An Imnortant Te1enhone Case.

There is an interesting question pend
ing between the government and the Bell
Telephone Company as to the formers right
to use instruments that are alleged to be
infringements ON Prof. Bells patent. The
government necessarily uses a number of
telephones, not only for the transaction of
ordinary business from office to office here
in Washington, butt on the seacoast be-
tween the Signal Service and the life saw
ing stations, and for militrry purposes i'm
the field. At present the most important
use to which telephones are put by the
government is ON the seacoast. There
they connect the life saving stations with
the telegraph system of the Signal Service
which has been established along the coast,
and by means of which aid from the
nearest ports, such as wrecking boats and
men, is obtained. In war the field tele-
phone will play an important part in
sending messages from corps to corps
and from division to division. The instru-
ments used by the service are made for
heavy and for field work, and are not the
Bell telephones. The old ones were of
the Gray, Phelps and Edison patents, but
a Sergeant of the corps, AdOlph Eccard
has discovered and patented an instru-
ment that is better than any that has
yet been made for the work of the Signal
corps. The Bell Telephone Company, how
ever, claims that the Eccard telephone
is an infringement, and insists that it
shall furnish the government with all the
telephones Used by the Signal Service, or
by any other bureau or department. The
Signal Service is willing to pay the Bell
Company for all that it has not purchased
from the owners Of the Gray patent, but
it objects to destroying the Eccard instru-
ments, or stopping their manufacture.
Moreover, the Germans and French have
invented excellent instruments for mill
tary uses, and the Signal Service may
wish to avail itself of these. The Bell
Company insists, however, that none but
its own instruments shall be used, no
matter how much the public service shall
be injured by giving up instruments that
have been found to be what the govern
ment wants in the field and at the life
saving stations.
