CLAIM INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS
Rubber Tire Company's Suit Against
Savannah Firm,

Suit for injunction against Messrs. T.
A. Ward and ]. F. Glatigny was fled in
the United States Court yesterday by the
Consolidated Rubber Tire Company and
the Rubber Tire Wheel Company to pre-
vent the infringement by use of their
patents on rubber tires for vehicles.
Messrs. Ward & Glatigny have been
putting rubber tires on vehicles for some
time, using the Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der Company's tires, which the appli-
cants for the injunction claim are an in
fringement on their patents. The suit is
said to be one of many against the dealers
in rubber tires throughout the country.
Mr. Ward said last night that he had
not been served with notice of the suit.
He said that he and Mr.. Glatigny are
fully protected, however. Their contract
with the Goodyear Rubber Tire Company,
through It's Southern agents, contains
guarantee that their tires are not an in
fringement on any patent and in event
of legal proceedings the Goodyear peo-
pie will assume and defend their inter-
ests without cost.
1--WE are not worrying about the matter
al all" said Mr.. Ward.

CIRCULATION OF SATURN.
An Interesting Heavenly Phenome-
non to Take Place Tonight.

An occul tation of the planet Saturn will
take place tonight, when for more than
N hour the rnged planet will be con-
cea,ed by the moons disk.
The immersion, as the astronomers can
it. will take place at 1l:51, o'clock, and the
EMERSON at 12:13 o'clock Just before the
occultation the planet will hang like
bright gem on the dark edge of the moon,
and then, almost suddenly, VIII disappear
from view. The phenomenon is rare enc
and view of it will doubtless be enjoy
ed by those who care to turn their eyes
heavenward at that time.
As superintendent Ashmore and prin-
cipal II. f. Train, both leave to-day at
noon for Charleston, to attend the sess-
ions of the National Educational Associ
alton, and as the other high school teach
ers are already out of the city, the high
school telescope. unfortunately can not
be brought into play for the benefit of
those who would enjoy telescope study

very plainly with the naked eye, how

TO SEE ABOUT HOSPITAL SCHEME.
City Council VIII Consider Oner for
Army Buildings Tomorrow.

Mayor Myers said yesterday that he will
lay the subject of the purchase of the gov
ernment hospital buildings before the City
Council at its meeting tomorrow after
noon. The Mayor is very doubtful as to
the advisa bility of the city's purchasing
the property, but at the same time he is
making an inves tigaton of the condiNons.
He had some of the maps from the en-
gineer's Office brought down yesterday for
the purpose of seeing if the city had any
available land which could be used for
hospital purposes. The maps revealed that
while the city owns considerable scattered
real estate IN the southern section it does
not own any Of sufficient extent for such
a purpose.
1T would be very expensive to move the
hospital buildings from their present loca-
ton to any size north of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway" said the
Mayor. even if we should find 1t to our
advantage 10 buy them. In this case I
think il would be better to obtain by lease
or purchase suitably located land in the
near vicinity of the present hospital site.
II would not only be less expensive TO
move the buildings, but the hospital would
be located outside of the residence sec
ton"
4 find that the city's expenditures for
hospital facilities are not very great"
said the Mayor, land the service rendered
Is satisfactory. From a business stand
point it might not be well to hamper
the citys finances by making a large ex-
penditure for hospital purposes"
Alderman James M Dixon is one of
those who believes that the city should
not fail 10 take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity offered IT, 1T would be a great
mistake if the city should let such an op-
portunity pass" he said. THE hospital
question has been very thoroughly dis
cussed during the last several months.
and the advantage 10 the city of having
its own hospital has been clearly shown.
Now we have the opportunity of securing
finely equipped hospital buildings at much
below actual cost, and ia should not be
allowed to pass. Land conveniently stu
ated can be obtained on reasonable terms
and the buildings can be removed at a
small cost. l. for one, shall favor TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity"
Mayor Myers has received a telegram
from Quartermaster General Ludfngton,
thanking him for his courtesy and inter-
est in the matter, and stating that in ac-
cordance with his request the dismant-
Ing of the hospital will be deferred.

PHONES ACROSS THE RIVER.
Georgia Company Now Controls the
Island business.

The Georgia Telephone and Telegraph
Company, which controls the telephone
service from the city to Hutchinson's Isl
and, has just completed the installation
of four telephones in the terminal build
ings, and has orders to put in three more
as soon as possible. The Georgia Com
pany has its main 25-pair wire cable,
wires in which are leased to the railroad
for telegraph purposes, and also uses the
city cable. which connects at present with
the revenue cutter Tybee's wharf. where
a Georgia phone has been put in place
of the Bell phone under its contract with
the city.
The river is pretty well spanned with
cables at present and will have more
later, when the Edison Electric Illumi-
mating Company puts in a large one for
che purpose of furnishing lights on the
island. The Edison people propose put
ting down very fine cable. The wires
in the Georgia Company's cable are in
sulated with paper, covered with lead,
and armored with large iron wires to
protect it. The number of wires in il are
believed to be sufficient TO supply the en-
tire demand for telephone service on the
other side of che river.
General Manager Polk of the Georgia
company has been watching closely the
progress the new company is making
Thursday of each week an account is
kept of the number who use the phone,
and the increase for the last three weeks
has been remarkable. Thursday three
weeks ago the number of calls was $500;
Thursday two weeks ago there were $500
calls, and Thursday OF last week 1900
calls. The increased popularity of the
new phone. aside from IFS dealings with
the public is shown by the fact that it
is continually making new connections
When all of its orders are filled nearly
every nook and corner of the city will
be connected.
The fight that it was expected would
follow the operations of rival companies
has not come, apparently. The fact the
Georgia's rates are under its competitor
gives it the advantage in getting new
business.
