Japanese a Hems On the sea.


The Japanese are natural sailors,
and they swarm on the seas because
the scanty economic resources Of
their country and their insular and
contracted geographical position make
the sea their birthright The lesson
of their success In handling a mod
ern navy in the war with Russia is
that they are equally adapted to
handling a merchant marine in com
petition with the world. Their spe.
cial advantages on the Pacific are
conspicuous, and they are not a peo-
pie to neglect the advantages which
nature has given to them. Other
countries may exclude Japanese i'm
migrants, but on the high seas they
must expect to meet japanese com
petition that may be all the hercer

MAYORS RIGHT is ATTACKED

Terre Haute. Ind, Sept. 12.-Judge
Cox, OF the superior court, has been
listening to arguments for three days
in the injunction cases brought by sa-
loon keepers to prevent Mayor Lyons's
revoking their licenses. Several law
firms appear in behalf Of the saloon
men and Prosecutor Cooper and his
deputies are appearing for Mayor
Lyons.
The lawyers for the saloon men argue
that the clause in the cities and towns
act of 1905 Is invalid for a number of
reasons. The demand for q change of
venue was refused by Mayor Lyons, and
the lawyers argue that though the act
did not specifically provide for a change
of venue. it is a commop-law right and
that the statute was invalid because
it lacked the provision.
The lawyers for the mayor argued
that he acted in an executive capacity
and not judicial, and there would be no
change Of venue. Whichever way the
cases may be decided by Judge Cox,
there will be an appeal to the higher
courts. The attorneys of the brewing
interests contend that if the provision

out appeal or change of venue and on

FLIGHT IS SUCCESSFUL
j. L. Case Makes Good in
Ascent With Airsflip at
Indianapolis.
Especial to Lake County Tiraes.)


South Chicago, Sept. 13.-Word
reached South Chicago today that yes
terday for the first time J. L Case made
a successful flight with his diragible air
ship at the Indiana State fair that is
on at Indianapolis. He had made other
attempts on the previous days but rot
until yesterday was he really success
full
At IL o'clock yesterday there was a
mighty rush Of people for the open air
a the fair grounds. The airship was
making its first flight and 10000 peo-
pie were crowded about it's tent be-
hind the horse barns to see IL rise.
1t was the first successful flight of the
week. The big gas bag, with a small
engine driving its propeller. rose about
fifty feet and moved slowly toward the
southeast. going with the wind. When
near Fall creek, it rose TO the height
of the trees.
The navigator poured out a quantity
of ballast and undertook to steer the
craft back over the exposition build
ing, but the wind was too strong.
Slowly the big ship went higher, hold
ing its position over the southeast side
Of the fair ground, and in five minutes
it appeared to be 1900 feet high. The
chug of the engine could no longer be
heard. The navigator was so small
that he could be seen with difficulty.
The balloon looked like a big pickle,
and seemed to be floating on a level
with the feecy clouds around 1t. At
ter a flight of a half hour, the ship
was brought down beyond the woods

DRUDE LEADS ATTACK
NEAR CASABLANCAC CAMP
Under the Cover of Fog He
Marches French Troops
to Advantage.
SHARP FIGHT IN THE HILLS
Arabs Show Great Courage But Are
Routed With Heavy Loss on
Their Side.

Casablanca. Sept. 1.-THE captive |
balloon used by the French to observe |
the positions Of the Moors discovered |
a Moorish camp OF 600 tents. in the |
hills, about six miles from Casablanca, |
and a French detachment marched out |
yesterday, shelled the camp. set fire TO |
the tents, and dislodged the tribesmen !
with heavy loss. The French loss was
small
The French marched out at in the |
morning in two columns Of six COM
panies each, with two batteries of field
artillery. four mountain guns. and cav
airy. General Drude was in personal
command.
The march was skillfully carried out
under the cover OF a fog until half way
to Taddert, when the fog lifted and
disclosed the enemy. The troops
charged several large bands of the en-
envy ct the point OF the bayonet, and
although the Moors resisted with their
old time courage they were finally
compelled to retreat In the face of a
superior force and both Of the columns
of allied troops advanced on Taddert.
"Bed Caid" Fights Calamity.
The red caid,' who behaved SO gal
lantly in the attack Of August 21 again
distinguished himself Gathering a
few OF his bravest men together. he
attacked the French right. but the ad-
vance was delayed only few minutes
The AIoors endeavored to employ
| their now familiar tactics of circling
rapidly in front OF the advancing
troops with the object Of cutting off
and surrounding a section of the al
\ lied force but the attempt utterly
failed today. largely on account of the
rapid advance of the two independent
columns, whose movements seemed to
puzzle the Moors and made them be-
Iieve that a trap was laid for them.
When the tirailleurs reached the
crest Of a ridge and looked down at
Taddert and the enemy's camp for the
first time they could hardly be restrain
ed, but the advance was checked at this
point to allow achievements from the
second line to come up, and then the
whole force swept forward over the
low ground
MOOrs Routed, Camp Burned.
The enemy made show OF resist
ance, but the artillery and the warship
Gloire shelled them from their position.
The tirailleurs and the foreign legion
rushed the last crest. On an immense
plain lay the tents or the Arabs, who
were streaming out at the back, max
ing for the high ground in the rear.
Under the fire of every gun that
could be brought to bear, again the
infantry rushed forward, this time
among the tents. One immense square
was formed around the tents. which
had been set on fire. and In half an
hour all that remained of Taddert were
heaps of smoking debris.
The amount Of the French losses is
uncertain, but it must have been ex-
tremely small, for the men were spread
out over a huge front. The French
lprobab1y will continue to advance and
try to prevent a fresh concentration.
When the Moors saw their camp in
flames they set fire to all the farms and
woods they could reach and soon the
country surrounding Taddert was COW
cred with smoke and flames.
