EDISON AND HIS PATENTS.
He Says That They Have Been Of No Prof
to Him in America.


to Him in America.
New YORK. March 2s.-Dispatches from
Washington intimate that the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Huber patent case prac-
tically destroys Edison's quadruplex telegraph
patent. Mr.. Edison said last nigh. that he be =
lieved that the American patents on the quad
ruplex had already expired.
He said: "The man who framed the law
making American patents expire when the
prior foreign patents expire was an Andesian,
a Himalayan jackass.
I've never made any money on any patents
except in England. 1t is supposed that the
patent laws were made for the benefit Of in
ventors, but there is not one inventor in "a
thousand that has any interest in the final deci-
sion of the courts.
was perfectly Indifferent to the decision of
the incandescent lamp case II it was the prac-
tice OF the courts to let the inventor have the
delay and not the pirates he would get some
recompense for his time and labor. Amer
lean inventors are afraid to apply for
patents abroad, because the lapse of time
in granting patent by govern
ment is SO great that when they do finally
grant it the foreign patent has expired. and
under the law the American patent expires with
1t. If an inventor happens to put something
on the market that is of real worth and the
pirate sees it the first thing the inventor knows
he has a powerful rival, which threatens to en-
gulf him at the start
The pirate claims the invention, so does the
real inventor. but it is the latter who has to
prove his right. and as it takes long while to
even prepare his case. he is disheartened from
the beginning. The capitalists draw on the
inventors snare in the invention to pay the ex-
penses of the litigation, and as all the odds are
against him the inventor has little chance.
There thousands of bright men in this
country today who are simply squeiched be-
cause of this absurd law
As to the Bell Telephone Company's patents,
Mr. Richard n. Dyer. counsel for the General
Electric Company. said: There is only one
point left and that the Supreme Court is ex-
pected to decide early next term. 1t is whether
the prier foreign patent which limits the United
States patent should be prior to the date of is
| sue of the United States patent or prior to
the filing of the application. The former was
the generally accepted view until it was cast in
doubt by recent decisions of the Supreme
Court Should the Supreme Court de-
eide that the foreign patent must
be granted prior to the applica-
ton for the United States patent the various
Edison patents referred TO in the dispatch and
many other patents will become entirely indie
pendent OF the foreign patents and will run for
full terms OF seventeen years.

ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRES.
The attorney for the District, in an opinion
on the request of the United States Electric
Lighting Company for permission to lay addi-
tional underground wires. holds that the Com
missioners have the power to authorize the ad-
ditional construction applied for by the
company. He says in support Of his opinion
that the proviso contained in the statute relat-
ing to telegraph and telephone service recog-
niZes a continuing power in the Commissioners
to grant such permits.
THE OTHER SIDE WANT A HEARING.
A committee composed of Messrs. Beyer,
Wright, Sweeny and Schroth. representing the
farmers and truck gardeners doing business at
the Center Market, called upon the Commission
ers this afternoon for the purpose OF
arranging day when they could appear before
the board and argue the question Of permitting
the Market Company to take charge of the
cleaning of the space occupied by them on the
south side OF D street between eth and 18th

paid by the consumers upon each farmer

SAN Francisco, March 2s-Rupert Schmid,
the sculptor. of this city. has been awarded the
contract to model a bronze group Of figures rep
resentlng the historic Virginia scene wherein the
Indian maiden Pocahontas saved the life of Capt.
John Smith. The expense will be Sl5O 900 and
it will be betrayed from fund raised by con-
tributions solely from the Smith family in Vir-
ginia and Nebraska. descendant OF
the original John Smith has been
the promoter of this unique ar
tistic enterprise. Some time since he asked
for designs from leading sculptors Of the United
States. and that Of the San Francisco artist has
just been accepted. 1t is only q coincidence
that the sculptor's name is Schmid or Smith.
The design Is a slight departure from the
popular conception of the memorable scene in
that it presents but three figures, with Pow

club upon the PROSTATE Smiths head. model

pared to be placed in the Nebraska building at

I he Commissioners Counseled to Their
Action Under the Liquor Law.
As stated in yesterdays STAR the Commits
sioners requested the attorney for the District
TO advise them as to their powers in permitting
applicants for licenses under the new Law to
keep their places Of business opea until
licenses have been granted or refused by the
excise board. both to cases where applica-
tons were made to the Commissioners and
watch were not approved prior to the Sd day Of
March. 1893, and as to new cases brought for
the first time to the attention of the excise
board.
The following opinion was received today in
connection with the above: The question IS
TO the proper meaning of section IL has just
been argued pro and con and construed by
Judge Miller in the late case OF the District
against Bush. He holds that section IL applies
only TO licenses under the act Of March 5, 1898.
That the words. That all applicants who have
had license during the preceding year
snail apply for q renewal Of sucn license
on or before November l Of each Ii
cense year, and shall be permitted 10
continue business until license shall be granted
or refused by the excise board includes APP
plicants only who have taken out license during
the preceding year under the act and from the
date Of the act. That all other persons apply
de novo, and that all persons holding licenses
under the law of 1871 stand on the same basis
precisely as il they had no license at all from
March 3, 1898. This the view taken by the
attorney for the District in the Bush case, and
Is no doubt the law defined in the authori-
ties upon this subject"
