WILL FIGHT FOR
HORSE RACING

WASHINGTON, August G. - Henry
Brolaski of San Diego has arrived in
Washington to urge on the State De-
partment reconsideration of its action
in asking Mexico to stop horse racing
at Tia Juana. Mexico acted promptly
on representations from Acting Secre-
tary of State Wilson, and Brolasli
now wants the State Department to
save his investment by reversing it.
self. ell says he has two lawyers
coming to argue his case.
Brolash declares that he is allowed
to do anything but race horses. He
asserts that he can run roulette, faro
or anything else he wishes to, but he
wants also the privilege of horse rae
ing. To that end he will assault the
State Department as soon as his legal
battery can be got into action.

reason the American Government re-
mains apparently so little concerned
about the advances in aerial naviga-

that an officer in the American army,
stationed at Fort Omaha, has worked
out an electric invention which is like

posed engines of war.
