WRIGHT CASE RESTS
Order Restraining Paulhan
Erpected from Judge Hand.

Judge Hand. In the United States Circuit
Court. refused yesterday 20 demand bond
from Louis PauIhan. the French flyer or
to issue a restraining order in the motion
of the Wright Company for an injunction
brought on the ground that the foreigners
machines were iufringements of the Wright
brothers patents.
He came TO this decision after a long and
heated argument by Clarence J. Shearu,
counsel for Paulhan. who contested the
legality of either proceeding at the present
stage Of the case. Judge Hand told Mr..
Shearn. however. that he thought he would
grant the injunction when he had had the
opportunity thoroughly 10 consider the evi-
dence.
Israel Ludlow. who is assisting Mr.
Shearn. came to the front two minutes be-
fore closing time with some rapid questions
which he asked Wilbur Wright. on the
answers 10 which he based his argument
for denial of the restraining order.
H A. Toulnn. chief counsel of the
Wright company. took up the numerous
instances that were produced by Mr.
Shearn. In an attempt 10 prove that the
Wrights were not the inventors. and in
methodical way brushed each one aside as
of no value. The lawyers talked for hours
on how 10 operate flying machine, and
the interest finally centred on the mantpu-
lation of the rear vertical rudder. Israel

THREE LINERS SPEAK
Reports from Them UhIe FaT
at Sea.

Three vestboUnd transatlantic liners
the Minnewaska. the Oceania and the
Iceland. were heard from by wireless
last night via Cape Race. when more
than 1.2OO miles from New York. Hear
ing from vessels at such q distance from
Sandy Hook is unusual at this season,
when steamships are coming over the
long or southerly course.
On the last westbound passage OF the
CUnarder Campania over the long course
q week ago she was not reported until
the night preceding the morning on
which she docked. Her failure to report
was attributed to the inability Of the
Campania to work with Cape Race, the
long course taking her too far to the
south. It is believed that exceptionally
good weather conditions are responsible
for the reports of the three steamers
heard from last night when FIVE days
