0RWLLE WRIGHT AND
CURT|SS MEET HERE
But Rival Aeroplane Manufacturer
Do Not Discuss Patent
Litigation.
Machine for Transatlantic Flight to
Be Given First Test Early
Next Month.

OrvilIe Wright and Glenn Curtiss met
in Washington yesterday, and after
passing the time of day at the hotel
where they were both stopping MT.
Curtiss went to Hammondsport, N.
Y, and Mr.. Wright went on to New
York, where there was a business
meeting of the Wright Aeroplane Com
pany scheduled. Mr.. Curtss said after
the meeting that they did not discuss
business at all, and that there was moth
ing settled about the patent litigation that
has been pending between Curtiss and
the wrights for years. The general i'm
preston, however, was that the meeting
of the two at this particular time was
not without business feature. The liti-
cation between Curtiss and the Wrights
has covered three years, and cost roughly
about So 900 on each side. An effort was
made recently to bring it for review be-
fore the Supreme Court OF the United
States, but the Supreme Court refused to
take jurisdiction, and the New York court
sustained the original injunction that has
been granted against Glenn Curtiss and
the Herring -Curtiss Company for the in
fringement of the Wright patent.
Now that the long-drawn-out hght mas
come to an end, there is great deal
of difference among legal and aviation
experts as to just what the. decision
amounts to. Taken in its simplest terms
the Injunction seems to mean that Cur
tisshaslost the suit and that the Wrights
are granted a patent of rather limited
scope. There is room, however, for dis
cussion over even this limited interpre-
tation, because the Curtiss aeroplane no"
is a rather different machine from that
over which the original proceedings were
started No matter how the decision is
interpreted, it is fairly certain that there
is material in the situation for another
long -drawn-out legal fight. and there IS
considerable doubt expressed among aVi-
ators as to how far the Wright COM
pany will be able to recover any damages
from the Curtiss company, even II the
matter is allowed to drop where 1t now is.

it will be comparatively easy for the
aviators to summon assistance when their
fuel supply has been reduced to within
one or two hours of depletion.
Mr.. Curtiss met while here with Arnold
Kruckmann, who Is managing the world
circuit aeroplane race for the Panama
Pacific exposition. Mr.. Curtiss said that
whatever data was accumulated on the
transatlantic fight would be placed at
the disposal of the world racers whenever
the globe-circling flight was started. 1t
is understood that some of the American
entrants for the world s-circuit race have
already contracted for some Of the two
hundred-horse-power engines, such as the
Curtiss machine will use In the trans
atlantic flight.

grow rapidly.

PROMINENT MEN OF CITY HAVE
TESTIFIED IN BEHALF OF COR
PORATION IN ITS SUIT WITH
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The introduction of testimony in be-
half of the United States Steel corpor
alton before Examiner John Arthur
Brown in the case of the United States
against the corporation will be re-
sumed this morning at 1880 o'clock.
David Reed, counsel for the Steel cor
poration, will conclude with his wit
nesses by noon, it is believed, and the
examiner and officials of the court will
leave for New Orleans. where additional
evidence will be gathered for the steel
corporation.
The attorneys for the Steel corpora
ton and the many local persons inter-
ested are very much pleased with the
character of evidence secured for TIE
corporation. 1t is the opinion that the
corporation has succeeded so far as
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company and this district is concerned
in making out a good case. 1t has been
stated by many of the best informed
industrial men of the city while wit
nesses that the acquisition of the Ten

DICK WRAY ASKS
CHANGE OF VENUE
He Will Face Four Indict-
ments in Criminal Court
= Wednesday

Application for a change of venue
has been made by William Vaughn, at
torney for Dick Wray. against whom
several indictments are pending in the
first division of the criminal court, and
which are set for trial Wednesday, JAM
uary IA. The application was an oral
one and made before Judge w. E. Fort.
The contention was that owing TO
recent happenings in which Dick Wray
was brought into prominence the de-
fendant's cause would be subject to
prejudice and that a fair and impair
tial trial could not be had. Judge Fort
held that the proper time to present
the application would be when the trial
was called and that he could not, en-
tertain the motion without hearing the
facts of the case other than a mere
oral statement.
1t is understood that the application
will be renewed on the day set for
the trial of Wray. There are four cases
pending against Wray, all set for
Wednesday. He is charged with operat-
ing a gambling table, two cases; carry
ing concealed pistol, and violating the
prohibition law.

fixed prices. They stated further that
in their opinion there is at this time
a sufficient quantity and quality of ore
here to enable any other company II
come here with sufficient money and
operate steel mills IL any such COM
pany was so inclined. The testimony Of
Mr. Bowron on that point as we'll as
p. G. Shook was considered of great
Importance.
1t is stated that in nearly every local
ity where examinations have been made
the Steel corporation has been very
successful. The lack OF fixed prices, the
ability of any prospective competitors
to acquire properties and the vast bene-
fits that have accrued to all communi-
ties entered by the corporation have
been features dwelt upon in the ex-
TESTIFY about the consideration of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany officials in giving first aid cars,
men, equipment and money towards res
cueing imprisoned miners at explosions.
The policy, as carried out by local Of
ficials to treat all the employees with
consideration and fairness and to be-
come factor for the general uplift
and progress of the district has been
testified to. The policy of the company
in reference to its employees was n3t
taken up here as 1t previously was EN-
braced in the testimony of officers as
a general policy of the corporation and
not confined to any subsidiary.
