LIGHTS ON BROADWAY
Sufficient Funds i'm Sight to Assure
Payment, Says Harrigan.

Sufficient money to pay for the
lighting of Broadway, from Houston
street to the city limits for one year
is virtually assured, City Engineer ID.
ID. Harrigan, member of the Broad
way Improvement Association, said
Saturday. A committee is at work
soliciting subscriptions, the city en-
gineer said, and every property own
err approached has subscribed.
Decision TO make n white wa"
of Broadway was reached at meet
ing of the Broadway Improvement AS
ISOLATION at its last regular meet
ing. The San Antonio Public Service
Company offered to install the lights,
providing the property owners along
the street would guarantee to pay for
the current for one year. The col
lection of the funds was then be-
gun.
Mr.. Harrigan worked out a plan
whereby property owners on the street
are to be assessed so much front
foot, depending upon the value OF the
property and by this means he believes
that the funds can be raised. In
stallation of the lights will be start
ed. the city engineer said, as soon as
sufficient subscriptions have been Sc
! cured

FLYING CLASS LARGE
BVrOOks Field Is Training 1875 Men to
Be Airplanc Pilots.

The student pilots now taking fly
ing training in the Army Primary
Flying School located at Brooks Field.
constitute the largest flying class SINCE
the war. There are now 1875 pros
pectiye airplane pilots taking the fly
ing training. Of this number, "a ere
cadets, 20 are regular army officers,
% are reserve officers and four are
National Guard officers. Of the 70
who are regular army officers, 81
are 1928 graduates of West Point.
Unlike last year, the students are
taking the ground course and flying
training at the same time, the morn
ing hours being devoted to flying and
the afternoon to ground school work.
Last year no flying training was CIV
en- until after Christmas. when the
class began giving its entire time to
that type of training. BY following
the present method the Primary Fly
ing School will be able to graduate
two classes a year instead Of one. OF
the 195 flying students now at Brooks
Field, some will complete their train
ing in March while the others will not
finish until May. After completing
their primary work the classes will
be sent to the Advanced Flying School
at Kelly Field.
A staff of 81 instructors is being
used at Brooks Field in giving train
ing 10 the student pilots. Eighteen
OF the instructors are commissioned
officers and nine are, non-commission-
ed officers.

POSED AS JELLY BEAN
But Prohibition Agent Reveals Iden-
tity and Makes Arrest.

Misplaced confidence inspired by
delusive fumes of liquor that per-
vaded the atmosphere in the vicinity
of a prohibition agent disguised as
a jelly-bean induced a Government
Hill bootlegger to exchange a short
pint for two one-dollar bills, last
week, it has been revealed by the
agent who thus played a prank upon
the olfactory credulence of the boot
leg salesman. As result, the one
who reposed confidence in his nose,
has been arraigned before United
States Commissioner r. L. Edwards
on a complaint charging him with
possession and sale of liquor.
Prohibition Agent w. ]. Knight
sailed forth one night last week on
still hunt for liquor. He was de-
termined to obtain evidence against
a man who has long been under sus-
picion by the prohibition enforcement
office. Scoring to use a stool-pig-
con, the agent determined to make
the purchase of liquor himself.
Into a bottle of corn whiskey seized
during a prior raid, the prohibition
agent dipped his finger and rubbed
it across his lips. Liquor he sprink-
led upon his handkerchief and thus
the fumes of liquor pervaded the
atmosphere about him.
Engaging a service car, the agent
soon reached the haunts of the sus-
pected one. Long and earnestly he
argued with the bootlegger in an at
tempt to persuade him. that he was
bona fide purchaser and that he
had no Interior motives in view other
than that of imbibing. The bootleg
ger approached the agent and got a
Whit of III uor. Everything was al
right. he thought. but everything
wasn't, later events proved.

Alamo, painted by him are familiar to
every one in San Antonio. Leading
artists of the city, among them the
late Julian Onderdonk, and Rollo
TAYLOR. considered his work very re-
markable in technic ana coloring, and
distinguished bv wonderful feeling for
light and air. Dealers who handled
his paintings say they had as ready
and as prompt sale as anything that
has ever been shown here, and that
ten times as many pictures of his
could have been sold if he had had
strength to paint them.
His Last Hour Frightened.
Just before his death another tardy
recognition of his work came. A pic
ture that he had painted and given
away to q friend was exhibited in the
recent Kendall County Fair, where it
won the first prize over several hun
dred other pictures. The blue ribbon
from the Fair Association and the
check that went with it was taken
to him only an hour or so before his
death and his last words were of
pleasure at the slight recognition his
picture. which he had already forgot
ten. had received. The painting was
n small one, as were most Of his pic
lures, of n small iron gateway in an
old wall that was crowned with trail
ing goubanvillia vines, but it fairly
radiated and glowed with light and
color.
Mr.. Sanchez was % years old at the
time of his death. He is survived by
his mother, Sonora Dolores Sanchez,
and his grandmother, Sonora Gauda-
lupe Garcia. A younger brother, Ro-
dolfo Sanchez who was distinguished
rs pianist both in Mexico, and in
Europe where he had studied, was
killed two years ago in Mexico City.

j. s. sENATOR-ELECT
BRUCE IN THE CITY
Appears Before Court Of Ap-
peals In Action Against Bal
tiraore School Board

Making his first visit TO Annapolis
since prediction days. United States
Senator-elect William Cabell Bruce is
here today on business with the Mary
land Court of Appeals. The new
Senator presented arguments in be-
half of Catherine B. c. Thomas and
others against Isaac S. Filed and
others. constituting the Board of
School Commissioners.
The action is a mandamus directed
against the Board of School Commits
sioners to compel that body to pay
over a sum of something over $4,000
allowed by the Board of Estimates for
the purpose of equalizing salaries OF
secondary teachers in the public
schools on the basis of equal pay fol
equal work, without distinction as to
sex or color. The school officials de-
clined to so use the fund because Il
was regarded as inadequate for the
purpose, and the utilization OF ii
would disrupt the program which hat
been prepared for the gradual equali-
cation of said teachers salaries.
Appearing with Senator Bruce in the
case was former State Senator Jacob
NJ. Moses, while the school boards
contentious were set forth in argu-
ment by Roland r. Marchant, city
solicitor of Baltimore.
