Mitchell Tells Court He Is Ready For Case LEGENDS OF HALLOWE’EN. i Customs That Have Lasted For Two Thousand Years. [ New York. Oct. 30.—Tomorrow is j All Hallow's Eve. otherwise Hallow- I e'en, a festival that was once eagerly ! looked forward to. Here and there, j no doubt, the oltl Hallowe’en customs 1 will still be kept up. The children i will bob for apples, and the young j men and maidens will roast ciiest t nuts by the fire in order to tell by the ' way they crack and jump, if their I sweethearts are true or false. But, speaking generally, these simple amusements no longer amuse. | However, they have ■ lasted long. [ Two thousand years, at least. For ; this bobbing for apples and divina ! tion by nuts is a survival from the j worship of pomona. the Roman god : dess of fruit trees. Moreover, this same pagan goddess is responsible for many other quaint rites peculiar to All Hallow's Eve. For example, there is one which will, even in these modern, matter-of faet days, cal! mtjny a simple maid en from iter bed at midnight to eat an apple before her mirror. If she does this, combing her tresses mean while, tlip face of Iter future husband may be expected to look over her shoulder into the glass. So. at least, runs the old belief, though how the charm will work in the case of the bobbed or shingled haired girl re mains to be seen. Apples and women have always held close association with Halowe’eu celebrations. A hazy mist of ethical mystery seems to hang about them which is ever brought to mind at the approach of the eve of All Saints'. But j for woman, the old custom of making j merry at Hallowe'en would long ago have lapsed into desuetude, i As for the apple, it found its way j nto the observance long ago from tiie day enl'idd “La Mas Pblialt." its ! pronunciation became corrupted into | lamb's wool, which later was applied ■ to the Halowe'en beverage in Ireland. | which was made of crushed roasted j apples in which mRk had been mixed. ■ Hallowe'en in the Folonnial days in 1 America was little celebrated save by ; some of the English and Irish, who | still kept the customs of the Old | World, |such as .apple-ducking and snapping and girls who tried the ap ple-paring charm to reveal their lov- j | ers initial and the comb-and-minor j test to see their faces. Ballads were j sung and ghost stories told, t But America uo longer gives way ito the superstitious oEservanceh of j Hallowe’en ; goblins, appari i [ions and bonfires arc no longer a part !of the day. The small boy and girl ' lung since became .its chief actors. For the grown-ups the celebrnt on is i confined chiefly to dances and special entertainments in theatre <lr cabaret, i It is altogether a different Hallowe'en j from that in, the days of yore, j Yet it has lost none of its mirth | and fun, even though it does not hold ! upon the calendar the place it once held. Whether goblins, witches or apparitions really do appear on Hnl | lowc'en or not, the night is marked | with revelry and merrymaking. It is a night apart for “spirits,” though [ the latter are not likely to be so much iin evidence as in the pre-Volstead days. But mischievous “spirits" gtlll choose the night for carrying off gates and other objects and hiding them or putting them out of reach. Bags Ail ed with flour will sprinkle the passer by. Door bells will ring and myster ious knockings will be heard. Lights will shine from the eyes of pumpkins and special games will be played by the young folks. These and numerous other reminders serve to keep alive the traditions of the ancient festival. Tremendous Increase in Cotton Ginned in North Carolina Raleigh, X.

Washington, Oct. 30.—(A 5 ) —Having : lost every preliminary effort to halt - the court martial proceedings againkt ‘ him, Col. Wrn. Mitchell today pleaded - nol guilty of the charges against him i and informed the court he was ready • to stand trial. 1 His plea was entered, and the trial actually got underway after the court i had rejected the last of a long list of defections based on the failure of the - prosecution to fiTtnish a “bill of par ; Heulars” of the charges against. Col, 1 Mitchell. The air officer stood smiling to aq -1 swer the charges. He , said “not • guilty" as each of the charges and . pacifications were called in turn by ■ tbe prosecuting officer. ■ The plea did not deny the accuracy • of the charge the Colonel bad made in his San Antonio statement, accus i ed his superiors cf criminal and al- \ most, treasonable conduct in adminis tering the air services of the govern ment. but merely comprised a denial that this accusation constituted con duct in violation of good order and discipline as declared in the charges. The request for a bill of particulars I was thrown out by the court after a heated argument between counsel, in which Representative Reid, of Illinois, attorney for Mitchell, declared the charges as worded by the War I>e-1 partment were “too vague." The court law officer held that since 1 all the charges wore set out in the; specifications already filed, the request i of the defense should -be denied. This finding the court accepted without ob jection from any member. After the plea of not guilty had been entered, Mr. Reid objected that the proceedings were not according to the | court manual, since the charges against the accused had not been brought in a mnnner fixed by the | manual. This objection the court ov erruled. Little'progress on' the*'trti*r*ftSß>lF was made, however, at today's sex sion, after the prosecution had finished reading from the court manual a long list of regulations by which the pro ceedings to be governed, the court re cessed unt 1 Monday to permit attor neys for the prosecution and defense to make preliminary examinations of witnesses who have arrived from Tex as. , Has Surprise Planned.
