Stubborn Mitchell
Has Officials Guessing
Penalty to Impose

washington, OCT. % \Af) - Act
ing upon advice of counsel, Colonel
William Mitchell refused twice to-
day to become a witness before the
naval court inquiring into the wreck
of the Shenandoah, which desired
to question him concerning charges
he had made against the navy de-
partment in connection with that
disaster.
Appearing in obedience to direct
orders from his superiors in the war
department, Colonel Mitchell first
declined to take the oath necessary
to qualify him as witness, and
then refused to respond to formal
subpoena issued by the court and
personally delivered to him by the
judge advocate.
What action, if any. the court or
the war department will take
against the officer who already Is
facing the probability of court mar
tial proceedings as a result of his
Shenandoah charges and other
charges, was undecided tonight
Both navy and army officials
seemed to be agreed that the court
had authority either to impose
penalty itself or certify the> case to
the federal district attorney for con-
tempt proceedings, but all the court
has done so far is to direct that an
official report be made to the Wcr
department.
The report was prepared but was
not forwarded pending a conference
between Rear Admiral Hilary p.
Jones, president Of the court, and
Secretary Wilbur. Meanwhile. how
ever, war department officials exam
ined the statutes in the premises.
and some of these officers were of
the opinion unofficially that, since
Mitchell has obeyed the army order
directing him to appear before the
Shenandoah court, the matter now is
entirely within the jurisdiction OF
the court itself.
The refusal of Colonel Mitchell to
qualify as a witness apparently took
the court by surprise, especially
since, in appearing before the presi-
dents air board two weeks ago, he
asked to be rlaced under oath be-
fore he began the reading of eight
formal statements.
Colonel Mitchell himself had lit
tie to say to the court.
{ When Admiral Jones appriSed the
army officer that he was called to
testify on matters relating to his
statements about the Shenandoah
disaster. Mr.. Reid objected to his
client taking the oath, explaining
that he had appeared in response to
an order by his 'superiors and not to
summons by the court. Colonel
Mitchell, meanwhile, had spread out
a single page statement before him
and the court was informed that he
wanted to read that before taking
the oath.
Admiral Jones ruled that no state
ment could be made until the oath
had been administered. Again Mr..
Reid objected and when Colonel
Mitchell stated that he accepted the
representation of his counsel. the
court considered in executive ses-
sion the point raised that no official
subpoena had been issued and dir
ected the judge advocate, Captain
Paul Foley. to prepare a summons
and deliver it in person. This was
done, Colonel Mitchell accepting the
service, but his counsel stating that
he would not appear in answer to
the subpoena. This was reported to
the court, which Immediately dir
ected that a full report be made to
the war department
