BOWERS DREDGING PATENTS.
Bill to Extend Their Life Favorably
Reported to Senate.

A favorable report from the Senate COM
mlttee on patents yesterday afternoon on
a bill extending for seventeen years the
Bowers patents for hydraulic dredging has
caused widespread comment 1t was
charged during the hearings on this bill
that Its passage would give a monopoly of
the dredging on the isthmian canal to those
who control these patents, and that these
patents are controlled by ten dredging
firms of the United States. which firms have
formed combination for the control of
the class of work they engage in,
During the committee hearings on the bill
to extend the Bowers patents a letter was
presented from the commissioner of pat
ents, IN which he stated he thought it was
unWlse to grant this extension, as the same
arguments put for ward in this case would
apply to thousands of others, and would
encourage others to come forward with a
similar request. 1t was shown that one
claim of the Bowers patents would domi-
nate at least thirty-eight specific improve
ments that other inventors have made, so
that If the extension is granted these
thirty-eight inventors will see their own
patents expire before they can profit by
them under the law.
The Attorney General, referring to the
Bowers patents thought it would be
doubtful policy to renew and extend pat
ents for inventions which the Court of
Claims and the Supreme Court may decide
in the present suit to have been antici-
pated.'
Gen. Gillespie. chief Of engineers, United
States army, reporting on this bill, said
such legislation would permit contractors
to maintain higher rate than would be
possible under natural conditions and free
competition. 1t, would cause the govern
ment to pay more for it's dredging
The question OF the validity of the Bow
ers patents was argued before the commit
tee. and 1t was claimed that the principles
on which the patents were granted were
in use as far back as 1S47. and that the
patents would not stand before the courts
II a case against them were prosecuted to
decision. In the case against the Navy

hough the latter were getting dim in his

tory to modern eyes until the present king
determined to drop Albert as not altogether
English, as perhaps little too suggestive
OF Germany, to be wholly popular. AS the
double name is not quite the thing for Brit
ish royalties, the Prince of Wales is as
little likely to be known as George Fred
erick l as his father was to call himself
Albert Edward l. Since the Norman con-
really began, the names of her sovereigns
have ranged very briefly and within a i'm
tied selection.
There have been eight Henrys, seven Ed
wards. four Williams, two Jameses, two
Charleses, three Richards, four Georges
two Marys, one Elizabeth one Anne, one
Stephen one John and one Victoria. OF
the eight Henrys the last was that de
fender of the faith' who assailed all faiths
that interfered with his pleasure or his
pride. Henry VIII-''bluff King Har'-was
the last Henry who ruled England. James
rs son Henry, Prince of Wales, died young
and his amiability and ability have caused
his death to be reckoned among the many
n.isfortunes of the unfortunate house Of
Stuart. There was no Edward on the
throne between the death of Edward VI in
1893 and the accession of Edward VII in
1901. There was even longer gap between
the second and the third Williams for the
former died in the year HOO. and the latter
was proclaimed February Is. 1889, reignng
jointly with his wife. the second Mary.
The house of Hanover brought in the
name Of George, and made 1t popular,
for 1t is but seldom encountered in Brit
ish history before their time, notwith-
standing that it was borne by the patron
saint of Great Britain. 1t Is now one of
the commonest Of British and American
given names. Probably there are many
more Johns than Georges, but King John
"queered' the name as one for royalty.
Stephen, though not unpopular name With
the commonality, has shared the fate of
John in the selections made by royal spon-
sors. We presume that King Edward s
popularity and his selection Of his second
| name as that under which he will reign will
give Edward something of the vogue which
George enjoyed. Its old-time popularity in
England reflected the admiration which
England felt for the genius Of Edward III,
| the chivalry Of the Black Prince, and the
piety of Edward VI.
While speaking of English royal names

