WRIGHT PATENTS
 MAY BE AFFECTED
Man Applied for Patent on Flying Machine
 in 1900

Washington, April LA decision, which may affect the patents of the Wright Brothers, Curtiss and other aeroplane in- ventors. was ma6e today by the District of Columbia court of appeals, when it reversed the action of the commissioner of patents and authorized the reinstate- ment of an application of Hugo Mattulath of New York for a patent on flying machine, frGer January 8, 1900.
 When the application was examined in 1900. the official report on it read:
 NO successful attempt has yet been made to rise from the earth's surface by means of an aerial vessel unprovided with q balloon" and concluded with the observation that ''the practicability of the apparatus is so problematical that actual demonstration of operativeness will be re- qulred before the grant of a patent"
 Mattulath died shortly afterward and it was not until 1909 that his widow dis covered the application. She filed an application in revive but this was denied by the patent authorities.
 Several years after Mattuath applied for his patent, the Wright brothers per fected their biplane. Curtiss also in- vented one. Litigation between the two brought to light that Mattulath's appli- cation contained specifications for a wing tip flexing device.

USE 0F SACCHAR|N NOW PROHIBITED
Pure Food Boards Regula- tiOn Went Into Effect
 Yesterday

Washington, April 1.-The pure food boards order regulating the use of sac- charin in foods, as a substitute for sugar, became effective today. In that connec- tion attorneys for certain food manufac- turers made public a letter to the Secre- tary of Agriculture. protesting the de- cision of the board, gave the impression the use of saccharin was prohibited ab- solutely The letter declares the decision permits the use of saccharin providing a label indicates it is used for the benefit of those to whom sugar may be deleteri- ous to health.
 The order of the board specically per mts the use of saccharin in food for in valids or semi-invalids, who cannot use sugar and the food manufacturers argue that it is obvious therefore that it's use cannot be regarded as dangerous to the health of well persons. They argue fur ther that sugar is used as condiment, and that the public should have the priv ilege of choosing between sugar and sac charln providing the presence of the lat ter ingredient is distinctly declared upon the label.

 SMITH COTTON MEASURE
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, April 1-(Special.) )-Ala- bama and other southeastern cotton brok- CTS are very much interested in a bill that was recently introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina which prohibits the sale or transfer of cotton on any but the standard grade recently fixed by the department of agriculture.

sissippi river, the system will not apply 10 the cotton grown east of the river.
 The Well Bros.' Cotton company of Montgomery has filed a strong protest with Senator Bankhead and also with the department of agriculture in which the impracticability of the system is clearly set forth. The Alabama dealers claim that the staple grown in Alabama and other eastern states is of a different grade and color to that grown west and that If the governments system of grading is forced on the eastern buyers it will cause much confusion if not serious loss.
 The department has promised to make an investigation of the alleged difference in staple and the proposed legislation will probably be held up.
