MENOHER RESIGNS PLAGE AS CHIEF OF ARMY AIR SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Major General Charles T. Menoher Friday resigned as chief of the army air sen-ice, disclosing that his "flying general assistant. Brigadier General William Mitchell, had made a report virtually charging that the airplane was "sold out" in the verdict on the recent bombing tests. John W. Weeks, secretary of war, admitted that General Menoher had asked to be relieved and that General
Mitchell had made a protest report
which reached the secretary s office since the joint army and navy board vindicated the battleship.
"General Menoher has asked for an.
assignment with troops for personal
reasons, and though I have not passed finally upon the application, it is the custom to give deference to officers' wishes," stated the secretary. "So far as I know, the old controversy between the general and his assistant had nothing to do with the matter." At the same time Secretary Weeks declined to make public the Mitchell report. General Menoher has been at the head of the army air service since 1918. During the World war he beaded the 42nd division (Rainbow division), taking command at the time of the battle of Chateau Thierry and holding it until the completion of the Ar-gonne-Meuse offensive, which ended
the war. He was an artillery officer.

certain witnesses were tampered with in the case of Roscoe Arbuckle, accused of murder in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe motion picture actress, Harry M. Kelly, secretary of the jury announced today. "The jury also expects to clear up doubtful points in the medical attention given Miss Rappe," Kelly said. "The testimony of the doctors who attended her may be heard." The witness tampering investigation of the jury is fixed upon the failure of Miss Zeh Provost, one of the principal
witnesses against Arbuckle to tell to
the jury the alleged facts that she de
tailed to the police and the district attorney. As a result of her failure to testify the jury was compelled to postpone for 24 hours a decision to indict Arbuckle. A manslaughter Indictment was returned against him. Doctor Arthur Beardslee, house physician at the St
Francis hotel, where the Arbuckle party was held, is still being sought by the district attorney and the police. Dr. Beardslee attended Miss Rappe in the hotel. His testimony is wanted before the grand jury. He is said to be on a hunting trip.

Scores of letters and telegrams continue to arrive at the jail for Arbuckle;!
