SIX YEAR FILTER
PATENT FIGHT WON
BY CITY At LAST
Similar Suits Against Dozens of
Cities and Water Com
panies Fall

Harrisburgs water supply is not be-
ing filtered by any patent method that
has been infringed upon.
Consequently this city. together
with Louisville. KY, Columbus, Ohio,
New Orleans and the Hackensack,
n. J.. water company, and some fifty
odd other water companies and mu-
nicipal plants throughout the country.
will not be liable for thousands of
dollars in royalties for alleged en-
croachments.
That Harrisburg had won a victory
in the battle over this legal question
was learned in this city to-day when
word was received of the reversal by
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals of the Federal District Court s
decision that the New York Conti-
mental Jewel Filtration Companys
patent for filtering water had been in
fringed upon.
The New York company in bringing
the suit had claimed about $4,000 of
Harrisburg as a lump sum royalty
81 for every square foot of filter bed
And Harrisburg's crack plant boasts
of about 5000 square feet.
The litigation began in 1908 1t
was decided Harrisburg's battle would
stand as a test case.
Ex-Judge M. w. Jacobs and city
Solicitor d. S. Seitz fought the case
for the city. They were opposed by

and William b. Anderson, New York.

StrGtegists Unable to
Arrange Army's Retreat
BY Associated Press

Paris, Sept. is, 6.45 a. m.-Ama-
teur strategists find difficulty in ar
ranging General Won Kluck's retreat
for him, while the professionals wise
ly admit they don't know what des-
tination to give to the beaten army.
The probability is that Won Kluck
himself does not known exactly, the
forces in retreat not being always be-
ing aware of their own movements.
Having passed the line of Com
piegne and Soissons. where a defense
had been prepared, it was thought he
could not make a stand before the
Meuse was reached. Yesterdays COM
munications, however, created some
confusion on this point. the first saying
that the allies had crossed the Aisne
river and the second stating that the
Germans were trying to make a stand
on the Aisne.
No doubt the line referred to in the
latter communication is that from
Laon to Sissonne, which is the most
favorable portion for rally this side
of the Meuse. A halt there, however,
is accompanied by immense danger
from a fanking movement and the
experts look for news of continuation
of the retreat to-day.

The sale of all commodities by
weight is the most preferable way to
trade was advocated to-day at the
opening of the third conference of the
sealers of weights and measures Of
PENNSYLVANIA by Harry A. Boyer,
president of the association. Mr.
Boyer. who is Dauphin county sealer,
has been very active in the driving out
of the double measure and has made
a study of practices. In the course of
his address he gave his experience
and urged that the association take
up the matter of uniform sealing and
marking after inspecting. He said
that the general construction of scales
of all descriptions had improved, as
had the liquid measures.
I hope to see the adoption of sell
ing by weight of all commodities,
said he. "The elimination of the
middleman and the more direct rela-
ton of consumer with producer would
be great boon in this direction. Such
n consummation would demand that
business be done on the simplest pos
Rible basis by the contracting parties.
Now the middleman is the one who
usually make the transformation of
weights and measures, buying by one
system and selling by another There
is no reason why coal should he sold
at wholesale by the long ton and re-
tailed by the short ton"
MT. Boyer SPOKE against any
changes or amendment of the laws
governing supervision and on the sub
iect of uniform marking said that
there should be a system whereby the
marking would be understood as fol-
lowing a system. eff Philadelphia

Report of Merchant
Marine Bill Filed
By associated Press

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 15.-De-
clarinP that the establishment of gov

rect attack on the invested capital
and would mean the ultimate destruc-
tion of steamship lines, which the in
genuity and wisdom of a deserving
class of citizens have built up and
maintained in the carrying trade of
the United States, seven members of
the committee of the Merchant Marine
to-day Introduced in the House a mi
nority report of the merchant marine
bill, which was framed to meet con-
ditions arising out of the European
war. The report is signed by FIVE Re-

PENNSYLVANIA, and two Democrats.
Possibly the dangerous effect of the
measure, the report declares. would
be the result its enactment might
have on the position of neutrality on
the part of the United in the war.
