Final arguments We're heard today by
Judge Cross, in the United States Cir
cult Court, in the Federal building, in
the long and bitterly contested case of
the Bethlehem Steel Company against
the Bement- Pond Company, of New
York, over what is known as the Tay-
White process of hardening tool
steel.
For five years the case has been
pending. testimony having been taken in
many parts of the country and IL Eu-
rope. The printed record of the case
covers more than 5000 pages. The
brief of the defendants counsel covers
$50 printed pages, and that of the com
plainant's counsel $50 pages.
The complainant alleges that the
process invented by Frederick w. Tay-
lor and Maunsel White was patented
and assigned to the Bethlehem Steel
Company. and that since then the
Bement-Pond Company makers OF
tools. has been infringing on the
process.
The Bement- Pond Company declares
that the Taylor White process of
hardening tool steel is nothing more
than bringing the steel to a white heat
and then plunging it into a cold sub
stance, and that the process had been
in general use everywhere for many
years before the patent was granted
and that, therefore, the process was
not patentable

wife of Detective Sergeant Patrick
Joseph Farrell, of police headquarters,
figured before Judge Heisley and jury
today in the trial of an action for $4,000

1t was while Mrs. Farrell was trying
to alight from trolley car at Walnut
and Adams streets, March Z, 1907, that
she was hurt.
She had reached the rear platform,
she stated. when the car jerked vio-
lently back and forth and threw her
off into the street.
Besides the injuries to the eyes and
her nervous system, Mrs. Farrell claims
that she sustained severe internal In
juries.
DIR. Frank Devlin, the family physi-
clan, testified to the medical examina-
ton he made, but admitted on the
cross-examination by Howard Mac
Sherry, counsel for the company, that
the symptoms were wholly subjective.
There were no marks or abrasions on
her body, he said. and he was not sure
whether he treated her for her eyes.
Detective Farrell at the same time Is
seeking to recover $1,000 for the loss
of his wffe's services.
Joseph A. Beecher is counsel for
both. The trolley company claims that

PLAN TO RAISE
CASH FOR OGDEN
Licenses to Be Increased and
Saloons to Be Closed Sun
days and at Midnight.

Present indications are that Ogden will
become something OF a closed town with
IN short time. Instead of increasing the
general taxation as a solution of the city
finance problem, saloons, gambling halls
and the like are to be compelled to pay
a higher license and other places that
heretofore nave been exempt from Ii
cense will be forced to pay. This has
been decided upon by the mayor and
members OF the council who have been
debating the matter for some time. The
order which Will soon go out will affect
Saloons gambling halls, card games, drug
stores and soda fountains. 1t has been
further decided that all saloons must
close at midnight and remain closed all
day Sunday. Drug stores will be COM
pelled 10 pay d license and soda foun-
tain owners if caught selling liquor will
De assessed A,AO, the same fee as paid
Dy saloons for years license.
Last evening Mayor Brewer met with
the council for the second time within
a week to discuss these matters. This
followed the sending of a list of rec
concentrations to the council at its last
meeting. While much has been decided
upon at these conferences the end is not
yet and subsequent meetings will be held
to complete the work.
Unusual reticence is being observed by
those who have participated in the DELHI
erations. Mayor Brewer and several of
the councilmen refused to talk on the SUBJ
ject after last nights meeting. 1t is un-
derstood however, that the way the mat
ter Is now lined up is:
Saloons will close at Il midnight and all
day Sunday.
Saloon license increased from 500 to
81, 200 per annum.
Gambling hall license increased from
800 to 1929 per month.
Card games 500 instead of $50 a month.
Drug store license $500 a year, and wheE
liquor is consumed on the PREMISES IL
cense fee wiz be the same as saloons,
81 200 per annum.
In soda fountains selling of liquor will
be absolutely prohibited. If order is vio-
lated 81, 200.
Persons caught selling liquor TO minors
or violating any ordinances governing sa-
looms. will have their license revoked
without further notice.
