SOUTH NORWALK, Conn, May s.
Mrs. Ely Frost, wife of Gen. Russell
Frost, and her sister, Mrs. Dudlene Ely
Raymond. were fatally injured when q
trolley car crashed into their coupe
Both died within two hous.
The accident happened just outside
the Frost residence, on West avenue
John Pooley, the coachman, was turn
ing the coupe round to the garden gate
to allow the women to alight, when the
horses slipped on the trolley tracks and
fell. The car was approaching, and be-
cause of tar on the rails the brakes
did not act.
General Frost, walking across his lawn
to meet his wife, saw the crash. The
coupe and the horse were pushed along
in front of the car for a hundred feet.
The women were hurled through Its
shattered windows. Their skulls were
fractured. their limbs broken and their
faces and bodies rnutilated. Friends had
to use violence to prevent General Frost
from seeing the face of his wife as she
lay dying on the lawn OF her beautiful
home.
Pooley's clothes were nearly all torn
from his body, but he escaped serious
injury. The horses were severely In
jured.

They have followed and assisted him
during the months he has carried on his
investigations, and now that II has
reached a stage where further Develop
ment with animals seems to be unprom-
Using, the students have offered them
selves.
They believe DIR. Simon can obtain
beneficial results, and though aware
that any tests made, while favorable
in animals. would be problematic in
human beings, in the hope that such
experiments would tend to discover
a curative process they are willing
to make the attempt.
The offer came as a great surprise to
Dr. Simon, and he was deeply affected
by 1t. In speaking about the incident
he said:
II understand how much an offer
like that means from my students.
They have made a study of medicine
and know exactly the terrible chances
they would be taking. Once they are
thoroughly inoculated with the can

which has baffled medical scientists for

CHANGE IN PATENT
LAW A|MEDAT SHOE
MACHINERY TRUST
Peters Introduces Bill to
Curb Power of Big
Combine.
PROPOSAL LIMIT
LICENSING RIGHTS
Measure Won't Allow Owners of
Patents to Menace Licensees
Business.

Coincident with the determination of
the Democratic House to put boots and
SHOES on the free list, and with revela-
tlons at both ends Of the Capitol regard
ing the operations Of the United Shoe
Machinery Company. of Boston, Repre-
sentative Andrew Peters of Massachu-
sets, today introduced a bill to amend
the patent laws which, while general in
Its terms, is believed to be aimed at
the United States Shoe Machinery Com
pany.
Ever since the hearings on the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, members of Congress
have been studying the shoe machinery
industry in the United States, on the
theory that the conditions on which
machinery Is leased are such that it is
impossible for shoe manufacturers to
sell their shoes at a reasonable price.
When the Sixty-first Congress adjourned
Representative Gaines, then a member
OF the Ways and Means Committee, was
preparing an amendment to the patent
laws aimed at the United Shoe Machin-
cry Company. Mr.. Gaines failed of re-
election, and his bill was never intro
duced.
To Limit Patent Rights.
Mr.. Peters bill is similar in many re-
spects to the one partially prepared by
Mr.. Gaines.
This bill." said Mr.. Peters today,
provides that no holders of letters
patent Of the United States shall make
It a condition or provision for the sale
or license to use any such tools. that the
purchaser shall not buy for use with
such article, machinery or tools other
than those made by the licenser: nor
shall such owner OF patents revoke the
license to use them in the event of the
licensee using such machinery pur-
chased from another person.
Certain corporations are now making
provisions on patented machinery
whereby the person who hires the ma
chinery from them is also obliged TO
purchase from them all the tools and
machinery. This is clearly against pub
lie policy. The largest and most con-
spicuous concern connected with this
form OF lease is the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company. This company owns
certain very necessary patents for the
manufacture of shoes
In Its leases of this machinery It puts
q provision which compels the licensee
from them. In this way 1t is Sitting
competition in the manufacture of shoe
machinery. The actions OF this Com
Pany are much more likely to result in
ton Of the tariff.
Similar to English Law.
Other countries are already recog-
nizing this. England has passed a law
similar to the one 1 have introduced
here, and it is interesting to note that
the English law was passed as a
result Of the United Shoe Machinery
Company trying to do the same thing in
England which 1t is doing, unrebuked,
In this country. The hearing before the
Senate Finance Committee on this sub
ect shows strongly the need of such
legislation.
THE passage of this act will, I be-
heve, work q great advantage to the
people Of the United States, and prevent
the use Of the rights granted under a
patent in a way to foster monopoly,
and injure, rather than help, the people
of the country"
