ALL At DAGGERS' POINTS
Photographers Allege That Mar
caau Has Infringed a
Patent.
Attorney Miller Says Marceau Makes
Bas. Relief Photos, Violating
Taber's Rights.

Greek has met Greek and battle royal
was the result. Now photographers meets
photographer and the end is not yet.
Taber the well-known photographer,
has filed suit against Theodore Marceau,
his equally prominent brother OF the
camera, alleging that the latter has in
fringed patent of his and praying for
his restraint from further Infringement
and suitable damages for the injury done
him already.
1t seems, according to the account given
by Attorney John H. Miller, Taber's coun-
sell, that some time in last March his client
was granted patent for what is termed
bas-relief photograph.
BY this process an ordinary photograph
is taken and the prominent features are
made to stand forth boldly in manner
somewhat statuesque.
Now" said Attorney Miller, "this was
agreat advance in photography, and much
credit is due Mr.. Tabor for its invention.
He at once began to use it here.
Mr.. Marceau, however, discovered q
process producing similar results, the use
of which, be thought, would not be an in
fringement on Mr.. Taber's patent. He
had large collection OF photographs
illustrating this process on exhibition at
the Mechanics Fair.
He has also used tho process In his

J. r. Rogers of the Imperials rode

rate. The last float in line was that OF the
San Francisco Road Club, representing the
Pony Express, a pretty arrangement:
There were several children IN contlnentai
costumes, two pages in full silver suits,
Indians, colored and Chinese cyclers, mon
KEYS on wheels and many rid RS in fam
tastic garb. There was in line mum ber
of cycles fitted up as boats with full sail.

flatcar, had streamer on which was
painted "This train carries bicycles free"
Still another design on wheels on which
there was coffin bore these words, KILLED

pavement"
The mounted police had great deal of
difficulty on Market street in keeping the
crowd back far enough to enable the
paraders to proceed. As soon as the off,
GERS drove back one section of people and
rode on the crowd pressed forward and in
that way interfered with the paraders.
On the line OF march a number of the
wheels broke down and had to be with
drawn, but none of the riders were in
jured. At several points along the line
there were displays of red fire and from
several points fireworks were set off.

Duty on Imported R,es.

The long controversy In the Federal courts
between importers and the United Statea Gov
ernment concerning tho proper rate of duty on
imported "Patna" rice has resulted In a de-
cision by Judge Wheeler OF the United States
Circuit Court in favor of the Government,
represented in the particular suit at issue by
Assistant United States District Attorney
Horny c. Platt The importation WAS mnde by
Dan ramaRe's Sons of this city after the Wi,
son tariff act OF 1894. This bill altered the rice
paragraph in tho act of 1890, and defined un-
cleaned rice as rice free of outer hull and still
having the inner cuticle on. The rice IN CON
troversy was free OF outer hull and also had
the inner cuticle taken of. The Government
claimed that the paragraph OF 1904 was in
tended to cover all imported rico In any and
every condit tion and that The rice in controversy
was cleaned rice within the meaning OF the
statute. The importers claimed that IL was not
the cleaned rice OF commerce. The court held
that the specific description OF rice In the act
OF 1894 was intended To cover all imported
rice. ana that the commercial understand ing
as to rice must give way to the statutory detni-
ton.

S. ]. RAILROAD FIGHT.
Electric Railroads Injunction Case Up for
Argument.

Argument on a motion to continue an injunc-
tion obtained by the Staten Island Electric
Railroad Company to restrain the Rnpid Iran
sit Ferry Company from discriminating against
the passengers OF the railroad company In the
matter OF fares was heard yesterday by Justice
TruaX of the supreme Court
The electric railroad alleges the existence of
an agreement between that road. the ferry com
pRny. and the Rapid Transit Railroad Com
pany. under the terms Of which the passengers
on both of the railroads should be carried to
New York by the ferry company ;or the same
rates Of fare. Tho plaintiffs alleGe that the day
before they began business they were notified
by the ferry company that passengers OF the
ferriage to New York. while the passengers on
the Rapid Transit Railroad would pay only five.
Then the plaintiffs got out their cinporary in
junction against this discrimination. and they
further set up that the ferry company. to make
this injunction void. charged all passengers
from both railroads ten cents each. but that the
Rapid Transit RRiroal carried Its pas- -engers
on staten Island for nothing to the ferry.
Gen. Tracy. representing the ferry company,
admitted the existence of the contract by which
tho passengers from both railroads should be
carried for the same rate OF fare to New York BY
ferry but said that there WAS agreement
between the railroads by which they should
charge an equal rate of fare over their roads.
He said that the temporary injunction was pre-
mature, and that no action could lie maintained
In equity in anticipation OF u breach OF contract.
Decision was reserved.

Intellectual Attempts to Rescue n ManWhose
Boat Had Overturned.

When the West Shore ferryboat Newburgh.
on her way from Weehawken TO this city about
4:30 A. NJ. yesterday, got opposite Thirteenth
street, a man was seen sitting bolt upright
tho keel OF an overturned rowboat. The man
called fcebly for assistance. and said his hoat
had sprung a leak. Herman Etzol and james
Higgins. two deck hands. threw the man n rope.
1t fell over the boat but the man made no effort
to get 1t. Higgins then started to swim for him.
He tied n line to himself but II proved too short
ana permitted him TO get only within three feet
OF the boat.
He called to the man to jump to him. but the
man made move. When pulled back Hig-
gins was almost spcechleSs with the cold. Az
other attempt was then made to save the man.
Etaol cast u line squareiy over the boat. aud
this time the man grabbed it. He was hauled
In slowly to the terryboats; his own boat disap-
attempted to haul him up. he was evidently too
benumbed to keep hold OF the rope. With cry
he disappeared in tho water. Capt. Fruntz
kept the ferry boat near the spot for some time
but the man did not reappear. The police think
the man may have been a river thief. as they
are at u loss otherwise TO account for his being
