is the inventor Now, when a patent Is
declared invalid in one circuit people in
the other circuits cannot be sure that they
have any right to manufacture, sell or
use the patented article, for the plain1U
may go into every other circuit and brlas
suits against alleged infrinsers. 1t is OF
the utmost importance to both the IN
yentor and the public that the question
whether a patent is valid or invalid and
its SCOPE should be settled as speedily as
possible. and settled by court whose de-
cision will be final, not in one circuit
alone, but throughout the entire country.
Justified by the Fact.
"A court established having jurisdiction
of this class of causes only would seem
to be justified by the fact as one eminent
authority has put it. that the subject OF
patents goes not to any particular trade.
not to any particular class. but it goes to
the whole nation. and every man. woman
and child in 1t. and particularly every
man engaged in business o. any kind"
Judge Taylor, In speaking of this pro-
posed court SO constituted. says it gives
us IL selection of judges without parallel
and would be superior in the decision of
causes in a patent court TO any court
that ever sat in the world. There is no
country in the world which has a bench

ton by which the federal judges them

TIMED AT THE KAISER.
Reiehstag Member Hints Where
Valuable Reform Might Begin.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
BERLIN, January t.-Dr. Strive, the
radical member Of the reichstag for KEEL
makes the suggestion that If the govern
ment sincerely desires to increase its
revenue without placing unnecessary bur
dens on the taxpayers an incalculable
sum might be realized by suppressing the
privilege of using the post free of charge
now enjoyed by the kaiser and other
members of Germany's twenty-five ruling
houses.
BY the law passed in 1871 all reigning
princes and their wives and widows pos
sess the right to send any number of let
ters and parcels within the empire and
all correspondence with the imperial
house of Austria without charge.
AS the privilege is expressly extended
to all business connected with the adj
ministration OF royal property. the kaiser
is enabled to dispatch goods from the i'm
periai pottery at Cadinen free of charge
and to send 90 market the game that is
shot from time to time over his numer-
Gus preserves without expense. The huge
machinery of dozens of royal theaters
and opera houses is also transported
free, and the same applies to the corre-

The Decline In Kicking.

To close observers of the game it is
apparent that the kicking department
has not been developed to its fullest
possibilities of recent years Today
the names of the reliable drop kickers,
place kickers or punters can be named
on the fingers of one hand Coy of
Yale and Victor Kennard of Harvard
have shown considerable ability in
this line, it is true, but they do hot
touch the high water mark of the pig
skin booting art What the kicker5
will achieve this year is impossible to
predict, and so far as the east is con-
cerned probably Coy and Kennard viii
prove the leaders. Kennard. with the
experience of last year to depend or.
should, like Coy, show advanced abili-
ty in this direction.
The tendency is to develop line buck
ers In these later football days and to
let the kicking end look pretty much
after itself. But kicking ability can
be made to show valuable results in
the score columns if wisely directed,
and coaches and captains viii make
a decided mistake If they continue in
the shortsighted policy that in this
respect has marked the immediate
past.

Soon we shall have war of the

Infinite care the scattered pieces have

However sincere may be the pessi-
mistic grunts of the admirers of the

joys, they cannot dissipate the GER
tainty that the new season, soon to
open, will be one of tremendous inter

test of more than meager local inter

to open before Saturday, Sept. 25. On

THE TRACTION COMPANY AND
THE COUNCIL.

1t is only fair to presume that the
Traction Company will not press the
question of transfers nor of franchise
extensions at the session of the Council
tonight.
According to the opinion of Hon.
Frank ]. Looney. who cites authorities,
the legality of certain ordinances by
which the Traction Company claims
certain privileges, is questioned.
If the Caucasian's Interpretation Of
the view of Hon. John D. Wilkinson OF
the Lorenz franchise stipulations be
correct, the question of transfers is set
tied and can be enforced through legal
channels.
In view Of these facts, it is incumbent
on the Council, as the representatives Of
the people, to direct through the city
attorney such action as may be neces-
sary to secure to the people what is
their right and to warrant in full what
are the rights and the privileges of the
Traction Company. This is fair.

The Latham MonopIane.

The Latham monoplane, of the type
called Antoinette, is the invention of
-LeVaVassenr. Above ifs sltiffiike
aluminium body are spread two OBJ
long rings. The single propeller is
situated in front of the main body,
while directly below it is the motor,
with self condensory boiler At the
rear of the body is the pilots seat,
and behind him extend two vertical
rudders for lateral movements and a
horizontal tail for governing the alti-
tude. The underframe of the skiffiike
body rests on two wheels, and in front
of them is a runner intended to aecel-
crate the leaving of the ground and
to receive the first shock of landing.

A RECORD SEASON FOR FOOTBALL
How the New Rules
Will Affect the Game.
A Change IN Scoring,
Etc. ~ - ~

scrimmage line, in which space an end
might stand and by assuming this po-
sition be not eligible in any event to
receive a forward pass. Thisaposition
is more than one foot back of the end
of the scrimmage line and not q full
yard back. No man occupying this
position is eligible to receive a for
ward pass, the object of this rule be-
Ing to make a man stand either up to
the scrimmage line or a full yard
back. where the official can readily see
that he is not On the line.
A most vital change in the rules Is
that regarding scoring. For several
seasons the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing
the value Of field goal has been dis
cussed, and particularly the advisable
ty of reducing the value Of a kicked
goal from placement This year the
matter took on form, and the value of
a field goal was reduced from four
points to three points. regardless of
how the goal from the field might be
scored

Never before has man crossed the
Atlantic SO quickly as did the passen-
Eers who stepped ashore from the
giant Cunarder. They had clipped a
day from the ocean barrier They had
set new standard for speed. They
had smashed all previous records for
transatlantic travel They were the
first voyagers to leave London on Sat
urday and Queenstown on Sunday and
arrive in New York on a Thursday.
Science, skill and unlimited expend
iture have been striving for a quar-
ter of a century for the prize cap
tured by the Lusitania. The six day
boat set the early records more than
twenty-five years ago. The five day
boat came along ten years later. Fri
day landings in New York have been
common ever since the christening
days Of Lucania and Campania, fifteen
years ago.
Then began the tremendous struggle
to eliminate another day. ST. Paul
and ST Louis of the American line

ers got speed up TO reach New York
