A telephone which connects itself au-

recently been patented by Il German
electrician. Instead Of being SuSpefnh-

ers both ears-ls attached to HORIZONTAL
arms, which slide up and down OF per-
peHdicular rods attached to the wall.
The horizontal arms fold up like Il tel
escope, so that anybody may arrange
the telephone receiver as he likes best.
The employment Of these fixtures is,
therefore, very simple. When not i'm
use, the rod mt one side of the tcle-
phone box holds down the contact re-
ceiver. SO that the same action Is
tOmatically done which is now per-
formed by the receiver being hung uIs

When the telephone is to be used, the
arms carrying the receiver are pulled
apart and the head is placed between
them iii such Il way that both the re-

Bell Telephone Company Will Con-
troll Telephone Business.
Y. 8. Supreme Court sustalns Validity
Of Berliner Patent

Washington, May l0.--The Bell Tele-
phone Company has won the case brought
against IL by the United states. THIS de-
oision has the effect Of continuing the
control of the telephone by the Bell Com
pany for IL years from the date OF last
patent which was granted in 1891. The
government asked TO have the patent OF
1891 set aside on the ground that the de-
lay of Is years in the patent Office was
fraudulent and through the fauit OF tho
telephone tcompany and that the patent
issued In 1880 covered the same ground
on which tho new patent was applied FOR
in 1891. The court In its opinion delivered
by Justice Brewer held that tnere was no
evidence of undue influence exercised over
the patent Office by the telephone com
pany and that there was no evidence that
the delay in granting the patent had been
brought about by the company. Justice
Harlan dissented from the opinion. The
court held that in order. to set aside the
patont the government must establish
grounds OF belief. This decision by the
Supreme Court sustains the lower courts
The suit 1t was claimed involved the
practical control of art OF telephoning.
Ii originated in charge of collusion In
the patent office, and WAS brought 10
obtain the repeal and cancellation OF u
patent dated November II, 1884, granted
20 the American BellIelephone Company
as assignee of Emil Berliner, the alleged
inventor The repeal and cancellation OF
the patent was sought on the ground that
the application for IL when filed In 1877,
was not issued until 1891. This delay was
charged To be unnecessary and Improper
on the part of the patent office and the
BellTelephone Company which as Berlin
gers assignee, controlled the application.
lt was asserted that the company had
acquiesed in the delay for their own
interest thus defrauding the public OF
its rights. 1t was claimed thatlthe Ber-
liner patent practically controls tele-
phones as IL has To do with both the trans
mission and receipts of sound and that
the delay thus secured until 1891, operated
to prolong theScontrol for fifteen years be-
yond the time of the expiration OF the
Bell patent. Ii was also asserted that the
patent was granted by e.commissioner
of patents without authority of law and
that it was for the same invention for
which patents had been granted In 1880.
The suit originated in the United States
Circuit Court for the district ,of Massa-
ch1setts. where it was decided In favor OF
the United States Upon appeal TO the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the first
| circuit this decision was reversed and the
| contentious of the Berliner claimants
| upheld. From this opinion the United
| States appealed TO the supreme Court.
