commissioner of internal revenue. who
was then working up new regulations
for his agents under the new interpre-
tation of whiskey. ceased work until
this second matter was settled. NO"
that the question is declared out of th'
way in the statement just issued, 1t Il
expected that the internal revenu'

PATENT LAW CHANGES.
House Committee Will Report Bilis
Amending Present Methods.

washington, Apr. 22.-At an impor-
tant meeting of the house committee
on patents it was voted to report a bill
providing for a change i'm the present
methods of registering trade marks IN
one particular. The existing law spec
ifies that in cases where a proposed
trade mark is the name or a part OF
the name of a corporation it shall be
refused registration, even If in all oth-
er respects eligible. Under the change
which was voted out of committee TINS
morning il is intended to provide that
such a trade mark, though involving
the use of the name or a part or n
name of a corporation. shall not be re-
fused registration If eligible in all 9TH
er particulars.
The patent committee further voted
TO recommend to the house revised
form of the Dalzell bill, which as orig
mall introduced gave to the court oi
claims jurisdiction over suits brought
by inventors against the government
for infringement of their rights by the
use OF patents on the part of the gov
ernment. The revised form of the Dali
zell bill which is now suggested pro-
vides that such jurisdiction SHAH b'
granted to the court of claims subjec
TO the provision that such Jurisdiction
shall not be restrictive. No claim fol
damages shall be recognized where ]
is based upon the use by the govern
ment of n patent which is already il
