COURT FINDS FILM
PATENT |NFR|NGED
Ansco Company Wins Suit
Against Eastman Firm on
Newarker's Invention.

The Rev. Hannibal Goodwin, rec
tor of the House of Prayer for
twenty years, and who died about
twelve years ago, was the inventor
of the Photographic film which is
now of worldwide use and the manu-
facture of which has netted many
millions for few men who have con-
trolled the patent for the process.
Like most inventors DR.. Goodwin got
small financial benefit from his ideas
and he left a modest estate when he
died.
During the years DIR. Goodwin was
rector the House of Prayer was rit-
ualistic and the rector, a robust man
physically, abounded with human
sympathies. He took an active inter-
est in public affairs and in private
charities and sought to attract wage
earners to the church by making the
sittings free. He was an amateur
photographer of unusual skill and
made study OF the art. Photographs
were then taken on glass and 1t oc-
Cured to DR.. Goodwin to find a sub
stitute that would not be breakable.
He experimental at his house, a
quaint little rectory adjoining the
church on North Broad street, and he
finally succeeded in producing the
film.
The great possibilities of the inven-
ton did not occur to DIR. Goodwin S
mind and it was some time after he
got his patent before 1t was COM
mercialized by manufacturing COM
pany, which Is now represented by the
Goodwin Film and Camera Company.
The profits of the invention led others
to infringe 1t. and in 1898 the East
man Kodak Company began to manu-
facture a similar film. The Goodwin
company became absorbed by the
Ansco Company, of Binghamton. N.
Y, and twelve years ago that COM
pany began suit against the East
man company for infringement of the
patent. In the United States District
Court at Buffalo a decision was rem
dered last week unfolding the ex-
elusive right of the Goodwin company
to the patent.
Since September 10, 1898, the profits
of the Eastman company from the
invention of the late Newark Epis-
copal rector are estimated as high as
$25, 600, 900.
The broad scope of the courts
award Is indicated by the magnitude
of the output of the company declared
guilty of the infringement. On good
authority, the Eastman Kodak Com
pany is said to manufacture 80 per
cent. of all the cinematograph film
produced in the entire world, as well
as exporting large quantities of cart
ridge films and film packs of every
form.

HOW THE EXPRESS :
COMP AN|ES BEGAN
Keen-Witted Yankee Conductor
Started the First With
Only a Suitcase.

There was no such thing as an or
ganized express service in the Onltets
States seventy-five years ago. LACE
year the half-dozen great express
companies of America carried more
than 200,000,OOO parcels.
The express idea was originated by
q keen witted Boston Yankee. Will
lam F. Harnden. He had been
railroad conductor on the old Boston
and Worcester, which later became
part of the Boston and Albany line
His health failed and he cast about
for something easier to do. He could
ride on the railroads for nothing, ow-
ing to his acquaintance among rail-
way men.
He thought and the result was
an advertisement in the daily news
napers of New York and Boston
which said that William F. Harm
den has made arrangements with
the Providence railroad and the
New York Boat Company to run
car through from Boston to New
York, and vice versa, four times
week. He will accompany the cal
himself, take care of all small pack
ages that may be entrusted TO ms
care and see LDefn SAFETY dchNCASb.
Harnden did not have any car ex-
eept in his imagination; but he had
one perfectly good valise and this
sufficed to hold all the packages he
received at first. He styled himself
"the original expressman, an ap-
pellation that he chung to until he
died. His hacker was a New YORK
hotel man.
At first the business was discour-
agingly small. Harnden lost about
$500 in the difference between income
and outgo in. the first half year
when. however, the Cunard line es-
tablished its service between Liver
pool and Boston the express business
took a fresh start and prospered'
Harnden's first competitor was
Vermont grocer, Alvin Adams, tho
founder of the Adams Express Com
pany. Harnden's i'll health mastered
him before he had been three years
in the express business, and he died
without even dreaming of the huge
industry he had founded. Harnden
partner, Wells, started line be-
tween Albany and Buffalo. William
C. Fargo. an ex-railroad man, was
Wells's agent at the latter point The
two formed a partnership in the early
fifties. and the Wells, Fargo IL Co. 8
express was born.
By that time a number of express
companies had been formed, so many
in fact that they were merging to-
gether into larger and larger com
binations and were extending their
lines continually. The American Elk
press Company was established by
Livingston g.. Co. and Wells & Co.
in 1850. In 1854 Harnden's old concern
was taken in by the Adams Express
Company.
In those booming days, when, the
gold rush to California was on and
the flood of treasure had to be car
ried eastward, the express companies
got an impetus that assured their
permanence. Now their field has
broadened far beyond the mere
carrying of packages, although that
still is an enormous industry.

