ARGUING THE CASE
United States Against the Bell Tele-
phone Company in Supr'm, Court
HEAVY ARRAY OF COUNSEL
II Is An Important Matter. Which
Involves the Validity of the
Berliner Patent on the
Nlchrophone.

Washington, Nov. 9.-TAe case OF the
United States against the American
Bell Telephone company was argued
in the United States supreme court
to-day. In some respects the case 10
regarded as among the most important
before the court as II involves the
validity OF the Berliner patents, owned
by the Bell company. Attorney Cen
eral Harmon. Solicitor General Con-
rad and a number OF attorneys repre-
sentlng special interests appeared In
connection with the suit of the United
States. while the Bell company has a
heavy array Of counsel. including
Messrs. James j. Storey, James IL.
choate and Frederick =. Fish, The
Standard Telephone company Is repre-
sented by Gen. James Mcknight and
Myron Francis Hill. who have filed a
brief on two points in behalf OF the
government. II Is said decision In
favor OF the government would tend
to open the telephone to public use.
Owing to the Importance of the inter-
ests involved the court granted nine
hours for argument. which will con-
tlnue the case for about three days.
Judge II. s. Taylor or indianapolis
opened the argument to-day In behalf
Of the United States.
The suit began Fob. Q. 1898. when
the attorney general filed a bin In
equity against the American Bell Tele-
phone company and Emil Berliner,
asking for the annulment OF the pat
ent.. An alternative prayer was made
that II the patent was not declared
wholly null and void II should be re-
peated In part. as the court deemed
proper. The patent covers what Is
he. Lob N r.
ney generals bill set forth that the Dell
Telephone company designedly and
with intent TO try to prolong Its mo-
nopoly. delayed and prolonged the pen
dency of the application for more than
13 years after Its control OF the patent
The Bell company. In Its answer,
points out that the United States OIL
cials from the first have had entire
control of the application for patent
and an express denial Is made thai
there was any fraud, accident or mis-
take. The company maintained that II
bad not designedly delayed the issue
Of the patent with a view to extending
| its rights. II alleged that II there was
any slowness 1t was the act OF the
plaintiff itself. the United States. The
case was tried In the United states
circuit court for the district OF Massa'
chusetts, where the contentious or tht
| United States were sustained. The Bel
company appealed to the circuit cour,
OF appeals, where the preceding de-
cision was reversed on the ground that
there was no evidence Of dereliction ol
duty in the patent office and the bill n
equity OF the United States In equit,
was dismissed.
The case now comes before the SUI
preme court on an appeal by th'
| United States Of the decision OF th'
court OF appeals. The same points
| first presented as to delay are still fore
most and the arguments OF counsel to
day was directed mainly TO thes'
points.

KETCHAM and ELROD
How They ConSpirsd to Steal q
$4,000 EIEr,ss Ta,k'gs.
AN ALLEGED CONFESSION
One OF the Thieves Succeeded In
Getting ~ ost OF the Money From
his Partner. who browns
sorrow In strong Drink.

Louisville. Ky. Nov. 9-Soms sensa-
tional testimony was given before Judge
Barr this afternoon which revived the
story OF the theft OF $500 package from
the Adams Express company a few years
ago Before the arguments In the damage
suit OF Mrs. Eugenia Elrod against the
Adams Express company were begun tho
counsel for the express company intro
duced as evidence an alleged confession
made by Mrs. Minnie b, Ketcham, Charles
Hardins wife. In this connection she
stated her husband had told her that
Charlton Eirod got him the position with
tho express company with the UNDER
standing that they we're to steal at least
million dollars from the company.
Kotcham TOLD his wife. according to her
confession. that he was completely IN Ell
rods power and that Elrod threatened TO
have him returned 10 the Missouri peni-
tcntinry for an unexplred term II he did
not do as Elrod desired him. Under this
same threat, Elrod, Il Is alleged. would
fierce Hardin TO give up his salary as fast
as II was drawn, giving him back only
enough to live on. and that In amounts OF
81 and g Mt n tlmc.
Finally, according to Mrs. Ketchnm's
statement. Elrod's creditors pressed him
too hard and he told Hardin to take what
money he could get. Hardin came in one
morning with about 1900 and said that
he had stolen 81. 5.OO0 and had turned the
most OF II over TO Elrod. They went to
Cincinnati. where he gave Mrs. Braun. his
mother-in-law. t2.Oo0 with which she
bought house In Moreland. a suburb of
Chicago. They made their home there for
q while. having gotten from Elrod $1,000.
Then they Travelled over the country and
when he was finally arrested only small
part OF II was left. From time to time,
she says, Elroi had visited them and had
gotten back as much Of the money as
they would give him.
According 10 her confession this nag
ging by Elrod caused her husband to
spend the money and take to drinking.
| Before he was arrested he had given his
parents In Arkansas s2.O0o with which they
had purchased n home. II will be remem-
hcrod that Hardin was acquitted OF this
| robbery In Nashville. where he was taken

