REBELS CAPTURE
THE KEY To HAYT|

WASHINGTON. Aug S-AIarming
news of Widespread revolt in Santo
Domingo was received by the state de-
partment today. Minister Furniss at
Port Prince, Hayti, reported that
Dajabon, on the frontier between Hayti
and Santo Domingo, had been captured
by the rebels after a battle lasting
fourteen hours. The rebels are said to
have lost goo men before taking the
town.
Dajabon is considered point of
vantage for the invasion of either Hayti
or Santo Domingo.
1t is feared here that this action may
precipitate open war between Hayti
and Santo Domingo, which has been
threatening for the past two weeks.
The Santo Domingo government al
leges the rebels were aided by Haytians
and it is thought the Haytian govern
ment is behind the movement. If Santo
Domingo wishes to retake DaiabOn
their troops will have to cross the
border, an action which the negro re-
public could not but construe as a dec
laration of war
The customs house a Dajabon is in
charge of an American and there are q
number of other Americans residing IN
that city and vicinity whose lives and
property may be endangered

To SAVE PATENTS
F ROM MONOPOLY
Congressional Committee Rec
ommends New Laws Aimed
at the Trusts.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-Changes in
the existing patent laws to prevent mo-
nopolies in patents are proposed in
bill introduced in the house today by
Representative Oldfield, chairman of
the committee on patents
The bill, which was accompanied by
a report of the committee proposes
three important changes in existing
laws, which, the report frankly states,
are aimed at the Standard Oil, tobacco
and shoe machinery trusts. The three
most important changes are:
Regulation of prices at which pat
ented articles shall be sold with re-
spect to cost of production.
Notification of existing provisions
that the owner of patent may specify
unpatented articles to be used in con-
nection with his patent
Creation of the right to issue com
pulsory licenses and thereby prevent
the suppression of patents in the in
terest OF a combination in restraint of
trade.
Changes Only Helpful.
While expressing it's belief that the
tend to prevent the Shelving" of pat
ents and the suppression of inventions
in the interest of great combinations
the committee expresses the belief that
further changes are necessary before
the patent laws will fit the needs of
commerce.
The present methods of trying pat
ent cases is found by the committee to
be "wasteful and procrastinating, 1t
is now possible, the report asserts, for
the representative of a monopoly to
delay indefinitely the final decision of
his case. AS a remedy, the committee
urges the present rule by which the
plaintiff must show a trust to be an
illegal combination to be done away
with should the combine previously
have been found guilty of operating in
restraint of trade.
The methods of taking examination
in courts of equity is condemned. 1t
is urged the selection of an examiner
| to take evidence with no ordinary rules
as to cross examination is useless.
Delays Should Be Remedied.
The committee concludes with the
opinion that the delay now permitted
in the patent office should be remedied
| The applicant for a patent should be
required within two years to show the
/ merits of his article.
| In addition to specifically denying
! the right of fake patents" the bill
| contains clause which prevents a
corporation from transferring titles of
patents not in use to non residents of
this country and permitting them to
suppress the use of the patents through
the laws of a foreign country. 1t also
provides a forfeiture of patents used to
! restrain trade

WORK ON SEWERAGE
PLANT MAY BEGIN
JUNE lST.

We publish the bond ordinance
adopted by the sewerage board
this week, and understand that
It will only be a short time be-
fore the contract will be let to
construct the sewerage system,
as the sale of the bonds provides
the funds to pay for the work.
It is expected that the work
may begin on the construction
as soon as June 1st, though the
exact date cannot yet be given.
Engineer Kirkpatrick of the
Board has about completed the
plans and specifications for the
system, and has located the puri-
fcation plants and the sewer
pipes.
The smaller of the publication
plants will be located in the rear
of the cabins on the Boagni place
in the southwestern portion Of
the district, the larger one being
located near the Frisco railroad
bridge over the RaWls gully.
These plants are to be con
structed according to the most
scientific plans and insure that
they will not be disagreeabIe to
the people living very near to
them but no one lives nearer to
either than 500 feet, we under
stand. The water discharged
from these plants will be per-
fectly clear and clean and no
danger will result from stock
drinking from the bayous in
which the water will be allowed
to run, the treatment given the
sewage destroying infection.
