If you think the street railroads in thfs

ride few times a week on the Ecki1g.or,

trip on the trolley and storage battery from
my house to the treasury. 1t is now rarely
accomplished within an hour. Il did .ak,.

not with the hOrses--tie Belt has never had
any oUher motor-but with the Indifference
and rapacity of this company, which know

terent lines from cars twenty minutes apart
TO cars an hour apart.

reached the cable. When it is considered

becomes unbearable. One night last week

Rigorous Laws Needed.

This can be prevented by international
recognition and protection of trade marks,
and particularly by the enforcement by the
nations of the world of rigorous laws for
the suppression of false indications of ORR
gin. One of the features of'the information
al convention is the agreement for the seiZ-
ure or protection of Importation of goods
bearing a false Indication of origin where
used with fraudulent intent. Another ar
tcie of the convention is, in substance, an
agreement that commercial names shall be
protected without the necessity for registra-
tion.
The patent laws of the United States give
10 foreigners nearly all the rights to which
they would be entitled under the conven-
tion. Ihe main exceptions are in reference
10 caveats and the effect of filing an ap-
pncatlon for patent in a foreign country
Defore ming here. In order to carry out
the convention in good faith it seems to be
required that foreigners should be permit
ted equally with our own citizens to file
caveats Caveats are Believed by many to
De or little or. no practical value, and it has
put foreigners ON an sequal footing with
our own citizens is TO abolish the caveat
entirely. Heretofore no effect has been
given in proceedings before the patent office
TO the filing of an application for patent i'll
foreign country. Though the Issuance of
1orelgn patent has always had its effect
as proof of the date of invention, Under
the convention the filing date of the for
elgn application for patent should be ac-
cepted as proof of the date of the invention
and in proceedings to determine which Of

1t is hoped that by so amending our laws
as to show our intent to carry the conven-

States may be in apostion= to urge more
vigorously certain changes in the conven

strain the use of the grip on the New York
and Brooklyn bridge. He is, moreover, one
of the leading authorities on trade marks
and trademark law. In 1881 he issued a
digest of trademark cases and trademark
law. He wrote the appendix for Codding-
tons Trade-Mark Digest, giving a digest
OF French trademark cases.
In 1890 he was appointed one of the two
delegates from the United States to the
conference at Madrid under the internation-
al convention for the protection of indus
trial property, concluded at Paris in 1885,
being particularly well qualified by reason
of his extensive studies in Europe and prac-
ticai knowledge of French and German. As
a result of that conference two internation-
al treaties were ratified by nearly all the
important nations of the world. In 1897 he
was one of the two delegates from the
United States to the International confer
ence held at Brussels and took q promi-
nent part in the deliberations of that body
Mr.. Forbes is one of the leading writers
Upon questions of law, and has from time
to time contributed his views to the maga-
zines upon such questions. particularly
when they relate to that branch of the law

The commission is not empowered to con
slider general amendments to the patent
laws but only such as bear upon the inter-
national convention, or treaty. for the pro-
lection of industrial property, which was
concluded at Paris in 1883 between num-
Der of the leading European nations anI
to which the United States became a party
in 1887. The purpose of the convention is to
eventually secure substantial harmony be-
tween the patent and trademark laws of
the nations of the world, SO that it may he
possible for an inventor or owner of a
trade mark to secure throughout the world
the same protection to which he is entitled
under the laws of his own country with as
little difficulty as may be. In other words,
it is hoped to secure through this interna
tion2l convention the same sort Of inter
national recognition of property rights in
industrial property by which is meant
Inventions trade marks and trade ur COM
mercial names, that is intended to be Sc
cured for intellectual property by interna-
tional copyright.
The Importance of the purpose and aim
of the convention, particularly in reference
to trade marks, should, II is canned, be
realized more Ihan it is by American man
ufacturerS and exporters. 1t is absolutely
necessary, it is urged, if the markets of
the world which are won by American ex-
ports are to be held, that the trade marks
used by the exporters be protected from in
fringement. The consular reports call at

American goods are sold abroad as English

who demanded that SObensd withdraw
his remark. The Pole refused, and the

made threats against SObenslxi. Spen-
Ger secured an American flag and, plac-

more for the American people and three
