LETTER SENT BY WIFE

LII SEN w If
Mrs. Kernan's letter follows
Pardon me for any trouble l may
occasion, but l am anxious to learn if
Douglas j. Herman has filed an appli-
cation in your courts for divorce
from his wife. Jessie NJ. Herman. If
he has done so will you please inform
me and give me the name of the judge
in whose department the case will be
heard
L. the writer, am the wife he has
deserted for a woman of notorious
character of Washington, d. C. She
is married woman and has caused
her husband to be confined in an
asylum to have him put out of the
way She has gained control of his
money and has persuaded my husband
to go west and both be divorced. Her
name is Julia Gutekurst. She has
been married three times and from
what l can learn her husbands are all
living.
WOMAN BRANDED AS LEADER
while l am not excusing my hus-
bands actions, the woman in this case
is a thoroughly bad one and is the
prime mover in this western trip. I
am not sure that divorce proceedings
have been filed in Oakland. This ac-
tion may have been taken, or is 10 be
taken. in San Francisco or somewhere
in Nevada.
MY husband can not get a divorce
in any state in the union unless he
swears TO what is false. 1t is his in
tention not to notify me of the pro-
ceedings, and in consequence he could
say anything he should see fit.
My husband and Julia Gutekurst
left Washington February % of this
year for the west, and legally they
have not been residents of any place
long enough TO apply for divorces.
They are two bad, wicked people. All
information you can give me concern
ing the couple will be appreciated. 1

police of a regulation Wild West hod-up in the
heart of the lower East Side
Alissario appeared at headquarters accompanied
by Arturo Tight, seventeen years old an assistant
clerk in the employ of Guarini. The latter
ducts a bank. a drug store and a branch postofice
at the New Bowery address. To Inspector McCaf-
ferty Alissario described how only hour before
three men had entered the store, where he was in
charge and after some parley about buying stamps

He looked UP TO find three revolvers pointed

Beck were detailed the case. and found that,

Later by questioning Alissario closely, they in

WON'T REGAIN PATENT.
Yale s TOacne Manufacturing Co.
VII Not Fight English Decision.

At the Offices Of the Yale & ToWne Manufacturing
Company in this city it was said yesterday that no
effort would be made TO fight the decision of the
Controller General of Patents Great Britain in
revoking the patent of the company in the United
Kingdom affecting rim locks The revocation was
made under the patent act Of 1907 which makes It
necessary for paentee to manufacture his product
in Great Britain.
In recent decision Of the Chancery Division of
the High Court of Justice, in the first test case
under the act, Justice Parker wrote:
1t is clear that patentee cannot be certain Of
retaining HIS patent rights after the period men
toned in the section -four years after the patent
is issued unless his patented process is being
worked his patented article Is being manufact-
ured within the United Kingdom to an extent
which the section describes as adequate or unless
he can give satisfactory reasons why this is not
the case"
The opinion holds that the Controller General of
Patents has authority TO determine the meaning
OF the word adequate in each case. The Yale
& Towne company is not prepared to manu-
in Great Britain and is advised that under
the circumstances there is no hope of regainng
its patent
Charles H. Duell who Commissioner OF Pat
under President Mckinley and has been deal
ing with the patent law Of this and other countries
for thirty years, holds the view. This patent
act of Great Britain he said, is simply form
of protection. They talk a great deal about free
trade. but I believe they coming to protection"
In Canada they have similar law, but il is
strued literally. All that IS necessary 10 comply
with it is that should manufacture there three
or four of the articles IN question and advertise
willingness supply any reasonable demand.
