American Graphopnone Co. Wins.

The United States circuit court of appeals
in New York has just handed down three
decisions which are regarded as of great
interest to the talking machine trade and
very far-reaching in their consequences.
The two companies engaged in the manu-
facture of disc sound records, the American
Graphophone Company, makers of Column
bia records and the Victor Talking Ma
chine Company, which manufactures Victor
records, have both sought to obtain control
of the business under the patents respec-
lively owned by them.
After long litigation the court, by unan-
imous decision, has sustained the graphic
phone company's patent and given II
broad construction, SO as to cover all disc
records as now made in this country, and
in a separate decision has held that the
material used in Columbia records does not
infringe the Victor patent.
The effect of the decision is said to be to
give the American Graphophone Company
complete control of the manufacture and
sale of disc sound records In the United
States The Victor company has secured a
license under this patent.

ADDITION TO FLEET.
New Revenue Cutter Launched at
Tompkins Cove

The hull for the new revenue cutter An
droscoggin, which was built at the Tomp-
kins Cove, n. Y, shipyard, was launched
with appropriate ceremonies Wednesday
last Miss Frye White, a granddaughter of
Senator Frye of Maine, giving the vessel its
name as It glided from the stocks into the
water. The new ship when completed will
be with one exception the largest in the rev.
enue cutter service and is designed for duty
on the coast of Maine. The hull is of wood
and she will be a single> screw propeller
ship of 1870 tons displacement Her
length will be 210 feet, beam b feet 2
inches, and her maximum draft will be Is
feet. Within the next day or two the new
hull Will leave Tompkins Cove. in tow of
the cutter Onondaga, for Wilmington. Del.
where her machinery will be installed by
the Pussy & Jones Company. who built the
engines and boilers. 1t is expected the new
cutter will be ready to go into commission
about June l and will then take up her du-
ties on the coast of Maine relieving the
cutter Woodbury. at Portland.
Capt William H. Gushing was the in
spector In charge of the construction of the
Androscoggin hull at Tompkins Cove.
Among those from this city who witnessed
the launching of the vessel were the Misses
Shaw, the daughters of Secretary Shaw;
Mrs. Worth G. Ross. Mrs. p. H. Cberroth
and Capt. Worth G. Ross, chief of the reve-
nue. cutter service; Engineer-in-chief C. A.

MEETING OF BURT CAMP.
Spanish War Veterans Honor Memory
of Lee.

The centennial anniversary of the birth
Of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the great confed-
crate chieftain was celebrated Friday even
ing at a melting of Gen. Andrew S. Burt
Camp of the United Spanish War Veterans,
at Costello's Hall. Several of the members
of the camp who wore the Union blue in
the war with Spain are sons OF the men in
gray who followed the fortunes OF Gen.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson In the COS.
Tribute was paid to the memory of Lee
by Camp Commander George Marin, S. c.
DufYey, Virginian, and others. On motion
of William A. Hickey, the camp took up the
question of the closer relationship of mill
tary and patriotic organizations and favored
the idea enunciated by Gen. Burt for united
effort on the part of all soldier bodies in
bringing before the national and state con-
crosses the question of a preference clause
for civil employment for all honorably die
charged soldiers, sailors and marines who
have rendered faithful and honorable serv-
ice to the United States government.

rounded by arcs of 800 feet radius, and the
avenues are curved around the square with

essential, but they seem to be very i'm
