San Francisco, Feb. 26. - The United States attorney here will represent the navy department Mon day when a writ of habeas corpus seeking the release of Lieutenant Frank E. Kennedy from the Napa hospital for the insane, is argued before the superior court at Napa.
 Lieutenant Kennedy was sent to the hospital without a formal com mitment after he had been suspend ed by Lieutenant R. w. Christie, commander of the submarine S-17, who filed charges of unofficerlike conduct against him at Manila, naval records show. Kennedy was not tried, but sent to Napa from the Mare Island navy yard.
 Four physicians who examined Kennedy assert that he is sane. pr. J. w. Brownie said Kennedy has been "hounded by navy doctors at the behest of somebody who has an ax to grind"
 Mrs. Autumn Margaret Kennedy, wife of Lieutenant Kennedy, started the proceedings for her husbands release. She described the plight of her husband as due to the enmity of the Annapolis combination."

 Condition Critical
Bv Tho Associated Press,

By The Associated Press.
 Berlin, Feb. 26.-President Ebert, who underwent an operation Tues day morning for appendicitis, de- veloped peritonitis last night. He was somewhat better this morning, but his condition was still serious.
 The pretidsnt's ,phHsiriaHs this forenoon asa4ed a bulletin which read:
 "The president suddenly fell i'll at noon on Feb. 23 with a severe case of appendicitis which necessitated an operation that night. Despite the fact that the operation was under taken soon after the illness de- veloped. The appendix was found badly inflamed and partially punc- tured, so that peritonitis developed.
 "The course of the illness was satisfactory until last night but, as ofen happens on the third day. the peritonitis became worse last eve ming so that the president spent all uneasy night.
 "This morning his condition was improved, but was still serious"
 President Ebert's secretary said this noon that the patients physi- clans expected the crisis in his case to come today.
 The presidents family, whose members were summoned to the hospital during the night, returned home to the executive mansion early today but with the understanding they would go to the hospital again this afternoon.
 The presidents condition early this afternoon was still very serious.
 While the patient was sleeping at two o'clock this afternoon, it was reported that his heart action was not so strong as the hospital attend ants hoped and there was much apprehension about his condition. Dr. Bier, and the other physicians who have assisted in treating the president, will hold conference at the hospital at p. m.
 At 6:20 o'clock tonight President Ebert's physicians announced that the condition of the patient had con- siderably improved but was still serious.

Washington, Feb. 26.--The house aircraft committee, plunging into the aircraft controversy again today, ex. amined at length Rear Admiral Hill ary P. Jones, head of the navy gen. eral board, and then voted to recal Secretary Weeks tomorrow for ques. tioning on the army air service.
 Admiral Jones defended the re. cent report of the special navy board on the comparative values ot surface vessels, submarines and air. craft and challenged criticism of the report made by Brigadled Genera Mitchell, assistant army air chief.
 Admiral Jones read to the com mittee the conclusions recently an nounced by the special navy board, which he said represent the mature judgment of the navy.

 is my personal opinion that all units that make up the national defense should be ready for immediate duty.
 'Is the navy ready for such serv- ice?" asked Representative Prall, democrat, New York.
 There are a great many things we would like done," the admiral re- piled, especially in construction of and submarine protection" "
 Effect of Bomb
 Asked what would be the effect of 2,O0O pound bomb dropped from an airplane on a battleship, the ad- miral said that if it were not an armor-piercing bomb, 'the effect probably would be local" with no serious damage to the ships motive power of the personnel in inclosed places.
 Admiral Jones testified that two 1,400 pound non-eXplosive shells" were dropped from an airplane on the battleship Washington, one of which struck flair" on the ships the other missing. The one that struck failed to penetrate the deck, he added.
 'The Washington was finally sunk bY gupfire?" asked Representative I G.l;ins. republican, New Jersey.
 ''No, it was the cumulative effect of all fre," Admiral Jones replied.
 Don't you think you might have obtained some benefits by sinking the Washington with bombs?"
 NO, I don't think so. as we learn cd much about the bombing of ships from the tests on the German ships in 1921"
 Regrets Debate
 Admiral Jones said he regretted the bombing tests had been so much debated.
 "Let me say here" he added, that certain people have impugned the honor of officers conducting the tests on the German ship Ostfriesland, and it has been unfair"
 Naval officers more than anybody else, the admiral continued, have tried to learn all that Is possible about the effect of airplane bombing of surface ships.
 The witness said he doubted if 1000 pound shell would have pierc- sd the Washington's deck.
