BOB WINES MILITARY TITLE.
Once Adjudged by Court to Be a
Colonel

When First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Robert ]. Wynne assumed the duties
of his official position he became painfully
aware of his advance in the military world
by being addressed as General Wynne."
This is not the first time that Mr.. Wynne
has achieved a military title. 1t happened
that some years ago when the District gov
eminent was digging trenches along 14th
street and down G street a pedestrian fell
in one of them, injured himself very seri-
ously and sued the government for dam
ages. Judge Jere Wilson was attorney for
the plaintiff and knowing that Mr.. Wynne
had to cross these trenches late at night
after leaving Newspaper Row. he sum-
moned him as a witness In the case to show
the dangerous condition that existed. He
was announced in court Colonel Robert
]. Wynne.'
Il see you are summoned as Colonel
Wynne," said District Attorney Thomas.
viii you tell the court what military serv-
ice you have SEEM
Not any replied Mr.. Wynne, but do
not see that l am responsible for the way
your subpoena is made out" Then after a
moments hesitation Mr. Wynne continued
But 1 submit to the court" he said
whether man who has lived in Wash
ington twenty years Is not entitled to the
title of colonel"
Amid general amusement Judge Jere Will
son declared that his witness had estab-
lished his right to the title Of colonel, to
which the judge assented.

IMPORTANT PATENT DECISION.
United States Supreme Courts Posi-
ton as to Authorizations,

In the current issue of the Patent Office
Gazette Is contained the text Of decision
by the United States Supreme Court which
has excited wide interest among inventors,
members of the patent bar and all the Of
ficials of the bureau Of patents. Its sig
nificance is that 1T announces a more ex-
plicit position to "anticipations" of pat
ents than the courts have previously taken.
The law in that connection as expressed
by Mr.. Justice Brown. is now as follows:
ITO anticipate process patent it is neces-
sary not only to show that the prior pat
ent might have been used to carry out the
process, but that such use was contemplate
ed or that 1t would have occurred to an
ordinary mechanic in operating the device"
This issue went before the United States
Supreme Court on appeal from the United
States circuit court in the case Of the
Carnegie Steel Company against the Cam
bria Iron Company for alleged infringe
ment The former firm held letters Of as
signment from William r. Jones for
patent on an Improvement OF the Bessemer
process of refining molten pig metal. The
Cambria Company was alleged to be max
ing use Of virtually the same process as
that patented by Jones, but under several
patents assigned by several inventors all
of which enabled the Cambria Company to
produce the same results by practically the
same process as that for which the Car
negie Company held the patent rights. 1t
was held by the court and announced
through Mr.. Justice Brown that the several
patents owned by the Cambria Company
could not be held to have anticipated the
Jones patent unless the inventors specifi-
cally contemplated the identical results for
which the Jones process was designed.
Interest in the decision Is heightened by
very strong dissenting opinion read by
Mr.. Justice White, in which the chief JUS
tice, Mr.. Justice Harlan and Mr.. Justice
Brewer united. Their judgment was that
the decision of the court tended Ito put the
patentee in a position. where, without in
ventiOn on his part and without the pos
session by him Of lawful letters patent. he
is allowed to exact tribute from the steel
and iron making industry whenever those
engaged in such industry desire to increase
their plants or to more conveniently and
satisfactorily conduct their operations"
According to the dissenting opinion this
attitude accords identically with the pre-
vious holdings of the patent office.
So many important questions at law, the
prominence of the two concerns at issue,
and the large financial interests at stake
produced an array Of legal talent as coun-
sci which has rarely been surpassed even
In the Supreme Court. Those who appeared
for the Carnegie Company were former
Speaker Thomas B. Reed, the present At
torney General, Mr.. P. c. Knox; Mr.. T. B.
Kerr and Mr.. T. w. Blackwell. Against
them were opposed Mr.. James I. Kay. Mr..
Philip T. Dodge and Mr.. F. T. Chambers.
The argument was long and exhaustive,
and is regarded by patent lawyers as hav-
ing been as ample and lucid an exposition
Of American patent law as has ever been

Condition of Newark Street,

Georgetown precinct, in which he says COM
plant has recently been made concerning
the condition Of Newark street between 31st
and $50 streets, Cleveland Park. The lieu
tenant says persons driving from the east
or west on Newark street, who are not ac-
quainted with the condition Of the street at
that point. frequently find themselves in a
pocket, so to speak. and many times get
out with considerable difficulty. Lieut..
Swindells thinks 1t would be for the public
interest II distractions with warning signs
were placed on Newark street on both sides
of the deep ravine, far enough removed
therefrom to prevent persons with vehicles
becoming liable to accidents.
