Infringment Suit Against Airlines Filed Nebraskan Asks Conrt to Enjoin Firm from Making, Using or Selling Said Patent. Lincoln, Nov. 27. George A. Hughes of Lincoln Tuesday went to federal court as the "designer of the world's first practical airplane" to claim United Air Lines, Inc., has in fringed upon his patent and ideas. He asked the court to enjoin Unit ed Air Lines from manufacturing, using or selling the patent. No fixed amount of damages is asked, but he asks the court to decree an account ing of all profits from the patent by the defendant. Invented in 1893. Hughes claims he conceived a practical flying machine in 1893 a decade before Langley and the Wright brothers. Correspondence with S. P. Lang le3 the Smithsonian institution scientist who built the first airplane to leave the ground. Is mentioned by Hughes in hi3 petition to federal court as evidence of his early in venting. Hughes has never completed his airplane nor ridden in one built by anyone else. He says he hopes to fly to Paris and back in a few hours when he gets the money and time to build his plane. The suit, Hughes said. Is based on a patent he obtained on Aug. 2, 1932, on the idea of tilting the wings upward in relation to the fuselage an idea he asserts he copied from gliding birds in 1S93, and incorpor ated in his first models. Sought Patent. Hughes applied for his first air plane patent in 1899, but the United States patent office was a bit skepti cal of all flying machine in those days. He will offer that application, as well as a photograph taken in 1901 of him and his "airplane" model, in an effort to establish him self as the pioneer airplane design er. Hughes claims his plane, which could sell for $750, would easily fly 500 to 600 miles an hour If the en gine were powerful enough, would hover almost motionless in the air like a bird, take off in about 30 or 40 feet, and land slowly and comfort ably. PLAN TOR IWUOR CONTROL Omaha. City Clerk Ilannon said a non-political commission with wide powers to handle liquor regulations in Nebraska appears outstanding among plans now being discussed by politicians and newly-elected legis lators at Lincoln. Hannon returned Thursday from a visit there. The plan provides that the com mission be composed of three mem bers appointed for two, four and six years, respectively, by the governor. Thereafter the office would be elec tive, on a non-political ticket. Of fice staff and inspectors would be un der civil service. The plan contemplates passage of a broad regulatory law by the legis lature, leaving details and enforce ment up to the commission, Hannon said. If adopted it would be effec tive not later than next May 1, Han non added. The discussions, Han non said, indicated that the commis sion plan was looked upon favorably by Governor-elect Cochran. The country is drinking far leBS legal liquor than in pre-prohibition times, and the government agents, disappointed in the revenue, blame the bootlegger and his customers. Well, perhaps; and then the fact that there is considerable difference be tween 35 cents for a questionable drink now and the old scale of two for a quarter if you kept your foot on the rail that might account for some of the disappointment, too. :o: "Sea it before you buy It." A NEW INSTRUMENT OP WAS Washington. War's latest mon ster, an eight ton tank capable of making fifty to sixty miles an hour over rough country, was tested by the war department thru Washing ton's streets and over the memorial highway to Mount Vernon. Protect ed by three-quarter inch armorplate, and costing $30,000, it is designed to be the first of a fleet of war tanks to go into action ahead of the infantry. The war department budget probab ly will provide for construction of a number of the weapons during the next year. Maj. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, deputy chief of staff, and Maj. Gen. , ...... ,'poriea mat me ianx nues use a heavy passenger car, is comparative- ly free of noise, and at twenty miles an hour, can almost turn in its own length. Expect Iowa's Hogs to Lift Debts in 1935 Predict Price Upturn to Restore Pork ers as Mortgage Relief; Crop Below 1933. Ames, la., Nov. 25. That Iowa hogs may In 1935 get their first chance in several years to do some "mortgage lifting." is indicated by the Iowa Farm Outlook for 1935 pre pared by the Iowa State College ex tension service. "Hog marketings during the year which began Oct. 1 will probably be the smallest in 20 years," the circular explains. "The 1934 spring crop was about 28 per cent less than the year before. In Iowa the de crease amounted to 23 per cent. The fall pig crop will probably be around 50 per cent less than the fall 1933 crop." Expect Higher Prices. "The outlook is for much .. higher hog prices on the aver age next year," it continues. "The peak in prices should come next summer when the effect of the extremely small pig crop of this fall will be felt. A con siderable rise in prices is also to be expected, however, in late winter and early spring." Although production of hogs was greatly reduced in 1934 it Is prob able numbers will be still further cut during 1935, the circular says. It is possible the spring crop of 1935 will be lower than that of last spring. The unfavorable corn-hog ration and the extreme scarcity of feed supplies will probably result in relatively light breeding of sows for next spring farrow. Offset