William H. Smith, Former Director Of

Any Rights Under Contract.

WASHINGTON. Feb. "a permanent
injunction was granted today in the district
court prohibiting william Il. smith, form

phone company. from asserting any rights
against the company under a contract
entered into June H. 1899. giving Smith and
others certain royalties on any use the
company might make Of the Capps process
for the preparation of graphoDhOne records.
Smith filed suit in 1903 declaring the
Macdonald process then employed by the
company made use OF the principle peculiar
TO the Capps process and sought to have
the contract declared valid as affecting the
Macdonald method.
The suit involves nearly $500.Ooo in royal
ties, alleged by Smith and his associates
to be due them. The company denied any
similarity between the two processes ex
listed and contended that Smith, as d.
rector of the company, had no right to
make such a contract. The court upheld
the latter contention and ordered a perma-
nent Injunction against the plaintiff.

and other expenses prevailing at that time
owing 10 the jamestown exposition. The
report admits that this was reduced at the

The statement In the report that the cost
OF printing and supplies is "exorbitant''
may be the opinion OF the clerks who pre-
pared the report. That advertising pays Is
evidenced BY the phenomenal success OF
the Woodmen. The Beacon Press, OF which
my son Il a stakeholder, has been hereto
FORE awarded contracts simply because that
company incorporated IN 1900 does the
work cheaper than any other competitive
bidders. since the report was published,

awarded the contract by the COMMITTEES on
supplies, with concurrence OF the finance

The order has never been required to pay

son l was pulling up part of the river
bottom. 1t took me ten minutes to
land the bass. Graveson got him in
the net, and there were those bottles,
too. Here are the bottles to prove
it,
Peters said one bottle was half
empty, and he believes the bass was
sucking out the beer, and that is why
the line hooked up with the bottles.

be exact, re-quote his words:
well, I certainly do pity a man
who has to bear the responsibilities
of such law, and, at the same time
wants to run for office"
Yet Mr.. Carney had made no an
nouncement of his candidacy for any
office in the newspapers, nor to anv
of his friends. What but a figment
of his own imagination had Mr.. Cole
man to go upon in making this aeon.
