TELEPHONE WAR SETTLED
Right of Exclusive Manufacture Held
to Be Invalid.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. SIN the United
States circuit court yesterday Judge Sho-
walter issued an order OF far-reachiDg. I'M
portance to the telephone industry, in
which the court practically puts an emu to
tie alleged right OF exclusive manufacture
held by the Western Electric Company.
The order, or entry, made in the case is
to the effect that the Watson telephone
switch patent had expired July 80, 1895,
by virtue of its having been taken out in
Canada by the inventor, July 80, $50. 20.
The discovery that q Canadian patent
had been issued on the invention was made
only recently by the Western Telephone
Construction Company. which concern was
the principal defendant in the suit brought
ny the combined Bell and Western Electric
combination.
The court has had the case in which
the Western Electric Company charged in
fringement under advisement since last
summer, and in the meantime the Western
Telephone Construction Company discovered
this new evidence. Aside from ordering
the admission Of this testimony yesterday,
Judge Showalter could do nothing further
until he renders his decision.
Under the decision in the Bates re-
frigerator case the discovery of the Canadian
patent shortens the time OF the Watson
concession five years, it having been ruled
that a patent taken out in a foreign coun-
try acts against a later patent issued in this
country.

PLAYERS WERE ELIGIBLE
Harvard Made No objection to Prince
toms 'r1en.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. s.-Prof. Joseph
II. Beale, chairman Of the Harvard athletic
committee, yesterday made the following
official communication in regard to Har-
wards attitude toward certain members OF
the Princeton eleven:
"Will you allow me to correct certain
statements that have been made to Har-
wards objection o-some of the Princeton
football team?
There has been no dispute between
Harvard and Princeton on any question of
fact, nor has Harvard at any time taken a
position which could by any possibility
have caused rupture of the athletic re-
iations existing between the two universi-
ties, or a refusal by either to play the
football game arranged for today.
"A question was at one time raised as
to Mr.. Gailey's eligibility to play on the
Princeton team. Upon investigation, how.
ever, it appeared that h e is perfectly eligible.
He has only played two years at Lafayette
and one at Princeton before the present
year.
Harvard has absolutely no objection to
urge to the eligibility of any Of the men
who played in the game today"

LIGHT FINGERS AT WORK
Thieves Were Busy Saturday Night
Over the City.
They Made q Pretty Neat Haul OF
1t, ToO-MOuey, Watches
and Bicycles.

Five robberies were reported yesterday
to Inspector Holllnberger at police head
quarters, and the police blotter shows that
the total proceeds of Saturday nights
thieylng made q very neat sum. The ever
present desire for other peoples goods
did business at the old stand and the Of
ficers are looking for those who could hot
resist the temptation to take what did not
belong to them.
Gilbert b. Towles, whose office is in
the Robbins Building, at seventh and F
streets, was the first to tell the police
that light fingers had been about. Satur-
day night Mr.. Towles left $50 in bills in
his desk at the office. Yesterday morn-
ing the money had disappeared.
Charles p Powell is a private in Battery
A Of the Fourth Artillery. He, saved his
pay and had S135 in a trunk beneath ms
cot in the squad room. A thief got 1t and
yesterday Powell complained to the police
He said he was loathe to suspect any OF
his comrades and thought it probable that
some of the hangers-on about the barracks
had entered the squad room while the
men were at drill and taken the money.
William A Hutchinson, of No. 1858 Pros-
meet avenue reported that a gold watch
had disappeared from his room some time
during the last two weeks, and asked the
police to find it.
Catherine Cox lives in Jackson Hall al
ley. While she was down town yesterday
some one entered her room and made off
with a gold scarf pin. Yesterday she told
the officers of her loss.
William H. Snyder is q clerk at the

RACES ON lHE LAKES.
Union of Yachting Association in
That Region Formed.

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. S.-SiX yachting men
Of national reputation, representing two OF
the yacht racing associations of the great
lakes, held a meeting Of considerable i'm
portance and great length at the Hotel
Iroquois last night. The meeting was
strictly private.
There were present Commodore Hover,
OF Buffalo; G. I. Bliss, of Erie, Pa, and
E. W. Raider, of Cleveland, representing
the InteriaSe Yacht Racing Association;
President Emil Jarvis, of Toronto; F. E.
Burroughs, OF Rochester, and h. ii. Am
brose, OF Hamilton. Ont, representing the
Lake Yacht Racing Association, OF Lake
Ontario. 1t was expected that delegates
from the Yacht Racing Association, of
Lake Michigan, would also attend, but
telegram was received early in the even
ing saying that none OF the members of
that association could come, and asking
that the otner two associations proceed
as il all three were acting together.
The meeting was-for the purpose of
framing IL constitution and bylaws, em-
bracIng a system of measurements and
classification for all the associations of
the great lakes. This constitution is for
the Y acht Racing Union Of the Great Lakes,
which embraces the three great associa-
ton of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and Lake
Michigan.
1HeSt dSSOCidtiOIlSi III tuIn represent ABOUT
fifty yacht clubs in different parts Of the
country, bordering on the fresh water seas.
The constitution as presented to the six
delegates last night comprised thirty-eight
articles. The first article only is made
public at this time. 1t is as follows:
The object of the union shall he to con-
tinue yachting and boat racing ON the
Great Lakes; to unity the rules and classi-
fications now existing SD that they will
apply to all clubs and in all events on the
Great Lakes; but it is not intended that
the union shall act in anything but an
advisory capa city"
The delegates present would not make
public any OF the other articles, but Presi-
dent Jarvis, of Toronto, said the present
system of measurements had not been ma
terially altered.
The idea of forming a union of lake as
sociations is to conform to that recently
adopted by the salt water clubs and is
for similar purposes.
