Brigadier General William Mitchell,
assistant chief OF the United States
Air Service, here on tour OF inspec-
tion following an air cruise of some
1000 miles, declared yesterday at the
Vanderbilt Hotel that the army now
has under construction ten pursuit
planes, which he believes win be the
fastest and most powerful in the world.
He said that this year the military
authorities were concentrating OH the
pursuit type Of plane, since in the
final analysis it is the type that deter
mines the cammand of the air.
Commenting on the supposed
dangers of travel by air, General
Mitchell said that his recently COM
pleted trip Of 1000 miles had been
made on prearranged schedule ard
that there had not been one variation
from the program as adopted.

Says He's a Nephew
Of Hiram johnson
Engineer Bearing Senator's
Natlle on Trial To-day for
Assault; Blow He Admits
Bro k c Officers Nose

Hiram Johnson, thirty-eight years
old, who says he is 9 nephew of Senator
Johnson, of California, will be tried in
Fifth Avenue court, Brooklyn, to-day
on charge of assault. He is accused
by Patrolman McGreevey, who says
Johnson bit him SO hard on the nose
that it was broken. following an alter
cation in front of Brooklyn cafe early
yesterday.
Johnson, who is first engineer of the
Dollar Liae steamship Diana Dollar,
lying at the foot of Forty-third Street,
Brooklyn, eaid he and friend were
drinking in Felzmann's cafe, 436 Fifth
Avenue. Brooklyn, and that McGrcevey,
in civilian clothes, was also drinking
there. When the place closed, he said,
he followed McGreevey out and the
latter turned to him and asked:
Are you looking for fight ?"
Johnson said he replied in the mega
tive, whereupon McGreevey told him to
put up his hands, he alleges. The en-
gineer, instead of obeying, declared he
hit the policeman on the nose and ran.
He found q uniformed policeman a
block or two away and put himself
under mis- protection. McGreevey, he
said, then came up, said he was po-
liceman and arrested him. At the Fifth
Avenue station, Johnson charges, Nc
Greevey hit him.
McGreevey's story differs from that
of johnson. The policeman said he
observed johnson and another man
standing in front of the cafe at an
early hour. Although he was not in
uniform, he said, he thought their ac-
tions suspicious and decided to ques-
tion them.
What are you doing here this time
of night?' he said he asked them.
"None of your business Johnson
replied, according to the policeman,
and he followed this remark with a
punch in the nose. McGreevey said
some of his teeth were broken and that
he finally captured johnson after a
chase. He preferred a charge of felon-
ious assault against his prisoner, but
Magistrate Eilperin reduced it to that
of simple assault and held Johnson in
bail of $500.
Johnson said that his home is in San

Harrnan TO Give Decision
Transit Company Continues
to Garry Passengers; Is
Ready to Add to Service

The only obstacle offered by the citv
to the continued operation Of the Man
haitian Transit Company's Brownsville
bus line is that the company is re-
CURED to obtain permit to park its
ears in the Eastern Parkway under the
city laws, it developed yesterday when
one OF the company's drivers was ar
rilaigned before Magistrate O'Neill, in
the Gates Avenue Cou t. on q charge of
violating city ordinance.
Ih1s matter was taken ,lp Yesterday
with Park Commissioner Harman, ac-
soralng to Joseph II. Hoadley, presi-
dent OF the Manhattan Transit Com
pany, who said that at the Commits.
sioner's request all the necessary na-
pers has been laid before him and that
Mt. Harman had promised decision
on Thursday.
There is no question of the legality
OF the franchise under which the COM
pany operates said Mr.. Hoadiey. "It
Is only matter of arranging for park
ing spaces at the lines terminals.''
Violation Not Intended
The fact that our men had no per-
ihits TO PARK on the Eastern Parkway
was incidental. We hadn't any inten-
~ toi3IiHG d ClCy ordinance, 'and
we sent ths drivers out under the i'm
preston that they had air the neces-
sary permits. When it was found
they had not, arranged for an inter
view with Park Commissioner Har-
man.
william Cooper, the bus driver, who
appeared IN court yesterday on sum
mons served Saturday night by Patrol
man Christian Strech, was represented
by Henry Ginnane, of 152 West Forty-
second Street, who appeared also for
the Manhattan Transit Company.
Ginnane contended that Justice
!Cropsey's injunction against CITY
buses operating over this route had
been issued against the Department of
Plant and Structures and did not an
plv to his clienls.
In en-ering the plea for Cooper Of
not guilt, Ginnane added that the
company is entitled 20 operate the
buses under franchise which became
o general law when passed by the
State Legislature on April %, 1899
Cooper's hearing was set for Thurs
day, and Magistrate Gates requested
that the Corporation Counselss office
be represented at that time.
The Brownsville bus line was in full

said, nfor the reason that In the sor-
vice we demand the fnaxinsuHl Of per-
formafYce. In other words, the fur-
suit ships must be the fastest and the
bombers must lift the maximum
weight. Ali this lessons the factor of
safety in plans and accidents must
occur. Great speed in plane In the
air means q high landing speed, whic.4
is always dangerous"
He maintained, however, that THIS
did not necesaariiy hogd srue for com
mercial aviation. becanse the type of
plane to be used for this worK could
be made TO have almost as slow d
landing speed as desired. IN this con-
nection he said that tho ordinary roll
OF q plane after landing was about
500 feet, but that on sunday f.awrsnce
Sperry had demonstrated q recent IN
vention of his whiefl utilized skids
instead Of wheels for ianding, with the
result that the rcll was reduced by
several hundred feet.
Properly regulated airwayg. he said
were the only things now needed 10
make commercial aviation an i,rmedi-
ate success. In this he included radio
control and better, more frequent and
more accurate weather reports.
THe weather service at present "a

was told by a weather bureau that #
would be impossible to cross the Alle-
gheny MountainS because Of a serious
air disturbance on the other side. ac-
cordingly, had the plane tuned ap and
started and ran into the finest weather
of the trip"
a survey is now being made, he de-
clared, by q private concern as to what
conmc cdities can be carried by air en- q
paying basis. He intimated that when
this is completed ana the facts bade
known, the country would see re-
narkable advance in commercial air
service,
We are far behind the countries of
Europe in military plane equipmeat." !"

respect the United States is not we'll

operation yesterday pending the de-
cislon on the charger against Cooper,
whose case is regarded as test. Resi-
dents of the section through which it
runs not only patronized it heavily,
but crowded the courtroom where
Cooper was arraigned. Whether the
city contemplates any restraining ac-
ton against the Manhattan Transit
Company could not be learned yester-
day. as Corporation Counsel O'Brien
was out of town and none of his as
sistants knew Of his plans in the
matter.
At the Offices of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company it was declared yes
terday afternoon that no steps to test
the validity of the bus company's
franchise were in prospect as yet.
The Transit Commission, it was
learned, regards the matter as one to
be settled by the courts.
Ready to Increase Service
Mr. Hoadley said yesterday that
though his company is not planning at
present to establish competitive lines,
it would not hesitate to do so if it
were found profitable. More buses
will be put on, he said when other dis
tricts show q desire Tor them and when
demands on the service increase, be-
tween 200 and 300 busses being avail
able for the company at twenty-four
hours notice.
The resumption of the Brownsville
bus service was followed by the inau-
guration of line from the Municipal
Ferry terminal at College Point yes
terday noon by Louis Fac, of 2e2
Steinway Avenue. Fab, who is under
stood to be acting under the auspices
of the Department of Plant and Struc-
lures, placed three buses in opera
