IMMENSE ROYALTIES
DUE POOR FAMILY
According to Decision in U. S. Court
Against Eastman Kodak Co., Which
Declares Rev. Hannibal B. Good
win the Inventor of Films.


New York, March IA decision up
holding the patent claims of Rev. Han
nibal b. Goodwin against the Eastman
Kodak Co. of Rochester, involving mil
lions of dollars in royalties, was handed
down by the United States circuit court
OF appeals here yesterday, confirming the
opinion previously handed down by
Judge John r. HazeI'fof Buffalo. The
decision says that "the Rev. Hannibal
B. Goodwin is undoubtedly the inventor
and entitled to all the benefits Of the
basic patent on Photographic films"
Goodwin died more than l3 years ago,
poor man. The profits of the East
man Kodak Co. on the disputed patent
have been estimated to rum into the
millions.
If the decision is not overruled by
the supreme court, Goodwn's widow and
two children. who are living in Brook
lyn, will be entitled to back royalties
for the whole period in which the East
man company has, according to the de-
cision, been infringing on the patent.
For many years Rev. Hannibal Good
win was rector of the Episcopal House
of Prayer at Newark, n. j. He was
fond of experimenting in photography
and was an amateur chemist In 1887
he discovered process for making pho
tographc films and applied for patent.
The Eastman conlpany contested his
claim and IL was not until 1898 that
the patent office finally issued the pat
ent.
A suit against the Eastman Kodak
Co. was instituted. Mr. Goodwin decided
he could not fight il alone and he sold
part of his rights tofhe Ansco company
of Binghamton, which brought sepa-
rate action. In peember, 1900, Mr..
Goodwin died whiles his suit was still
pending. The litigation was carried on
by the Goodwin heirs and administrators
after the inventors death. The lower
courts upheld his contentious and the
company appealed
A decision favorable to the Ansco com
pany was rendered in its suit, and this
case is still pending on an appeal which
is expected to take ii to the United
States supreme court.

Rate Increase Aids Kentucky.

Distinct benefits to both the public
and the railroads will come to
Kentucky through the five per
cent increase in freight rates
granted to the eastern railroads by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the opinion of Green Garrett, mem
Der of the State Railroad Commission.
While the Kentucky territory or the
railroads operating in Kentucky are
not affected by the recent order, ex-
cept where they operate in eastern
territory, yet Mr.. Garrett believes
that the improvement of train serv-
ice on eastern lines, with the pur-
chases in equipment which are al
ready being made by the railroads,
will bring benefits to all sections Of
the country.
"One of the principal causes of dull
business conditions which has affect
ed the country at large is the re-
trenching policy forced on the rail-
roads due to increased costs of ma
terials and operation" he says.
The railroads buy immense
amounts of building materials in Ken
lucky, and no doubt many heavy or
ders for supplies will be placed in
this state at once. The railroads in
Kentucky have no cause for complaint
for their rates are high enough as
they are now"
