Court Holds License :
Device of Patentee ;
to Fix Price Void
" NEW TORk" March 24. -The right of a
patentee under the patent law to tlx 'the
price at which a patented article roust
be sold at retail was denied by Judge
Augustus Hand in ' a ' decision handed
down yesterday' in the United States dis
trict court. A suit brought by the Victor
Talking Machine company to restrain R.
H. Maoy A Co. from selling phonographs
and records at a lower price than' that
fixed by the Victor company was dis
missed by Judge Hand. '
Counsel for R..H. Macy & Co. had al
leged that in consequence of a decision
J by the United States supreme court In
: the Banatogen case to the effect that the
' owner of a patent could not control the
retail price, the Victor company devised
a system by which it sold none of its
patented articles, but disposed of them
under a license system at a stipulated
(tries to the ultimate consumer.
The Maoy firm - refused to abide by
this plan. Judge Hand ruled that there
was only a form difference between the
fianatogen case and the Victor case.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, . March 24. (Special.)
The thoroughbred hog with a ped-
trree.and the unregistered poor man
without a pedlgree fouht it out on
the floor of the house today- and both
won. I The hog won first when an
appropriation for $80,000 was up
toy the building of a hog barn at the
state fair grounds and the appropri
ation won. '
The poor man without a pedigree
and a. slim pocketbook won In the
second round,' but it was a close call
and a bitter fight. '; The matter was
upon an appropriation of $150,000
for the erection of a public hospital
in Omaha and charges were made
that the friends ot the hog and the
friends of tbe poor man had tied up
for mutual benefits.
Norton, Taylor. Osterman. Lan'lgan.
Cronin .and a few others were against
the appropriation, Norton On' the plea' he
has made throughout the session that it
was spending money of the people when
it was not necessary.
Tailor Jolna Opposition. .
Taylor Joined with htm In opposition to
the appropriation because he said it
would mean that more money would
have to. be spent at the next session to
tqulp the building.
Friends of the bill. Relst.er, Oreenwalt.
Hunter. Negley, Richmond, Burgess,
Alnla,y. Bvans. Hoffmelater.: Meredith
and, others talked In favor of the bin
and how . much it would mesn ' to the
poor man who could not afford to send
a member of his family to a hospital
because of lack of funds and the crowded
condition ot Omaha hospitals..'
All of the six members from Lancaster
county voted with, the twelve DoukIus
county men to engross this bill for third
reading. This alone gave it over one
third of the votes needed to get It
through committee of the whole.
A motion was first offered by Mr.

Coal -Traffic Not
Paying Because of
Equipment Lost
CHICAGO. March 14. Figures designed
to show Ihst the western railroads spend
fortunes annually on equipment to handle
soft coal on which they earn no profit
were submitted by J. M. Daly, former
general superintendent of the Illinois
Central railroad, today In the Interstate
Commerce -commission's hearing of the
application ot forty-one Westers railroads
inr. hlghtv freight rates.:-. - ?''- '
In balia If of the contention of the rail
roads that they should not be allowed to
Increase rates on soft coal an average of
T.K cents a ton tn order to make coal
hauling profitable. Mr. Daly cited what
he called the excessive cost of handling
the commodity.
"In damage to equipment alone." he
raid, "central western coal roads would
have saved 112,000,000 a year towards
maintaining their credit If repairs to
their freight cars could have been held
down to the proportions prevailing on
non-coal roads In the west.
"From S1.60C.000 to n.000.000 invested In
ahirh In the western coal fields cannot
be used for othjr commodities, such as
Iron ore, lumber, etc. In the east there
Is a movement of coal to the lakes, and
of ore back, but out here the return haul
ia mostly empty.
"Kvei y two years the mines close down,
or threaten to from labor causes. In 1909
the loaded car mileage on one coal branch
fell to one twenty-fifth of normal in a
few daya, due to a strike. This comes
slmost every two years and lasts from
two to five months, resulting in more
idle equipment.
"Four of the western bituminous roads
are now In the hands of. receivers and
they are not paying dividends. The oth
ers are fortunate In having a large vol
ume of other business to help then! out
It U not a question of traffic density,
but of inadequate rate a
"Coal traffic creates abnormally large
expense for maintenance of eq uipment
The trsffle being extremely low grade,
extra heavy train loads muat be hauled
to earn anvthlng. Extremely large en
gines and cars sre necessary. These
I coal car damage themselves and other
'equipment to sn enormous extent hv I

Clack Pea. Several Turkish forts la Asia
Minor have been bombarded and a trans
port and ladon colliers sunk.
"In Constantinople the general Impres
sion is that the forts and other defensive
works of the Dardanelles have virtually
been beaten down by the allies and can- '
not hold out much longer. Everybody

ccpltal. Tho city Is deserted except for

PARIS. March S4. .w.nhardment of the
Turkish fortifications it the Dardanelles
was resumed at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing by an allied fleet. I according to an
Athens dispatch to the Haras agency.
The last concerted effort against the
Dardanelles positions occurred six dsys
ago, on March 13. This day's action re
sulted in the rtiss or three battleships.
Reviewing the situation, military experts
In London and elsewhere have expressed
freely their belief that to penetrate the
straits the marine forces must be well
supported on land. It has been said
lately tha t a strong detachment of
French troops was on Its way to the Dar
danelles. The Qalllpoll peninsula 'is the north
ern, or European, side of the Dardanelles.
At its head It la not more than three or
four miles aide. If this neck of land
were effectively held by the allies. Turk
ish communication with the strong po
sitions on the peninsula would be Im
possible. A dispatch from Athens, received by
way ot Parts, says an allied fleet resumed
the bombardment of the Dardanelles yes
terday morning.
