GRANTING OF TRADEMARKS
Ruling of the Commissioner of Pat
ents Criticised.

Il wish to make decided criticism Of the
practice OF the United States patent office t"
was the opening declaration of former As
sistant Commissioner of Patents Arthur p
Greey before the House committee on pat
ents today. The basis of this criticism fol-
lowed Immediately in the statement that
since the passage of the new trademark
act by the last Congress, there had Leen
filed 15.737 applications for trademarks
with filing fees aggregating S157 $40 during
the first nine months under the new law
or an increase of about $l25,oO0 over any
previous year. OF this large increa sed
number of applications but 409O trade
marks had been granted
The trouble was stated 20 be in an entire
ly new ruling by the commissioner to the
effect that a separate application must be
filed for each article in any class of mer-
chandise. For instance If a dealer in cut
lery wishes trademark covering his
goods he must take out a separate trade
mark each article. This separate appIi-
cation calls for an additional fee. The
hardship, it was stated, did not come so
much in this country as when the applica-
ton was made in a foreign country, where
the fees We're greater and where they have
to be repeated exactly according to the
practice here According to Mr.. Greedy,
there is no justification in law for this rul-
ing, and legislation is sought to restore Tie
former method of classification

Representative Nathan Hale, one of the
two republican members of the Tennessee
delegation In the House has decided to

partmental rulings and civil service regu-
latfons in general have virtually taken out
of the hands of republican members the
congressional perquisites which have here
tofore belonged to them. Mr.. Hale's de-
cision to retire was also influenced by the
fact that there has been usurpation by the
executive department especially by the
Post Office Department, of little appoint
ments which until the last year or so have
been conceded to members of the dominant
party, thereby leaving the republican mem

DESAUSSURE'S CASE CLOSED
Lieut.. Bookwalter's Addres in Behalf
of the Accused-Board to Ad-
journ for Two Weeks.
'EsAUSsURE'S CASE CLOSED

ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 81. - At the
opening of the court-martial this morning
the Judge advocate read letter from Su-
per!ntendent Sands, In which Capt. c. P.
Rees, president Of the court, was excused
from duty temporarily. and Commander
Valentine s. Nelson, the member next in
rank, was assigned as president. Capt Rees
has been called to Portland. Me. by the
death of a son, his only child.
The proceedings of yesterday In the case of
Midshipman George H. Melvin were ap-
proved.
Lieut.. C. S. Bookwalter U. S. N, ad-
dressed the court in behalf of Midshipman
Richard L. Desaussure. In opening, he
called attention to the fact that in 1891
seven midshipmen had been convicted of
hazing under the act of 1874 and had been
sentenced to receive demerits, confinement
and other penalties less than dismissal.
Lieut.. Bookwalter called attention to the
exceedingly moderate nature of the hazing
proved to have been committed by Desaus-
sure, and asked that If the accused should
be found guilty, that there should be a
recommendation of clemency to the review
ing authority.
Al 1850 the court closed for the consider
alton of verdict.
Upon the conclusion of the trial Of Mid
shipman Desaussure the court took up the
case or MldShlpman William L. Boyd, jr.,
of Peoria, H., member of the. second
class. Midshipman Boyd chose to exercise
the right of defending himself in propria
persona.
Board to Adjourn for Two Weeks
1t was announced that when the trial of
Midshpman Boyd has been finished the
court-martal which has been trying cases
of haZing here will adjourn for a period of
about two weeks. The court will take this
course, as it is found that the continuance
of the sessions of the court and the conse-
quent attendance of number of midship-
men as witnesses Is likely to interfere Sc
riously with the examinations which begin
today.
If the sessions We're continued the court
would also be without the aid of it's presi-
dent Capt Corwin p. Rees who has been
called to his home, Portland Me. by the
sudden death of his only son, which oc-
CURED yesterday. Great sympathy is felt
for Capt. Rees. His son was a very prom
ising youth and expected to enter the Ma
val Academy next year.
The details of his death are not known
here, except that 1t occurred while he was
under the influence of chloroform 1t is
not known why it was administered. The
prospective adjournment of the court-mar-
tfal is particularly pleasing to the members
of the first class as it will insure the fact
that all of them who have not been tried
so far Will graduate, even if they subse-
quenUy have to face charges
