TO CURB PATENT MONOPOLY
Several Bills In Congress in Answer
to Appeal Of Chief Justice
White.

| Washington, March 13.-SeveraI
bills to curb the monopolizing power
of patentees over unpatented articles
used in operating patented machines
appeared in congress. Old bills were
revived and new ones drafted in re-
spouse to the appeal of Chief Justice
White OF the Supreme court for con-
gress to change the law which a ma
jority OF the court ruled gave pat
entees practically unrestricted priv
ileges regarding the manner in which
their patents may be used.
Z. B. Moore, commissioner of pat
ents, has prepared bill to amend the
law so that patentees may not impose
onerous conditions upon purchasers OF
their patented articles. Senator Gore
may reintroduce bill he presented to
congress last year regulating license
restrictions" in the sale of patents.

PACKERS GIVEN BLOW
PLEA TO oUksH CASE OVER
RULED BY JUDGE CARPENTER.
Counsel for Beef Men Asks for Detay
Because Defense Is Not Ready
to Proceed.

Chicago, March ia desperate
fight for delay, resulting in temper
airy respite, was made by attorneys
for the indicted packers, following
Judge Carpenters refusal to take the
case from the jury.
Brushing aside techniCalities urged
by the defendants, Judge Carpenter
declared that the alleged criminal acts
committed by the defendants corpora
lions could not be charged to the Off
ciousness Of underlings, and referred
10 tho absurdity Of the court being eX-
pected to be blind to things that are
apparent to all others.
That the packers had expected to
obtain their liberty through the efforts
of their attorneys was shown by the
motion that John S. Miller made fol
lowing Judge Carpenters blow to the
hopes of the defendants, asking for
delay on the ground that the defense
was not ready to proceed. As it has
been more than three months since
the choosing of the jury began, it was
assumed by all concerned that the
packers had ample time to- prepare
their fight for liberty.
In answer to the plea of the defend
ants that they did not know that many
of the things brought out by the gov
ernment were going on in their bust
ness, Judge Carpenter said:
1t was the business OF these men
to know what was going on, if crimi-
nal acts were being committed. A
great piece of machinery, taken to
bits, is useless and harmless. SO with
the industry on trial. The fact that
an individual does not know what is
going on does not acquit the assem-
bled machinery of guilt

Hundreds Injured When Rioting
! Miners Are Charged.
HELP OF TROOPS is ASKED
Over 100000 Men Are Out in West
phalian Distriet-British Galleries
10 Owners and Miners Hold
Conference.

Berlin, March 13.-The second day
OF the strike of the coal miners in
Germany shows the movement max
ing considerable progress in all dis
tricts, attended in several instances
by rioting of a serious character.
In the Westphalian district 10000
men are out, thus equaling the great
strike Of 1905. The number is ex-
pected to be largely augmented and
owing to the fear of further trouble
the Christian trades union and mine
owners telegraphed the minister Of
the interior to place detachments of
troops in all districts where trouble
is expected, as the police we're be-
lieved to be inadequate.
Strikers and Police Clash.
The most serious conflict was near
Hamborn, in the Dusseldorf district,
where a mob of $500 strikers who
were waiting for those still at work,
threw stones and bottles and fired re-
volvers at detachment of police who
were trying to preserve order. Five
Of the policemen we're seriously in
jured. The police in retaliation then
charged with revolvers and drawn
sabers, injuring a hundred or more Of
the strikers.
Crowds Charged With Sabers.
At many other points the police
used their sabers in dispensing crowds
Of strikers, but the number of casual
ties has not been reported.
Owing to the shortage Of men, most
OF the mines are being worked on half
shifts.
The mine owners have invited
committees representing the miners
from individual mines to meet in con-
ference. Many of the owners, how
ever. are known to be absolutely op-
posed to granting. any wage schedule.

London, March 13.-Although there
are many difficulties in the way of a
settlement OF the great BLACK strike"
which since the beginning of the
month has involved the throwing out
Of employment Of over 100000 men
In England, Scotland and Wales, the
fact that the two sides have come
together in an effort to settle the dis.
pute has cleared the atmosphere a
tribe, although the conference pre-.
sided over by Premier Asquith, OF
mine owners, miners and representa-.
tives of the government, adjourned
after three hours discussion with
'out having reached any agreement.
1t "a hoped, however, that the nego,
,t'ations when resumed may take a
favorable turn.
2 The difficulty in the way of agree.
ment lies in the objection of the own
ers of the Scotch and Welsh collieries
to the minimum wage proposition
which has been accepted by the Brit
