COURT SAYS NOISE
CAN'T BE PATENTED
Calls Sounds Emitted by Auto
Horns Harsh, Raucous and
DiabOlical.

According to Judge Coke. OF the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals, there is a
fortune waiting for the inventor Of the
ideal automobile horn. Harsh ''rau-
cous" and "diabolical" are some Of the
adJectives that describe the frightful
sounds that send cold chills down the
spines Of unsuspecting pedestrians In the
streets, according to the court.
This indictment Of "insolent" noises APP
peared in a decision dismissing An inter-
locutory decree obtained by the Lowell,
Mcconnell Manufacturing Company. Of
Newark. IN patent infringement suit
against the Automobile Supply Manufact.
uring Company. of New York. The plain
tiffs held that the defendants Had success
fully copied their "Klaxon" auto horn
known as the Hutchinson patents.
Judge Coke in his opinion. held that
the peculiarly Of the plaintiffs horn was
that It was capable of making more
strident, insistent and insolent noises
than any predecessor.
why 1t is necessary" said the court
with the musical notes Of the coach horn
and the hunters horn as guides, to mar
the pleasures Of automobiling and to
SILVER the atmosphere with such discord-
ant sounds the court is unable to under
stand.
"A ratchet wheel revolving on tho up
turned bottom Of a tin pan would produce
similar results. However, as both liti-
giants are almost equal offenders In this
regard. 1t is unnecessary to dwell on the
phase Of the case other than to say that
tho ideal automobile horn has certainly
not yet been invented. A noise is not
patentable. Therefore this court dismisses
the plaintiffs decree"

4 CAPTIVE CHILDREN
FOUND STARVING
Agent of Yonkers Children's So.
ciety Breaks Into Yoder's Home
and Rescues Them.

Kept prisoners for more than six
months In one small room In their faith
er's cottage. at Mclean and Jerome avs.
Yonkers, three children, the oldest six
years old. with blind youth, said to be
their uncle. were released yesterday by
an agent OF the Childrens Society.
Two of them, Peter and May Yoder,
three and four years old. were uncon-
scious from starvation. Helen, six, was
unable to walk. The blind youth, thought
to be a brother of his jailer, was reduced
to a shadow from lack Of food.
The discovery came yesterday. when
neighbors. aroused before daylight by
sroans and weeping, traced the sounds to
the Yoder cottage. They notified the
Children's Society. and Agent Harry Cook
was sent 10 investigate.
Cook had no trouble in getting into the
house, and soon heard means coming
from a room on the second floor. He
tried the door. and finally broke Il In.
The room was darkened and he had to
tear away a curtain.
In a corner lay the two little girls and
the boy. Their clothes we're in shreds,
skeletons. Near them was Joseph Yoder,
the blind uncle, faint but conscious.
While the agent tried to revive the two
smaller children the older girl told him
they had had little food during their i'm
prisonment and nothing at all for five
days. They did not know where their
father was. He visited them Saturday,
but brought them no food, they said.
The oldest girl told officials at tho soci-
ETY. last night that the mother died a
year ago. Since then, the child said. she
and her brothers and sisters had eaten
only occasionally, and finally, when they
became very hungry, were locked up.
Their father visited them occasionally
and brought them bits of food. she said.
Yoder. who Is q gardener, was found by
the police, and will be In court to-day
to answer to the charge Of cruelty.

had written his class poem for him when
he was graduated from Trinity College,
In 1892 when their engagement was an
nounced, were some Of the admissions
made by tho Rev. Cranston Brenton. OF
Yonkers, N. T., secretary Of the New
York State Social Service Commission Of
the Episcopal Church. this afternoon.
These admissions were made when he
was subjected TO a severe cross-exam-

damages her divorced husband, Brenton,
and Drs. Paul Waterman and oliver
C. Smith, of Hartford, on the charge of
conspiring to imprison her In a Vermont
madhouse until she made confession in
volving her present husband, F. Ernest
Holman.
Brenton insisted that he thought his d..
vorced wife knew she was registered a.
a voluntary patient at tho madhouse. He
said he was not Influenced against her
for her publication of The Norsemen"
because he first read In a newspaper
about the hidden poetic acrostic, ITO the

He objected to the book not because Of
this dedication to Holman. Of which he
was unaware, but because II disclosed the
then Mrs Brentons own life and her

More than one hundred love letters were
given to the Jury to-day, and one Of them
which was read showed that Mrs. Hol-
man was having difilculty writing to Hol-

longer watches me, she would be very

ing. I am very lonely here, longing. long
ing for q sight Of my master. All my

Brenton said his wifes mother, Mrs
Susan B. Curtis, was shocked at the writ
ings Of her daughter. who she thought
must have gone insane.
In another letter Mrs. Holman wrote
The little fat cat must be very careful
In crossing the big city. where he is
meowing and meowing and meowing."
and this Brentoh interpreted to the jury
as meaning that he himself, must be
very careful In crossing New York City.
where he was then preaching.
