ATTEMPT To BRIDE
WILSON is ALLEGED

Washington. June 23.-The publish
ed account of how 1.200. 900 was Of
fered TO President Wilson to induce
him 10 allow the sale of 1896 900 retir-
ed Krag-Jorgensen rifles owned by
the government is stirring Washing
ton.
According to the story a we'll known
man offered to contribute 81, 200.00 to
the Wilson campaign fund IL allowed
to buy the rifles. He planned to sell
them to one OF the ~belligerent nations.
He is alleged to have succeeded in
getting his proposition before the
president through a third party.
The president promptly and indig-
nantly squelched the scheme.
White House officials declined eth.
err to deny or affirm the truth of the
story, or to comment on it in any
manner.
There are, however. a. number OF
high officials here to whom the whole
affair has for some time been known.
But so far as was learned the author
of the bribe has done nothing i'm the
matter In Washington which would
enable the government to bring any
action against him.

Germans Preparing Heavy Wearing
Apparel for Troops.

Berlin, June 22.-Germany is pre-
pairing for another winter campaign.
Almost every day on Simmer
strasse, the center of the clothing
manufacturing district. t~ruckloads OF
heavy field gray overcoats are carried
to a local fur store. These coats are
being lined with fur by the hundreds
every day.
Wagonloads of heavy leather boots
pass through Charlottenstrasse every
day. They are of the kind by
the German soldiers campaigning in

informed that the gasoline process Is
now ready for large scale industrial
applications. and the hope Is expressed
that the benzol process will be ready
o
THE benzol process is being devel-
oped in cooperation with a New York
company, which has entered into an
agreement whereby all patentable
equipment, processes and ideas avail
able as a result OF the cooperative
work will be turned over to the depart
ment to be dedicated to the public.
1.-The department stands ready and
Is anxious to enter into similar agree
ments with any other companies In the
country that will agree to the same
terms-that all processes and ideas
patentable in the development OF eli
Their process shall be turned over to the
department for use of the public.
The department is willing for all
who are DESTROYS of making use of the
processes to do so to the fullest possible
extent consistent with the proper pro-
lection of the processes In order that
the public may derive the greatest
measure Of benefit therefrom. 1t looks
as IL 1t would be only a short time be-
fore the complete mechanical equip
ment necessary for the practice of the
processes has been worked out and the
inventions covered by patent applica-
tons.
THE department considers that all
those DESTROYS of employing the proc
esses should agree TO contribute TO the
public. I'm the same ann that DR..
Rittman has done with his basic pat
ents, all ~patentable ideas that may be
conceived as a result of the employ
ment of these processes.
This is the only condition that the
department imposes, and its reasona-
bleness will become apparent when 1t
is considered that DIR. Rittman has
given to the public, through the depart
ment. processes which c~onservatively
were they controlled by a private in
dustrial concern exclusively for its
selfish purposes.
AS soon as the department is as
sured that the public's interests are
properly safeguarded a full and com
plete scientific paper describing the
processes will be issued. In the mean
time the processes will be open to any
one who wishes to develop them under
the conditions imposed.
AT the first public demonstration OF
the Rittman benzol and gasoline proc.
esses held before the representatives
of the army and navy and large manu-
featuring concerns announcement was
made that both processes might be
used by all interested persons upon ap
plication to the department. At the
same time. however, because of the de
sire to give the public the fullest pos
sible benefit of the Rittman processes
it was stated that the use of the proc
esses would be coupled with the con
dition that the person using the same
would give to the public the benefits o.
such ideas along mechanical lines al
they might conceive during the EN-
ployment Of the processes"
