WASHINGTON, Feb. q, 'sa
To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Permit me to correct an erroneous statement
made concerning the assistant cOmmissionershlp
OF patents. know whereof speak when say
that Gen. Marble has had nothing whatever to do
with the opposition to DR.. Dyrenrorth's confirna-
ton; that he has not inspired, counseled, advised
OF abetted it In any way. 1t is true that for rea-
sons which he deemed sufficient, and with the
hearty cooperation OF the Secretary, he recon-
nended another gentleman for the position; but,
Dr. Dyr"nforth having been nominated, that ended
the mitter with Gen. Marble, and he has been
content to let ii take its own course without any
attempt on his part to Influence the case before
the senate. NERITAS.

winning side, the buOyant side OF the industrial
problem for the well-to-do classes and the free
