tate of the late Robert w. Morgan of
Bronxyilie. n. Y, has filed a petition in

lumba against Edward NJ Moore, COM
missioner of patents.
The plaintiff. who is a resident Of Yon-

OF this city, asks the court for a decree
Glowing that Robert w. Morgan was the
S4entor OF a certain 'incandesoent lamp
occurring means" and to compel the COM
missioner of patents to grant her a pat
ent on the device.
1t is declared in the petition that Mr..
Morgan invented the device by which
means an incandescent lamp can be lock-
ed in its socket and not removed except
by special key. She declares several

oy the patent Office. An appeal was taken
to the Court Of Appeals of the District

GIVES ARTISTIC TOUCH
TO THE PANAMA CANAL
Amendment to the Bill Adopted
Upon Motion of Senator
NeWIands,

Through the efforts Of Senator New
lands the Senate has placed a provision
in the Panama canal bill authorizing the
national commission Of arts to visit the
isthmus and report to Congress how the
great work can be appropriately crowned
by some artistic design. During the de-
bate yesterday Mr.. Newlands said:
"In ancient times no great structure OF
this kind was completed without utilizing
great men in architecture. sculpture and
painting, and their work has gone down
to posterity with the work Of the great
constructors.
Material Easily Nodded.
1--WE have been utilizing in the con-
struction Of this canal q vehy plastic ma
terial-concrete-which can be nodded into
any form without additional expense. and
which can be made attractive in appear
ance as we'll as useful in purpose.
There has been a strong movement IN
this country, almost ignored by Congress
but a movement which has strong hold
upon the American people, In favor OF
ganized all over the country associations
of architects, artists. sculptors. engineers.
associations devoted to the arts. national
organizations in each Of these assoc1a-
lions, ana a 1eQerdtlOn OF arts WHICH Is
bringing them all into active cooperation
They have developed a journalism Of their
own and are doing much to Impress the
public opinion of the country.
Together in Great Enterprises.
I'm great private enterprises tho artist,
the engineer and the constructor are
yoked together for effective work. Go
into the offices Of our leading architects
and you will find artists. designers,
craftsmen. engineers, all working with
perfect system.
1T seems to me that this is an appro-
pirate time to bring the commission of
arts, recently organized by national legis-
lation. into cooperation with the Panama
canal commission, and that they should
be called upon to make some suggestions
that will enable us to crown this struc-
ture with an artistic demonstration, so
that 1t will be representative to the ma
ions of the world and to future genera
tons of both the constructive genius and
the culture of our time
Mr.. Newlands' amendment is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE President, before the completion
OF the canal, shall cause the commission
of arts to make report Of their recon-
mendation regarding the artistic char
acter OF the structures Of the canal, such
report to be transmitted to Congress-"

car whizzed by on the Pennsylvania line.
He knew it was a wreck car. because
he had seen one before. Sherlock-like,
the farmer deduced: Where there is q
wreck car there must be a wreck.
He gazed down the track and saw the
wreck train stop at LandOver. Deduction
No. 2: The wreck must be near Landover.
A Pennsylvania passenger train that
leaves the Union station in Washington
shortly before Z o'clock in the evening
had Just passed. Deduction No. 3: That
passenger train must have been wrecked.
Deduction No. followed quickly: When
passenger trains are wrecked. passengers
are frequently killed.

Result: Pennsylvania headquarters at
Wilmington, Del, were Immediately .ad-
vised that a passenger train had been
wrecked near Landover. Md. and sew
eral passengers had been killed.
Immediately the flash went over the
wires from Wilmington, and trainmasters.
operators, signalmen and other railroad
ers became busy. No word had been re-
ceived at the Union station of any wreck,
and the trainmaster had a busy time
answering telephone calls and trying to
sandwich in between them frantic appeals
for information directed to the operator
at LandOyer.
