The manufacturers who have banded
together and who are now dominated
by the victorious New Jerseymen are
Essanay and the Vitograph Company,
of New York; Selig & Co, and Kalen,
of Chicago; S. Lubin, of Philadelphia.
and Pathe and Melliers, of p ,ris. The
two latter French firms have done an
enormous business.
All of these firms in the combination
have heretofore reaped million IN
profits from what are now regarded
both by the courts and in tf .ins
OF the agreement with Mr. Edison, to
be- the patents of the Wizard of Elec-
triety
When Mr.. Edison was apprised of
the news from Buffalo today he handed
the telegram to his Wife. His only
comment was:
II am pleased most because l have
been vndicated in a fight of nine
years for what is now proven beyond
all doubt to be my own invention"
Frank J.. Dyer personal representa-
tive of Thomas A. Edison, said to an
EVENING STAR reporter today before
leaving for Washington:
Mr. Edison is greatly pleased, not
so much at the amounts of his royal
ties, which will be princely, but from
the enforced recognition of the fact
that he is not only the creator, but
the undisputed leader IN the art Of
moving picture machines.
There is absolutely no amalgana-
II On between the moving picture ma
chino manufacturers and Mr.. Edison.
Mr. edison stands alone The manu-
facturers in the amalgamation have
agreed to take licenses from Mr.. Edi-
son and pay him royalties. This nc
tion was induced in all probability from
the fact that the Edison moving pic
ture patents were sustained by the
courts of New York"
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-02-11

The legal battles of Edison with tne
manufacturers have dragged through
the courts for the past nine years The
recent favorable findings of the New
York courts, in which the claims of
Edison We're fully upheld against the
manufacturers, undoubtedly led to the
formation of the new combination.
In addition to the manufacturing and
show places the combination win con-
troll over 100 rental places where films
are leased. The manufacturers excuse
their combination on the ground that
without the Edison patents they would
be helpless and the amalgamation is
justified for the purpose of protecting
the new and constantly increasing in
yestments. both in this and every civil
lied county in the world.
The story of how Edison forced the
manufacturers to come TO him is told
in the enormous royalties which he
has forced from them. When the
courts OF New York handed down their
findings for Edison meeting of the
manufacturers was held and the conn
bination was determined upon, in order
that they might gain terms from the
inventor and thus conserve their vast
interests, invested in the trade The
proposition was accordingly made to
Mr.. Edison, and he dictated terms
which meant that each company could
receive q license from him. in consid-
Grafton of the royalties that aggregate
$200,0 900 per year.
Following in Edison's footsteps. the
trust will now demand that operators
of all moving picture machines must
procure licenses from the combination
to do business.
The celebration of the inventors s
birthday will be held at I<rueger's
Auditorium here tonight. when Mr..
Edison will attend the second annual
banquet rendered him by the heads of
the departments of his work shops.

ROSWELL MAN SEEING
SIGHTS OF QUEBEC.

QueDeC, Sdu., July 10, 19US.
Here we are almost to the farthest
northeastern point of the American
continent, out of the Jurisdiction of
King Edward. The city of Quebec
is in a class of itself. Th~ree-fourths
of it's inhabitants are either French
o. French Canadians. The balance is
made up of English, Scotch and Irish,
cry few Germans, with a spTinkling
of Chinese and Greeks. The police
and other city officials are all French.
Being total strangers in the city we
tried on a number of occasions to
get ONE information from police
men, but the only answer to our
query was, mo understan Ingliss."
Today has been a great day here.
The Prince of Wales arrived here yes
terday amidst the booming of a thou
and Our latest created war
ship the New Hampshire, was lying
in h harbor alongside Of the Eng
fish and French war ships, and we
were all proud to see this handsome
white creation among the other SOM
bre gray looking fighters.
The parade today was a magnif-
cent affair. Aside from b $4,000 reg
ulars and Canada militia, there were
some 5000 people in line represent
ing Quebec's early history, King Fran
els the First and his court, the ladies
of the court all dressed in the highest
colors of silks, satin and v%elVets, In
dams, sailors,-and the most spectac-
ular of all, Champlain and the crew
OF the Don de Dieu,-of course the
Prince of Wales being the main at
traction of all. Our own Vice Prest-
dent Fairbanks received a great deal
of applause.
Always having the good of Roswell
in mind, l extended a very pressing
invitation to the Prince of Wales to
come to the Pecos Valley before re-
turning across the waters, and he an
swered that he would if time permit
ted. / have given him some personal
Introduction letters to most of our
real estate men. So tell the boys to
have their autos and other rigs clean
ed I'D well and show him all the at
tention they car. I told him all about
our big apple orchards and our five
and six crops of alfalfa, and he got
much interested, and I believe
he might invest I don't think he
would give up his job as Prince, but
1t would help the Valley to have the
Prince own some of its fertile soil
he would be quite an acqui-
sition to society.
