L Feakine, Genoral Agens o PRESIDENT PLEASED BY HAIG'S LETTER Deeply Impressed by Arms Parley Support of British Field Marshal. By the Assoclated Press.

Inventions Is Declared Harmful, Opposition to legislation to check- mate patent-grabbing activities by the Krupp interests of Germuny seeking control of American ordnance inventions was expressed yesterday by the American Engineering Council of the American Federated Engineer- ing Societies. The Stanley patent bill, embodying recommendations by Secretary of War Weeks, was described as likely to do more harm than good. The council suggested that the results sought by the legislation could be gained by proving in civil courts a priority by American inventors, thereby invalidating foreign patents. ‘The committee, headed by Edwin J. Prindle of New York, asserted that “it is very much opposed to the bill, believing it to involve immensely more harm than good,” adding: “This bill is stated by its introducer to have been introduced at the re- quest of the Secretary of War be- cause foreigners were patenting in- ventions relating to ordnance which had been made by American engin- eers and selling them to the Krupps and the latter were buying them so that we could not use our own in- ventions for our own defense. “The bill provides that any patents issued to persons who are not citi- zens of the United States shall be worked in this country within two years from the date of issue, under the penalty of having licenses grant-~ ed under them by our government to others than the ones who wished to ‘work them. “The bill introduces a dangerous innovation into our law, and has the possibility 0: tt&;-;uchlns conse- quences not intended by tho: drafted 1t el INDICTS DR. C. M. EMMONS. Grand Jury Charges Violations of Anti-Narcotic Act. Dr. Charles M.

One relates to the keeping of records of orders to druggists by which narcotics are secured and the ogl‘e!‘ tln th:hdlltll'lhllallon of the drugs otherwise an in e reguli - fesstonal business. e Dr. Emmons is sald to have failed to keep records which would be ayail- able to the inspectors and to have furnished narcotics to drug addigts. By means of the order blanks, the in- dictment states, Dr. Emmons secured large quantfties of drugs, which were not distributed in legitimate profes- slonal practice, it is claimed by the eovernment. | $ve$téd For ‘ JOBLESS AND FORMER SERVICE MEN TO GET PQSTAL XMAS JOBS The unemployed and former serv- ice men Wwill receive first consid- eration from City Postmaster Chance in filling jobs for tempo- rary work during Christmas mall rush. This course of action was de- cided upon today by the postmas- ter, and notification of his deter- mination sent to the Post Office Department. 5 In the past it has been customary to take on about 500 extra help- ers at Christmas time, generally recruited from high school stu- dents and similar young men.

Its last job was carrying the 240-ton steel span for the second arch from the Georgetown side, where the work was finished, to its desired po- sition between the second and third piers from the Virginia shore. The steel centering was success- fully installed Friday afternoon on the outgoing of the tide and formed the platform on which the permanent con* crete arch will be built. The floating trestle was then withdrawn and an- choredy& short distance to the east- ward. During the night the center barge of the three on which the frame trestle was built sprang a leak and gradually the entire structure sank to the bottom, completely submerging the barges and about twenty feet of the frame superstructure. The barges had a draft of about six feet. The/river bed is perfectly flat at that point and the big structure rests squarely upright on the bottom. Divers are at work on it today and it is predicted by the engineers that it will be raised and moved away from substitute. where it is served. Menus and at the New Ebbitt. e cuisine served.

STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1921 the bridge in a short time. The wreck Is not in the line of navigation nor does it interfere in any way with the Progress of work on the bridge. The only explanation offered for the sinking of the barges was that some of the seams had been opened grad- ually by long exposure and water seeped in after the day's work was over and the workmen had gone home. In addition to tne large timbers forming the trestle, the barges were heavily' weighted with steel beams holding them together. Those in charge are congratulating themselves on the fact that the structure did not go out of commission until after it had completed the installation of the steel centering. Otherwise the accident would have caused a serious delay in the prosecution of the work on the bridge. e An ounce of fire prevention is bhet- ter than a gallon of fire extinguisher.
