Lewis Doty said that the ColumLlu
cars for the season of Iflll offer the finest
examples of the coach builders' craft,
mounted upon chassis of the approved do
slcn end construction. Tho Columbia pro
duct I the embodiment of features repre
senting the best mechanical thought of the
day. In plan and build nothing la left un
done to combine the utmost refinement of
detail to promote comfort and convenience,
w ith the greatest meaauro of mechanical
efficiency. That this policy has resulted In
an artistic und highly finished product Is
evident In the models displayed. The great
Columbia works in Hartford, which Utit a
capacity of five thousand cars annually,
la building but l.OnO cars for the aeason of
lfllt. and the infinite care with which these
ears are being produced Is everywhere re
flected. The Association of Licensed Automobile
Manufacturers, commonly known as the
Automobile trust" and which is built
mound the so-called Selden patent, was
handed a severe blow lat week when the
circuit court of appeals by unanimous vote
declared in favor of tho independent manu
facturers. In arriving at the verdict, the higher
courts explained that -while the decision
leaves the patentee empty handed with re
spect to the patent for the short time It
has to run, it cannot bo regarded as depriv
ing him, through any technically . of the
reward of bis labors. liu undoubtedly
appreciated the possibilities of the motor
vehicle at the time when such Ideas were
regarded aa chimerical. Had he been ablo
to gee far enough li might have taken
out a patent aa far reaching as the circuit
court held thla one waa. Tito Hrayton en
gine was the leading engine at the time,
und hU intention was naturally drawn lo
ill auppoaed advantages. He chose that
type. In the light of events, we can see
.that had he aiiptcelated the superiority of
tho otto englno und adapted that type for
hi combination, his patent 'would cover
the modern automobile. He did not do so.
He made the wrong choice and we cannot,
by placing any forced construction of the
patent or by training the doctrine of
equivalents, make another choice for him
at the expense of these defendants, who.
neither legally nor morally, owe him any
thing." The early history of the Selden patent
niakea Interesting reading. While the
original application covering road loco
motives, designed with suitable running
gear, propelling wheel, steering mechanism,
motor, clutch, etc., was filed by George
B. Selden In 1HTU. the patent was nut
granted until November D. lKMo, having been
before the patent office for sixteen years.
Purlnff thla Interval numerous ..improve
ments were made and the application
amended from time to time to cover them.
It may be Interesting to know that a suc
cessful car has never been built under the
specifications of the Selden patent, and
there can be no doubt but that if such a
machine were possible, It would have been
manufactured long before this.
During the next few years several In
fringement suit were started in the lower
courts and In 1903 a majority of the auto
mobile manufacturers formed what is
known as the Association of Licensed
Automobile Manufacturers. This organisa
tion was built around the Selden patent
and attempted in various ways to control
the motor car Industry, but new com
panies sprang Into existence with great
rapidity and these soon became so strong
that the American Motor Car Manufac
tuiers association was founded, this or
ganization being independent of the Selden
ties and refusing to pay tribute to thum.
Thus matters stood until September l.i,
l'j.0, when Judge l M. Hough In the L'ulteJ
States circuit couit for the southern dis
trict of New York rendered hla now famous
decision In favor of the Selden interests.
This decision coming from so high an au
thority naturally caused a wild scramble
among their dependents, many of whom
applied for and received licenses Ui operate
under the Selden patent, paying for the
privilege a fixed royalty on each car man
Ufartui fd.
The new responsibilities of fathering the
automobile industry niw began lo weigh
heavily - upon the alleged "Automobile
trust." as It now became generally known,
nd careful plans were laid to exterminate
the few remaining companies, from whom
tribute could not lie extorttd. Automobile
agent and dealers were prohibited from
handling "unlicensed machines," manufac
uiers of parts and accessories were Intimi
dated, advertising agents threatened with
boycott If they accepted business from the
Independent companies and prospective
buyers were given to uudemiand that they
were buying a "lawsuit" If they purchased
Independent cars. These drastic measure
naturally had considerable effect upon the
ale of "unlicensed car" ami Interfered
I greatly with the business of the Independ
ent companies.
One of the largest of the Independent con
cerns who had ateadfastly refused to pay
I trlbuis to the a.-n'!aikn was the Velle
j Motor Vehicle company, Mollne, 111., w ho
I In 1110 instituted proceedings under the
Sherman anti-trust law, declaring the as
xclulion to cenu.iiuie a monopoly in re-
teaJnt of trade and pr:ng for reimburse
ment for damage In the sum of J.Vj,00O
This iult Is now pending In the circuit
court of the atate of Wlsconaln and every
thing possible Is being done by the plain
tiffs to ruh ths work through to com
pletion ll in geneislly understood that the Selden
patent case will be canted to the I nited
States supreme court for final Judgment,
and whll It Is possible Hist the decision
Just rendered may be reversed, this Is not
at all probable, and tinder the ruling cf I
the i ll cult court of appeals, the highest
court that has yet passed upon the merits
of the eiise. the modem automobile, a di
rect descendant from the original Otto '
ngine. Is not In any way an Infringement!
