Asked
OF GOVERNMENT
Wants Reward For Royalties on
"Flarebacks'

Washington. April 27.-More than
Sl,00Q,O00 figures in the claim of
Capt. John ]. Knapp, United States
navy, as trustee. against the govern
ment for royalties he claims is due
him for gas injector now in use in
the navy to prevent accidents, known
in naval circles as ''harebacks.
This interest the naval officers are
taking in the case is largely due to
the fact that the government sets up
as one of its defenses that the in
vention vas simply work in the line
of duty, There are other defenses
set up by the government, as prior
invention and anticipation, but the
first defense is the one most eagerly
watched. Captain Knapp had inter-
ested with him in the invention
Lieut. Frederick l.. Sawyer, United
States navy, and George w. Dunn.
master mechanic in the Washing
ton navy yard. Sawyer and Dunn
assigued their claims to Captain
Knapp.
The attention of these men was
called TO the necessity of an inven-
tion fc- use on shipboard while hiring
heavy guns by the frightful accident
on board the Missouri, April Is.
1904, when FIVE officers and 27 men
wero killed by what Is known as
bareback" which happened when

charged.
The claimants contend that the in
vention was not inspired by any Of
the bureaus of the navy department,
and that ii is one OF the most impor-
tant requirements for modern war
vessel.

Invents Augur That
Will Bore Square Hole

Mr. l.. W. Grissom, OF Durham. has
invented an aagur which will bore
a square hole. The invention Is en-
tirely different from instruments that
has so far been patented and Mr..
Grissom has been assured that a
patent ..ill be granted 10 him.
The augur is constructed on a
very simple principle. An ordinary
augur point is enclosed in case.
On the outside OF the case four small
saws are arranged so as to cut out q
square just above the augur point.
The saws are made to revolye by a
gearing driven from cogs on the stem
of the augur. Several instruments
OF this nature have been patented.
but the invention OF Mr.. Grissom has
many points of superiority over these
that assures its practicability.
Mr.. Grisson intends to form COM
pany 10 manufacture the tool as soon
as the patent is granted.
