QUESTIONING BOND He'is Still Under Examination Commissioner. Greeley. MORE WEDDEBURN CASES: OP Treatment of Clients With Unpat- entable Inventions. TODAY’S TESTIMONY pes The investigation of charges in the case of Wedderburn & Co. was resumed this morning at 10 o’clock before the assistant commissioner of patents. The case of Hess, who invented an en- velope cutter, was taken up. In this case $50 in fees had been charged when the cir- culars of the company showed that $45 should have been the amount, but the bal- ance had not been returned to the client. Mr. Greeley wanted to know whether the witness knew of any case in which the company had charged less than the fees it agreed upon for the prosecution of cases. Mr. Bond knew no such case. In the case of Hiliard, inventor of an eyeglass, the records showed it to have been reported unfavorably by the searcher, who cited a reference which, in the opinion of Mr. Bond, completely anticipated the in- vention. But the reviser of the case revised the unfavorable report, a patent was ap- plied for and the inventor was told that it his invention was properly handled it would become a godsend to thousands, if not to miilions, of people who have to use eye- glasses. The Case of Polsiey. The case of Polsley involved an invention for raising water from a cistern or other reservoir by means of foot pressure on a bellows. The evidence showed that a search was made August 1, 1806, and the application filed October 24. The inventor was awarded a silver medal August 6, and advise¢ to take out foreign patents Oc- tober 26, two days after his application was filed. In the opinicn of Mr. Bord the refer- ences were a complete anticipation of this invention. The invention anticipating this device was dated 1809. The client had been charged $50 when the company’s fee at that time was $45, and the balance was not returned to him. In the case of Ballard, who wanted a patent on a compressed ‘air water eleva- tor, It was shown that no preliminary search was ordered or made, as the client sent Wedderburn & Co. $15, told them to get him a patent and said nothing about any preliminary search. They charged the regular fee of $45. In the opinion of Mr. Bond there was nothing patentable in the device. In the case of Romberger, the witness thought there was nothing patentable in the device, yet Wedderburn & Co. had pro- ceeded to make a favorable report on it, and on the day they put in an application for a patent they sent the inventor a silver medal, and when his application was finally rejected they advised their client that the only course to pursue was to appeal the cese to the board of examiners. An Inventor Complains. In the case of Buchanan, inventor of a fill coupling, the witness said he thought it contained nothing patentable. But a favorable report was made by Wedderburn & Co. After the case was under final rejection Wedderburn & Co. advised the inventor to appeal the case to the board of appeals, telling him to have no anxiety abeut it. He was also advised to sell his Tights in the application for a patent. A letter from Buchanan was read, demand- ing that Wedderburn & Co. return certain fees, the client declaring his dissatisfac- tion with the way the case had been prose- cuted and blaming the company for having posisea him to go ahead with the manu- facture of the article he had patented, which had cost him $500, when the article Was not patentable. The company in re- ply to this stated to the client that he should appeal the case to the board of, appeals. Other en Mentioned. After The Star’s report of proceedings in the Wedderburn case closed yesterday af- ternoon, Mr. Bond ‘continued to testify from the records of Wedderburn & Co. upon cases included in the exhibits. The case of McConnell, whose invention was a fire extinguisher, was taken up. In the opinion of Mr. Bond there was nothing patentable in the case, but a favorable re- port was made and application for a pat- ent filed. Mr. Greeley—“‘Was anything stated to this man with reference to the value of this device or a device of this class, or was any suggestion of value made to him?” Mr. Bond read a letter from Wedderburn, a the value of the invention at $20,- Mr. Greeley handed the witness the appli- cation of Johnson and Fuller and asked if there was any difference between that in- vention and the invention of McConnell. These inventions comprised the running of a pipe to carry water around the top of a house so that the roof could readily be flooded. Mr. Bond pointed out that the difference between the two inventions was that in one case the pipe for admitting supplies was on the o.tside and in the ether case this construction was arranged under the eaves, where it would be unob- servable. References cited on these cases in the opinion of Mr. Bond completely anticipated the inventions. re The Triacea Case. The investigation was resumed at 1:30 o’cleck, after a recess of one hour. The Triacea case, an invention for a wagon nut, was gone over. The record showed that Wedderburn & Co. advised their client that an appeal be taken, and said that if it were done they would use their best efforts to have the board of appeals reverse the ex- aminer. Nothing was shown by the records to indicate that the attorneys did anything other than submit the case to the board on the record. Mr. Greeley inquired: “Then, so far as the record shows, this client paid Wedder- burn & Co. $15 to take an appeal and said they would use their best efforts to have the claim allowed, but in fact did not work on the appeal, so far as the record shows.” Mr. Bond—‘“There was no brief filed. Further than that I cannot state, as it is not customary to indorse on jackets the fact of a personal appearance before the board by the person in charge of the case.” The case of Bulin attracted special at- tention, as Bulin wrote the commissioner ot patents and declared that Wedterourn & Co. had told him his invention was pat- entable, and if he refused to give him a patent he (the inventor) would sue the commissioner for $10,000 damages. The witness testified that in his opin- ion the references were a complete antici- pation of the invention. But an application for patent was made and the case carried to the board of examiers, and finally re- jected. The inventor was sent a silver medal and the National Recorder wrote CASTORIA FOR Infants and Children. SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILB SIGNATURE OF Chas. H.

