Georgetown University, and especially on
the development of the law department.
This department, though only about a
quarter OF century old, was one of the
features of the university.
J. H. Ashton one of the founders of
the law school. told the story of its
creation. That was during the presidency
of Father Mcclure. said the speaker. Mr..
Ashton recommended that a special course
in international law be established by the
university. in view of the wider and widen
ing relations OF the United States.
Arson G. Taylor when called on, said
that Re was man OF sentences instead of
speeches. He referred to old times at the
university.
William A. o'Neill, president of the
graduate class of 1899. in response 10 n
summons for a speech, said that though he
and his classmates appreciated the honor
sought to be conferred upon them. he con-
sidered that it would be more becoming
in him to listen to his seniors, rather than
to make a speech.
Father Whitney. rector of the university,
was the last speaker. When he arose the
hall shook with wild and prolonged COL
lege yells. He invited the alumni TO look
around and note the work accomplished
during the year. He emphasized the point
that it cost money to make improvements
and he stood in urgent need of $4,000.
He frequently read in the newspapers of
great bequests to Yale and Harvard, but
he looked almost in vain for similar an
nouncements with regard to Georgetown.

The Truth About
The HailWOOd
Indictment.

A despatch published in The Times an
nounces that an indictment has been secur-
ed at Pittsburg against John II. Patterson,
president. and Joseph II. Crane. NJ. n. ia
cobs, d. L. Perkins n. f. Thomas, and
Thomas Savage, agents of the National
Cash Register Company, charging them
with conspiracy The indictment is based
upon an affidavit sworn to by W. H. Gill.
agent for the Hallwood Cash Register
Company at Pittsburg.
Gill was formerly in the employ of our
Pittsburs agent Mr.. NJ. n. Jacobs, but was
discharged for cause, after which he was
appointed gales; agent for the Hallwood
Cash Register Company
Gill, instigated by the home office, ap-
peared before an alderman in Pittsburg
and swos-e that the National Cash Register
Company. its officers and agents, mali
ciously conspired and agreed to defraud the
Hallwood Company of its moneys, goods,
chattels. and other property and, by
dishonest and unlawful acts and false
statements and representations, destroyed
and ruined the business of the Hallwood
Cash Register Company"
The above accusations are wholly false
The reason they failed to succeed in Pitts
burg was because of the inferior quality
of their machines, which were found to
contain many serious defects and failed to
give proper protection to the merchant
The Hallwood register having been found
to infringe number of our patents. we
have brought in the United States Court
four suits for infringement against that
company. We have also pending in the
various United States Courts large num-
Der of suits against users and sellers of the
Hallwood register.
Recently We secured control of the fun
damental patent on multiple counter and
department cash registers and il is now
known that the registers made by the
Hallwood Company infringe this patent
Formal notice has been served upon them
that suit will be commenced under this
patent unless they at once discontinue the
manufacture of their register.
Not content with encroaching upon our
patent rights, the Hallwood Company and
Its agents have circulated concerning us
many false and malicious statements, in
consequence of which we have sued them
for Sl50,0G0 damages: and Mr.. John H.
Patterson, president of this company, has
entered a libel suit against them for $780,
eco damages for printing false statements
about him personally.
For some time past the hope and am
bition OF the Hallwood company has been
TO sell out to the National company. We
have declined TO make them any offer, and
they have. therefore. resorted to all kinds
of scurrilous advertising and personal at
tacks upon this company. its officers and
representatives, to gain their end.
We desire that the public should know
that under no circumstances and at no
price will we ever buy out the HaIlwood
Cash Register Company. and we are rot
to be intimidated into doing so. We have
been guilty of no offence against the law
of any State, and have done nothing that
is not legal, honorable and businessiike
