EDISON RAPs PATENT OFFICE.
Declares That Its Methods Are Lax
and Illegal

dispatch from West Orange, n. j., says:
Thomas A. Edison severely criticised the
patent office, declaring that much of the
examining of applications for patents was
done by men who were incompetent, and
that loose methods prevailed. These re-
marks were made by Mr.. Edison in discuss
ing the order of President Roosevelt that
the patent office grant a hearing on the
charge made by Mr.. Edison that an appli-
cant for a patent on an improvement
to electric storage battery mad been
allowed to withdraw the application and
embody in it some features which Mr..
Edison says belongs to his new storage
battery. Mr.. Edison's attorneys called
on the commissioner of patents, Mr..
Allen, to explain how two of his examiners
happened to allow such a thing, and. it Is
said Mr.. Allen did not give the inventor
much satisfaction Mr.. Edison then ap-
piled directly to President Roosevelt, who
on April directed that hearing should
be held. In telling what had happened after
he had made his protest to the commits
sioner Mr.. Edison said:
THAT commissioner just looked the mat
ter up in his own way, and then We heard
that there wouldn't be any hearing. This
isn't the first time we've been up against it
examinations are conducted and the things
l have had to put up with. / never COM
planned before, but this time we took the
matter to President Roosevelt and he has
ordered a hearing.
Now, just to give you an instance of the
way they do things up there at the patent
office: In this case had applied for a
patent covering improvement to an cleo
trical storage battery. They took a couple
of young fellows out of the bottle depart
ment and set them to looking up a highly
technical matter. They will go and take a
young man out of the bottle department or
the collar button department and set him
to examining applications for patents on
wireless teegraphy or some such thing, and
we the sufferers.
Some fellow goes there with an applica-
ton and files it. Then he wants to get
something added to 1t. He gets sharp
lawyer, and they talk these young exami-
ners to DEATH and induce them to hand
back the application papers, so they can
make the additions if they WISH
Mr.. Edison asked If he did not think
that the fact that the President had taken
the case up would result in an improvement
in the attitude of the commissioner. He
smiled.
why, say, that commissioner isn't afraid
of the Supreme Court, let alone the Presi-
dent and l, for one, am not trying to insti-
tute any reforms in the patent office We
are all sorry this has leaked out and we
don't want to do anything which will an
tagonize these people any further"
Mr.. Edison said he didn't charge dishon-
esty on the part of any one but he did
charge incompetency and lax methods and
actual violation of the law.

state that there is no basis for such COM
putation. Long-continued and further
heavy exports of gold they maintain must
result in firmer money rates and this, in
view of the comparative ease of money
abroad, would result in the drawing of
long sterling exchange or loan bills In

suit of inordinate gold exports an auto

CHECK DUCK RANCHES
ntAL1h CUMMIiltE REPORTS
on WAIKIKI ESTABLISHMENTS
COMPLAINT OF ALA MoANA RES.
IpENTS JUSTIFIED - NEW
REGUlATiONS-D
CONDEMNED.

AT the meeting OF the Board OF
Health held yesterday afternoon the
following report of the committee on
duck ranches was read:
Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the complaint of certain resi-
dents along the Ala Moana road beg
leave to report as follows:
The majority of the duck ranches in
the Waikiki district drain through
ponds either into the Piinao stream or
into stream which runs makai and
discharges into the sea. by the wooden
bridge on the Ala Moana road. Both
Of these streams are very sluggish and
contain quite little vegetation.
In the Waikiki district there are fif-
~ -one duck ranches, with approxi-
mately 10,2S0 ducks and II can be cas-
lily seen that there will be large
amount Of filth from such number of
iucks. This filth, after communicating
the ponds and streams is gradually
washed down upon the beach at Wal
kiki or into the lagoon mauka of the
Ala Moana road.
Your committee also found that IL
was the custom of some of the duck
owners to drive their ducks to the
beach along the Ala Moana road and
allow them to feed at low tide.
Having found. upon Investigation that
the complaint of the residents along
the Ala Moana road was justifable
your committee took up the question
Of how to remedy the same.
We-would recommend that permits
to keep ducks be issued to those hay
ing duck ranches mauka OF the Waikiki
road, also makai of that road and Wal
kiki of the Kalia road, only upon con-
dition that the owners put their places
In sanitary condition. by cleaning their
ponds and yards, putting in gates that
will allow free flow of water in and
out OF the ponds and that the number
of ducks they be allowed to keep shall
rot exceed one duck to every 100 square
feet of land and water.
They would further recommend that
the lagoon mauka of the Ala Moana
road and Eva of the Piinao stream be
condemned as nuisance and danger
to the public health and the parties
owning or leasing the same be ordered
to either fill 1t up or drain II. Further
that no permit to keep ducks be grant
ed to All Chew and Lee Sue and that
they be given 30 days in which to dis
pose Of their ducks.
Your committee while investigating
the conditions at Waikiki and Kalia
had their attention called to a num-
Der Of duck ponds OF Sheridan street,
and an examination was made of these.
All of these ponds were found to be In
q very insanitary condition and your
committee would strongly recommend
that the same be condemned and that
the parties raising ducks In these
ponds be given 80 days In which to
dispose of the same.
They would also recommend that the
parties who have been in the habit OF
feeding their ducks along the Ala Mo-
ana beach be notified to discontinue
the same.

WILL ESTABLISH
 DIVERSIFIED FARM
PROFESSOR SPlLLMAN TO BE IN CHARGE OF GOVERNMENT FIX. TREATMENT, WHICH WILL BE MADE NEAR uNIoNToWN.

Uniontown, March 10.-Speclal. )-Farm- ing interests in this section are far ad- vanced for this season. A great deal of corn has been planted and some cotton. The farmers genrally are in better con- dition and better spirits than they have been for many years. Professor Shillman, agrostologist of the United States Agri- cultural Department had very enthusi- astic meeting here last week. which was attended by men from Marion, Greensboro, Demopolis and neighboring sections.
 He arranged to establish a diversified farm of fifty acres under government su- pervision on the plantation of MT. William Munford, who is one of the most success ful farmers of the canebrake. The national department has already sent here the finest improved cotton seed, alfalfa seed, corn, oats and other grains for spring sowing, and seed for winter pasturage. The products of the farm, with the ex- ception of ten acres in cotton. are to be used in raising fine hogs. A dairy farm will also probably be established under the supervision of Professor Spillman, which will be a private enterprise.
