/ county court and the case will undoubt-
eddy be an interesting one.
Trustees under the will of Thomas
Thompson asked Judge Hammond in the
Massachusetts, supreme court for instruc.
tions as 10 their discretionary powers in
the use of the income of fund of
81 zoo, 900, which he left for the relief of
poor seamstresses, needlewomen and
shop girls in Brattieboro and in Rhine
1 beck, N. Y. Thompson, who lived in
/ New York, died forty years ago, leaving
considerable real estate and other proper
ty in Massachusetts,. The fund has
grown since his death, and the annual in
come is about $4,000. The size of the
| fund has been temptation to the extent
that the belief has grown there that any
person, by becoming a sewing woman or
shop girl, is entitled, as of right, to
money aid from the fund. Thompson's
will gave the trustees discretion in dis
posing of the income. They have been
managing the fund for seven years, and
the income is far in excess of what they
have found should be expended for the
support and relief of shop girls and
needlewomen in those places. For
year in 1906 and 1907, S4,546 was spent
in that way for Brattleboro women, out

protective society. Their lawyer was in
court He claimed that the trustees were
not generous enough with the girls and
were altogether too technical in granting

I claimed that the trustees ought to build
and maintain an old ladies' home and al
! low shop girls and needlewomen in Brat

ment.
Injunction Against Separators.
| The United States circuit court for the
4 southern district of New York has issued
an Injunction against Sears, Roe5uck 4
4 Co. of Chicago, preventing their selling
the infringing separator known the
ECONOMY" and s'The Improved Econo-
my" This injunction prohibits the COM
pany from selling or advertising for sale
these infringing separators. The ruling
I of the United States court states that the
patent, which was infringed belongs to
the Vermont Farm Machinery Co. of Bel
lows Falls, and to the Empire Separator
Co. of Bloomfield, \. j.
The xuling of the United States court
on this patent was broad, and not only
Z
infringement, but also holds that each
and every user of these infringing separa-
tors is equally liable. In other words,
every farmer in the United States who
bought and uses one of these Economy
cream separators is liable for infringe
ment, and the only way for them to avoid
being implicated in this case and laying
themselves liable TO violation of the Unit
ed States court injunction is to at once
discontinue the use of these infringing
separators.
1t is said that no user of these machines
need think they can escape being found
out, because one of the sections in the
ruling of the United States court reads as
folIows:-"0rdered, adjudged and de-
creed that it be referred to Samuel NJ.
Hitchcock, Esq, one of the masters of
this court, TO ascertain, take, state and re-
port to this court an account of the num-
Der of all centrifugal separating apparatus
and parts thereof made, used or sold by
the said defendant and its confederates in
infringement of each or any of the said
claims of said letters patent and to whom
sold and at what price,
1t will be seen by this section that the
concerns owning these patents, through
ruling of the court, will know exactly
who have bought these infringing ma
chimes from Sears, Roebuck q Co.
Retail merchants who have been selling
the Iowa Dairy Separator Co.'S machines
have occasion to look out that they, too,
are not implicated in this matter.
