AGREEMENT IS IN FORCE
Imperial Supreme Court of Germany
InteTprets Patent Law in Fa-
vor of an American.

Leipsic, Nov. 26.-The imperial su-
preme court today rendered a decision
in q patent case, in which it interpreted
the patent agreement between Germany
and the United States in favor of an
American company, which has a branch
office in Berlin.
This branch office obtained letters of
patent under the German law, but it
failed to place the invention on the mar
ket within three years, as specified by
the German statute. Thereupon a Ger
man brought suit TO vacate patent
rights, and the patent office decided in
his favor.
The court today declared that the pat
ent Office must renew the letters of pat
ent. as the German-American agree
ment guaranteed reciprocal treatment
eff patents.
The GeTman-Ameriean patent agree
ment was signed at Washington on
February 90
It relieves American manufacturers
of the requirement of the German law
that, to sell their products in Germany,
they must manufacture them upon the
basis of patents in Germany.
It also relieved Americans from the
restriction which declared patents for
feited if not actually worked in Ger
many within three years.

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 26.-WilIiam
PiereDont, American charge daffaires,
today made a proposal to the Chilean
government that the Alsop claim be
submitted to the arbitration Of King
Edward, who is friendly to both sides.
The proposal was accepted. and the
two countries will ask the British mon
arch to act as arbitrator.
Washington, Nov. 26.-While no ex-
preston of opinion could be obtained
here tonight on the supposed selection
of King Edward as arbitrator in the Al
sop claim, it is generally understood
the state department will welcome any
move that will bring about an adjudi-
cation
The question. so far as the American
government views it. is clear and un-
miStakable, and no fear is felt that an
unbiased arbitrator. such as King Ed
ward is known TO be, will not settle the
affair in favor of the Alsop claimants.

The purpose Of the robbery is also BAL
fling in the extreme. The generally aC-
cepted theory has been that the plan OF
the ghOUls was TO hold the body for a
ransom, but so far no demand or intima-
ton of a demand has been received.
This theory was based on the knowledge
that the family IS very wealthy and also
on the fact that not only the parents, but
the grandparents of the child were par
ticularly attached to it during its brief
life. The grandfather was ". G. Con-
rad. one Of the Wealthiest men in Mon

stole the body and whatever their pur-
pose, whether for reward or revenge,

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 26.-Humor
was injected into the Cunningham
coal claims this afternoon when Hor-
ace C. Henry, the Seattle banker and
railroad builder, was placed on the
stand by the defense, and naively ad-
mitted that he had joined the claim
ants without knowing anything about
the proposition, and that he had
signed numerous affidavits without
knowing what they contained.
Il got so in the habit of signing affi-
davits that I just signed anything that
Cunningham and CLAWS asked me to-
said Mr.. Henry during his examination.
Henry said that he was approached
by Cunningham in 1903. Cunningham
told him that c. J. Smith and former
Governor Moore of Washington were
interested i'm the claims and asked if
Henry wanted to file one.
4 told him to go ahead and put me
in" said the witness. 4 told him that
if he wanted. any money to draw on
me. He always did. l didn't pay any
attention TO the claims OF what the
other claimants were doing. because
