FINE RECEPTION
TO PRESIDENT TAFT
Accorded Him on the Pacific Coast
He Reached Portland, Ore,
Last Evening.

Portland, Ore, Oct. l2.--On one of the
busiest days of his present trip, Presi-
dent Taft crossed the Columbia river
into Oregon and arrived in Portland last
night. He spent the day in travelling
south from Tacoma. The only long stop
was made at Olympia, where Mr.. Taft
was the guest at luncheon of Governor
Hay of Washington.
Last night the president dined with
the Portland Commercial club and later
spoke in the armory. AT the Columbus
club Mr. Taft made short talk to the
Knights of Columbus, referring especial.
ly to Columbus day, which, largely
through the efforts of the organization,
was made a legal holiday by the legis-
lature this year.
His reception here and throughout
southwestern Washington was good.
Senator Bourne, one of the leaders Of
the insurgents" in the Senate, who two
years ago entertained Mr.. Taft while IN
Portland, was not present last night, but
other Oregonians OF prominence, includ-
ing Senator Chamberlain and Governor
West, welcomed President Taft to Ore
gon. Senator Bourne is in Washington.
The president spoke on all sorts Of
subjects Yesterday from the tariff vetoes
to woman's suffrage and peace and mr.
bitration and there were many incidents
that contributed to take the day out
of the routine.
At Sopenah. Wash, where a few hun
dred persons had gathered to listen to a
rear platform talk, Congressman War
burton, an insurgent and one of those
who voted for the tariff bill which the
president vetoed in the spring, made the
Introductory speech.
81 wish to introduce our president"
he said. "He has served two years, and
hope he will serve eight years"
At Castle Rock and at Woodland. the
president discussed womans suffrage
briefly. He said that the East was look
ing to Washington, the largest common.
wealth in the world that had woman
suffrage, to prove its wisdom or its
folly.
"If women vote" he said at Wood
land, suffrage will be success. II
they don't, il won't be; but | hope they
will all vote"
At Kalama the president had been
asked to speak on peace and as he
alighted from his train. four doves were
freed by member OF the reception
committee. One circled high above his
head for several minutes while he was
speaking.
The president had a little opposition
at Castle Rock. A man dressed in rod,
who circulated copies OF Socialist news
paper with glaring front page edi.
torial directed against Mr. Taft, tried
to speak against the president, but did
not make much headway.
Just before crossing the Columbia riv.
er at Vancouver, the president said fare.
well to Washington.
A mute near by acted as interpreter
TO a number Of fellow deaf mutes and
kept his fingers flying while the presi-
dent delivered his message of thanks 10
the people Of Washington and explained
what the Panama canal would mean 20
the United States.

be strung between the pioneer power
house and Barre that would increase
the present efficiency 10 per cent. and
that an additional generator is to be put
in at the power station TO make the
auxiliary power equal to the water pow
er.
The situation became quite acute dur
ing the past summer when there was
such a shortage of electric power that
the production of the granite plants was
considerably curtailed The plants were
forced to take turns in suspending OPP
erations for half week, and in this
way large number of workmen were
temporarily thrown out of employment.
This state of affairs caused great
deal Of dissatisfaction among both the
workmen and the manufacturers, result
ing in the conference which was held
last evening.

FIVE WARRANTS ISSUED.
For Alleged False Weights In Burling-
ton Stores.

Burlington. Oct. l2.-Two inspector.
of weight and measure department OF
the state visited Burlington yesterday
on tour of inspection and as a result
FIVE warrants for violations os the laws
were sworn out by Grand Juror S. r.
Moulton. The charges were made by
Inspectors O. S. Fleury of Syanton and
IT. j. Moher of Rutland, and in each
case the violation is claimed to con
sst of the use of liquid measures in
stead Of the measure being done by
weight, as is required by law Those
who, it is claimed. violated the law in
this respect are: G. II. Ellis Ritchie's
creamery, Mrs. Adeline Saltus, J.
0Brien of Hyde street, and l.. Colodny
of North Winooski Avenue.
The inspectors went into stores un.
heralded and bought goods in the ordi-
nary manner. In some places beans were
purchased and IN Others potatoes, ap.
Piles and other merchandise About S9
was spent in this matter and the pur.
chases will be used as evidence ii the
cases are fought, In all, about 20 stores
were visited but only these five were
found to be irregular. In no case were
the scales found to be wrong, the close
inspection made few weeks ago hav,
ing done away with that most common
trouble.
Both Mr.. Fleury and Mr. Meher stat.
ed last evening that every merchant in
the city had been warned on the first
visit that their store would be visited
again and that if anything were found
TO be wrong prosecutions would fol-

The law distinctly provides that all
dry merchandise be measured by weight
and now in some of the stores. which
are complying with the law, no liquid
measures can be found excepting where

for this is that some articles fill up

COURT DECISION
AGAINST kRUPPS
Important Verdict Handed Down in the
United States Circuit Court In
An Alleged Infringement
Case.

Philadelphia, Oct. IA decision of
world wide Importance was handed down
| by the United States circuit court Of
appeals here yesterday when it dis
missed four suits brought by the Krupp
company Of Germany against the Mid
vale Steel company Of Philadelphia to
restrain the Pennsylvania corporation
from infringing on patents for process
of manufacturing armor plate,
| The decision was given by Judge Jo.
seph Burlington and sustains the opin-
| ion of the circuit court, which had de-
creed that the evidence produced before
! the lower court was mot sufficiently sat
isfactory either in quality or amount"
to establish infringement" The appel
late court goes step further and de-
elares that two certain claims in two
OF the Krupp patents are invalid and
that, therefore, there could not be any
| infringement.
The poinion of the appellate court is
not only important to the maritime ma
| tions of the world, but is of the great
est moment to the manufacturers of arm
or plate in the United States When
the latest processes of armor plate man
ufaeture by the Krupp company became
known, the United States government
became interested, and it resulted in the
Carnegie Steel company now a part of
the q. $. Steel corporation, and the
Bethlehem Steel company obtaining Ii
censes to manufacture the Krupp arti-
cles in the United States.
American ships were equipped with
those plates, and in time, statements
We're made on the floor of Congress that
there was combination in the United
States to keep up the price of armor
plate. Then the Midvale Steel company
| became successful low bidder for gov
ernment contracts and little has since
been heard Of alleged combinations in
| this respect. II is said that had the
Midvale company lost its suits it might
have been shut out from successfully
bidding against the concerns holding Ii
eenses to manufacture on the Krupp
process.
The four suits involved alleged in
| fringement on process of manufactur
ing armor plates, on process of hard
ening and toughening armor plate, and
on a process of improving armor plate
The, court takes up the patents and
declares that the fifth claim in pat
ent granted on February II, 1905, for
process in the manufacture of armor
plate, is "void for lack of patentable
novelty" 1t also DEGREES that claim
in patent granted on February 6, 1900,
for process of improving the quality
of steel armor plates, is void. as it
does not involve invention. On the
other two patents the court declares
there was no infringement.
