branch of the Govern
ment.
The general supply committee was
created Is years ago, in lieu of the
old Board of Awards. 1t is composed
of officers. one from each of the ex-
ecutive departments. designated by
the head thereof. 1t is the duty of
the general supply committee to make

and other Government establishments

supplies, eliminating all unnecessary
grades and varieties, and to solicit
bids based upon formulae and specifi-
cations prepared by specialists.
