build, construct and install wireless
instrumnets under the supervision of
Professor Shoemaker, and as soon as
they are competent, its sub-companies
engage them to construct and install
the operating plants.
This company up to date has fulfilled
every obligation which it set opt to do,
and all that it has advertised. It has
perfected the finest wireless tele-
graphy, superior in every respect, to
any system in the world today. II is
now up to the sub.companies to take
hold and put the system into practical
! operation; the Federal Sub.Company
has assured the parent company that

or permit from the American Wireless

Following the yacht races Of '99 it
was publicly stated that Marconi un-
! successfully tried to sell his system
! to-the Government, and also formed a
! $4,000. 900 stock company, Of which
the following were incorporated, as ap-
peared in the public prints; Gugliemo
Marconi, OF London, England, Isaac L.
Rice and August Belmont of New
York, Clement A. GriscOm, Of Philadel-
phia, and Robert GOodbody, Of Pater-
son, n. J. 1t is understood the New
York Herald was also interested.
When the owners Of the Dolbear patent
found Marconi intended to operate in
America with so many millions back
Of him. they thought II was a good
opportunity to secure damages from
Marconi for infringement and accord
ingly the owners Of the Dolbear patent
entered complaint against him for
100000 damages; but, after Marconi
realized that he was brought into court
he abandoned his scheme to sell stock
in this country and his instruments;
dropped the company and left the
shores Of America for his Dear Old
England" When the case came into
court, his company had been aban-
doned, his sale Of instruments stopped,
and the attempt TO sell his system to
the United States Government was
halted, thus stopping his infringement.
The owners of the Dolbear patent, saw
nothing in sight upon which to levy
for 100000 damages, so the complaint
was Withdrawn and the Judge dismiss
edit: furtheraction can be taken at any
time against all infringers. The main
object Of the complaint at the time
was to collect damages.
About a year ago, through a broker,
the Herald tried to purchase a con.
trolling interest Of this company and
its patents, but the price seemed too
high. and from what was understood
at the time they expected to sell this
system to the Government, but per
haps there was not enough 'rake-oit'
to paw the different parties who were
Interested; It is understood even Naval
officers were In the scheme The Her
