THREE AyIA1oRs IN COURT
WRiGATs BRING SUIT AGAINST
CURTISS FOR INFRINGEMENT.
Injunction Wanted to Restrain Her
ring-Curtiss Co. From Making
Aeroplanes.

Buffalo. Dec. 15.--Three of the
worlds most famous aviators, the
Wright brothers and Glen H. Curtiss.
of the Herring Curtiss company, joined
issues in legal battle here. The
proceedings which came before Judge
Hazel, in the United States court,
were in suit brought by the Wright
brothers for preliminary injunction
against Curtiss to restrain him and
selling aeroplanes on the ground that
in all essential details Curtiss is in.
fringing the patents of the Wrights.
H. A. Toulmin, of Springfield. Ohio,
representing the Wright brothers, ar.
gued for three hours to show that his
clients were the pioneers in making
and demonstrating the heavier-than.
air machines. He laid special stress
on their discovery of devices for bal.
ancing a machine in the wind, one of
the claims being that Curtiss copied
these devices. 1t was also charged
that Curtiss received his inspiration
and understanding of these devices
while A. M. Herring, his partner, was
a guest of the Wright brothers in
1903
Newell Represents Curtiss.
For Mr.. Curtiss, Emerson K New
ell, of New York, denied the infringe
ment. He declared that the Wrights
themselves had admitted that the in.
clined or curved plane and the forward
and rear attachments were old; that
while the Wrights had solved the bal
ancing problem Curtiss had adopted
an entirely different plan to maintain
equilibrium. He also claimed that the
particular devices upon which the
Wrights claimed infringement never
had been patented.

prayer. Principal A. C. Laughlin, of

ture on the teaching of arithmetic in

of literary merit. their inability to in
terest and inspire pupils, their unattrac-
tive appearance, and their utter disre-
gard of historical perspective. DR..
George II. Oliver, of Irvingto ton, dis
cussed briefly but very sffectively the
duty of parents to cooperate with
teachers in maintaining discipline and
promoting studious habits and good
morals and manners among the pupils.
DR.. Frank w. Lewis, the Superin-
tendent of Schools for Lancaster brief
ly addressed the meeting indorsing the

were unanimously adopted thanking tho
people of Irvington for their gracious
hospitality; the Glee Club for their
delightful music; r. r. Dunnaway,
treasurer of the county, and his depu-
ties for the promptness with which all