To pay the cost of having the sketch published in the Recorder, $5 was charged, for which they also sent the Recorder for one year to any two persons with fifty copies of the paper containing the “write- up” to him. For a Contingent Fee. This inventor when his case was under rejection was told that Wedderburn & Co. would undertake the selling of his device for a contingent fee, charging him $20 for advertising the same. In the opinion of the witness the case was not a prop2r one to appeal, though it was appealed. After the application for a patent had been filed the inventor was told that the references came very close to being an anticipation to his device, but in the first letter giving him a report on the decision nothing was given him except the refer- ences. Question by Mr. Greeley: “Don’t you think the client is entitled to the best ex- pert advice the attorney can give him to show him exactly the condition of his ” Mr. Bond: “I do.” Judge Wilson remarked that the respond- ents were prepared to show that Wedder- burn & Co. had advised clients against appeal in numerous instances, and several letters were introduced to this effect, though al! but one of them were dated since February 15, when Mr. Bond became connected with Wedderburn & Co. ——— aes To Go to Brussels.

Inquiry at the Navy Department respect- ing the cancellation of work on the old monitor Comanche at the Mare Island navy yard shows that, as a matter of fact, such work was not authorized by the de- partment. The Comanche, like all other monitors and vessels turned over to the naval militia organizations, is so placed under condition that the organization keep the vessel in the condition she was recelv- ed. Under the law the department has no authority to spend a penny in repairs on such craft. It will dock them, however, and this was done to the Comanche at Mare Island, and it is said that no other work was authorized upon her. . Overcome by Heat. Frank Woodland, aged thirty-nine, ilving at No. 19 Pear street northwest, and em- ployed as a track hand on the Penngyl- vania railroad, was overcoine by the heat while at work on the tracks between 11th ard 12th streets southwest this afternoon, and was removed to the Emergency Hos- pital. It is expected he will be sent home during the day, his condition not being re- garded as very serious. ‘ > —_s._— Mrs. Walbridge May Recover.

