STAMP BOOK LITIGATION
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Pennsylvania Inventor Asks Huge
Sum Of United States for
Taking His idea.

One of the most important and inter-
esting cases that has gone from the
Court Of Claims to the Supreme Court
OF the United States on appeal is that Of
Frank Gum Farnham of Honesdale, Pa,
against the United States, and involves
the invention Of what is commonly known
as the west pocket stamp book" Mr..
Farnham, who has invented and patented
many useful articles, had in his pocket
a quantity of postage stamps, and getting
caught in a shower he found the next
day that his stamps were all stuck to-
gether and could not be used. He i'm
mediately set about inventing a small
book in which stamps could be carried
in the pocket in safety, and as a result
he produced and had patented, 1t is said,
the small stamp book now in general use,
and sold by the millions by the Post
Office Department.
After he obtained his patent he sent
copies of his books and invention to the
Post Office Department, it is said, for the
purpose Of sale to the government, which
was his only market for the invention,
as the government alone can print and
sell postage stamps. At first he was
notified that the department did not then
think 1t best to sell stamps in that way.
But in a few months the department COM

Of the place Of death"
The mounds on which the building
now stand were covered with cream
white stones forming ample terraces
about the buildings. The buildings
themselves stood in the midst of the
vast plain, brilliant crimson and white in
the glazing sunlight. Entering the build

William Skinner of Holyoke. Mass. a

the railroads financial affairs. Lewis
Cass Ledyard and George F. Baker. di-
rectors. and George F. Minot, a former

Mr.. Skinner was questioned by William
Nelson Cromwell, appearing for several
of the directors
what Drought ABOUT the troubled con-
ditions of the New Haven? Was it not
the necessity of disintegrating some Of
the properties acquired, which, under
various laws, the>New Haven had to dis

That had a good deal to do with it,
Were not the conditions also partly
due to the lack of ability properly to
mortgage the New Ravens property?'
They were.
In the course of his Interrogation Mr..
Cromwell developed that no mortgage
lies against the main line of the New
Haven.
You were not able to finance the New
Haven as other large railroad systems

Alleged Leper.

John r. Early may soon relinqu1sh MS

quest that the federal government make
