JAPANESE ARE arrogant
SAYS RETURNED AMERICAN
Their Dream Is to BE Mistress of tn,
Sea, Is the Statement Made
BY A. II. Pitts.

Special to the Light.
San Antonio, Texas, April IA.
r. Pitts of New Haven Conn, re-
tuning from a three years sojourn
in Japan, is spending some time in
San Antonio, stopping off here to
see a kinsman Since coming to the
United States | have seen newspaper
references, said Mr.. Pitts, to the
insults aimed at Secretary of War
Dickinson by Japanese of rank on
the occasion of his official visit to
Toxic last year ! am surprised that
this story is just now getting to this
country This is one of scores of in
cidents showing Japanese dislike of
Americans that ! have seen and
heard of during the past two years.
The Japanese are arrogant beyond
the comprehension of those VINO
have not seen them at home, as the
result of their victory over Russia
and China, and they will make war
on the United States under the least
pretense, and when they do so Uncle
Sam will find them hard problem
to solve. Their dream is to be mis-
tress of the sea.

THE FLYING MACHINES
ARE THE WHOLE SHOW
WRIGHT AND CURTISS AIR
CRAFTS MAKE DAILY
FLIGHTS.
Both Makes Have Accomplished
Great Feats and the Good Ma
tured Rivalry VIII Prove
Very Helpful.

Special to the Light.
San Antonio, Texas, April IL
Since the arrival of Glenn CGrtiss
with his biplane built especially for
army signal service and reconnoiter-
ing, one of the big features of army
mobilization here is the flying ma
chine department, interest being
keen in the contest carried on be-
tween the Wright and Curtiss ma
chimes The constant try-out of the
flying machines at the military camp
has much of the appearance of an
aviation meet. The recent flight of
the Wright machine of 1l6 miles
carving two passengers, and the re
markable work in carrying mes
sage from General Carter's head
quarters to the maneuver ground.
at Leon Springs. going around the
north end at range out or firlnS
distance from the supposed army
that lay between General Carriers
command and re-enforcements at
Leon Springs, has stimulated the
Curtiss people to make an unusual
effort in demonstrating that this air
craft is quite as useful as Wright |
machine. Both Curtiss and those in |
charge OF the Wright machine ap-
pear to give little attention to at !
mospheric conditions but make !
flights in all kinds of weather re-
gardless OF the speed OF the wind. a
gale of thirty-five or forty miles an
hour has no terrors for either Of
them, and they tempt the choppy
winds Of the Texas plains and do all
kinds of air maueuvera under almost
any conditions. At present, the fly
ing machine is the big card at the
army camp and those manipulating
them are demonstrating to Uncle Sam
that these air craft will not only
be useful in the signal service and
for scouting duties but can do eff
fective work in the matter of handl-
ing explosives where they will do
the greatest damage to an opposing
army While it has been asserted
that field pieces have been invented
which can put flying machine out
of service, both the Wright and Cur
tiss aviators maintain that they can
90 at such a high altitude and at
such rapid speed that it will be next
to impossible for guns stationed on
the ground to do them any harm,
It is understood that a demonstra-
ton of one flying machine opening
fire on another while in flight will
be made in the near future and that
a real battle in the air will take
place.

JEALOUS HUSBANDS VICTIM
DIES SINGING SACRED MUSIC.
William Hagan Expires with Words
of Jesus, Lover of My Soul"


Kansas City, Mo-, April IL
John P. Bramhall, claim agent OF
the Metropolitan street railway, who
shot and fatally wounded William
e. Hagan in Independence, Mo-,
when he found Hagan riding in
buggy with Mrs. Bramhall, was ar
raigned in a justice court charged
with second degree murder and re-
leased on 900 bail bond. Bran
hall will return to Richmond, Mo-,
until his case comes up again next
Saturday morning.
Bramhall was released on bail
and took his 6-year-old son to Rich
mond to stay with friends until the
trial is over. In his absence Hagan
died in the hospital and Bramhall
was notified by telephone to return.
He did so and brought dozen or so
citizens of Richmond along with
him, all eager to go on his bond for
any amount.
In my hands no price | bring,
Simply to thy cross | cling!
With these words from the sweet
est of all religious songs upon his
lips, Hagan died at the University
hospital. With dying man
strength, he lifted his voice into the
strains of Jesus, Lover of MY
Soul" as he lay expiring. His attor-
ney, Frank M. Lowe, the only man
with him at the end. found the tears
streaming down his face as he listen
ed to the quavering melody, which
ended in a gasp and-death.
