Tho Society Closed Its Annual Session Yes.
terday-Onicers Elected.
The Society Of Economic EntomoIocists
closed its annual session yesterday after a sue
cessful meeting OF two days. Officers were
elected rs follows: DR.. j. A. Lintner.
state entomologist Of New York, president;
Prof. S. A. Forbes, state ontomoiogist Of Hi
nois, first vice president;J. H. Comstock, pro-
lessor of entomology in Cornell University,
second vice president, and Prof. F. NJ. Webster
Of Ohio State University, secretary. The addi-
tional new members elected were Prof G. n.
Hudson Of New York, Prof. b. A. Morgan of
Louisiana, Prof B. p. Mann, Washington, d. c.,
and Miss NJ. Z. AIurtfeld, Missouri
The paper which was read yesterday. as
stated in The STAR, by Prof. c. V. Riley on
Government Work versus the Patent Office"
was based on patent recently obtained by
three parties in California for the treatment OF
trees by hydrocyanic acid gas for the destruc-
ton OF scale insects and other insects that in
juriously affect them. Prof. Riley reviewed at
length the efforts Of the department in this
line OF investigation, and showed conclusiyely
that this gas treatment had originated with and
been perfected by one OF the agents of the
division Of entomology, who had, in fact, for
the past five years, been carrying on O series
of experiments in this particular line under
Prof. Riley's direction; that no sooner had
the treatment come to be recognized as OF the
greatest utility and perfected so that it was
cheap and available to all needing to use it
than application was mado by tho parties in
question, and in spite Of protest from Assist
ant Secretary Willis OF the Department OF
Agriculture, pending the application, patent
was finally granted. The facb that the process
has been fully described and recorded in Off
ciai reports from the Department Of Agricul-
ture did not influence the patent Office. So val
liable il this treatment considered that an effort
has been made in southern California to SUBJ
| scribe the sum OF Sl0, 600 to buy the right from
the patentees. Prof. Riley remarked that he
had no hesitation in advising the orange grC ~
ers to pay no heed to the claims made by the
patentees, and that 1t will be far safer and
wiser to combine to oppose them il suit il
brought than to subscribe to give them an un-
| deserved and valuable royalty. He said: Il
have had experience OF this kind before, and in

no instance thatI now recall have the patentees,
under like circumstance, been able to enforce
their claims in tho courts. In point Of fact the
patent is invalid and the certificate 10 nothing
priority of invention, and it Is greatly to be re-
GREETED that, through whatever legal techni-
cality or la1ity in the patent Office, it should
ever have been granted"
Prof. Riley mentioned other cases of this
kind where. after years Of labor and large ex-
penditure on the part Of the Department of
Agriculture, valuable results had been OBJ
tanned. In some cases they took the form of
mechanisms, which were described and figured
in the official reports. He said:
There is nothing more discouraging to an
officer OF the government engaged in original
investigations with view to benefiting the
public than the efforts Of various private in
dividuals to appropriate the results of which
the foregoing case is an example. l have been
engaged now for nearly quarter of century
either as state or government officer in inves-
LEGATIONS, having for their object in the main
the protection of plants and domestic animals
from the attacks Of injurious insects. Either
directly or with the aid of assistants these in
designations have resulted in some important
discoveries of universal application, and
l can say with pride that, though often
urged to take personal advantage of such dis
coveries, have in no single instance accepted
fee for information given or received dollar
from any application of these discoveries even
where others have reaped fortunes. As a sails
ried officer my duty was plain and make the
statement without boastfulness and simply to
emphasize the discouraging fact that in every
instance where the benefit to the public has
been great, either the honor has been contested
by private parties or else means have been
taken by private individuals to control through
patent or otherwise the discoveries for their
personal ends. 1t seems to me that on this
account the patent Office should be extremely
careful in considering applications for patents
for objects which the government is already
endeayoring to accomplish, to ascertain fully
what the government has DONE as any other
course will tend to pervert, discourage and
neutralize oil honest effort made by other de-
partments Of the government for the public
good"
