INTERESTING 10 MILLERs.
A Decision I'm a United States Court in
Their Favor.

Their Favor.
A decision has Just been rendered in the
United States Circuit Court at Chicago
by Judge Blodgett which concerns every
miller in the country using the modern
roller process OF manufacturing flour.
While the use of rolls is very old, dating
back half century in Europe, numberless
patents have been issued in the United
States covering special features OF con-
struction and adjustment.
Some time ago four of the leading manu-
facturers of roller-mills formed the Con-
solidated Roller-Mill Company, with head
quarters at Chicago, and pooled all their
patents to the number OF fifty or more.
They then commenced suits in the United
States courts against number of millers
and manufacturers. One OF these suits
was decided in their favor by Judge
Brown. of the Michigan Circurt Court, and
another against them at Indianapolis by
Judge Gresham. The patents on which
the Consolidated Company principally re.
lied were those of w. ID. Gray, of Mil
waukee: U. II. 0dell. and II. Birkholz.
Judge Blodgett has now decided in O
suit brought against the Barnard and Lees
Manufacturing Company. of Moline, H.,
that these patents can only be sustained
for such special devices as they cover, and
that the inventors entered the field at so
late day they are not entitled to have the
doctrine of equivalents enforced IN their
behalf. This decision relieves thousands
of millers from the fear Of suits for in
fringement.

am told. will be equipped with rolling stock

work will be speedily executed.

Douglas Green's Disgrace.
fNaw Work WOriil

When Douglas Green sailed for Europe
with Mrs. Alice Snell-McCrea he took with
him only the money he had in bank, or
rather the letters of credit he purchased
with that money. He made no attempt to
dispose of his seat in the Stock Exchange,
valued at about So. 600, or his real estate
or other property, consisting of stocks and
bonds. It is likely that the legal Mrs.
Green will secure divorce, unless Green
returns and permits his marriage with
Mrs. McCrea to be ennulled on the ground
of his insanity. THIS step on his part
would make necessary his incarceration in
q lunatic asylum, but would save him from
prison. His relatives will urge this course.
