out of his play-time, his hours of

poor place in which TO study,

This fine mixture of opinions

the charge that Col. William T. Col
man, former commandant of this
Army air base, fraudulently obtained
the transfer of enlisted personnel
here was introduced by the Govern
ment today at his court-martial
trial
Col. Colman was relieved of his
command following the shooting and
wounding last May of Pvt. William
r. McRae, colored chauffeur.
Miss Ruth Hauser of Mount
Clemens, who was Col. Colman's
private secretary, testified that Col
Colman once asked her if she did
not have some boy friend" she
would like at the field. She said she
replied that her cousin, Arthur j.
Lyons of Detroit, soon was to be
inducted and that she would like to
have him at the field.
Corporal Also Testifies.
Col. Colman, she testified, tried to
have Mr.. Lyons enlisted as a bands
man, but the. War Department de-
MED the request. He was subse-
quently enlisted as parachute
rigger and assigned to Selfridge.
Corpl John w. Goldsmith of Dun
kirk, N. Y, Col Colman's home
town, testified concerning his trans
fer to the field here as an airplane
mechanic, although, he said, he
knew nothing about airplane me-
chanics.
Corpl Goldsmith said he had
known Col. Colman for many years
at Dunkirk. He said he was at
Plattsburg, N. Y, when he received
a letter from the colonel, asking If
he would not like to be transferred
to Selfridge Field.
II think your dad would like It,"
Corpl Goldsmith quoted Col Col
man as writing. He said that after
he arrived at the field he went TO
work as payroll clerk.
Lodge Not Gift.
O. E. Sovereign, head of Bay
City, Michigan, construction COM
pany, testifying yesterday, said his
company had placed summer camp
at the disposal of officers of the
Air Forces.
He was emphatic in asserting, how
ever, that the camp was not a per-
sonal gift to Col. Colman as stated
in the more than a score of charges
against the former commandant of
the air base here.
A letter, signed by Mr.. Sovereign
and offering to place the camp "at
the disposal of you and your officers
for the Duration" was introduced in
evidence.
Mr.. Sovereign testified that Her
man Granse, former salesman for
his company, had told him Col.
Colman had indicated he wanted to
rent a cottage in the vicinity of
Oscoda, Michigan.
Offer Accepted.
Acknowledging the offer, Mr.. Sov-
ereign testified, Col Colman wrote:
This means more for the war effort
In bringing up the morale of the Of
flcers than anything I can think Of
Mr.. Sovereign testified that in
April, 1912, he visited the camp and
found it in "deplorable condition"
"Highball glasses and cigarette
stubs were all over the place" he
said. II was so mad I wrote Colman
q letter of protest"
He testified that company en-
ployes use the place two week ends
month and added that the offer to
Selfridge Field officers still holds.
Mr.. Sovereign added that his COM
pany. does business of $4,000. 900
annually with the Air Forces. The
bulk of it, he said, comes from
Wright Field at Dayton, Ohio, ano
Col. Colman has nothing to do
with it.

A Correction

The journal was one of many pub
LEGATIONS which "misinterpreted" the
findings of American Petroleum In
stitute on developed crude in 1912,
which seemed to have exceeded con-
sumption William R. Boyd, president
of API, writes: s"The petroleum in
dustry did not find nearly enough oil
last year, explaining that while total
addition to reserves was greater than
consumption, only a small part was
from new fields discovered in 1912.
The 1912 volume of discoveries from
new fields was only 26O,O51 900 Dbl.
as compared with an average esti-
mate of $50, 24s 900 Dbl for each of
the past five years.

Probe for Cause
Of Mine Disdster

Investigation of the Smith coal mines
disaster where "a miners were killed
by gas explosion and fire last Feb.
81, has been in progress this week in
Red Lodge. Participants in the in
quiry include E. P. Conwell, county
attorney, representing the state; T. C.
Cotton of Billings miners union; W. j.
Jameson of Billings, H. A. Simmons
Sr., and H. A. Simmons Jr, of Montana
Coal & Iron Co., operators of the time.
Gerald o. Arnold of the U. s. Bureau
of Mines, Salt Lake, who inspected the
mine in 1912, was one of the principal
witnesses.
The coronor's jury found that the
miners died of Conclusion and gas
poisoning by gas and dust explosion"
without fixing blame but recommend
ing that more safety appliances should
be supplied in coal mines, including
"self rescue" gas helmets to which
in this instance would have saved some
lives.

OVER THE COUNTER
CTVTLTAN DEMAND LESS

Although military demands are in
creasing the requirements of oil pro
duction, civilian demand has decreased
to a greater degree than was an
ticipated, says UsBM in it's April
forecast of demand. April demand win
be percent greater than the actual
demand for April, 1912. However, de-
mand in April, 1912, was the lowest
of any month in the year A decline
in demand of 49o is expected in the
second quarter of 194S.

Titaniurn Is
Objection n
Choteau Ore

Development of the iron ore deposits
near Choteau is not feasible at this
time, in the opinion of E. W. Newman,
district engineer of UsBM, expressed
in a letter to A. J. Breitenstein, secre-
tary Of the Great Falls Chamber of
Commerce.
The Salt Lake experiment station of
the bureau of mines took 500 pounds
Of material from the Choteau deposit,
finding that it ran 43.7 percent iron
with low sulphur and phosphorus con
tent It was found that ilmenite (min-
eral containing tianium) is so init
mately associated with magnetic that
it is not practical to separate one from
the other by known ore dressing
methods. Until a process can be found,
he says, it is improbable that the Cho-
teau deposit viii be commercial. "Per-
haps some time in the future when the
low ores are depleted, the Choteau
deposit may become valuable" he says.
Charles / Kohlstad of Spokane has
been trying to develop the 29,OOO,000
ton deposit and the local Chamber of
Commerce has been assisting him in
that effort, looking forward to the
possible establishment of a sponge iron
plant here.
In this regard, Secretary Breitenstein
received an interesting letter and re-
port on the magnetic iron ores Of North
Carolina. The governor of that state
has been trying to bring about develop
ment of this iron. The report shows
that the main deposit has "three million
tons of ore readily available" An
other deposit has 100000 tons "Only
the larger and more important deposits
are being touched upon"
By contrast, the Running Wolf iron
ore deposit south of Great Falls is
figured in hundreds of millions of tons.

Urges Helene
To Get Behind
Mine Industry

The newly elected board of the
Last Chance Mining association has
under consideration the stagnation in
mining in the Helena mining region
the result of the hating Of gold mining.
At the recent annual meeting Of the
association L. S. Ropes, consulting min
ing engineer, urged that steps be taken
to remove and relieve the apathy to-
ward community effort to revive in
terest in mining and to encourage the
reopening of mines capable of produc
ing metals and minerals gravely needed
in the prosecution of the war. If need
be, he said, help should be sought by
Helena organizations from WPB and
the RFC and even through congress,
if necessary. War Production Board
has stated that it ''is interested in see
ing that all possible minerals and
metals available to increase produc-
tion shall be carefully reviewed"

boards were taking technical men from
every branch of the oil industry is a
new campaign directed by the Com

to impress upon men in the industry
their Importance in the war. Their
work, they are told, 'is an indispensable
contribution to this essential war in
dustry." The idea is to keep them on
their jobs and working hard.
