The litigation between the American
Graphophone Company and William Her
bert Smith, formerly one Of its directors,
which has been pending in various forms
in the District Supreme Court since 1903.
was terminated yesterday, when Justice
Gould filed an opinion perpetually en-
joining Smith from asserting any rights
under a contract of June j., 1899. to
royalties by reason of the use by the
Graphophone Company OF what is known
as the Macdonald process of manufac-
turing sound records
The court also denies the relief prayed
by Mr.. Smith in cross bill filed against
the company. in which he asked that the
contract In question be declared valid

ed to pay reasonable Compensation for
the use of process which Smith claimed

ROYALTIES accrued. and If his claim had
been sustained the company might have
Deen liable for nearly $4,000 because of
the great Increase of the business and
the number of records in use
The company denied that the Macdonald
process embodied either the material pro
cess or principle of the Capps process
which figured in the contract. They claim
ed that Mr.. Smith. being director of the
company. could not make a binding con-
tract with the company, and asked that
the contract be declared void, and that

PLANS FOR NEW BRIDGE
TO CROSS ROCK CREEK
Congress Expected to Approve
Drawings for $275,000
Structure at @ Street.

The District Commissioners plans to
beautify Rock Creek valley will have
one of the details made public
for the new bridge to cross Rock creek
at Q street receive the approval of Con-
gress. The Commissioners are confident
that the item Of s275,OOO for this new
bridge will be included in the District
appropriation act. This bridge was one
Of the five big new engineering projects
announced by Commissioner Judson sew
eral months ago, when the estimates for
the Districts finances for the next fiscal
year were made public.
At that time Commissioner Judson said
the new bridge would approach in beauty
the lines of the Connecticut avenue
bridge, but would not cost as much. The
tentative drawings for the bridge, pre-
pared by the superintendent of bridges,
is now in the hands of committees of
Congress which have the matter under
consideration.
II the drawings are followed in the erec-
ton Of the bridge, there will be four large
feet above the bed Of the stream. The
bridge will be about 800 feet long. Two
ten-foot sidewalks and width Of thirty
feet for driveway will give the bridge
plenty of room for all sorts Of traffic, it
IS believed. Approaches to the bridge
will be about 200 feet long.
