dated Rubber Tire Company.
The answer OF the defendants in the
case of the Consolidated Rubber Tire
Company against T. A. Ward and John
F. Glatgny was filed yesterday in the
office OF the clerk OF the United States
Circuit Court. The plaintiff is suing the
defendants for alleged infringement upon
patent rights held by H. and of this al

Its patent for this purpose Is being m
fringed upon by the Savannah men who
are named as defendants IN the suit IL has
Instituted. Besides the general denial Of
any infringement upon any patent rights.
the defendants assert that they are op-
Grating under a patent regularly granted
10 Joseph A. Burrows II Is further al
legged that long before the patent claimed
10 have infringed was granted. rubber
tires for vehicles were IN common use.
so that the patent upon the principle could
not properly have been obtained
As only the process was properly patent-
able. Il Is asserted that there has been no
infringement, as the process the Savan-
nah men have been using Is quite differ
ent from that owned by the Consolidated
Rubber Tire Company. the plaintiff In the
pending suit. The answer OF the defend
ants Is filed by II. A. Toulmin. OF Mnssa-
