ways running north to the county
line, connecting us up with * the
good roads of the counties to the

Bankhead Highway, and also giving
our oil fields the connections they
meed. It is also planned to have
one or more highway* rnnning
south to the Son Saba and Mills

ing to Austin and San Antonio. ^lt
la also planned to have a highway
running East to the county llbe anu
west to the county line. This will
give us several good highways and
will connect ua with the highway
systema of other countie* so that
people will not have to go around
Brown county as they are doing at
present.
"This will give ua a good highway
throughout the country in every
direction, north, nast. south and

11TA8HINOTON, Oct. 30—<*>—
YV The question whether Colonel
William Mitchoir# detense couaoel
wlll ask his court martial to sub-
poena President Coolidge was tak-
en under ndvlsemett today by Rep-
resentative Reid, of IUIaota, Col-
onel Mltcbell'a counsel. No sab-
poeba can be laened before th#
court convenes Monday.
Tha defense also to considering
the advisability of seeking a sub-
poena (tor Secretary of War Davto,
since #Colonel Mitchell's counsel
contends that tha war secretary, as
well aa the president, to accuser
in the trial of the air officer.
Regardless of the decision of th#
defense in the matter ot subpoena-
*s. the court martial, in th* opinion
of army legal officers, probably will
refuse a presidential subpoena.
Prcdnt. thy aadi, to all against
Precedent, they said, to nil
against such a coarse.
Having lost ewery preliminary ef-
fort to halt the court martial pro-
ceedings against him, Colonel Wil-
liam Mitchell today pleaded nor
guilty to the ehargss sgatoat him
and informed the court he was
ready to stand trial.
Hit plea was entered and the
trial actually got nnder way after
the court had rejected the last of .a
long list of objections, baaed on the
failure ot the proeecutlon to fur-
nish a “bill of particulars” of the
charges against Col. Mitchell.
N The air officer stood smiling to
answer the chargee. He sold “not
guilty” as each of the chargee and
specifications wars called in turn
by the prosecuting officer.
The plea did not deny the ac-
curacy at the charge that the ool-
onel had in hia Son Antonio state-
ment. accused his superiors of
criminal and almost treasonable
conduct in administrating the air
services of the government, but
merely comprised a denial that this
accusation conatltnted conduct in
violation of good order nnd discip-
line, as declared tn the charge.
After the plea of not guilty had
been entered. Mr. Reid objected that
the proceedings ware not according
to the: court manual, sines the
charge against the accused hod not
been brought In the manner fixed
by the manual. This objection the
court overruled.
Little progress on tha trial Itself
was made, however, at today's ses-
sion. The court racaaoed uatil
Monday, to permit attorneys to
make preliminary exam last loo of
witnesses who had arrived from
Texas.
Hoy Call
As today's session of the Mitchell
court martial began, a report went
the rounds among the spectators
that Colonel Mitchell would oak
either President Coolidge Qr Secre-
tary Davis of the War Department,
to face him before the court.
Yesterday defense counsel sought
by a series of insistent question*
to ascertain who actually hod or-
dered the colonel court martial led.
Colonel Sherman Moreland, the
judge advocate' general, at first
said “this to a presidential court"
and later placed responsibility ter
the proceedings on both' Preeidc n:
Coolidge and Secretary Davis.
It was* pointed ont tn War De-
partment circles today that In the
case of Judge Advocate David Q.
Swain, decided many years ago and
upheld by 9e supreme court of tin
United States, the charges . Ween
made by President Arthur in t«er
son. That the oourt martial ma;ma!
hod been re vised since that time,
the general contends, makes no dif-
ference so far as the oourt proced-
ure today to ooneeraod.
Col. Moreland opened today’s
session by asking wky Colonel
Mitchell bod asked for n “bill of
particulars.", 3 ,
Charges Are Vague.
“The .charges against the aecaa-
ed." Mr. Reid replied, “are loo
vague, too broad and too Indefinite."
Colonel; Moreland rejoined that
this request had the boom bneto an