Unlikely. "About 50 per cent of the pigs In alst spring's crop were raised in emergency drouth counties an other counties In the country where corn produc tion was far below normal. It seems unlikely production in counties where feed is plentiful could offset the decrease in these counties with little corn," the report states. MATTER, MARDI ARE FREED Omaha. William Maher and Jim my Mardi. held in Jail since Oct. 23, charged with murder in the death of Harry Lapidus, business leader shot to death Dec. 22, 1931, were released on 115,000 bonds Monday afternoon in district court. Six persons pledged property valued at 67.000 to obtain the re lease of the pair, formerly big figures In the Omaha liquor traffic. Prin cipal bondsman was Mrs. Sarah Maher, mother of William Maher, who put up $30,000 in real estate on the two bonds. Others who offered security were Tony J. Minardi, Joe Scavio. D. W. Bernstlne. Frank Coll and William Ferren. TWO FOUND DYING IN HOME Easton, Pa. Jacob Jacobs, 48, a tailor's helper, and his 7 year old daughter, Alice, were found fatally wounded in Jacob's home, near two nooses hanging in a doorway. Police said Jacobs apparently lured his daughter to his home, shot her as she hung from one of the ropes and then shot himself after the second noose broke. Both were still alive when police broke in a rear doorway, but died in a hospital within a few minutes. Jacobs had been separated for some time from the girl's mother. LYNCHING DAMAGE SUIT San Francisco. On the first anni versary of the day a mob lynched John M. Holmes and Thomas H. Thurmond In San Jose for the kid-nap-slaying of Brooke L. Hart, Holmes' young widow filed a $20,000 damage suit here. The suit, the sec ond filed during the year by Holmes' relatives, charged Sheriff Emlg and his deputies failed to protect Holmes from the mob. Leaders Called by President to Frame Program Senators Robinson and Harrison to Discuss Bonus and Tax Ques tions with Eoosevelt. Presidential thoughts turned to the new congress with the summon ing by Mr. Roosevelt of Senator Rob inson of Arkansas, democratic lead er, and Senator Harrison of Missis sippi, chairman of the finance com mittee, for a preliminary conference at Warm Springs, Georgia. These two administration stalwarts, who will travel to Warm Springs Monday, will be depended on by the presi dent to a great extent in keeping the overwhelming new deal forces on the administration path. Cf impending controversial Issues, there is little doubt of determined opposition to the immediate full pay ment of the soldier bonus certificates. Senators Robinson and Harrison would be called on to help raise the funds should this proposition suc ceed, it was suggested. As for new taxes, there is an obvious determin ation also to avoid a revenue raising bill at the incoming session. Some of the temporary emergency levies probably will be extended. The president also will resume his business parleys from the little white house cottage this week. Rudolph Ilecht, new president of the Amer ican Bankers association, and Secre tary Roper, of the commerce depart ment, will call. Sunday, however, was devoted to quiet and a further demonstration of the president's community life thoory. Mr. and Mrs. Edsel Ford of Detroit called for an informal out door luncheon.. Late in the day Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt drove about the countryside. The friendship estab lished here between the president and Edsel Ford is regarded aB an other milepost in the program for ; closer co-operation by business with j the new deal. Eugene Black, governor of the At lanta federal reserve bank and spec ial liaison officer between the gov eminent and the banks, reported to the president increasing co-operation by the banks with the effort to ex pand credit. In beginning his congressional discussions, Mr. Roosevelt looks on one of the largest majorities ever given an administration in congress But he is regarding it very seriously, fully aware, his aides say of the dan gers Involved. So far there is no sign of any further emergency legls lation. MORMON CHURCHES CLOSED Salt Lake City. Officials of the Latter Day Saints here were at a loss to explain a reported order of Governor Quevedo of Chihuahua, Mexico, closing Latter Day Saints meeting houses In that state. Not only are the branches of the churches in Mexico In charge of officers of Mexican citizenship, many of them natives, but most of the residents of the five Latter Day Saints colonies In Chihuahua are native or naturalized Mexicans, Sylvester Q. Cannon, pre siding bishop of the church explain ed. While many of the colonists were forced by Internal troubles to flee from Mexico In 1912, they re turned two years later aad since then their work has been undisturbed.' BiBhop Cannon said the church has observed strictly the Mexican laws, particularly that forbidding aliens to conduct religious services. El Paso, Tex. Elder Melvin J. Ballard of Salt Lake City said here Mormon church officials In Chihua hua would co-operate in every re spect with the Mexican government's edict closing places of worship. "We always have been treated well by the Mexican government and we Intend to continue harmonious co-oper ation." Mr. Ballard said. "We will not say that we are happy over the situation In Mexico, but we feel that conditions will improve In due time." CALLED 'GOOD TIME GIRL' Louisville, Ky.
