ADVERSE TO EDISON
Not Inventor of Motion Picture
Film, Says Judge.
PATENT RIGHTS INVALID
Assignee Declared Not Entitled to
Damages for Infringement.

PATENT RIGHTS INVALID
PREVIOUS DECISION REVERSED

Thomas A. Edison was not the inventor
of the motion picture film, his patent
thereon is invalid. and his assignee, the
Motion Picture Patents Company of New
Jersey is not entitled to an injunction
and damages for infringement of patent
rights against the Chicago Film Company
of Illinois. according to a decision of the
Court of Appeals for the District of Co
lumbia rendered today.
Chief Justice Shepard for the court re-
versed the decision of the Supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia, which had
sustained the Edison patent and had en-
joined the Chicago concern. The suit for
injunction is directed to be dismissed.
The court expresses the opinion that
the flexible transparent or translucent
tape-llke film prepared by taking
photographs was neither discovered nor
produced by Edison. 1t was improved
and brought to its present state Of per-
lection by Eastman. When exhibited to
Edison. says the court. he seized upon
it as the thing needed to make his
camera apparatu complete COM
mercial success. He provided 1T with
perforations along the edges at regu-
lar intervals into which the teeth of
ratchet wheels of the camera entered
to give it the required motion. Similar
perforations. the court finds. had been
previously made in Photographic films
for feeding purposes.
Solved Big Problems.
The court makes no dissent from the
proposition advanced that Mr.. Edison
solved the problems of the motion pic
ture art with great ingenuity and SKILL
but the problems that he solved, it finds,
were in the camera apparatus wherein
his claim to invention lies.
In conclusion. the court holds that the
invention of Edison was exhausted in the
construction of the camera which en-
abled the photographs of moving objects
to be taken upon the Eastman film i'm
the distinct, uniform and satisfactory
manner justly claimed for them.
The pictures are the direct result of
the mechanism of the camera, with the
Eastman mechanically adapted to and
applied therein. the court said.
The effect of the decision of the APP
pellate Court. according to Attorney
Melville Church. who represented the
Chicago company. will be to release
motion pictures from patent rights. If
the lower court had been sustained. the
Edison company would have been en-
titled to royalties for three more years,
it was stated.

Governors to Attend Conference.

A conference will be held at the White
House next Saturday upon the subject
of agricultural credit systems to which
the President has invited the governors of
the state following their annual confer
ence at Richmond, Va. Much of the re-
sponsibility for the successful establish
ment and operation Of agricultural credit
systems in the United States would neces-
sarily rest upon the state governments,
and the President desires to take ad-
vantage Of this opportunity to discuss
this point with the governors.
The American ambassador to France,
Myron T. Herrick, and Senator Fletcher,
president Of the Southern Commercial
Congress, will be present at the confer
ence. Ambassador Herrick is i'm charge
of the State Departments investigation
of the European systems Of agricultural
credit and will give the governors his
views as to the need of constructing a
new financial system to meet the credit
requirements Of American farmers rather
than attempting to transplant to this
country any Of the existing European
systems.

ter OF mile distant, Leaning loose
ly against the long handle OF his
sweep, he was watching the lane OF
bright water that ran between the
black shadows cast by the trees on
either bank
He heard duh splash. and caught
sight OF some object in the eddy that
swept alongside, Mr. Cavendisn
promptly detached himself from the
handle of the sweep and ran to the
edge of the raft.
1t was face, Iivid and blood
streaked. Dropping on his knees he
reached out a pair of long arms and
made dexterous grab, and his Tin
gers closed on the collar OF Yancy's
shirt. He drew Yancy close along
side. and pulled him clear of the wa
ter. Mr.. CRvendish began hurried
examination OF the still figure.
There's a little life here-not much.
Pollyi" he called.
This brought Mrs Cavendish from
one of the two cabins that occupied
the center of the raft. When she
caught sight of Yancy she uttered a
shrek.
Her cry had aroused the other deni-
zens of the raft. Six little Caven-
dishes, each draped in a single gar
ment. tumbled forth from their shell
ter.
Il reckon we'd better lift him on TO
one of the beds-get his wet clothes
off and wrap him up warm" said
Polly.
"oh. put him in our bed!" cried all
the little Cayendishes.
And Yancy was BORNE into the
smaller of the two shanties. where
presently his baneaged head rested
on the long pillow. Then his wet
clothes were hung up TO dry along
with the family wash.
The sheriff had brought the judges
supper. He reported that the crowd
was dispersinl. and that on the whole
public sentiment was not particularly
hostile: indeed he went so far as to
say there existed a strong undercur-

EYES Of NIaht Providers.

Many creatures are noctambulists.
Some have eyes specially adapted to
the conditions of the night. among
them cats, night birds and night but
terfiies. In the eyes of night animals
the ends of the optic nerve are d.
vided into about 12OO00,OO0 cylindric-
al fibers and 10000 conical fibers Ac-
cording to Won Kries. the conicaI
fibers perceive dark colors. Many ami
mails see clearly in the dark because
in their eyes cylindrical and conical
fibers are uniformly intermingled.
The horse follows the road, how
ever dark the night; the owl sees
dark things better than he sees light
things: therefore. 1t is probable that
the cylindrical fibers of his optic
nerves are either more numerous or
more powerful than the conical fibers.

was no place for him.

which to transport his few belongings
and his numerous family.
