wrights' Change Immaterial.

The contention that the Wrights have
departed from the patents in using the
curved arched surface of the machines he
holds Is not Of sufficient importance to
enter into :the controversy. In the origi-
nal patents granted to the Wrights the
surface of the machine was fiat. He says
that in aeroplanes he does not believe
that that class of patents requires mar
rowing to the details of construction.
Judge Hazel says that the Mattullach
application for a patent filed January s,
1905, in which the inventor declared he
believed he had discovered a means of
maintaining equilibrium, was not followed
up ana therefore can only be regarded as
an unsuccessful attempt. He says ..e
claims of the Wrights that their patents
are being infringed on are so reasona-
BILE he believes that they can be sus-
tained at final hearing. for which rea-
son he issued the temporary injunction.
The reason for making the application for
tie injunction. he states, Is due to the
fact that after repeated warnings from
the Wrights, Curtiss still insisted on
manufacturing and exhibiting aeroplanes,
which the court holds he should not be
permitted to do.

BESIDES his official records, ". Paulhan
claims to have made more aeroplane
flights than any other French aviator
He has made about 800 ascents. AL
though he has been interested in aero
nautics for FIVE or six years, his first
public exhibition was given last June. AS
a mechanic Paulhan a short time ago
was earning about SIS a week, but is
now credited with compensation Of the
bank-president variety.
Paulhan is visiting this country for the

faulhan was asked whether he thought
flying machines would eventually be prac-
ficable as ocean crossers.
IT is possible, said the aviator but
not for the moment. Perhaps in two or
three years. ! should like to cross better

NEW animal DISCOVERED
CARNIVOROUS MAMMAL CLOSE
LY RESEMBLING A FOX.
Found in British East Africa by
Smithsonian Scientific Expedition.
Called 0tocyon Vergatus.

y new animal has been discovered Ill
British East Africa by the Smithsonian
African scientific exposition. which, un-
der the leadership of Col Theodore
Roosevelt, has been in that region secur-
ing specimens of fauna and flora for the
National Museum of this city since last
April. This new animal the first an
nouncement Of whose discovery was made
at the Smithsonian Institution yester-
day, is a hitherto unknown species OF
otocyon. to which the officials of the
scientific organization have given the
specific name of vergatus. 1t is a small
carnivrous mammal closely resembling a
fox.
The New Animal.
"Otocyon Rooseveltus, as a cosnomen
for the new animal, would make an APP
propriate designation and one which
would have perpetuated the name of the
former President as the discoverer OF
the species, but the Smithsonian officials.
perhaps fearing the discoverers would
object, decided to make its specific name
vergatus, meaning striped.
The Otocyon vergatus is generally bum
in color and it has been found by Gerrlt
Miller of the museum staff to diner
slightly from Otocyon megalotlS, which Is
found farther south in Africa, especially
In color. and in the characteristics or us
teeth and skull. The Otocyon is pecul-
nr 10 Africa and is not represented In
the United States, but resembles i'll color
the swifter kit fox of the western plains.
The ull of this new form closely re-
sembles that Of the gray fox of our ma
tive fauna.
This announcement is of special inter
est for the reason that comparatively
few new forms were expected from this
region in Africa, as the territory up to
this time explored by the Smithsonian
African exposition has been pretty
thoroughly examined by British natural
lists.

.D|vULGES HIS SECRET
ADMITS CRIME FOR
WHICH OTHERS SUFFERED.
Joseph Vastello Tells Penitentiary
Official He Murdered Contractor
Ferguson in 1908.

WHEELING. w. Va, January fl
want to tell you something I have had
on my mind for a good many years. l
cannot keep the terrible secret any longer,
1t was I and two foreigners who killed
Contractor Samuel T. Ferguson. near
Washington, Pa, September %. 1909. and
the man they hanged and the man who
is serving twenty years for that crime are
innocent" said Joseph Vastello yesterday.
He is a prisoner In the Moundsville. w.
Va. penitentiary. and made the state
ment to G.. G. Dawson. captain OF the
guards
Miloyar Kovovic was hanged for the
murder OF Ferguson, and Milovar Patrovlc
is now serving a sentence in the pen-
Tertiary at Pittsburg.
Serving for Another Crime.
Vastello is serving sentence for an
other crime. He was arrested a few
months after Ferguson was murdered for
the robbery of the railroad station at
Burton, W. Va, and sentenced to eight
years Imprisonment. His term expires
next November.
Vastello Is said to have told detailed
and consistent story. All efforts to make
him contradict himself were unayailing.
Vastello implicated two foreigners, who
are believed to have returned to their
native land. An effort will be made to
have Vastello identified by Lewis s. Lig-
get. a farmer, who saw the slayers Of
Ferguson.

Granted an Injunction Against
Aviator CurtiSS.
PAULHAN ALSO SERVED
May Stop Frenchman From Exhib.
iting at Los Angeles.
GIVES BROTHERS MONOPOLY
Clear Field in America in Making
and Flying Aeroplanes If Court
Order Is Made Permanent.

BUFFALO, January 4.-JudGe John r.
Hazel in the United States circuit court
yesterday temporarily enjoined Glenn IL.
Curtiss and his company from either eA-
hibiting or manufacturing any aeropianes
with features infringing the patents OF
Orville and Wilbur Wright.
In effect this stops Curtiss from par
ticipating in the Los Angeles aeronautlc
SHOW He was under contract to appear
in California next week for compensa-
ton of $1,000. In addition to this he was
10 receive bonus for every machine ne
placed on the grounds flown by some
other aviator. 1t also means that the
Herring Curtiss company must stop man
ufacturing aeroplanes until there Is de-
ssion on the motion for permanent m
junction and damages.
The Injunction means that for some
time at least the Wrights will control tiie
production of every aeroplane Which Is
coufpped with devices depending ON warp
ing of planes. Up to the present 'iihe
this is the only kind of device that has
made human flight in a heavier-than-air
machine possible.
May Stop Paulhar.
The injunction also foreshadoWs the
probability that it will be impossible for
any aviator 10 eAlllOll III oil dNi0P'--o
which has the warping devices. rms
means that no foreigner can come to this
country and fly for money unless he mas
a license to do so from the Wrights. II
probably will prevent the appearance OF
Paulhan at the Los Angeles show. IL
also will undoubtedly have an enect on
the status of the machine owned by tne
Aeronautic Society of New York.
While the ruling will have no iegai
force In Europe, it will have tremen-
dous moral influence.
Judge Hazel finds, that the warping.
Welding Or dfstorting of marginal edges
of an aereplane in order to obtain equi-
librium is an idea absolutely original with
the Wrights. He says in his decision TINS
result had long been sought by others,
but that il was shown by the testimony
that the Nrights not only conceived the
correct idea but also devised the appn-
ances to secure the proper balance
He finds the claim of the Herring-Cur-
tiss Company that it makes an entirely
different machine is not we'll founded.
He asserts that the so-called Curtiss aer-
oplane is different in minor details, but In
the essentials Of its construction 1t Is All
most exactly like the Wright machine
The fact that the planes used for stability
purposes are placed between the main
planes does not make any difference, ac-
eordinS to Judge Hazel.
