MISSING PATENT COUPONS.
Tho Theft of About $500 Worth OF
Rcdeemabie Paper and Its Sale by

The Theft OF About $500 Worth OF
Rcdeemabie Paper and Its Sale by
Attorneys.
A scandal which is exciting considerable
interest among patent attorneys and Others
is being Investigated by the patent office,
and some sensational developments are
looked for. The scandal was developed by
the suspicious actions OF well-known pat
emit attorney, and already q messenger in
the department has been dismissed on sus-
picon Of being implicated. The officials
at the patent office are very reticent about
the subject, although they do not deny
that the messenger was dismissed or that
further steps will be taken. They urge
as cause for keeping it secret the diff
Guilty in tracing tho matter out If it were
published, but the matter is already pub
lie property SO far as possible accomplices
are concerned.
The patent office issues specification
coupons for the use Of patent attorneys in
securing patent drawings or specifca-
tions. These coupons are sold in blocks
and are worth 10 cents each. When OBJ
tanned singly the specifications are sold
at % cents apiece The coupons are good
for 10 cents in business houses near the
patent Office. and one OF Thorn Will go as
| far for drink or q lunch as SO much
money, for they are redeemed at their par
value by the department. Sometimes the
attorneys buy a great quantity of Thorn
and keep them on hand. Clients who
order copies Of specifications receive what
they desire in the filing of coupon with
their address on it.
THE COUPONS ARE SOLD
In blocks of hundred each, and are in
charge of the chief clerk or issuing
division.
About week ago well-known attor-
ney went to several Of his professional
brethren and asked them to buy some of
these blocks. He said that he had con-
siderable quantity, having purchased
them on an order from a client for the
specifications for n whole class, but who
finally countermanded the order. Sew
eral of the attorneys purchased coupons.
The fact came to the ears of the patent
officials, but nothing was thought of il
until it was discovered that
$500 WORTH WERE MISSING.
Then an examination was made which
was followed by the dismissal of the mes.
senger.
