Against the Paris show
BALTIMORE. July 21.-Dr. David Cen
csc. dentist and inventor. who lives at 621
North Calhoun Street. has returned from
Europe. where he spent about three
months, principally al he Paris Exposition.
DR.. Genese went abroad last April for the
purpose OF disposing O. scme OF his inven-
tons and seeing that his exhibit at the
Paris Exposition was properly set up. He
left Baltimore a widower Of ten years, but
while in England. his native country, he
married Miss X z. Howe. OF Fulham. who
I is a granddaughter of Cheney. the famous
landscape gardener Of England. DR.. and
Mrs. Genese arrived in Baltimore last
Tuesday nigh.
DR.. Genese said the individual exhibitor
at the Paris Exposition had rather hard
| time TO get what he felt were his rights
The doctor went over TO put up a machine
Of his own invention. for which he had
taken out French patent. The French
law requires that within TWO years after
the patent has been granted the machine
( shall be exhibited in perfect working or
/ der and shall be inspected by officers Of
/ the French courts. II the machine is
/ found to be imperfect the patent is re-
voked. Being familiar with the French
| law, 10 prevent any difficulty Dr.. Genese
/ attended 10 everything himself
When he left the exposition about three
weeks ago the machine, which was one for
compromising cheElicals. was il its place
among the chemical exhibits. Yesterday
/ he received an anonymous letter, written
On July 10. which was as follows
ms int hr~
4 exhibit has been removed from its zee
/ and Is now slowed away in corner be
/ hind Tie moving stairway along with old
7 boxes and other rubbish. II might as veil
! be at the bottom Of the Seine, and II you
/ wTi'e 20 the commission they might for
a consideration store II in some old gar
! ret for you 4 pIC1Ograph IS now installed
/ in the place formerly occupied by your
/ machines"
/ DR.. Genese wrote Immediately % Paris
/ 10 Commissioner Capelart OF the occur
/ renee. teIIins the commissioner that he
( had complied wiki every requisite Of the
I commissioners in putting up his exhibit
( and that he would hold the commissioner
I personally responsible for any loss. The
/ machinery was Insured FOX $1,000.
! '-.o-eignors have had the greatest G.fi-
| euloy in getting their exhibits" he says,
I The number OF exhibitors is so large that
! il hes been difficult 90 handle all Of the
Z stuff. Exhibits we're Still coming in when
/ I left Paris the last OF June I left because
/ under the French law I could not manufac-
1 tUre some things I needed there, AID had
Co come home % make them I expect
10 return later.
| Americans have had a particularly hard
tine n getting their stuff, and quantities
! OF merchandise have been scattere6-CUe
| 20 the poor arrangements for The deliver
iaS Of pacl-a ses-fos twenty miles around
( the outskirts Of Paris"
The Doctor said that the system OF
| grouping all exhibits OF one kind together
has not been particularly satisfactory 20
the exhibitors. For instance" be sai1,
I las s5Ol IS people would enter the depart
menI OF chemical industry and would Lui
I that il was devoted 70 that only they
/ would lOok al the first case or tWo and
! would leave fer other parts Of the expo
[ siJion."
In speaking OF the expense Of attending
she exposition 20 the visitor, Dr. Gen
csc said
The tipping that is absolutely necess1-
! " makes q serious inrOad into ones pock-
! etbook- You cant get q glass OF say-
/ thing or = thing 10 eat without feeling the
/ attendant The small ho,eis and Board
ing h0yses have nearly doubled their
prices. Sc-oe Of the restaurants tnat
/ charged Certai. prices II May had their
/ signs painted over and in June were charg-
| iIg 80 peF cent more than they had done
| the month before
