FREE FROM STRAIGHT JACK
EFT IN HOSPITAL.

Minneapolis, March 28.--Wrench-
ing herself free from straight jack
ct in which she had been placed when
she became delirious, Miss May Nor
rill rushed from her bed in the city
hospital to the sun porch early today,
leaped from the second story window
to , the sidewalk and was fatally in-
.Jured.
The city anlbulauce was just re-
turning from call and the attendants
saw the woman on the walk after
she had fallen.
She was taken i'll Tuesday and
other persons rooming in the same
house sent her to the city hospital.
She became worse and was delirious
and hysterical at times.
DIR. HI, o. Collins said today that
no one could be blamed for the acct

room for delirious patients, but none
was provided for the Minneapolis in

the statute of George Washington,

Lunch in honor of Knox was given
today at the American legation, and a,

The visit to Venezuela promises to

HANNA HITS
At LEGALIzED
MONOPOLIES
Would Change Patent Laws
Of United States
Bills to Effect Recent Decision
Of Supreme Court
Would Compel the Inventor to
Market His Invention

Washington, March 23.--Representa-
tive Hanna of North Dakota yesterday
introduced in the house two bills ex-
pected to relieve the situation de-
veloped by the recent decision of the
supreme court Of the United States
which "legalized monopolies'' under
the patent law.
One of the measures, amending the
patent law, provides that 'Nwfen a
patentee disposes of an article for
which he holds patent, either by
lease or sale, he may do so provided
that when such patent Of the inven-
tion is vended it shall be without re-
striction as to its use with other
patented or unpatented articles"
This is designed to countera.ct the
decision OF the court, which held that
when a patentee either sells or leases
the article for which he holds a
patent he may impose upon the lessee
or the buyer any restriction as to
what articles may be used in connec-
ton with the patented invention as
he may see hit, and depend upon the
law to enforce such restriction. Under
this Interpretation of the law the pat
entee of a sewing machine device, it
was pointed out by Chief Justice white
in a dissenting opinion, might stipu-
late the make of cloth or thread or
needles to be used on the machine and
under the law enforce the stipulation.
Representative Hanna's other bill
amends the patent laws to make it
imperative that when an osrr of
patent right sues for the inf ment
OF those rights, he must show that
within two yeers after he procures the
patent upon his invention or discovery
he marketed and sold the invention.

Great Pomp Marks
Burial OF Last of
Dead From Maine
All the Honor Which Mighty Nation Can Pay Was Shown
at the Funeral Exercises
Government Business Was Practically Suspended to Honor
the Nations Martyrs

Washington March 23!--With ali the
pomp and ceremony that a mighty ma
ton can pay its heroes OF war the
last Of the dead of the Maine were
laid away today at Arlington cemetery.
Side by side with the bodies of
those brought back from Havana har-
Dor after the war with Spain they were
consigned TO the earth of the "Old Do
minion," while the nation paid its last
measure of honor to the unidentified"
Of the catastrophe that brought a war,
changed the map of the world and ex-
tended the empire of the United States
into the far corners of the earth.
Seldom in the history of this coun-
try has there been a higher tribute to
the memory of a man or men than that
for the sixty-four dead of the Maine
Government business in Washington
was practically suspended by executive
order. Taft, most of the members of
the cabinet, the highest officers of the
army, navy and marine corps, officials
of the departments and representatives
Of many foreign powers participated in
the exercises.
Beginning with the removal of the
dead from the United States steamship
Birmingham, which brought them UP
from Havana and ending with the fir
ing Of three volleys of musketry over
the new-made graves, the exercises
were designed to, show all honor and
respect TO the martyrs Of the doomed
battleship. '.-.
The escort for the slow march
through the streets of the capital from
the Birmingham to the state, war and
navy buildings, was picked from the
Birmingham and other vessels now in
Washington.
The speakers who faced the great
crowd in the plaza behind the navy
building were only three, Taft, Father
Chadwick, chaplain of the Maine when
the explosion of Feb. Is, 1898, sent her
to the bottom, and Chaplain Bayard,
Of the United States navy.
The Marine band, the show band of

Washington was chosen to give the
solemn music for the dead and an
army battery stationed near Washing
ton monument was selected TO fire
twenty-one guns in salute as the cere-
monies at the navy building ended
and the quiet march to Arlington was
begun.
Conspicuous among those who paid
tribute to the sailors dead today
were Rear Admiral Charles d, Sigs-
bee, who commanded the Maine at the
time of the explosion; Rear Admiral
Richard Wainwright, Lieutenant Boyd,
and Medical Director L. G. Heneberg-
er, officers under him at the time.
Occupying special reservations, with
those just mentioned on the steps OF
the big granite building were Admiral
Dewey and Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles.
During the memorial exercises was
heard the solemn tolling of the Paul
Revere bell of All Souls Unitarian
church, which has tolled at the funer-
ais of presidents, admirals, generals
and other prominent men.
In the procession to Arlington ceme-
terry, Taft occupied place at the head
Of the mourners. The naval escort
comprised a battalion of marines, two
battalions Of seamen, a naval band
and the District of Columbia militia.
Just ahead OF the thirty-four army
caissons bearing the leaden caskets
were Chaplain Bayard and Father
Chadwick and just behind the flag
draped coffins were the pallbearers
from the navy, honorary paIlbearers
from the United States-Spanish war
veterans and forty-eight bodybearers.
Many distinguished persons were in
the line Of march.
Over the graves in Arlington, the
simple exercises included burial sery-
ices by Bayard and Chidwick, aud
with the firing of three voIleys OF
musketry, the national salute OF TWEEN
ty-one guns and the sounding of the
plaintive sound Of taps" the dead
were given to the earth.

SHOULD not CHANGE.
STATE FAIR DATE.
LAND COMMISSIONER M'DoNALD
OF oPIoNIoN THAT DATE OF
NORTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR
SHOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED
If SUCCESS is DESIRED.

Alex Mcdonald of Bismarck, land
commissioner of North Dakota, is of
the opinion that the date of the North
Dakota state fair should not be chang
"a, as some desire, il success is de-
sired. Secretary Talcott Of the fair
association recently received a COM
munication from the members OF the
Fargo real estate board giving rea-
sons why the dates of the fair should
be changed this year.
There viii be many things to mili-
tate against the success Of the fair II
the association does this" said Com
missioner Mcdonald to Forum rep
resentative today when in the city on
his way home to the capital city. IF
the fair is postponed until August
it will mean that the farmers will be
too busy threshing to leave every
thing to come to the fair. The Iive-
stock men, most of whom are farmers,
cannot find the time then TO come.
IF the fair is postponed until
September there will be too many other
biz state fairs going on down in Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin
FOR the circuits to bother with this.
Naturally enough there are certain
drawbacks to the dates selected as
there have always been both here and
at Grand Forks but that Is an obstacle
that is the lesser Of the two evils One
means the holding of the fair without
great many agricultural exhibits. it

a strike threatens the United States,
which win produce a crisis almost as
