ries a neatly folded umbrella, de-
spite the fact that she always drives
in a covered carriage and whenever
she stops anywhere a canopy is pro-
vided. Princess Mary has the same
umbrella habit as her mother.
Queen Victoria likewise was always
seen with a parasol or umbrella, but
she always had hers open, and it was
lined with chain mail to ward off
attempts on her life by bomb
thrOwers.
The romance of the Coats family,
the thread millonaires, has been run
ming to it's end with the death of no
fewer than five members during the
past two years. Each member has
left a large fortune through which
the British ~EXchequer has been en-
riched by a total of some $4,000, 900.
The death of James Coats in
March, 1912, left a fortune of near
lyS1O, 600, 900 without any provisions
for it's disposition; six months later
Archibald Coats passed away leaving
a sum of nearly 1000, 900; in jan
uary, 1913,Sir James Coats died leav-
ing $4,000, 600 and a few weeks later
p. NJ. Coats, a o of Sir James. died
leaving $1,000, 900. The fifth death
which was that of Peter Coats in
September last left a fortune of $12,-

the deceased over $40, OOO, 900. None
of the Coats left anything to charity
but during their lifetime they had
been generous givers.

CURTISS MAY REOPEN
WRIGHT PATENT FIGHT
Inventor Holds Conference
With Lawyer. but Will Not
Tell Purpose.

HAMMoNDsPoRT, y. Y, July 1.-THE
appearance In Hammondsport tonight OF
W. Benton Crisp, one OF the foremost
natent attorneys In this country, occa-
stoned rumors here OF a possible reopen
ing OF the Wright-Curtiss patent litga-
tlon which ran three years in the United
states courts.
Mr.. Crisp had conference this after
noon with Judge Monroe Wheeler Of Bath
president of the Curtiss Aeroplane Com
pany. Glenn Curtiss and other officers
and directors OF the company. He gave
out the following statement after the
conference.
i've been called here by Mr.. Curtiss
on matter that does not concern the
public as ye;. We will have another con
ference tomorrow and | may bc able to
make more definite statement after that.
Ny presence here does not concern the
Wright litigation, at least only indirectly,
nor has II anything % do with the Wanna
maker transatlantic flying boat America"
Mr.. Crisp would not say that he had
been retained by Mr. Curtiss or the Cur
tiss company, although his presence here
gives rise TO the belief that such Is the
case.
The patent litigation was decided in
the court OF last resort last Jnuary In
FAVOR OF the Wright company. There Is
no ppeal from that decision. bat the de-
cison was not against the Curtiss Aero
plane Compang, which war organized
aftch the litigation began The de-
PENDANTS were the Curtls-- Herring Com
rauy aud Glenn u. Curtiss. An account
ing has never been rendered.
As was suggested In the SuN several
