PROSECUTE
PLUMBERS Who
DISREGARD LAW
East Newark Board of Health
Annoyed by Men Who Do
Not File Plans.

Angered because they learned that
plumbers were working in the borough
without licenses, and that licensed men
were doing work without filing plans,
the members of the East Newark
Board of Health last night gave In
spector John Keenan, orders to be on
the lookout for violators and hale them
before the recorder. The code of the
board provides for a fine of $40 to be
imposed upon an unlicensed plumber
working In the borough,
Commissioner Edward McKenna, who
Is also secretary of the board, and who
surprised his fellow members by prov
ing that he wss plumbing inspector,
had before the board William Carmon,
who, he declared, had done certain
wer1c without fling plans. and which,
he said. was not up to the standard.
4 verbal tilt between McKenna and
Carman ensued, and was ended by
President Pringle. Il was decided
to lay the matter over for two weeks,
and in that time an inspection of the
work lone by Carman will be mada.
That ali effort had been made to
harm Commissioner McKenna, who is
biSO a pluIflbeE, WAS 5ilUWH NlIt1I VIII
missioner Joseph North said that he
had been told that McKenna did work
without filing plans, n 1t could not
be understood why others could not do
likewise. Mr.. McKenna declared en-
phatically that whenever he did work
of n nature hat necessitated the filing
of plans he always observed the law.
He proved that the work referred to
by Mr.. North was not of the nature
that required a record being made.
NJ. Well, a dry goods dealer, filed
plans for work started -four years ago.
He sent 81 with the drawing. Commits
sioner Palardy thought that the board
could not accept the money. as the fee
had been paid when the work was
begun. McKenna proved that the fee
should be charged, and at the same
time showed a page of minutes upon
which was inscribed the fact that he
had beer elected plumbing inspector.
The other members seemed surprised.

THOMAS A. EDISON
LOSER IN SUIT
BEGUN IN 1875
Litigation Growing Out of TeIe-
graphic Inventions Dismissed
by Court of Appeals.

Thomas A. Edison, the electrical
wizard, lost out yesterday in a suit
that has/been going on for thirty-flve
years. The United States Circuit Court
of Appeals directed the dismissal of the
suit, which has occupied the attention
OF h Federal court since May, 1876.
The action was brought by George
harrington, Thomas A. Edison and
Josiah c. Reiff against the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Company and
Jay Could originally, and George j.
Gould and others as executors and
trustees Of the Jay Gould estate.
Hessrs. Harrington and Edison insti-
tuted the litigation as Joint owners
of patents and patent applications for
certain inventions made by the latter
IN automatic, duplex and quadrupIe
biography.
On December 80, 1874, the complain
ants averred they entered into an
agreement with Jay Gould to cooperate
IN bringing about an agreement with
the Atlantic and Pacific Company,
which was controlled by Mr.. Gould,
whereby Mr.. Edison and Mr.. Harring-
ton were to transfer to that company
their inventions in return for 81, 900
shares of the company's stock. The
patents were assigned on January IL,
1875, and April 8. 1875, to Mr.. Gould
as trustee to carry out the agreement.
Mr.. Gould was to assign the inven-
lions to the telegraph company only on
receiving the stock consideration
agreed upon.
The compliments al1ege, however,
that Mr.. Gould made the assignment
~"wrongfully and prematurely." When
the company refused to give the stock
or surrender the patents Meesrs. Har-
rington and Edison brought the matter
into court and asked that the telegraph
company be enjoined from using the
inventions ana be required to account
for the profits derived by the use of
them.
More than three years elapsed after
the filing OF the complaint before the
taking of the complalnants' proofs
commenced, and the taking of this
evidence stopped in October, 1878.
The litigation was at a standstill
when Jay Gould died, in December,
1892. Three years later, however, the
slit was revived against his executors
and trustees.
Although the Ease was on the trial
calendar for August. 1904, through ad-
iournments obtained by the defendants
it was not heard until May 10, 1905.
Messrs. Harrington and Edison Won
the suit, but were awarded a judgment
Of only 81.
On the contention that the Circuit
Court had no jurisdiction to hear the
cause, for the reason that Mr.. Har-
rington was a resident OF the District
of Columbia and not of the State, az
peal was taken to the higher court.
Sustaining this contention, Judge Ward
wrote the opinion Of the Circuit Court
of, Appeals.
During the litigation, which covered
almost thirty-flve years, the ntigants
were represented BY eminent counsel.
