that the lines of the Central Pacific form

Attack on oldfeld Bill.

The Oldfeld bill is analyzed in an ex-
tended manner by the report; with the
general conclusion that the provisions of
the bill which connect patents and pat
ented property with the violations of the
Sherman antitrust act are entirely IN
necessary and vicious in their tendencies
as they attempt TO make acts and con-
tracts which are now lawful presumptjye
evidence OF an unreasonable restraint OF
trade.
The passake of such a bill would be
menace to the patent system under which
the country has prospered; would result
in no benefit to the public at large. would
enormously increase the expenses OF liti-
cation, and would cause unnecessary re-
straint upon the manufacturing inter
eSts of the country without any corre
spending benefit it is declared.
The memorandum in referring to the
proposed expert commission on patents is
worded in part as follows:
As TO the third recommenda ton. for
the appointment of an expert patent com
mission, we have to say that the whole
subject OF patent legislation is so com
plicated, SO far-reaching in its effect SO
dependent upon a knowledge of the his
tory and operation of existing law and SO
Tar removed from the understanding and
intelligence of the average citizen. par
dcularly from that of those who are like
" to be active in attacks upon successful
business enterprises, that the wisest
course that can now be pursued is to
induce Congress after passing d bill ere
ating court of patent appeals and max
ing two simple amendments to the Kahn
law TO postpone all other patent legisla-
hon until a special commission can be ap-
pointed TO consider the whole subject, and
other legislation Is demanded in the pub
lie interest -

Commend Effect of Laws.

In a memorandum accompanying the
report, the committee which is composed
OF three groups, one each in Rochester,
in Washington and in Detroit. agreed in
commencing the general effect of present
patent laws as stinulators of the in
ventive faculty, and as protecting the
inventor by giving him seventeen years
OF exclusive proprietorShip. In this
connection the memorandum says:
1T is to be feared that the conse
quences which would follow any serious
limitation of the legal and proper pro-
prietorship intended to be secured to a
bona fide inventor under the present
patent laws. as is proposed in number
of bills which have been introduced into
the Congress are hardly appreciated,
and earnest efforts should be made by
constituent members of the chamber in
all parts Of the country. to educate the
public TO differentiate between the
Inonopolizing of articles of necessity and
the restricted and limited control by the
inventor of his own invention, conferred
by patents. Under the present
law there is every incentive for the in
ventor to devise as many new things as
possible and to place descriptions of them
on the public records. These things are
of his own creation and new or he
could not obtain his patent, and as every
one can use them freely, after the eN-
piration of the patent, he has not taken
anything from the public, but has added
to the worlds knowledge by disclosing
for the first time something new.

Choral Union

One month from today the Second An
nual Musical Festival under the auspices
OF the Morrisville Choral Union will be
but memory, and we trust another sue
cess will have been scored to the credit
! of our community 1t is something to
be proud of, an organization ofthis kind.
There are many qualities necessary for
the making OF a good chorus, among
them loyalty, enthusiasm, intelligence,
steadfastness of purpose, and obedience.
Loyalty is the thing that drags the
| members of the chorus to the practice
hour through snow and slush and rain,
and keeps them coming despite numerous
other duties. Enthusiasm puts spirit
into their work. Intelligence makes it
possible for them to grasp the intricaces
of difficult music in a way which would
do credit to a much older and wiser ag-
gregation of musicians. Steadfastness of
purpose renders them wiling to ego over
that once more" for the fortieth time, if
need be, in order to get it just right. and
obedience to the instructions of our Di-
rector is the thing that YIELDS eighty
separate individuals into an harmonious
whole. Isn't it fact to be proud of that
this town contains SO many people who
possess all these attributes! Doesn't that
fact merit the support of the worthy
object for which. they are working?
Think it over during the coming three
weeks. Clean up, paint up, brighten up,
all you will. but don't forget that on
May 10th, Goth, and Dist will occur one
of the biggest events in the history of
Morrisvlle, Be ready to do your share
to make it the biggest ever.

the special venire, to fill the 18th
chair in the jury box. He answered
all queries satisfactorily and was
quickly passed for cause. The prose
cution waived its third peremptory
challenge and the defense excused
Hugh H. Walker. ...,.
Frederick c. Bailey was called to
fill that vacancy. In answer to ques-
tions he stated he was residing at
Mrs. Gassidy's hotel on the beach at
the time of the Guertler homicide;
that the affair was discussed freely
by himself and others at the hotel at
the time, particularly because Mar
shall and his roommate, c. F. Drew,
were living at Cassidy's then. He
said Drew had discussed it with him,
hut asserted he had formed no opin-
ion concerning the guilt or innocence
of the accused man. He said he.
knew Dick. one of Guertler's party,
by sight. 1t is understood Dick is re-
siding at Cassidy's at the present time.
Bailey was passed for cause.
The defense then challenged Elmer
T, Winant and Spencer Bickerton was
called. The latter said he had known
Marshall by sight, when he and Mar
shall both resided at Cassidy's in 1912.
He was passed for cause but dismiss
ed a moment afterward on the only
peremptory challenge exercised by the
prosecution. In his place Gladstone S.
Leithead was summoned. and passed.
Donald NJ. Ross was excused by the
defense and Reynold B. McGrew was

part Twice she tried to giV4 their
money back and get them out but
failed. Once, she said. she was drawn
from the back room by the sound of
scuffling, and found Marshall on the
floor with three men on top of him.
Her husband, who is member of the
Honolulu police department, helped
her to straighten out this tangle, and
Marshall was eventually driven from
the house She said that as he at
tempted to get into his car some
members of the party tried to drag
him out, but he managed to escape
them and hurried away in the ma
chine. .......- q F p.
He came back shortly afterward,
entering the house by the side door,
which heads into narrow rear hall
and thence to the main hall. Guert-
Ter, she said. was sitting across the
main hail. taking no part in the fes-
Invites. Marshall said he wanted to
see Guertler, and insisted on talking
to him. Ii was with some reluctance,
asserted the woman. that Guertier
went out to see Marshall. His COM
panions followed him.
A scuffle ensued. She rushed to
Guertler, seized his arms and tried to
drag him back, and Marshall reached
under her arm until his revolver al
most touched Guertler and then pulled
the trigger.
She also said that the Guertler par
ty came to her place with large
amount OF, liquor She declared they
seemed to have it in" for Marshall
and were continually cursing him,
whether he was present or absent.
She said, however. that Guertler was
non-combatant throughout and that
she did not see him take a drink.
At no time since the murder has the
prisoner made any public statement
in the nature of an explanation or in
defense. A. A. Wilson and other
friends have reiterated the belief that
he was not in his right mind. one
story to the effect that he had APP
peared mentally unbalanced for more
than a year nrior to the shooting, and
that love affair with a Young woman
on the mainland was thought to be
the cause of his worry and mental
difficulties.
Moses Puahi husband of Madam
Puahi, is a member of the police
force, and as a result of the murder,
pressure finally was brought to bear
on Sheriff Jarrett compelling him to
order the hula resort closed. How

technical ground that the grand Jury

was denied by Judge Robinson.
Some of Marshall's friends, 1t is re-
ported, declare that he shot in self
defense, at a moment when Guert.
Ter was rushing to attack him, and
they say that Marshall had not got
