Foulois Flying When Army Had One Plane WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. M)-The Army will lose one of its most distinguished ex-privates when command of the Air Corps changes hands in December, but the flying branch still will be headed by a man who started in the ranks.

Benjamin B. Foulois will become chief the Air Corps December 15. He will succeed James E. Fechet, who will retire soon afterward. Fechet ends a brilliant career which began as a private during the Spanish-American War.

AIR FORCE FATHER Foulois has been running the Army's air force in some capacity or other much of the time since it began.

F. L. Official Indorses Proposed Reconstruction NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Virtually unanimous opinion that the anti-trust laws undulty restrain the economic progress of American business was expressed tonight by speakers at the New York University national conference on law and business.

The principal difficulty with the laws, speakers said, is that they threaten criminal prosecution to violators even when those violators have attempted to co-operate legitimately. Almost every speaker suggested that some governmental body should be authorized to pass in advance on proposed combinations, and that those entering into the agreement be exempted from the criminal provisions of the anti-trust acts, though not from civil action. Rush C. Butler of Chicago, chairman of the committee on commerce of the American Bar Association, explained the association's proposed law embodying these proposals. It was indorsed by James W.

Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany, and Oscar Sutro, general counsel of the Standard Oil Company of Cali In I F'ia Right to Confirm and Later Reject Contested WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. W) The Senate took one of its arguments with President Hoover to court today to determine whether it, like a woman, has a right to change Its mind. George Otis Smith's seat as chairman of the Federal Power Commission is at stake. After confirming his nomination, the Senate voted for reconsideration and rejected the appointment.

Meanwhile, Smith had assumed office and President Hoover refused to remove him. Smith listened intently, but imper-turbably today while two celebrated lawyers bombarded Justice Gordon of the District of Columbia Supreme Court with arguments. John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential nominee in 1924, speaking for the Senate, contended that body was well within its rights in confirming Smith's nomination last December and then rejecting it after the Christmas holidays. He called attention to a Senate rule permitting a motion for reconsideration within two "legislative days" after action is taken.

George Wharton Pepper, former Senator from Pennsylvania, Insisted that when the Senate confirmed Smith and so notified President Fine Period Reproductions Auditorium, Fifth Floor Gen. Foulois Hoover, it was without power to take further action unless the nomination was returned by the Chief Executive. This, President Hoover refused to do, on the grounds that the Senate was attempting to invade his executive authority.

A religious woman herself, Mrs. Addington declared that on day before the J72-year-old Sheriff was kljled the boy asked her to read him the first six chapters of the Book of Joshua in the Old Testament. LURID CHAPTERS These chapters deal with one of the bloodiest periods in the history of the wandering tribes of Israel and Judah, when Joshua, their general, took the city of Jericho.

In the biblical drama Hebrew spies entered the city with the help of Rahab, followed by "40,000 prepared for war," who marched around Jericho blowing trumpets, then attacked and "utterly destroyed all that was In the city, both man and woman, young and old with the edge of the sword," then looted and burned I town. After hearing this, the grand mother said, Hubert left home, car. rying a pistol he had stolen. She said she asked the Sheriff to find the boy but that he searched only a short time. Mrs.

Addington said she was angry and if she had known he would cease the hunt she would have searched all night. In the early morning hours of August 5 Charles Carlisle, telephone exchange manager, said he heard a noise in the Peter Klaus store and notified the owner and the SherifT. Wormell, Deputy Wayne Bezona and Klaus went to the store, which was shrouded In shadow. A shot fired in the little store tumbled Wormell to the floor with a slug through his brain, and the pistol flare showed the white-faced boy crouching behind a pickle barrel. Bezona said he shouted: "Come out or I'll kill you." The boy tossed his gun to the floor, the officer said, and admitted the killing, saying he was prompted to steal and shoot by an Asotin man whom officers later declared innocent.

DEFENDANT HAS COLIC The State rested today and indications are that it will be late tomorrow before defense testimony is concluded. Mrs. Addington's recital and recess caused by a stomach-ache the boy contracted from "too many hot cakes for breakfast," had taken up most of the day, before Mrs. Mary White of Star, Idaho, Hubert's aunt, took the stand and said she thought he was mentally Irresponsible. "He does not know the difference between right and wrong," she said, adding that a disease of his father might have affected Hubert's brain.

Alert and smiling, despite hk "ache," Hubert was more concerned about the effect of his new suit than over the trial and cheerfully posed for a picture. Between court sessions he played his harmonica. WOOLSEY'S SISTER DIVORCES HUSBAND CHICAGO, Oct. 27. Mrs.
