Decision In Favor OF Kansas Company.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 13.-An unusual
ly interesting order was made Tuesday
at Topeka by Judge Hook, Of the Fed
eral court, in the case of the Welsbach
Light company, of Philadelphia,
against the Newly Incandescent Man
tie company, of Kansas, discharging
the restraining order, issued by Judge
Williams in November, thus enabling
the Newly company to proceed in the
operation of its factory, This order is
OF especial interest as its results affect
a large portion of the commercial world
in this bitter legal wrestle with the
question of infringement, the Newly
company winning the first throw.

SOMETHING WHICH TIME MAY
BRING

The time may come when the transpor-
tation of the mails from the railroad
station will be done by the electric roads
in Portland. Postmaster SWEET was asked
yesterday by PRESS reporter II he
thought such scheme was feasible and
he said that undoubtedly IL could be done
If the electric road would take the con-
tract with the saving OF considerable time
between the office and the railroad sta
tons He did not think 10 probable that
such "a schema would be put into opera
ton. however, for "a long time If it is ever
dom.
The suggestion has been made that the
electric road could construct loops around
by Union station platform and the Grand
Trunk and also back of the post office so
that mail cars could be run right up to
the trains and load and discharge mails
very easily without the loss Of much time
between tbs station and the post Office.
The Portland ami Cape Elizabeth road
could handl, the Portland and Rochester
mails in the same way.
This is of course only talk and may
never amount TO more than this, but 1t Is
one of the things which may be brought
about in the course Of few years. SINH
lar schemes are already in operation in
some of the big cities.

GIVEN a YACHT.
Camden Naval Reserves Have secured
the Hantrc.s as DrilI ship.

Some Portland people may be interested
to know that the Camden division of New
Jersey Naval reserves with part of whom
some Of the boys from Portland served
during the past summer on the Montauk,
has been given the steam yacht Huntress
by the navy department as cruising
ship. The Camden division went to
Brooklyn navy yard and manned the
yacht and with about twenty men and
several officers aboard, some of whom
were ON the Montauk here this summer,
she started for the Delaware Outside
sandy Hook she encountered fierce gale
and was forced to return to her anchorage
off Tompkinsville. The New York papers
had good deal TO say about the able
manner in which this yacht was handled
and praised the New Jersey officers not a
little for their excellent seamanship in
the fierce gale which threatened the de-
struction of the ship. She Is now anchored
off Camden and will be used for cruising
purposes during the coming season.
During the war the Huntress was one Of
the patrol fleet of New York harbor.

FREE DELIVERY FOR oeEalNo.
Annexation would Hasten Thi. Matter
a Little.

| Postmaster SWEET was asked yesterda,
afternoon by PRESS reporter what ar
fragments would be made In Deerins
for the delivery of mails by the carriei
system II that city were annexed to Port
land.
Mr.. SWEET said that while the annex
alton OF Deering to this city would un.
doubtedly call attention to the advisable
ty of giving Deering the free delivery sys-
tenn 1t would not be necessary as far as
the post Office department is concerned
to wait until the annexation was
brought about to give Deering this free
delivery. He said that II seemed to be
the policy of the post Office department to
consolidate post offices where 1t is posi-
lie to do this and that he bslievsd the
department was already considering the
sdvisability Of giving to Deering de-
livery service. Some time ago, ms was
stated in the PRESS at the time. Post.
master SWEET recommended that the de.
psrtment give Deerine carrier service.
In n letter written TO the department.
at that time urging the necessity of Civ
ing Portland extra carriers lie recon-
mended that Dsering be given free deliv.
cry service. Within radius OF three
miles of the Portland otfice there are 10
post offices with three ut the islands, of
which two are summer resort Offices.
OF these Woodiords is third class office,
and the post office in that city pays a
salary of $500, this amount including
clerk hire. 1t would be Mr.. SWEETS idea
to consolidate these offices ms far as Deer
ing is concerned any way andlgive to
that city three carriers who would radi-
ate from a SUB station at Woodfords.
oakdale is now supplied with mail from
the Portland office by carriers and mail
Is delivered In Stroudwater as far as the
railroad crossing. These two services
with the three carriers for Deering could
DO extended so as to include all of the
Deering territory. The postmaster Of
car led out. cease to be postmaster
but would become clerk In charge of
the sub-station at sala..' of abou: $1,000
and with nothing TO pay out Of this sum
for clerk hire. He would also come I'M
der the civil service laws and his tenure
of office would then be much longer than
1t is now. Mail would then be delivered
by carriers to all residents of Deering at
least twice day. while the offices at East
Deerine. Deering Centre. Stevens Plain
avenue and Stroudwater would probably
be abolished.
East behring's mail is now supplied
By electric cars from Woodfords, and
Mr. SWEET and ths officials Of the railway
mail service have been trying to secure
electric car mail service from Portland
for the Stroudwater office.
This consolidation OF the offices and
free carrier service for Deering is sure
TO be brought about some time, but 1t
does not depend In any way upon Deer
ing's annexation to Portland though
annexation would doubtless hasten the
matter little.

OVERDUE STEAMSHIPS.
No Anxiety Felt Concerning Them
Though They Are Six Days Late.

whilH no great anxiety is felt for the
arrival Of the steamers now six or seven
days overdue at this port still the agents
of the English steamship companies hsre
would doubtless be glad to see their ships
reach port in a few days The Atlantic
has been swept during the past few weeks
by Tremendous storms and the weather
has been reported worse this year than for
many winters previous.
Every day the telegraph or cable reports
crippled steamers putting into some port
for repairs and as the days spin along
these reports become more numerous.
The ships bound to Portland are all light,
or nearly so. and would necessarily have
hard times in the gales whica have
caused so muoh damage to steamships
which have encountered them. AL Of the
big liners have been delayed by these
storms and the fact that the ships bound
here are six days or week overdue is not
to lie wondered at
The slips due here are the Fremona of
the Thomson line, Buenos Ayrean and
Sandman of the Allan line, the Arab and
Virginian of the Leylan line.
The Fremona sailed from Shields De-
cember 25th, instead of December cath, as
has been published, She is now eighteen
days out but no.anxiety is felt concern
ing her as 1t is to be expected that she
would have long passage as she carries
little or no freight.
The Buenos Ayrean left Liverpool De-
cember "a ami is nineteen days out The
Sandman Is some overdue. TheViIg gilman
hos been out since December 18th. The
passage OF these steamers does not usually
extend over fifteen or sixteen days except
ing In very bad weather. The Arab which
sailed Decem Der cath was obliged to put
back into Queenstown on Decem der 2Sth
for repairs She sailed again for Portland
January 18th. The Lokoja of the Elder :
Dempster line is bound to Portland via
Boston and has been out since December
gath She was scheduled originally to sail
from here on December 10th, but her
steering gear was disabled.and her repairs
delayed her until December 9Th.
