BIG FIGHT over
PATENTS OF CHAIR
'owa Manufacturers Interested
in Outcome of Morris Chair
Law Suit.

Des Moines, Ia. Aug. 2l.--The fed
eral court of Iowa is to see a big fight
over the patents of the Morris chair.
Dispositions are now being taken in this
city and the federal court probably at
the next term will hear the case.
The Morris chair, which proved SO
popular and has given comfort to un-
told millions OF weary souls, originally
had no patent. 1t was invented for its
simplicity and the back OF the chair
was adjustable by the person seated in
1t getting up and going around behind
the chair to relmove a cross bar that
rested in notches In a back extension
of the arms.
But American genius was not con-
tent with this arrangement and as far
back as 1887 a patent was taken out on
q device for adjusting the back with
cut the person seated getting up. Since
then there have been many patents
on various forms OF the device. Kelly
Bros. secured a patent or a device such
that the person seated in the chair a
only to brace himself and push back
and the back would adjust itself.
Then Henry Lannigan improved upon
h patent. Kelly Bros. claim the i'm
provement is an infringement on their
patent. Big Grand Rapids. Mich, fur
niture factories are awaiting the out
come of the suit for they are under
contract to manufacture the Lannigan
chair II the suit is m his favor. West
ern furniture manufacturers, one in
Clinton, Ia, and others farther west
are interested in the same way.

Peace was the keynote OF all the
post prandial speeches. In regard to
the San Francisco Japanese trouble
Ishii said:
"Fooish talk of wal because of spor-
adic disturbances is not the sentiment
Of Japan. Thinking. responsible per-
sons in Japan understand that the San
Francisco Hooligan who throws stones
or insults offensive subjects of Japan
Ices not voice the sentiment Of the
American people"
Secretary Stratus spoke of labor and
his good Impressions of the Hawaiian
islands, He also asserted that among
the better element true friendship ex-
lists between Japan and America.

INCL SAM MAY
RUN THE BIG FAIR

Washington. Aug. A.-Uncle Sam
may become a g~atekeeper Mt the James
town exposition this week. He mater
ially assisted financing the undertake
ing, but has been unable to get his
money back according to the agree
ment. Assistant Secretary of the
Treasurer Edwards is how upon the
grounds in conference with those in
charge and unless some definite as
surances can be given that the INSTALL
ment payments will be made on the
government loan, he may place repre-
sentatives at the gates to lake charge
of the receipts.
Patience has been exhausted waiting
for some evidence to be shown of a se-
rious intention to reimburse the gov
eminent. BY act of congress 81, 600, 900
was advanced by the treasury to aid
in the opening of the fair.
Weather and other conditions were
adverse at the beginning, and delay In
Installing exhibits kept many visitors
away. Taking into consideration the
obstacles encountered, Secretary of the
Treasury C%ortelyou, who desired to do
all he could to promote the success of
the undertaking, gave the exposition
people more time for payment. The Of
,ficials of the treasury are now forced
to take measures to protect the goy-

WORLDWIDE STRIKE
is NOW THREATENED

Chicago, Aug. 21.-A worldwide
te~legraphers' strike is imminent. 1t
has not been generally known. but it
developed at a late our asst night that
the officers of the Commercial Tel
egraphers' Union of America have been
carrying on negotiations for more than
a year with the Telegrapher Clerks
association Of England with a view Of
bringing about a working alliance be-
tween the English and American tele-
graphers. They have so far succeeded
that sympathetic action in the pres
ent strike is assured. Any attempt to
man the American cable stations at
Canso, North Sydney, and Hearts Con-
tent, Nova Scotia. will result in the re-
fusal of English operators to handle
cablegramS from America.
The inevitable consequence of this
action would be the forcing of the Eng
lish companies to use all the means
within their power to insure transmits
sion of the messages.
Should the British end of the trans
Atlantic cables be manned by non
union men the action would be sure to
precipitate a general strike Of all the
t~elegraphers in England.
That the strike would then extend to
the European continent and spread
over the entire world is certain.

of $500 for his appearance before the
magistrate.
