GOODWIN HEIRS WIN MILLIONS
BY SETTLEMENT OF FILM CASE
Eastman Kodak Company Surenders in Long Patent ltga
Observation-Disclosures Claims of Family of Newark inventor
Amount Settled For Not Known.

Mrs. Rebecca Goodwin, of 116 Mont
clair avenue, this city the eighty
Sky year-old widow of Rev. Hannibal
Goodwin. the inventor of the photo
graphic film, will receive a substan-
tial sum of money as her share of the
settlement reached yesterday between
the Goodwin Film and Camera Com
pany, now the Ansco Company, and
the Eastman Kodak Company as a
result of the formers suit to restrain
the latter from using the patents the
Goodwins claimed were theirs.
Inquiries of all the persons con-
cerned failed to elicit the slightest
Idea of the amount Mrs. Goodwin will
receive.
The case has been in litigation since
1902. and involves millions. The
Ansco Company, which held the
patent rights for Photographic films,
claimed that the Eastman Kodak
Company had infringed on the Good
win patent rights. The courts de-
cided the case in favor of the Ansco
Company. Just what the amount of
the settlement agreed upon is the
principals in the case will not say.
1t is thought, however, that millions
of dollars will change hands.
Mrs. Goodwin could not be seen to-
day, but it was stated at the Good
win homet hiatt he family had re-
ceived no word of the settlement
from the lawyers and that the only
knowledge they had of the disposition

IFrom Stan Correspondcnt.l ]

WARRINGTON, March Or - Con-
gresham Eagap, OF Hoboken, has OBJ
tanned a feprieve from the death
chamber and will not be incarcer-
ated there. He had given Instructions
to his secretary, John II. Raffo, to
move the office fixtures and docu-
ments from the old Malby building,
north of the Senate, and transfer
them to the House office building,
where the other congressman have
their offices.
The congressman from Hoboken was
among the forty members who have
been stalled, and they insist that
"stall'' is the only adequate expression
to describe their quarters in the old
Malby structure. He was stalled there
until offices were built into the fifth
floor of the House office building.
These offices were named by a dis
satisfied congressman as the death
chambers.
Congressman Eagan had not both
cred inspecting his new quarters. He
took 1t for granted that they would
be satisfactory, and his secretary,
who is one of the few men here who
does nothing but work, said nothing
against the moving plans. Yesterday
Representative Eagan concluded that
he would take a look at his future
office. One look was enough. He at
once told his secretary to defer all
moving operations until he heard from
him later.
The congressman did got busy with
the powers to adjudicate office mat
ters, and the result was that he OBJ
tanned a reprieve from the death
chamber He was given an office on
the fourth floor, No. 466, He will be-
gin moving in there tomorrow. He
will have for his neighbors Congress-
men Townsend, Mccoy and Tuttle.

who expressed very little confidence
in the State and still they wanted
more money for their fish, but in the
end they wanted to stick to their

some one representing the trust of

not necessary, as every man that rep

-SOEMER
SANDER SUITS
IN JURY'S HANDS
Actions for $4,000 and $25,-
600 Stirred Vailsburg
Residents.

Whether William II. Hope. 16 Palm
street. is to collect $4,000 from
Joseph c. Soemer 20 Richelieu ter
race, for alleged slander or Soemer to
collect $685. from Hope on a
counter suit, also alleging slander, is
a matter that jury in Common
Pleas Court is now wrestling with.
the jury having retired to deliberate
on Its verdict at 11:25 o'clock, after
listening to Judge William p Mar
tins chargee.
The trial of the suit and counter
suit has beene in progress for three
days, and the first two days, during
which the testimony was taken, were
marked with considerable bitterness
on both sides.
The double SANDER suit grows out
of transactions having to do with
moving picture theatre conducted by
the Hope Amusement Company at
800 South Orange avenue. The money,
about $11 900. for the erection of this
theatre was furnished by Miss Sylvia
j. Goeken in the summer of 1917,
Hope having a half interest in the
business and acting as manager Miss
Goeken has since married and Is now
Mrs. Charles Geiger.
In January, 1913, Hope bought out
Miss Goeken's half interest in the
theatre The slander suit instituted
by Hope Is based on the alleged fact
that on or about February l, 1913,
Soemer is said to have made a state
ment to Charles J. Hasenauer that
Hope had succeeded in getting Miss
Goeken sign over her half interest In
the moving picture business under
false pretenses."
Soemer's counter suit against Hope
is based on an alleged statement
made by Hope in the presence of
Charles c. Bitter and others that
"Soemer was a CRATER. He divided
up the peoples money without their
knowledge or consent.
The latter statement had to do with
the distribution of surplus of about
$500 that remained i'm the treasury of
the Citizens Protesting Association,
of aVilsburg, after that association
had made a successful fight against
the levying of assessments by the
city of Newark early in 1912 for the
building of a sewer in the Vailsburg
section.
This money, it was testified by
Soemer. was divided among the Off
cCrs and members of the association
who had worked in the assessment
fight.
Similar suits in which Hope and
James p. Donnelly. 179 Smith street,
a real estate dealer, are involved,
are pending for trial before Judge
Martin. At the conclusion of the
Hope -Soemer suit today Judge Mar
tin announced the postponement of
the Donnelly- Hope suit until the
April term of court.

The postoffice department several
