LEGAL ACTION IN

News was received from New York
yesterday that Chief Justice Fuller Of
the United States supreme court had
issued a permanent injunction against
the DeForest Wireless Telegraph conf

of the United States circuit court last

questions involved, and sustained Mar

it is said seems TO be finally decisive of
the relative rights of the rival inventors.
From the same source of information
comes that Circuit Judge Leeomb has
issued an order for arrest against Abra-
ham White, president of the DeForest
Wireless Telegraph company and the
United States marshal has been ordered
to attach his person.
Litigation over the respective rights of
inventors in the field OF wireless teegra-
ply promised to be as fruitful of delay as
the long contested telephone cases, but
this decision of Justice Fuller and its
prompt execution by the officers of the
court seems to promise a speedy conclu-
sion of the whole question.

the color scheme of the club-old gold and
royal purple The club room was neatly
adorned with Howard and Psi pennants,
and some novel effects were rendered
by paper and also by a number of very
pretty sofa pillows. The spacious Frank
lin hall was gaily festooned and brill
liantly lighted and formed the general
ground of rendezvous
Upon arrival each guest was presented
with neat little programme done in
royal purple, with old gold pencils at
tached Next one sauntered into Franklin
hall and found no difficulty in getting
his card filed with a charming partner
for each number, of which the orchestra
rendered about twenty.
About / o'clock delightful refreshments
were served consisting OF ice cream and
cake. Fruit in abundance was to be had
on every hand during the whole evening.
The Psis proved themselves efficient
hosts and their reception has added
pleasant chapter to their bright record
which will be long remembered by all who
shared their hospitality.
While refreshments were being served
dainty little Psi pennants were pinned
on each guest by Mrs. A. d. Smith, as
sisted by Mrs. Moore.
