EDISON LOSES SUIT
BEGUN IS YEARS AGO
Gould Litigation Made Inventor Think
He Had Found Perpetual
Motion,

New York, Feb is. Thomas A. Edi-
son, the inventor, has lost the suit he
brought against Jay Gould and the At
lantie & Pacific Telegraph company in
the United States circuit court OF ap.
peais. Until the suit was dismissed the
inventor had an idea that he had dis
covered perpetual motion, at least in
law.
The action was brought by Edison
and Joseph G. Reif against the company
and Gould in 1876. The allegation was
that the pair had turned over to Jay
Gould certain inventions as to duplex
and quadruple telegraphy and were to
get a certain number OF shares OF stock.
The company refused TO deliver the
stock.
The suit trailed along through the
federal courts until the Atlantic & Pa
cific company went out OF existence
through merger and Jay Gould was dead
Then it was continued against his heirs
and estate. The inventors once got a
verdict of a dollar and costs. The court
of appeals now has set this aside on 4
technicality as to the right OF Reif to
sue in the court OF this district. In
the 35 years there were many high priced
lawyers on both sides Most OF them
like Jay Gould, are dead The suit APP
parently outlasted all the original attor-
neys and litigants except Edison The
invention and the inventor still lives.

HOBSON BILL DEFEATED

Washington, Feb. ls.-The Senate lost
no time yesterday in getting to work
on the joint resolution providing for a
constitutional amendment authorizing
the election Of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people
The friends of the measure were very
hopeful that during the day vote
would be reached on the Sutherland
amendment giving Congress control over
senatorial elections
Senator Raynor of Maryland took the
floor promptly. He eontended that even
without the Sutherland provision the
federal government had the right TO pro-
tect voters against fraud or intinida-
ton.
He. therefore, appealed to supporters
OF the original proposition not to bur
den it with any amendments which
would imperil the success of the resolu-
tion itself
why would it imperil the resolu-
tionln asked Mr. Nelson.
"Becauae,' replied Mr. Raynor, cit
would affect large number on the
Democratic side Of the chamber who
would vote against the proposition with

asked the Minnesota senator.

land senator. IF the senator will visit

ment win weaken the resolution and
cannot afford to take chances

the same time he has informed the com

Most Of the requests for hearings, it
is believed viii be denied, on the ground
that il the bill were opened to general
arguments, the effect would be to delay

be charged with attempting to smother
the measure under the gIise Of granting

The indications are that a report will
