Decision of the Supreme Court In Fa-
vor of the Bell Company.
statutes PATENT STANDS.
Sufficient. Evidence of Fraud “’as Not
Showné—The Dela-y Hold to Be the
Fault of the Government—A Most _
Bitterly Contested Suit.
Washington, May 11.——The Bell Tele-
phone company won, the case brought
against it by the United States to an-
nul the last Berliner patent. This de-
cision has the effect of continuing the
control of the modern telephone by the
Bell company for 17 years from the
date of the last patent, which was
granted in 1891.
The government asked to have the
! patent of 1891 set aside on the ground
, that the delay of 13 years in the patent
office was fraudulent and through the
fault of the telephone company and
that the patent issued in 1880 covered
'.3 ' the same ground on which the new pat-
' ; 5 ent was applied for in 1891.
in
. i Brewer, held that there was no evidence
" ‘ of corruption or undue influence exer—
E cised over the patent office by the tele-
: phone company and that there was no
ms gum screens-
The court,
its opinion, delivered by Justice
evidence that the delay in granting the
patent had been brought about by the
It held that whatever de—
fault of the patent office, and by no
fault of the company.
Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion. Justices Gray and Brown, it
was announced, took no part in the
case, presumably because they were in-
terested. .
’The court held that in order to set
aside a patent the government must
establish grounds of belief as clear and
satisfactory as it would to set aside a
land patent. All other allegatiOns of
the government besides that of delay
were overruled.
Enorznous Interests Involved.
This decision by the supreme court
sustains the lower courts. This case
has attracted wide attention because of
the extensive interests involved in its
settlement, and the opinion of the court
has been anxiously awaited. The suit,
it was claimed, involved the practical
control of the art of telephoning. It
originated in a charge of collusion in
the patent office and was brought to
obtain the repeal and cancellation of.
letters patent of the United States No.
463,569, dated Nov. 17, 1891, granted to
the American Bell Telephone company
as assignee of Emile Berlinen, the al-
leged inventor. The repeal and can-
cellation of the patent were sought up-
on the ground that the application for
it, while filed in 1877, was not issued
until 1891.
This delay was charged to be unnec-
essary and improper on the part of the
patent office and the Bell Telephone
company, which, as Berliner’s assignee,
controlled the application. It was as-
serted that the company had acqui—
esced in and promoted the delay for
their own interest, thus defrauding the
public of its rights.
It was claim-ed that the Berliner pat—
ent practically controls telephony, as it
has to do with both the transmission
and receipt of sound. and that the delay
thus secured until 1891 operated to pro-
long the control for 15 years beyond
the time of‘the expiration of the Bell
patent.
A Hard Fought Case.
It was also asserted that the patent
was granted by the commissioner of
patents without authority of law, and
that it was for the same invention for
which a patent had been granted in 1880
and that the principle was therefore not
new. ‘
The suit originated
States circuit court for the district of
Massachusetts, where it was decided in
favor of the United States. Upon ap-
peal to the circuit court of appeals for
the first circuit, this decision was re—
versed and the contentions of the Ber-
liner claimants upheld. From this
opinion the United States appealed to
the supreme court.

It is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up
very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home news-
paper about some incident occurring- in
San Francisco or Iowa, but the circum—
stances are entirely different when it
refers to some one right here at home,
friends and neighbors, people you
know, Whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is the
kind of evidence at the back of Doan’s
Kidney Pills—home statements by
home people, and the astonishing local
work they have been doing, has caused
more talk among our citizens than the
doings of any other modern wonder.
Read the following.
l‘v’lr. C. A. Owens, No. 190 Main Street
is a painter and a paper hanger by
trade. Like the majority of men who
follow this occupation he is troubled
with disordered kidneys. The requis-
ites to his calling benziue, turpentine,
and other dryers excite and inflame
those organs and late in the fall he
found himself suffering from a return
of the old complaint. ,Mrs. Owens
ever mindful of her husband’s welfare,
procured for him a box of Doan’s Kid
ney Pills at Hale's drug store and he
used them. Mrs. Owens says, “My
husband has been greatly benefited by
the use of Doan-‘s Kidney Pills: Con-
stant working in white lead and mixing
paint has brought on kidney trouble
and a severe headache. Relief in any
form is always welcome and we are
pleased to recommend Doau’s Kidney
Pills for what they have done.

THE DEATH *0? DR. RUIZ. V I.
Commissioner Calhoun Starts For Havana
to Investigate the Matter.
Washington, May 10.—V~f. J. Calhoun
of Illinois, special counsel for the Unit-
ed States government in the Ruiz case.
has left \Vashington for Tampa, where
he will take the steamer for Havana.
He was accompanied by, Mr. Fishback,
who-goes in the capacity of his secre-
tary. Mr. Calhoun expects to spend a.
day or two after his arrival in Havana
in consultation with Consul General
Lee before undertaking the formal be-
ginning of the inquiry. He says that
his functions are strictly limited to the
investigation of the conditionslunder
which Dr. Ruiz met his death in the
jail at Guanabacoa. The proceedings
are not to be in the nature of a legal
trial, for, so far at least, there is no ac-
cused person. They will be rather in
xthe line of a close and thorough inves—
tigation, which is to be held with the
consent of and by the invitation of the
Spanish government. and the United
States will be, represented by special
counsel, also by its invitation, in order
to offer every assurance that the
proceedings are fair and complete. It
is expected that the investigation will
be initiated by the Spanish authorities
just as soon as Mr. Calhoun indicates
that he is ready to begin; As the death
of Dr. Ruiz took place in “the jail at
Guanabacoa, 'a suburb within the cor-
porate limits of Havana, it will not be
necessary to go outside of, the city to
make the inquiry. "
No official notice has been had from’
Consul General Lee that the'Compe-ti—
tor cases have been transferred to the
civil courts, but assurances have been
had that Melton. the newspaper corre-
sprndent, will at least be treated with
all the consideration that his noncom-
batant connection with the expedition
warrants. As for the other American
prisoners. all of the privileges guaran-
teed by treaty are to be extended.
The state department has taken the
position that the. crew of the ill fated
Competitor, which was an American
vessel, are to be held for all legal pur-
poses to be American citizens. This:
covers not only the case of Leavitt, who
is set down in the‘records as a British
subject, but also Alfred Laborde. the
captain of the vessel. as to whose na-
tivity or naturalization some doubt has
arisen, but who, as sailing under the