WIFE'S PLEA SAVES MAN
WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

His wife's passionate plea probably
saved Frederick Busch, So years old,
of 1898 South Ninth street, from hav-
ing to face a charge of attempted
suicide today.
He tried to shoot himself on August
with an ancient fowling piece
brought from Germany with him
nearly half century ago. When he
was discharged from the City Hos
pital he was taken to the Fourth pre-
cinct police station, where he was ar
raigned before Judge Herr. Mrs.
Busch in asking the judge to dis
charge her husband said: HE has
worked hard for forty years. Six
months ago he fell and injured his
arm so badly that 1t was crippled. 1t
was because he could not work that
he became respondent"

old, of SS Prince street, appeared be-
fore Judge Herr in the Fourth Pre-

NEWARKERS BACK
FROM CONVENTION
Municipalities League, Which
Met in Winnipeg, Honor Lo-
cal City Officials.

The five delegates sent by the city
as its representatives to the seven
teenth annual convention of the
League of American Municipalities
held in winnipeg, Canada, August Z
8 and 9, James A. Rowe, city auditor
who represented Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling; Elmer A. Day, city treasurer
Jchn p. Donnelly, president OF the
Common Council; Patrick Z. OBrlen
chairman of finance committee OF
council, and w. Frank Hopping, also
a member of the finance committee
have returned home, after an absence
of two weeks.
All of the delegates were loud IN
their praise of the treatment accorded
them and were a bit proud of the
success of Alderman Donnelly, VINO
was elected third vice-president OF the
hague. while City Treasurer Elmer
A. Day was elected sergeant-at-arms
for the ensuing year. Alderman
O'Brien was appointed a member OF
the finance committee.
Citv Auditor James A. Rowe was
particularly honored by the conven-
tion by being called on to lead all the
discussions brought up after speeches.
on different forms of city govern
Yhent, finance, etc. He was the only
Newarker at the convention thus
lionored, although all of the delegates
were held in great esteem by their
fellow lawmakers.
When seen this morning, Mr.. Rowe
said that, inasmuch as he had made
no report to Mayor Haussling, whom
he represented at the convention, ne
would not go into details about the
convention proper and the work ac-
complished, but from facts CLEANED
from the Winnipeg press 1t would
seem that "Our James" was one or
the notables in attendance.
In his speech on finances at the con-
vention Auditor Rowe said in part:
1--WE have no trouble in Newark with
finance and with borrowing money.
We are very proud of the fact that
during the past year we have Dor
rowed very largely from our own
sinking fund at per cent, which
was very low and a lower rate than
could have been secured had we been
compelled to go outside for the
money"
Speaking of Winnipeg, that wonder
full CITY of Western Canada, Mr.. Rowe
said: ats wonderful progress almost
stunned our comprehension. / find II
difficult to realie that city could
have such a marvellous growth as this
splendid city of the Domonion."
In reply to questions at the conven-
ton asking what rate Newark as
sessments bore to the value of the
property, Mr.. Rowe told them about
so per cent. Mayor Deacon, of Winni-
peg, explained that he was afraid the
system adopted in Newark would not
be practicable in a city like Winnipeg.
which was growing so rapidly. Mr..
Rowe replied that Newark was settled
in 1866 whereas Winnipeg was new
city and was growing to such an ex-
tent that methods would have to be
adopted to meet the changing circum-
stances. I'm Newark we had great
many years experience to work
upon" He further explained the
various systems used in the different
departments of the city government
and drew much applause from the
representatives of other municipat-
:. ties who will install the systems used
M Newark in their own cities.
