WOULD COMPLETELY REVISE PATENT LAWS
Bills Provided to Meet the Decision of Supreme
 Court

Washington, April n.-Compiete feRi- sion and codifieation of the patent laws to meet the recent patent monopoly de- eision of the supreme court is provided in bills introduced today by Senator Brown and Representative oldfeld, the chairmen of the patent committees of both houses The measure was framed by Commissioner Moore of the patent office.
 Purchasers of patented articles would have use without restriction or limit, and patent owners could not stipulate in sale or lease the purchase or lease of any materials to be used on the patented de- vice. A compulsory license system is provided. with intent to prevent the stifling of competition by classes of man ufacturers who now buy and do not use patented devices for articles with which they compete.
 The bearing of the decision upon the governments civil and criminal suits against the United Shoe Machinery com- pany was discussed at the department of justice today It is expected the de- fendants in the criminal case will ask to have the indictments quashed.

NEVILLE DEFENDS COTTON EXCHANGE Speculation Is Necessary to Retain Equilibrium of
 Trade

Washington, April 11.-George Neville. president of the New York Cotton Ex- change, defended that institution today against the anti-option bills pending be- fore the House committee on agricul- ture.
 MT. Neville said the privilege of hedg- ing and dealing in contracts on cotton futures was necessary to retain the equi- librium of the cotton market. Specula ton, he averred, was a necessary condi- tion to provide a free market at all times of the year. He said he thought the bills would mean the abolition of cot ton exchanges and the consequent de- moralization of the cotton industry in the United States
 Howard Ayers. president of the China Japan Trading company, spoke against the bills. He argued that If cotton men were not permitted to deal in futures the cloth market will huctuate violently.
 George R. Rembert, a Columbia, s. C., Ia awyer, admitted he was a cotton spec ulator pure and simple,r and that while he raised cotton, he went Into the cot ton market to take a chance" He said 1t was the speculative class that kept the market active.
 Do you believe in gambling?' he was asked.
 That's a matter of opinon.' said MT. Rembert. "Ill bet on a horse race and do not think 1t is a crime to do so'
 L. R. Brooks of Augusta, Ga cot ton broker, also spoke against the bill.

FEDERAL AID FOR DRAINAGE
 PROJECTS URGED BY SPEAKERS

New Orleans, April 11.-An immediate gathering of the friends of national drainage projects in Washington to fur ested in the National Drainage con- gress. was urged by Senator Francis c. Newlands of Nevada in his address today before the congress in session here.

 Congressman Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana, president of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, and Col. E. J. Watson. commissioner of agri- culture, commerce and industries of South Carolina, created enthusiasm with their appeals to the delegates and officers of the congress to carry on the fight relentlessly for federal recog- milton.
 South Atlantic and gulf states, through S. W. Metallic. state geologist of Georgia Colonel Watson, South Carolina; pr. oscar Bowling, president of the Louisiana state board of health, and pr. Creighton Wellman of the med ical department of Tulane university, told the congress what was being done in these states in the way of drainage and conservation
 Congressman Ransdell, speaking of the present flooded condition of Mississippi river. took occasion to re- flute statement recently made that Louisiana was in danger of being flooded He said that only one-third of the state could possibly be visited by such a catastrophe, but that this was even very remote as the levees were absolutely in no danger of giving way
 Senator Newlands. in beginning his address. brought applause from the delegates when he read from the plat forms of both big political parties the promises contained in each regarding drainage and reclamation.
 Senator Newlands reminded the dele gates that the democrats had been in power in the House for some time and that this pledge of conservation was

Cuba Must Be Model State

Providence has called upon free Cuba to be model state among the popular commonwealths of the world and has opened the way to the achievement of that noble purpose. That is the goal for which we have, with you, spent our blood and treasure, and to which our earnest efforts will ever be directed
 "A people liberated from oppressive tyrany are -no Better off if unrestrainad by selfshness, which almost inevitably leads to anarchy. A people so situated can not profitably exercise the right of self government unless they work faithfully together with singleness of aim. Mis- trust, jealousy. seli1shness, aloofncss apathy will rob a people of their birth right There is always more to unite than separate all classes of citizens. and in Cuba, as in all republics, all classes should be alert in the consciousness of their civic duties. and should not remit the destinies of their country to the hands of a few, who. with nothing to loose and everything to gain, make business of the politics of their country.
 Tt is the fervent prayer of my govern ment and my countrymen that free Cuba abide steadfastly in the high station to which providence has called her, sturdy with, ,the strength of stable, safe control, free from the inhrmities that beset weak peoples earnest in the path of self de- velopment."
