JANIN INVENTOR
 0F FLYING BOAT
Hearing Next Week Will Mean
 $800,O00 to Glenn Curtiss

New York, Sept. s.-The boy was possibly five years old. His golden curls lay about his face. In his hand he had three clothes pins dove tailed together.
 "Hey, pop!" he shouted. well beat Glen Curtis yet. Look at my new flying machine.''
 Albert s. Janin, who was once called inventor of the hydro-aero- plant smothered Albert s. Janin, IT,, in his carpenters embrace. The boys flying machine was smashed to smithereens. Janin sent the boy away and brought his fist down on the table with a bang.
 Invented Hydro-Aeroplane.
 tell you I invented the hydro teroplane, and not Glenn H. Curtis. But Curtis is a rich man, and I'm Just a poor carpenter. The board of examiners of the patent office in Washington decided I was the inven- tor and then, last week, the commits sioner of patents decided I was not. I'll fight Glenn Curtiss in the court of appeals.
 Janin is a dreamer, say his neigh bors He was born in Staten Island,
 
 birthplace with his wife and seven children. He is thirty-six years old, and since he was a cadet on Ward steamer at nineteen, he has dreamed of an airboat that would initiate the flying fish.
 Built First One.
 Several years before Curtiss thought of a hydro-aeroplane, Janin built the model of one and begged friends and strangers, among them Lewis Nixon, to supply him with the $3.OOO neces- sary to buy a motor. Only his wife believed in him. On January 26, 1911, he filed an application for a patent on. his design for the flying boat. On August 22 of the same year Glenn H. same "counts" He brought his case before the examiner of interferences; Janin didn't have the money to hire lawyer. He told his story to Thomas A. FIill a patent attorney and former president f the Aeronautical Society of America Hill decided to fight the case without charging Janin & penny.
 Janin won before the board of ex- aminers Then Commissioner of Patents Ewing reversed the decision on the ground that priority of claim was not enough. Within thirty days Glenn H. Curtiss will be called to court in the District of Columb bia. If he loses the fight he loses contracts with the Allies for flying machines now being constructed which are valued at $800,000.
 "We'n win!" cried Janin yester- day.
 Curtiss Should Give Up
 ''Curtiss might as well give up his fight now,' said Thomas A. Hill, in his office, in (the Woolworth Building. 1T have surprise in store for him which we won't have to appeal at all."
 Janin pointed out that the Curtiss company had made several offers to him and his attorney to stop the fight. Even his children are talking hydro-aeroplanes, dreaming of them, and they listen as he argues the de- tails of the case before them.
 Joshua Shaw, painter, sculptor and inventor of the percussion cap, was Janin's great-grandfather. Janin was

UNFINISHED RACE,
Remainder of 2:1O Pace Run Off al
 Charter Oak Today

Hartford, Sept. S.-The 2:1o pace which went five thrilling heats yes- terday and as. unfinished as it is of the three of five variety, became an added attraction on today's card at Charter Oak Track in the grand cir cult meeting. The other races were to be the 2:06 pace, purse $2,000, the 2:24 trot for three year olds, valued at $2,OOO, and the 2:o4 trot for $1,000. This was the third morning when weather conditions were un- promising. On preceding days the skies cleared by noon and the track was all to be desired.
 In the unfinished race Judge Or m onde was twice heat winner, and then was distanced, after Hal Boy had taken the initial heat Russell Boy, the contender in each heat then took two heats.

SPANISH KING PLANNED us. VISIT

Paris, Sept. 8, 5:20 a. m.-Kint
 plans for a visit to America, because of the war, he told Senor Cevillier, an Argentine journalist, during an audience at which the conflict now rag ging was freely discussed.
 "It is quite impossible to prophecy is quoted as saying in a review of the conversation, printed by the Es- 1 pana review. Tt was my pet dream to visit America, but I shall not be able to go now for years. When the war is over the work here will be enormous. To hasten reforms we shall have to abandon all outworn forms and, if I do not deceive my selt, the role Spain will have to play will be such that her progress, which hitherto has been at a snairs pace will be increased to a tremendous speed"
 The same progress may be expect ed for all humanity if the war results in general disarmament" observed Senor Cevillier.
 No Disarmament After War.
 "Ah, mo-" returned King Alfonso. After the war nations will arm more than ever. When one sees a coun- try like Belgium, neutralized by agreement of all nations, eventually finding no other defense than her own armed force it is easy to understand that other countries, big and little, realize that to exist it is indispen- sible to work in times of peace and surround themselves with the most positive guarantees"
 Does not Your Majesty think the lower social orders will exercise pressure on the governments to pre- vent them from increasing the bur- den of armed peace asked the in- terviewer.
 Socialism to Gain.
 "I think, and you may repeat this, "replied the Spanish ruler, that socialism will become daily moro governmental and that socialists will obtain satisfaction for their more just aspirations by legal methods, with out having to violence; but I think also that as they evolve they will find they have been deceived by certain politicians who have made of international pacificism a banner on which they have lived.
 Even the pacifists will recognize | after this war that while the instincts | of human nature remain unmodified | there are no better safeguards for | right in international questions than | foresight and strength. Besides, after l the war, there Will be no unemploy- l ment. On the contrary there will he | work for all, and it will be necessary to work. The world will continue to be what it Is and in ten or twelve l years we shall ask ourselves. astound- ed, But what happened. ?''
