Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-10-07

assertion that if Marconi undertakes fur
Their operations after those in connection
with the yacht race on which he is now
engaged legal proceedings will at once be
instituted against him.
Marconi. on the other hand, says that
he is going straight ahead operating his
system here and that the quicker Mr.
Dolbear begins his legal proceedings the
better Marconi will be pleased
Immediately after Signor Marconi
reached here Mr.. Maynnrdier came to
New York and notified the newspaper
with which Marconi had made arrange
ments that if an attempt was made to
use wireless telegraphy there would be
an appeal to the courts for an Injunction
I'VE did not approach Marconi on the
subject" said Clinton l.. Dolbear last
evening I'VE merely warned the news
paper. There was at first Il disposition
to make light of our warning, but this
attitude quickly changed. Finally a
compromise was reached by which we
agreed to waive our rights for the occa-
sion of the yacht races only on condition
that the newspaper in question print a
statement of the fact of our prior inven-
ton in patent and that our waiver was
for the present occasion only.
Ready For Fight.
1--WE are ready to fight this thing to a
finish. II Marconi undertakes to con-
duct experiments for the navy depart
ment we will at once bring action
against him. He will find himself hem
med in on every side. The men who are
back of us are fighters and have ample
capital. Our patent, issued on Oct. 5,
1885, covers the entire ground. 1t is for
the art of wireless telcGraphy. 1t does
not matter what Instruments or methods
are used. just as soon as anybody gets
into the field of wireless te!cgrnphy Or
telephony they are poachinG on our pre-
serves.
THE government does not iseue any
moro of these sweeping art patents. 1t
ceased doing so in 1890. But our patent
is that broad kind, and we propose 10 en-
force our rights under it to the limit
cgnnr Marconi was seen at the Holf-
man House.
II know nothing about any injunc-
ton" he said "Nohody has said any
thing to me about interference with my
work. Mr.. Dolbear's patent has nothing
to do with my invention. Priest, in Eng
land, had Il patent dating back to 1905
but it did not affect me in any way in
any work in England. My system is en-
tircIy different.
Nothing would please me better than
to have Mr.. Dolbcar begin legal pro-
cceAngs against mo. You may say that
| am going right ahead with my work
for the navy department as soon as the
yacht races are over: | have taken adj
vice on tho subject and am fully conf
dent Of my position. They may bring
on their lawsuits. | will welcome them. J"
The correspondent of an out of town
paper has this to say of Marconi's work
on the yacht races!
"Sisnor Marconi and his marvellous
wireless telegraphy scored one of the
triumphs of the era Of great Inventions,
giving the progress of the international
Yacht race between the Columbia and
the Shamrock. Again demonstrating the
wonderful unitarian value of the system
in transferring news, the wireless wizard
conquered the clements by overcoming
tho obstacles of haze, fog and smoke
clouds and kept the anxious public in
formed of the movements of the big
yachts lollS ult'l 'h''! WIZ IVY VII" 'ie

blcd On various telegraph station boats.
When a dcspairing message from Far
Rockaway was sent throughout the coun-
try by the anchored observers. Yachts
now in sight, but unable to distinguish
one from the other Signor Marconi was
sitting in the chaltroom of the steamer
Ponce flashing the detailed news.
"Marconi and his operators kept them
selves informed of every move of the
yachts by getting to favorable positions
denied to those who were anchored miles
away. They knew what was transpir,
ing. There was no guess work about the
intelligence flashed across the hazy in
terrval separating the observation boat
and the receiving boat
