with reference to the effectiveness of

the English courts have recently sus-
tanned the contention that if n false de-
scription OF an antique Is given IN the
invoice the purchaser is entitled to full
recovery. The written guaranty is there
fore far from being valueless and should
always be insisted on as protection.
Furthermore, any evasion or hesitation
on the part Of dealer to give one should
be accepted as token of his dis

from the spurious by the fact that 1t has
a discernible subsurfaoe Of copper. Much
modern electroplating is done on a cop

The precise difference. however, is that in
the old times silver was first fused and

has been done by that process.

May Prevent His Flight at Los An
geles-Litigation Characterized
as Unsportsmanlike.

NEW YORK, January a.-That the
Wrights intend to use all the power of
their patents and the influence of their
million-dollar syndicate in America, as
well as the fifteen-million-d dol ar trust that
covers the rest OF the world. to monopo-
lize all branches Of the modern aeroplane
industry was brought home forcfbly yes
terday to the French aviator, Louis Paul
han. and his hackers when he was served
with new suit just before he departed at
noon for California.
This suit is practically duplicate of
the one in which he was served when he
stepped from the ship Monday. 1t charges
him with using an aeroplane whose con-
struction infringes the Wright patents
and charges that by giving exhibitions
with it he is seriously damaging the
Wrights financially. The court is asked
to enjoin him from giving any exhibit
tons in America, and a speedy hearing is
asked, the date being set for January a.
The second suit was brought in order
to obtain quicker action than would be
possible under the first suit. 1t is the
avowed purpose, according TO the
Wrights' attorneys. Williamson & Smith
of 1l5 Broadway, to stop Paulhan from
fiying at Los Angeles and from giving
exhibitions in any other part of the coun-
try.
Paulhan Starts West.
In spite of this action Paulhan, with
his wife, the poodle the three minor
ayiators, mechanicians and Impresario
Cleary, departed for Los Angeles yes
terday at noon. None OF the party would
discuss the suit except to say that Paul
han would not use the warping plane
devices patented by the WrightS. He
will fly all his machines without any sta
bility planes whatever.

exceedingly VeXed by the avalanche of
legal troubles which have descended unon
them since they landed in America. Dis

is also all open secret that they are or

will be exclusively devoted to exhibi ion

That the Wrights expect the Injunction
will keep Curtiss out of the Los Angeles
meet is indicated by A statement made
by Wilbur Wright last night at dayton

push the injunction 70 keep Curt.ss out

SEA POWER THREATENED

LONDON. January 3.-In speech at
Henley eX-Premier Balfour accused the
government of neglecting the navy. He
added some remarkable utterances in
connection with that subject respecting
British relations with Germany.
He said that when the unionists retired
from office four years ago they left to
the next government OVERWHELMING
in battleships and ample naval
stores. The government had since been
living on these and the position was now
altogether different.
During the earlier part OF the liberal
administration the government was oc-
cupied in amiable and philanthropic but
perfectly futile negotiations respecting
the limitation OF ornaments. While it
was talking. other nations more Alert had
cedcnted rate and increased their power
and speed of turning out ships OF the
greatest fighting strength. Thus Great
BritainS comparative strength had ellor-

This depreciative view OF Great Brit

gone so far that he had known Germans
not connected with the government, but
men of position and character, who were
engaged in great affairs, who had the
audacity to say: do YOU suppose We
should ever allow Great Britain to adopt
a TARIFF
Such things. Mr.. Balfour declared,
made his blood boil. He believed these
prophets were mistaken. No continental
country had ever been able to understand
the temper of the British people. but
while he gave u note of warning to for
eign critics, he warned his hearers too,
that unless they bestirred themselves
Great Britain would be in a position of
peril unknown to their fathers, grand
fathers and Observation-Disclosures, and If
this position of peril ended in a great
catastrophe the country would not easily
arise from it. In conclusion, Mr.. Balfour
said:

war between this country and any great
foreign power, but remember that abSo-
iutely the only way to secure peace is to

victory if war does take place"
