Mr.. Lilley Calls on the Naval Score
tary for Information.

Representative Lilley of Connecticut has
introduced a resolution calling on the
Secretary Of the Navy to inform the
House Of Representatives of the physical
condition at the present time Of the vari-
Gus submarine torpedo boats owned by
the United States government, together
with full information of reports relating
to the performance Of each submarine,
accidents thereto and repairs thereon.
Mr.. Lilley said, replying to a question
as to the intent of his resolution:
Il introduce it with the idea OF putting
the House of Representatives in posses
sion of the actual facts relating to the
submarine boats built for the government
by the Holland Boat Company and its
successor. the Electric Boat Company, 50
that when the time comes the members
of the House may vote intelligently on
my earlier resolution for the appointment
of special committee to investigate the
methods used by the Electric Boat Com
pany to procure legislation in Congress.
Il am informed that the dozen or so
submarines purchased from the Holland
Boat Company by the government are
practically all sick abed-broken down.

Inquiry Into the Building In

Resolutions received by Chairman Smith

resolutions came from Sam De Nedrey,
secretary Of the union. After reviewing
the many rumors Of irregularities in cir
culation with respect to the building in
spectors office and declaring that citi-
zen's association which attempted to as
certain the facts was rfdiculed by En-
gineer Commissioner Morrow, the resolu-
tons say:
Whether the charges be true or false,
in our opinion the ever-present distrust
in public officials Is thereby augmented
faithful officials embarrassed, contempt
for law engendered, government by Com
missioners discredited. the capital of the
nation held up for ridicule and Congress
made more reluctant to appropriate sums
of money to be expended by officials who
are under alleged unanswered charges
and therefore an investigation is neces-
sary.
Resolved. that the attention Of Con-
gress be called to these alleged unfor-
tuEate conditions, with the request that

Statement by the Commissioner.

The commissioner or patents, discussing
the scandal, said:
EARLY in February evidence was laid
before the Secretary of the Interior tend
ing to show that fraudulent acts had been
committed in the prosecution and pro-
curement of a patent. The Secretary
Immediately brought the matter to the
attention of the commissioner of patents,
who thereupon appointed committee of
investigation, and ordered it to make a
searching inquiry into the circumstances
leading up to the grant of the patent in
question, and report the results to him
The report of that committee is now in
possession of the commissioner. 1t finds
in substance, that by the connivance Of
an employe of the patent Office matter
that was not in the application for the
patent at date of filing was unlawfully
introduced subsequently during it's prose-
cution. thereby laying foundation for
claims to an invention not disclosed in
the application when 1t was filed
THE effect of such an act is to estab-
lish false date of invention much ear
Her than the true date thereof. and thus
enable the patentee to dominate and con-
troll all inventions falling within the
scope Of the claims of the patent that
were made after the filing date of the
application for that patent, even though
in fact, they may have been made earlier
than the invention covered by those
claims

warrant their presentation before the

Fails in Examination.

although Mr.. Barton took the civil
service examination for his position as
examiner in the patent Office, he failed
to pass. However. he was rerated and
accepted by the patent office at the mini
mum standard. owing to the great need Of
technically trained men in the Office by
reason of the great number OF resigna-
tons OF examiners occurring yearly who
go out and into the employ Of large COR
porations and established law firms at
double. and oftentimes treble, the salary
they receive as examiners.
1.-THE patent Office has been for years
unsuccessfuly trying to compete with
large moneyed corporations for the serv-
ices of technically educated men. and has
been forced to accept, of late years es-
pecially, men of a less desirable class,
who have been appointed whenever men
could be found who possessed even a fair
technical education and were willing, by
reasc& ~ being out o. employment. to
