WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.— Col Wil-

navy and war departments.
Thrown off its scheduled program,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.— Colonel
William Mitchell objected today to
taking the oath before the naval
court inquiring into the Shenandoah
disaster. The objection was made
on his behalf by his counsel. Rep-
resentative Frank R. Reid of Illi-
nois. who said that since no formal
summons had been issued Colonel
Mitchell desired to read a brief
statement before any effort waa
made to place him under oath.
Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jone®
president of the court, said the Wit-
ness could make no statement until
the oath has been administered.
Representative Reid insisted and
Admiral Jones announced that the
court was closed, whereupon the
hearing room in the navy building
waa cleared of the crowd,, composed
largely of women, until ’the court
could consider the situation.
REFUSES TO ANSWER
COURT SUMMONS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Colonel
William Mitchell refused today to
testify before the naval court in-
vestigating the airship Shenandoah
disaster. •
After he had objected to being
sworn before the court under the
order of the army directing him to
appear, a formal subpoena for his
appearance was issued today by the
naval body. Judge Advocate Foley
delivered it in person, and Mitchell
refused to accept service under ad-
vice of hla counsel.
While the court was in executive
session determining its course after
Mitchell had objected to taking the
oath, Representative Frank H. Reid
of Illinois, his attorney, made public
a communication which the colonel
sent yesterday to the adjutant gen-
eral of the army.
Advised officially that Colonel
Mitchell had refused to appear, the
court directed - the judge advocate,
to communicate that fact to the
war department, which originally
had ordered Mitchell to come before
the court and give testimony.
Explains Refusal.
Col. Mitchell's communication to
the adjutant general sald:
“I hereby request the orders from
the adjutant general delivered Oct.
7, 1925, that I report to the naval
court of inquiry at 10 a. m., Oct.
8, 1926, be revoked.
"My reasons are aa follows:
"(a) I have been notified by the
war department that courtmartial
proceedings ar® impending against
me.
“(b) I am advise by my coun-
sel that it would be inconsistent
with my legal rights and might
prejudice my case should I be re-
quired to testify before th® naval
court on matters liable to be th®
subject of inquiry in possible court-
martial proceedings.
“My counsel advises me not to
testify at this time before th® naval
court but to request a delay until
final action shall have been made
on my courtmartial proceedings.
“This communication I® sent di-
rect as there is not sufficient time
for me to send it through th® head-
quarters district of Washington. A
copy hss been sent to head-
quarters."
