How Hanks got his job is an inter.

class OF 70 at Harvard, Roosevelt TO
that of 80. They were the champion
boxers OF their classes and met in an
interclass championship affair. Hanks
knocked down the future president.
After getting through college Roose-

Ut is queer idea James Wilson has.
in this day OF graft, with respect to
the duty of an inventor who uses gov
eminent time and materials, toward
that government He holds that what
ever the man invents should be pat
ented for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie and be given to them for their use
without price.
Up in the army and navy when an
officer who has been paid for his time
and has used government materials
and laboratories to perfect an inven-
ton II is the custom for the officer to
give the free use OF his invention to
the government, II the government as
an organization desires to use his pat
ent. If It does not--and they usually
see to II that II does not-the inventor
is held TO be at liberty to sell his In
vention to firm or corporation which
will use 1t and compel the government
to pay royalties.
That is the exact condition with re-
spect to the smokeless powder used
by the navy. The patent Is owned by
a naval officer. The navy department
has the right to use the patent, but 1t
refuses to do so. So the oiicer has
transferred the patent to the powder
trust, which exacts 20 cents a pound
for powder which reliable powder
makers will contract to furnish for not
to exceed 40 cents n pound. II per-
mitted to use the patent worked out
on the time OF the government and
with the materials belonging to the
government.

free patents II the inventor will allow
the government to use the invention

NEGRO BUYS HOME NEAR
ENRAGED MILLIONAIRES

FASHIONABLE Washington is agog
i over the purchase of home in one
OF the most exclusive sections of the
city by Alonzo Ware, negro. Ware
started to move into his new home,
1856 T street, but was enjoined. The
matter is now awaiting hearing on Its
merits, and extensive real estate hold
ers will make an effort to have the In
junction made permanent.
John NJ. Henderson sold the house
to James f. Leath for $4,000. Leath,
a white man, said he was soon to mar
~ and wanted home. After the deal
was closed Leath turned over the title
to Ware for $40, and 1t is now alleged
that Ware was the real principal in
the transaction. Henderson owns
100000 worth of property in the imme-
date neighborhood. he says. and has
