TRIAL RECORD
WILL NEXT GO
TO PRESIDENT
Boards Action Answers
Question of Courts Right
10 Pass Sentence
SENTENCE MAY BE CUT
Some Believe Coolidge Will
Allow Mitchell Part of His
Regular Pay

Washington, Jan. l9-LP)-Convic-
tion of Colonel William Mitchell by
an army court martial for violation
or the 96th article Of war was ap-
proved today by the war department
board Of review. insofar as legal as
poets of the trial are concerned.
The trial record with the boards
report will be forwarded probably in
the next day or no to the judge advo-
cate general Of the army, and after
further examination by him will be
started on its way, through Secretary
Davis. to President Coolidge.
Action Of the board of review would
seem to put ut rest all speculation rs
to the constitutional right Of the
court to sentence Colonel Mitchell to
suspension for five years from duty,
command and rank in the army as
we'll AZ to deprive him of all pay and
allowances for five years.
Presidents Action Awaited.
Major General J. A. Hull. the Judge
advocate, probably will forward the
papers to Secretary Davis this week
and it is not expected that the secre-
tary will delay their delivery to
President Coolidge. Until the presi-
dent acts, the courts findings, which
grew out Of Colonel Mitchell's criti-
cisms of the war and navy depart
ments, cannot be made effective.
Regardless Of the recommendation
Secretary Davis and General Hull
may see fit to make, it is regarded
likely that Mr.. Coolidge will give
most careful attention to the pay for
feiturc before he determines his
course of action.
Powers Are Broad.
1t is within the presidents power
to commute all or any part of the
sentence. Some legal authorities be-
lieve it is within the range Of possi-
bility that the president will CONF
mute the five-ycar suspension to -:
years and in addition will allow the
officer some part of his regular rry
and allowances.
A reduction of tire five-ycar period
by half would cause the sentence to
expire near the time Colonel Mitchell
would become eligible under the so
year service law to apply for retire
ment.
The Colonel, however, has given
no indication since his trial ended ~
to his future plans. 1t is known that
he cares little if at all for army re-
trement privileges and still is deter
mined above all other things to carry
on his fight for what he terms "adc.
quatc national defense and a unified
or, improved air service"

Opera GOers Call
for Composer Who
Died 81 Years Ago

Aix-la-C -Chapelle, Prussia, Jan. 49,
R)-George Frederick Handel, COM
poser Of "The Messiah" who died in
1859, was boisterously summoned
back to earth by opera-goers when his
"Rosalinde" was performed here for
the first time.
Eve want Handel! We want Han
del! yelled the crowd, following the
German custom of calling the COM
poser If his composition commends
itself to the listeners.
At first those versed in musical
history took the yell IS joke, but a
glance at the earnest, enthusiastic
faces of the claquers was convincing
that the composer was actually re-
Rarded as q contemporary musician.

COMMITTEE APPROVES
HIGHER CORPORATION TAX

Washington, Jan. .-tP) An in
crease in the corporation tax from
1919 per cent to 13l. per cent on all
levies paid after the pending revenue
bill becomes law was approved today
by the senate finance committee.
The change was made after the
treasury had estimated that the bill
as previously ordered reported would
cut taxes this year by almost $780,
100000 or about $l0O,0OO,OOO more
than recommended by the administra-
tiOn.
The committee had voted to in
crease the corporation levy only to
13 per cent on taxes paid this year
and to make the rate 49,. ner cent
after next January ]. BY making a
flat increase to l3'. per cent i'm
mcdiatel-. Chairman SmOot cstimat-
ed $43.0OO.OO0 more revenue would be
raised.
As the bill now stands it provides 8
for total reduction estimated by
Senator Sm0ot at $685., 100000. He
will report the measure tomorrow, and
will try to have it taken up Monday.
Democratic members Of the COM
mittee voted solidly against increas-
ing the corporation tax. Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, ranking
Democrat on the committee, had pro-
posed instead that the treasury make
up for the increased total of the bill
by applying foreign war debt pay
ments to the cost Of the sinking
fund by which the public debt is re-
tired.
Revised estimates showed toda,
that in the compromise made on re-
ductions in the surtax rates apply
| ing on incomes between $24 900 and
| 800, ,OOG the committee made a ta.
| cut Of $23,OOO,OOO. The rates pro
posed by Senator Simmons for addi
| tional reductions on the surtaxe!
were accepted in whole on those in
| comes between $4,000 and 100000
| where the additional reduction viii
amount to $l3,0OO,0OO.
