TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Made b. the United States Supreme
Court In Patent Cases.

Made b. the United States Supreme
Court in Patent Cases.
Two patent decisions Of importance were
rendered In the Supreme Court of the
United States today-one in the case Of the
Cabinet Lock Company vs. the Eagle Lock
Company, appealed from the United States
circuit court for Connecticut. and the other
In the cases of ]. H. Gordon ct al. versus
B. H. Worder ct al. four cases in all. ap-
pealed from the circuit court for the south
ern district Of Ohio.
Justice jackson deliy cred the opinion In
the first case, which involved alleged in
fringement Of two patents issued to H. l..
Spiegel for improvements in cabinet LOCKE
one reissue. and one original. The court
below held that the reissue was void. be-
cause 1t derarted from the claims Of the
was void for want Of novelty in the device,
having been anticipated. There was there
fore no infringement by the Eagle Lock
Company. Judgment was affirmed.
In the other case the point involved was
alleged infringement by Worder and others
of a patent Of Gordon's for automatically
binding sheaves of grain on harvesters.
The court below held that there was no in
fringment by the defendants whose in
vention for accomplishing the same pur-
pose as complainants differed essentially
in the device employed This judgment was
affirmed in an opinion delivered by Justice
Shiras.
These cases had been on the docket of
the Supreme Court for several years and
were argued at this term.

There Will Be No Change In Their
Basis.

basis.
There will be no change in the basis Of
water main assessments IL the Commits
sioners have anything to do with it.
During the latter part Of last September
a bill was introduced in Congress provid-
ing that hereafter assessments for laying
water mains in the District Of Columbia
shall be at the rate Of Los per linear front
foot against all lots or land abutting upon
the street, road or alley in which a water
main shall be laid. 1t was also provided
in the bill that no lot shall be taxed twice,
and that corner lots shall be taxed only on
their front with a depth Of not exceeding
100 feet. and excess Of the other front over
100 feet shall be subject to the above rate
Of assessment.
When this bill came before the Commits
sioners for report they sent it to Capt
Derby, who has charge of the water de-
partment. for his views. This is what the
captain reported back:
The adoption of the inclosed bill would
undoubtedly result in a reduction Of the
revenue OF the water department The ex-
listing system has held for many years, and
Is generally satisfactory. This proposed
change has been thoroughly discussed in
the office Of the Engineer Commissioner for
some years past. and has not been approved
II am of the opinion that there is no good
reason for recommending q change now !;
the water rates Of the District of Columbia
are not excessive, but on the contrary are
believed to be exceedingly low"
Upon this statement Capt. Powell based
his report, which was unanimously ap-
proved by the Commissioners, and which is
as follows:
I have carefully examined this matter,
and do not see any good reason for chang
ing the basis of the water main assessment
now in force. / move that the Commission
ers be recommended against the passage Of
the BILL"

Tne new YORK to BE ADDED to the
Fleet There.
Secretary Herbert has practically con-
frmed the report that the crack cruiser
New York Is to be added to the American
heet in Brazilian waters. The Secretary
said that the order to fit the cruiser New
York for immediate Sea duty did not mean
necessarily that she was to be sent to Rio
Janeiro He said that the order to have her
In readiness for a voyage was given several
days ago; that 1t was issued merely that
the department might be able to dispatch
q vessel to any desired destination in case
necessity arose for dispatching one a.:
once; and that such an order was not un-
usual In the routine OF the department
As Rio is the only place specially in need
OF the services of a war ship at the pres
ent time 1t Is a natural assumption that
Rio Is the destination that the department
has In contemplation for the New York.
Ali her officers on leave have been recalled
and the work Of preparing the vessel for
a long cruise has been expedited as much
as possible Capt. Philip, her commander,
has had several conferences with the Secre-
tary OF the Navy within the past few days
and expresses the opinion that the vessel
will be ready for sea by tomorrow. The con-
centratfon of a strong feet Of war ships at
the Brazilian capital Is regarded as an fndi-
cation Of the purpose of the administration
to enforce the principles Of the Monroe
doctrine in case 1t should be found that
European nations are taking too active an
interest in the settlement OF the present
civil troubles in Brazil with the ultimate
purpose Of assisting in the downfall Of the
republic and the restoration of the monar-
chical form of government. This policy
has been urged upon the administration by
people in all parts of the country without
regard TO politics and recent events seem
to indicate that 1t has been adopted. This
means that foreigners are to keep hands
Off, Brazil and that any interference in be-
half of the insurgents will be resented by
the United States.

REDUCTIONS AND PROMOTIONS
Cause Tears and Smiles Among tn,
Pension once Clerks.

There were tears and smiles in the pen
sion office this forenoon. Sixty reductions
and promotions took place There were
walls Of lamentation and shouts Of Joy
Thirty were reduced and thirty were pro-
NOTED Those reduced bore their trial with
fortitude. The changes came suddenly
Nobody outside of very high official circles
expected it. No names are to be had. The
reporter for The Star first applied to Acting
formation and was referred to the appoint
ment clerk of the Department Of the in
terror. Mr.. .Holcombe told The Star man
that II he would return at o'clock, the list
should be forthcoming. Two o'clock came
and SO did the reporter. During that time
the appointment clerk had been in CONSUL
tation with other officials Of the DEPART
ment and 1t was concluded that the list CT
victims and lucky ones should not be made
public.
The case Of r. M. Hall. convicted Of the
murder Of James Yates, a white man, in
the Choctaw nation, was different. In the
course Of his argument, the District attor-
ney made use Of language referring to a
previous trial Of Hall for the murder of a
negro in Mississippi, and his acquittal
which the Supreme Court of the United
States, through Justice Gray, said consti-
official conduct which deserved rebuke by
the court and the failure Of the Judge to
sustain the exception Of prisoners coun-
sci to the language used constituted such
an error as demanded a new trial. The
Judgment of the court was therefore, over
ruled. and a new trial granted the de-
