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.

"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,

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."
