tionS on the same grounds, and the
court inquired of Representative Reid
as to the purpose of the testimony.
I'VE are producing this testimony
absolutely in proof of the defendants s
statements that the Navy is asking
for millions of dollars more than the
Army for air equipment" Representa-
tive Reid said.
THE prosecution has within its
power the production of its own rec
ords to prove the statements of the
accused. These records We're so con-
tidential as TO prohibit their intro
duction in this trial, but the charges
against the accused in this connec-
ton are too confidential to come be
fore this court" Representative Reid
added.
On inquiry by Col. Winship, the
law member of the court. Maj
Walsh stated that the estimates are
not permitted to be published prior
to their approval by the President
| whereupon the court agreed TO enter
the record for the estimates in the
evidence. but not for publication.
Subpoenas Not Answered.
At this juncture Representative
Reid complained TO the court that the
| Navy has not SO far answered any
| of the subpoenas for documents sent
| 20 II and asked the court what should
| be done about the matter. There was
| a discussion among members of the
| prosecution and Representative Reid
| announced that he would leave the
question to be settled later.
Maj. Walsh started to testify re-
garding war nlaneuvers by the fleet
| off Panama in 1923, but the prosecu-
| ton entered its objection, declaring
such testimony might disclose war
plans of the Government with regard
| TO Panama Canal defenses. Upon
the recommendation OF the law mem
Der. however, the court allowed the
witness to continue. and Representa-
| tive Reid explained that the testi-
mony was designed to support Col.
| Mitchells statements alleging NAL
administration of the air defense.
Executive Conference Held.
For some unannounced reason the
court here withdrew for a brief
executive conference. When il re-
turned Representative Reid produced
a Hawaiian newspaper purporting to
give in full detail the story of the
| Hawaiian maneuvers, giving size of
| forces used, the attack and defense
plans and other data usually consid-
! cred of confidential nature. He said
| this statement was given out by the
| Navy. If they give out such infor-

then loose to the world similar In
formation in it's favor, Representative
Reid insisted. The judge advocate, ne
said, should determine from the Navy
whether the statements contained in
the paper was given out by 1t and
then admit it in the record
At this stage in the proceedings. the
court was cleared of spectators for
the first time since it began its pro
ceedings Heretofore. Gen. Howe has
announced the court will be closed,

The court remained behind closed

ACHES AND PAINS
ARE SOON FIXED UP
Simple, easy treatment brings
quick relief.

Quick, sure relief from pain is
what men want when they get
lamed up from over-eXercise or ex-
posure. or when they get a sprain
or bruise.
A soldier in the 9th Pennsylvae
MIA Infantry writes from camp:
sloan is a great thing for us
boys in the Army. After a stiff
hike or drill your muscles are
bound to ache, but they are soon
fixed up with SlCan's. It's great
stuff for muscle-bound legs, lame
backs. stiff necbs, sprains or
bruises"
The reason that Sloan's Lini-
ment gives such remarkable relief
is that it gets right at the cause
of the pain. 1t stimulates the cir
culation throughout the place
where the pain is, and clears out
congestion.
Right away you feel relief. Stiff
muscles timber up, the aching
stops, and soon you are as fit as
ever. No need to rub. Sloan's
does the whole job. Just pat it

witness what Capt. Foley said to her
on the night OF his visit.

Informed by Bearer.
When counsel had completed the
cross-examination the court took the
witness in hand to ask few queS-
tions itself. Mrs. Lansdowne was
asked how she knew that the paper
handed her in connection with the
Shenandoah inquiry was from capt.
Foley. She replied that the woman
who handed it TO her told her that II
had been sent by Capt. Foley.
Col. Moreland then expressed the
opinion that the witness should be
required TO furnish the court the
name OF this woman. Mrs. Lans-
downc said she would prefer not TO
make her name public. When the
prosecution insisted, however, she an
nounced Curtly:
Mrs George w. Steele.
Mrs. Lansdowne was then excused.
and Mai Raycroft Walsh, chief OF
the Finance Division of the Army Air
Service. was called to the stand.
Mai. Walsh at the outset was ques-
toned by defense counsel regarding
estimates for the Army and Navy All
Services for the coming year. The
trial Judge advocate Immediately OBJ
jected on the ground that such matter
was confidential, immaterial, irrele
want and incompetent. There ensued
q discussion between counsel and the
court over this question. and as a
compromise Representative Reid then
followed a different line of question
ing in an endeavor to have the esti,
mates introduced.

Interviews to Papers.

She said she had conversation with
him regarding interviews she was pur-
ported TO have granted TO newspapers
the day after the accident in which
Secretary Wilbur was held responsible.
Did you say that your statements
regarding the Navy Department were
lieS?"
NO" replied the witness II told
Capt. Gherardi that one statement al
legged to have been made by me and
holding the Secretary of the Navy re-
sponsible was not correct"
You told him, then, that you got
the Associated Press to put denialS of
this on the wires and were not salts
fied?"
Il told him l had put a statement
on the wires denying any reference
to the Secretary of the Navy, and
also had arranged that he be called by
telephone
Did you state to newspaper re.
porters that your husband had a pre-
monition that this was his last trip"
mo; l told them he said it was his
last trip, and he would be glad when
it was over. l told them he had no
premonition, but was making the trip
over official protest"
Col. Moreland, with this statement
concluded the cross-eXamination, and
Representative tNelu asked. Is capt.
Foley a personal friend of yours"
Il never met him before" replied
the witness. Capt. Foley was the
judge advocate of the Shenandoah
court of inquiry.
Asks Testimony Be Read.
At this point Maj. Gen. Benjamin
A Poore requested that the stenogra-
pher read Mrs. Landsdowne's testi-
mony as to the substance of the Foley
letters, explaining that the photogra-
pliers behind the court made so much
noise he did not hear all of it. The
stenographer began to pore over his
notes, and Representative Reid arose
and said: while he is looking for
that | would like to ask you when
Foley had a talk with you"
President Howe interjected that
"the reporter can't look for that and
take notes, too. Whereupon Mr.. Reid
