THE PATENT DEC1SIoN.--Thc decision
in the case of Sidney against the y. H.
Dick Company, in which the supreme
Court held. by vote Of four TO three, tiiat
a patentee could exercise practically uh-
limited control ayar an article manu-
featured under his patent, is regarded as
little short of deplorahie by those officials
Of the government who realize how far-
reaching this opinan is, and confidence is
expressed that the court will grant re-
hearing or that legislation nullifying the
effect Of the decision will be promptly
passed. Such legislation is favored by all
the members Of the ceurt. 1t is regarded
as remarkable that. with the court 30
closely divided, a decision should not have
been deferred until Justice Day and pros
pectiye Justice Pitney could have taken
part in it. and II Is believed that even
now rehearing will be granted in order
that the case may be decided by the full
court. But even should that he done. an
earnest effort will he made TO secure a
modification of the law unless the court
after a second hearing, reverses itself. II
is matter OF some satisfaction to the ad-
mnistration that the three justices who
dissented were all appointed by President
Taft. The administration has found itself
in its prosecution of combinations under
the Sherman law constantly confronted by
the question Of how far pateHtee could
so TO control the sale of articles manu-
featured under his patent, and this de-
cision has been awaited with more than
ordinary interest. There Is no doubt that
the dissenting opinion Of the Chief Justice
found a sympathetic ear In the administra-
tion. and that the hope is cherished that
when there is a rehearing by the full court
a majority of the tribunal will be found
conciding with the opinion of the Chief
Justice. IL this does not follow, legisle-
tion will be needed and Immediately urged
70 prevent menopolies which are regarded
as wholly unwarrantable and which would
inevitably result from the literal applca-
tion of the views of the present majority.
Representative Littleton announced to-day
that he had a bill ready TO introduce which
would correct the evils which must follow
the decision of the court unless legislation
is enacted, and Senator Brown. chairman
OF the Committee on Patents, has called
meeting of his committee to consider
what steps should be taken to obviate un-
toward results.

But I'm 1900 il changed hands, and its
600 to S5.OO00N0. while a bonded debt
of S30OO,000 was to supply still more
funds. II there was water in this capt.
talization, AIr. Wise said, it showed only
a dollar for each dollar of water that
was in the capitalization of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company.
"The man who WAS promoting this en-
terprise was promoter Mr.. wise saloi :

Let Mr.. Nicoll make all the fun Of him
he pleases But there was the corpora
ton. and in 1903 substantial. intelligent
business men in New York, Philadelphia
and other places, institutions, hospitals
and colleges. had invested their money
in this enterprise. More than Sl,WoUoD
OF real money had been put up by hon
est men. not by Adolph segal, not by
any wildcat promoter"
Planned to Prevent Monopoly.
With that money, MIR. Wise went on,
the finest refinery ever built IN IN S
country was constructed. In order 20
prevent any monopoly from acquiring
this plant the men who had put UP the
money agreed upon voting trust. ana
they had the contractor who had re-
ceived the ma jority OF the stock as mis-
profit on the enterprise pool his stock
with them
As that refinery was building brick by
brick. the prosecutor said, the defend
ants, impelled by the purpose that had
controlled their action for upward OF
twenty years, had their chief engine n
sneaking down to Philadelphia, by de-
ceit getting into the plant and watching
the machinery installed and the work
done. He reported his findings TO the
executive committee of the American
Sugar Refining Company and mean
while George H. Frazier, a member Of
the board, was getting data In Phila-
delpha and sending them 10 Mr.. Par
sons and Mr.. Havemeyer, advising him
self by personal contact I'm an undis-
closed way with Segal as 10 the latter's
promotions. And he reported that some
OF those enterprises were wildcat
schemes Mr. Wise declared; that they
were gcIng TO burst, and that when they
did burst, II they had Segal properly
hamstrung in the Pennsylvania company
that company would go with the rest.
And Washington B. Thomas, vice.
president and subsequently president Of
the American company was commune
CATH with his cousin, David Stetson, a
member OF the Manufacturers Club OF
Philadelphia Mr. Wise said. "and Cou-
sin David. in that friendly way that
men engage their neighbors in their
private clubs, was getting information
from Segal. And Mr.. Thomas and
Cousin David We're fully advised Of the
position OF the Pennsylvania Sugar Re-
fining Company and knew exactly how
to let II go, to the nice point where.
whenever a dollar had been put into It.
they could step In and sever the cord
and let the whole edifice tumble. And
they did It, gentlemen"

Says Defendants Waited.

Mr.. Wise then described tho loan OF
81, go. 900 made to segal by the Amcri-
can Sugar Refining Company through
the defendants. The loan was not made
until December 81, 1908, he said, but
in September OF that year the defend
ants were sitting IN solemn judgment
upon the question ,'f whether or not
they would pluck II then or wait little
while longer, and they did not think 1t
was quite ripe and they let It go on a
little longer George II. Earle and
others then camS forward to advance
money to the Pennsylvania company to
start operations, Mr.. Wise said. and as
soon as the defendants learned of this
they decided that IL was time TO head
off any such attempts.
Segal was in financial difficulties
through his building Of the Majestic
Apartments, and Gustav Kissel finally
engineered him in taking loan of 81
10000 from the defendants, Mr.. Wise
said, adding:
Here we find a capitalist lending
Sl25O.0c0 upon collateral not worth
$3.50, 600, which Is not marketable at all,
aud we arc told that II is a loan. But
there Is something that goes along be-
sides those bonds as an absolute cOndi-
ton and as the most important consid-

STANDARD OIL STOCK.-There is no
ground for the reports that the administra-
ton believes the Standard Oil Company has
violated the decree of dissolution, although
the operations of the company are being
closely watched. The rapid rise of the price
Of the stock OF the Standard is accounted
for on different grounds. IL is remarked
that IL has long been the custom OF that
company 10 permit its capital stock TO re-
main stationary. despite the advances in
value of its real properties. while the re-
cent prosecution by the government

general demand has followed and has
boosted the stock TO its present quotations,
but that after q little the pendulum will
swing back and that the stock will assume
something closely approximating it's normal
value. 1t is not believed that the officers
Of the company have undertaken to cir
cumvent the decree OF the court or that
they would hazard the danger Of being
committed for contempt of court for so do