JAMES A. ROSTON RESTRAINED. Judge McComas Orders Him to Cease Annoying His Wife. Judge McComas this afternoon, in the di- vorce proceedings instituted by Opal E. Roston against James A. Roston, signed an order restraining the latter from in any way interfering with the former. The order is as follows: “It appearing to the court that James A. Roston is continually threatening to harm Opal E. Roston; that he is writing her threatening and abusive Jetters; that on account of his action in standing around her house day and night for the purpose of watching for an opportunity to do her bodily harm, and sending her fruit and other delicacies, as she ‘believes, for the purpose of poisoning her, St is ordered that James A. Hoston is restrained from carry- ing or sending any printed or written mat- ter whatever to the complainant, or from standing around her residence for any pur- Pose, whatsoever, or from following her around the streets, or in any way com- municating or interfering. with her during the pendency of the suit.’? ee ER as HE TRIED TO KELL HER. John Carr, a Belt Line Driver, Shoots His Wife in the Arm. John Carr was today committed by Judge Mills for the action of the grand jury on the charge of assaulting his wife with intent to k:ll. Carr, who is about twenty- four years old and a driver on the Belt Line, has been separated from his wife for some time. Last night about the time Mrs. Carr was retiring her husband called at the house, No. 326 3% street northeast, and knocking on the door was admitted by his wife. He asked to see their baby and Mrs. Carr declined to go upstairs and bring it down because it was asleep. Some words passed between the two, when Carr pulled out a 32-caliber revolver and fired a shot at his wife. Meanwhile Mrs. Carr saw what her hus- band was about to do and started to run. She was not quite quick enough to escape all injury, for the ball from the weapon entered her right arm and inflicted a pain- ful but not necessarily dangerous wound. As soon as he had committed the act Carr made his esdfipe from the house. The report of the weapon caused a big crowd to assemble, and he was seized by several men and held until Sergeant Jordan of the ninth precinct came up. Carr was then sent to the station and locked up. Mrs. Carr’s wound was attended to at the Providence Hospital, but she later returned home. The weapon was found by Sergeant Jordan a short distance from Mrs. Carr's home, where Carr had thrown it. ——.__ Kicked Over a Rival's Stand. Samuel Kendall was fined $5 today by Judge Scott for kicking over the jewelry stand of Aaron Goldman, at the corner of Louisiana avenue and 7th street, yesterday afgernoon. It was stated that the trouble was the outcome of a quarrel between the two men which began last month at a Vir- ginia fair, at which time Goldman prevent- ed Kendall from selling jewelry there, and for which Kendall threatened to get even. A second complaint—profanity—was lodged against Kendall by United States Marshal Wilson, but as the latter did not appear to press the charge it was dismissed. —>__. Serious Outlook for 8. R.

SPEAK-EASIES DENOUNCED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GAITHERSBURG, Md., August 9, 1897. The adjourned quarterly meeting of the Montgomery County Anti-Saloon League was held here in the M. E. Church South today. Representatives from throughout the entire county from religious and tem- perance organizations were present in larger numbers then at any previous meeting, in- dicating a steady growth of and interest in the league and its efforts to suppress the speakeasies. ‘The fact that all parties have made their tickets for the fall election,and that today’s meeting so closely followed the republican county convention of Thursday, led many to believe that this meeting was to ascer- tain the position of each candidate on the tickets for the general assembly, and deep- ened its interest. The executive committee was in secret session at noon, and while it was ascertained that the candidates’ posi- tions on the local option question were a subject of discussion, just what official ac- tion, if any, it was decided to take cou not be ascertained officially, as the mem- bers would divulge no information. But from the sentiments to be heard on every hand it was apparent that the candidates would be questioned as regards their prin- ciples. Mr. T. J. Owens opened the morning ses- sion at 11 o'clock. Mr. A. N. Canfield of the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia was introduced, and his address was so highly appreciated that a resolu- tien that it be put in shape for publication and distribution was unanimously adopted. It gave a practical review of the inception and success of the movement. Speakeasics Numerous. Rey. J. T. Marshall of Kensington, in his address, gave his experience with the speakeasies in Wheaton and Bethesda dis- tricts, and kespoke the support of the best people of his vicinity for the league. A committee on credentials was appoint- ed, consisting of Harry C. Weeks, J. W. Horner, Wm. W. Moore, M. B. Montgom- ery and C. Scott Duvall. Prof. G. W. Walker directed lively music by a select choir, with Mrs. R. P. W. Jenes organist. Recest was taken for lunch, which was served by the ladies in the grove adjoin- ing the church. Nine-Year-Old Boys Drank. At the afternoon session Rev. Henry P. West of Ashton was the first speaker. He was followed by the Rev. Wm. Melville of Hyattsville. He had observed boys of nine years drunk on the