CUT PRICE DRUG
SALE is UPHELD
Court Refuses Injunction to
Manufacturers.
PATENT CLAUSE IS INVALID
Chemical Company Loses Fight to
Prevent James O'DonnelI Selling
It's Product at Less Than Figure
Named in Patent-Anti-trust Law
Brought Up During Hearing.

A precedent in regard to the validity
of the clause frequently inserted in pat
ent papers setting a fixed price for the
sale of patented articles was established
in the District Supreme Court yester-
day, when Justice Barnard refused 10
grant the Bauer Chemical Company. of
New York. an injunction against James
ODonnell. owner of the drug store at
9Oi F street northwest. to restrain him
from selling medicine; at cut prices.
The Bauer Chemical Company asked
that the injunction be issued on the
ground that 'SanatOgen-a food tonic
manufactured by the New York firm,
Was being sold by O'DCnnell for s. cents
regardless of the fact that the patent
states that the article must not be sold
for less than 81. The patent papers
read:
.Sanatogen is licensed for sale and use
at a price not less than 81 Any sale in
violation OF this condition. or use. when
so sold will constitute an infringement
of our patent No. COL, 995; and all persons
so selling or using package or pack
ages will be liable to injunction and
damages A purchase is an acceptance
of this condition.
Antf-trust LAW Brought Up.
Baker. Sheehy n Hogan. attorneys TOT
the defense. declared that the chemical
company was acting in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law by attempting to
maintain a high fixed price on a COM
modify The defense also contended that
O'Donnell had bought the articles before
selling them. and that. therefore, he had
a right to fix his own price.
Mr. ODonnell said last night that the
case is now settled as far as he is con-
cerned. but stated that the Department
of Justice may possibly take the mat
ter UP and prosecute the chemical COM
pany for violation of the antitrust laws.
The decision yesterday is welcomed by
retail druggists throughout the country
who have wanted to cut prices. but who
have been afraid to do so because Of
the clauses contained in the patent pa
pers on medicines manufactured by va
rious companies in the United States.

Only Existing Confederate
Seal Found In New York

New York, July 1.-THE mystery
of the Confederate seal has been
solved by DR.. Thomas Adds Emmett,
who now has in his possession the
only existing seal of the Confederate
| States the whereabouts of which has
heretofore occasioned considerable
speculation. DR.. Emmett thus explains
the mystery and how he secured pos
session of the seal.
"In the autumn of 1865 | had given
me, by the late Thomas Semmes, a
noted lawyer, of New Orleans, the
original pencil drawing made for this
seal, and duplicate electrotype re-
that he was member of the Confed-
crate congress and chairman of a COM
mittee formed to have prepared in
England a seal for the war depart
ment.
THE design as shown in the draw.
ing was approved, but an electrotype
was directed to be made from the
mold and sent for approval before the
die should be cast. A few days be-
fore the surrender of Gen. Lee several
of these electrotypes we're received in
Richmond. The one given to me had
been sent to Mr.. Semmes as chairman
of the committee, one to Mr.. Davis,
and the other, believe, to the speaker
of the house. The electrotype was an
exact reproduction of the drawing.
but about one-third larger.
"Mr. Mallory, then secretary of the
navy, and Mr., Benjamin, the secretary
of state, were with Mr. Davis when he
was arrested in Georgia, but managed
to escape directly to Florida, and were
not in South Carolina. On the pass
age of the gentlemen from Florida to
Cuba the vessel was wrecked, and,
with their effects, the seal of their
respective departments was lost.
Previous to the surrender the same
seal had been used in the army and
navy department, each waiting for
