WRIGHT BROTHERS
WIN PATENT SUITS
BY Associated Press.


PARIS. April 29.-In a decision today
by the third civil tribunal in the suit
OF the Wright brothers against several
French aeropIane manufacturers for an
infringement OF patents. the court up
held the contention of the pIaintieffs In
principle. but declared that 1t did not
wish at present TO render definite de-
cision, as the science OF aviation was too
new to admit OF an arbitrary finding in
such q case.
Therefore the court appointed three ex-
perts TO investigate whether there ex-
listed aviation discoveries calculated to
disprove the priority of the American
avlators' inventions and patents.
The Wright suit against Santos Du-
mont was, however. dismissed on the
ground that the defendant constructed
aeroplanes only for his personal use.
In the suits instituted at Paris, Will
bur and Orville Wright alleged that the
defendants lnfringed their patents. which
covered inventions peculiar to their ma
chimes; laying special stress on the warp
Ing wing principle. which they claimed
to have developed and patented in 1903.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Sporting

third party. his version of the causes
that led to his defeat by Jack John.

rival here, it is said Jeffries has been
approached by scores of his old ad-
mirers who sincerely believe that he
was "doped' when he went into the
ring at Reno
He was adverse to reopening that
the part of men who still believe him
TO be Johnson s superior broke his
resolution.
The confession. il is said, is to be
made by conscience stricken member
of the Jeffrics training camp. The
outline of the story as il was TO be
published is that this person S con
science has awakened after close to
ten months to confession that all was
not right in the Jcffries camp and
that the then champion was victimized

OF course. the details were kept hid

the conscience stricken party would
tell how Jeff became so i'll, or was
made so i'll. that he was unable TO eat
anything for three or four days before
the fight and subsisted entirely on
water.
The result, of course, was that Jeff
went into the ring as weak as a baby
and was easy prey for Johnson.
la connection with the exposure it
was also stated that Jeff took enough
stock in the story that he had been
doped to employ detectives to throw
some light on it.
The reports of these detectives were
TO be incorporated in the confession.
To those who were in Reno before
and after the fight the rumored allie
CATION that Jeff had nothing but water