roadsides in Colesville district, adjacent to the speak-easies he fcund there. : Mr. Charles W. Prettyman of the Rock- ville bar in his address on “Observance of Law” traced the fall of the Roman em- pire to disregard for the law, and express. ed himself as believing that it was nece sary in this courty to so awaken public sentiment as every man, particularly those who served as jurors at the Rockville court, would consider it as great a crime to sell liquor as for him to steal his neigh- ber’s pocket book. At every term of court he witnessed jurors perjure themselves. His address led to many inquiries as io the manner cf drawing the jurors and the possibility of securing better jurors. An Interesting Record. The height of interest in the day’s pro- ceedings was reached when Rev. L. L. Lloyd produced his results of an investiga- tion into the enforcement of the local op- tion law by the county court. His fig- ures, taken from the court record, demon- starte that for ten years back there has been a steady improvement in the number of convictions, amounts of fines imposed and_their collection. Arguments in favor of high license that the enforcement of the law was a financial incubus upon the county were contradicted, in that the in- come from the fines actually paid averages more than $90 per year, while with high license the entire revenue would go to the state. Further investigations are to be pursued by the league, and it is very probable the statistics will be given to the tucal press for publication and issued by the league for circulation throughout the county. Miss Ella Lawrenson of Washington sang “He Leadeth Me.” Rey. E. W. Waiker and a quartet, with Mrs. John E. Clagett organist, interspersed the afternoon exercises with music. In addition to the very representative character of the audience in general it was noted that several delegations of col- ored people present manifested their syn pathy with the movement. Rev. P. B. Carroll of Rockville, one of the delegates present, was of opinion that his people were equally interested with their white brethren, and he will solicit their organ- ization and co-operation. ———— TO SUCCEED SENATOR GORMAN. John F. Hurst's Friends Announce His Candidacy Today. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., August 10.—John F. Hurst is today announced by certain prom- inent democrats as a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Arthur P. Gorman in case the withdrawal of the latter from the contest should be final. Mr. Hurst is one of the wealthiest mer- chants in Baltimore and was the demo- ractic cardidate for gpvernor at the last state election, when Governor Lowndes was elected. He is in favor of a gold standard. Senator George L. Wellington was in town today, and passed the morning in conference with the republican city lead- ers. The Senator is particularly interested in the contest of Mr. Theodore Marburg for mayor and also in the make-up of the legislative ticket, as the Marburg interests are supposed to be identified with Gover- nor Lowndes’ candidacy for the United States Senate. The senator looked unusually well and said that he never was better in his life. He attributed his recent illness to the on- slaught of the offite seekers, and will take precautions to prevent a recurrence of the evil. He says he expects to secure the ap- pointment of Dr. Tuck as collector of in- ternal revenue. He will go to Ocean City in a few days Seon vii Seb ee after the re- st convention, that place the 26th inst. pe ae fie -_ ———>—_. CONVENTION MAY SPLIT.

Now comes the traveling nursery to take its place alongside the barber shop, bath room, etc., on our fast trains. The traveling nursery is to take up about the same amount of space as the private state rooms of the ordinary sleeping car. There will be a saving of space of several feet, how- ever, as the wide seats on the sides of the state room below the berths are not needed in the nursery, being replaced by ottomans and tiny easy chairs scattered over the floor. In this way any danger from sud- den starts or sharp curves is cbviated. As a further protection against injury to the little ones, the walls of the nursery are heavily padded and the floor thickly car- peted, so that bumps and bruises will be altogether avoided. At each end of the compartment and firmly secured are two cozy cots on which the smaller children lie and watch the games of the older ones. Each car containing the nursery attach- ment will carry a matron or nurse, who will be selected with a special reference to her ability to amuse and care for her little charges, and she will have at hanc supplies of milk, cookies and other edibles and drnkables dear to the infantile heart. She will also have charge of a medicine chest containing a full assortment of the simpler remedies for childish ailments. A miriature toy shop is another adjunct o! the traveling nursery, and it will contain everything from baby rattles to picture books and fairy tales. Nothing, in short, will be missing that would add to the com: fort or amusement of the young travelers. OCEAN TRAVEL. The Proper Fees to Be Given for Ser- vices on Board Ocean Steamships. From Scribner's, Fees are too indefinite to be regulated by rule,, but.certain amounts are customary at sea. The voyager, if he is not seasick, is dependent for comfort first on the table steward. To this man it seems to be the rule to give $2.50 for one or $ for two or thre: persons in a party, whether one is i uted B z i i : | i il i
