ICE ON THE AVENUE
BLOCKS CAR TRAFFIC
Spectators Look on in Amaze
ment as the Crystal Sub

This is August and ice foes are rare in
these ldtitudes, but nevertheless fifty cars
on Pennsylvania avenue were icebound

headway and thought he could get across
the tracks.

around, unloaded the ice in a hurry
and Slaughter's head bumped into
something that caused lot of blood,
but no really serious hurt.

the scene, the car stood there, blocked
by about ton of ice a crowd col
lected in a thrice. East-bound cars
stopped to allow the conductors and
motormen to express their opinions
of the ice wagon and driver and
friends Of the driver rushed forward to
call the crew of the offending car a
collection of boneheads.
Seven policemen dragged pencils and
pads from their pockets and began to
take names. The crew of the car wouldn't
give names. but pointed to the numbers
on their hats. BY that time two or three
small fights were on the verge of start
ing. caused by expression of opinions as
to who was to blame. Meantime Mr..
Slaughter went to Emergency Hospital in
q buggy with his hand on his head.
a small Italian boy snagged a 1O-cent
piece of ice and made away with 1t In
his wagon. That was the first attempt
made at clearing the passage. Finally.
after the crew with the numbers in their
hats had said all they wanted TO say,
some one slid the ice to one side and
the traffic assumed it's normal conditions.

Patents Have Expired.

THE fundamental charge of a combi-
nation to create a monopoly is based by
the report on the charge that the knotter
in the self-binder is protected by patents,
and that the International owns the pat
ents on all the best types of knotters.
The truth is that there is no patent
whatever on the essential part of any
type of knotter, and there has not been
any such patent in force since 1895. when
the Appleby patent expired. This fact
not only appears on the records OF the
patent office. but is known to every man
ufacturer of self binders and to every
principal dealer in them. Neither are
there any existing patents upon any es-
sential part of the grain binding ma
chine. The many basic patents had all
expired in 1885. and there have been no
substantial patented improvements since
lS9O-twenty years ago-while the life OF
a patent, as is well known, is only seven
teen years"
The statement of the Townsend report
Of ,the.-nine different types Of grain
binders purchased by the international
&il but three have been Abandoned and

as ..notoriously and absolutely false" He