THE GOLD RESERVE.
Large Demand for Paper Money In Ex-
change for the Yellow Coin.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The reserves OF
the treasury are severely taxed to meet
the demand for paper notes or all de-
nominations In exchange for gold In
many cases the gold holders ask for
United States notes OF large denoh-
nations In exchange. The latter are es
valuable for reserve as Is gold. but they
express a willingness to accept Sher-
man notes II necessary, or silver certi-
ficates. II the government Is unable TO
furnish United states bonds. The de-
mand for large denominations is not
imperative. the principal thing being
to get paper money.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try tend 20 show that nearly all OF the
gold Withdrawn during the last sew
eral weeks was for the purpose Of
boarding, and now that the supposed
danger Is past the gold Is being offered
at the several sub-treasuries or Is be-
Ing deposited In banks and so Is find
ing It's way into the government cof-
fers. The rush of gold offers Is 50
great that In New York at least the
assistant treasurer would be compelled
to refuse gold until such time as he
v as able TO handle II. and In a number
~ instances currency has been shipped
from one sub-trcasury to another 10
rect the usual demands. The reserve
to-day passed the si20, ,OoO. 900 point and
the officials have no doubt that It will
reach a much higher figure before the
close OF the year. The increase In busi-
ness generally predicted. II is believed
will result In greatly Increased re-
ceipts from customs and from internal
revneue. 50 that the present treasury
deficit is likely to be reduced to some
extent before the Inauguration OF Nc
Kinley.

JONES At HIS HOME
The Chairman Is Given a Reception
by His Arkansas Friends.
SlLVER'S FIGHT NOT LOST
Latest Bulletins Give Kentucky to
Mckinley and wyoming to
Hryan-The Returns From
Parts of Montana.

Hope, Ark, Nov. "a public recep-
tion was rendered Senator James X.
Jones at the opera house in this place
this afternoon. The meeting was ar
ranged for the purpose OF allowing the
senator's friends and neighbors to
show their appreciation Of his work in
the recent campaign. People came into
town from all over Hampstead county
to welcome the senator and the little
opera house was literally packed.
After cordial greeting. Senator
Jones spoke for an hour or more on
the campaign and the obstacles that
had to be met. He said that the re-
suit was victory for the democratic
party. He said that while they had
lost the election they had not lost the
tight. The cause OF silver was strong
er to-day than 1t was when the cam
paign opened and victory was assured
In 1900. He paid a high tribute to
William j. Bryan, and said he had
made one Of the most wonderful fights
that had ever been made by any lead
er. He said that the large number of
comercial orders, placed previous TO
election day and contingent upon Nc
Kinley's election had been made use of
In influencing the votes OF working
men, and had caused thousands of
Bryan men to vote for Mckinley and
that Bryan lost the election by the
changes made during the last three
days Of the campaign.
The senator did not make any effort
at set speech. but talked to his
friends In a conversational tone. His
remarks nevertheless elected generous
applause. His'farmer friends were out
In force and many populists and re-
publicans were In the audience and
Joined In to make the welcome hearty
one.