proceedings of the court so far as they
related to the question of contempt
Admiral Barker expressed general con-
currence in the reviewing authority's ac-
ton in the case, and also in the latter
statement that the proceedings appeared
to be the first on record wherein an at
tempt had been made by summary
court to punish in any way for contempt.
The court cited authority for it's action
article AZ of the articles for the govern
ment Of the navy, which provides that
whenever a person behaves with contempt
to the court it shall be lawful for tina
court to imprison him for a term not ex-
ceeding two months.
The Navy Department has decided how
ever, that this article has never been held
applicable to summary courts, and fur
thermore that the court had at hand n
means of enforcing orderly conduct by Ie-
porting an offender to the converting au-
thority.
The department in its comment on che
case. declared that "On the part of the
court and the recorder an absence of APP
probation Of the dignity and Importance
of the duty devolving upon it, was dis
closed, and therefore that the inadvis-
ability of extending to these inferior
courts such peremptory powers is en-
phasized."
In this connection 1t is learned that
while the army statute has been regarded
as likewise broad enough to authorize in
ferior courts to punish for contempt. such
power. If it exists. is not in practice ex-
ercised.
THE question Of the power Of summary
courts" says Secretary Moody, Ito punish
for contempt has rarely heretofore, IL
ever, arisen, and is not likely to arise i'm
practice, the converting authority being. as
a rule. readily accessible. The only case
known (224O0-S. c. NJ, case of Private
John w. BirketD presenting a question at
all similar is one in which a summary
court, sitting at the marine barracks. navy
yard, Mare Island, Cal. In 1897. undertook
to punish the recorder by spreading upon
its record words censurfne him for what
the court regarded negligence and mat
tention.. This action was disapproved by
the department .

Ger of marines and the members and re-
corder of the court with the contents OF

princes OAK IN PARK DYING.
Effort to Save Tree Planted by King
Edward in 1860.

The New York gWortd Of today says:
The English oak that King Edward VII
when Prince Of ,Whes. planted in Central
Park forty-two years ago is dying, but
Samuel Parsons, jr..r the landscape archi-
tect of the park, will try to save it.
The Princes oak." fas the tree is called
stands on the size Of the mall, about 200
feet south from thett bronze eagles. The
prince planted attheesame time an Ameri-
can elm. The elm is"a beautiful tree, tall
and symmetrical! The oak is understood
and shrubby. Its trunk rises but a few
feet, then forks, Tt Il scarcely forty feet
high and its. leaves are few, for it cannot
nourish them.
Mr.. Parsons, now physician to all the all
ing trees in the PARK win try to rejuvenate
the princes oak. He will have dug a circle
fifteen feet in diameter and eighteen inches
deep around the tree. and fill the circle
with well-manured soil. SO as to give the
oak the sustenance for which 1t is hungry
He will clear the tree Of dying branches
and clean it of insects. Mr.. Parsons said
yesterday that very many trees and shrubs
in the park need the same treatment.

been making a 12-cent rate because the

sidered too low.

PACIFIC increase.
Beginning January /, the southern
Pacific and Santa Fe railway systems
in the local jurisdiction will increase
the pay of operatives to an amount in
excess of $4,000. says a dispatch from
Los Angeles. Between 5000 and 10, 900
persons are affected, the new condi-
tons being more sweeping than any
similar movement ever attempted in
this territory. Average increase will
be from 3 to s per cent a month, and
the concessions will have been effected
with little or no friction between en-
ployers and the employed.
Telegraphers, station agents, dis
patchers, freight clerks and freight
handlers on the Southern Pacific have
had their demands granted. The Santa
Fe took the initiative and made the
concession December 1. The Southern
Pacific rule in the new conditions will
go in effect January /.
Engineers and firemen of both sys-
TENS also will obtain more pay after
New Years day. The schedules are
now being readjusted and the result
will be announced in a few days.
Freight clerks in River station have
had their salaries raised S. per month,
with eight hours work, and clerks in
the passenger department are in hopes
the present visit of G. A. Parkyns in
San Francisco will rebound in similar
advantage to them.
