Federal Judge Hough Decides IN
New York.

New York, Nov. l9.-Federal Judge
Houph, in decision rendered yesterday
held that the government has right to
make temporary use Of any device on
which it has granted patent, and that
the patentee cannot secure an inlunc-
ton.
The decision was given in a suit
brought by the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph Company of America, for an in
junction against Emil j. Simon, radio
engineer of New York. Simon asserted
that whatever infringements he had
made or committed had occurred while
he was constructing radio apparatus for
the United States government under a
contract with the navy department.
Judge Hough said:
aThe navy department has employed
Simon to construct radio apparatus, with
out which certain war vessels now APP

Douglas, Ariz., Nov l0.-That the bat

ture. seemed certain yesterday. Reliable
reports received from Cananea state
that General Rodriguez has between fiVe
and six thousand men, while 1000 re-
Inducements are within easy marching
distance on the Sonora river.
The Carranza and Villa, armies are
about evenly matched numerically, with
slight advantage in numbers in FAVOR OF
the latter. it is said, if the cavalry de-
tachment is recalled from Arizipe- Cen
eral Obregon plans sending his cavalry
south. following the line OF the Southern
Pacific, while his infantry and artillery
are divided into two columns, one going
to the east and one to the west OF the
San Jose mountains which stand be-
tween Naeo and Cananea.
General Villa has approximately ooou
troops between Magdalena and Hermosii-

Ten carloads of copper bullion were
seized from the Cananea Consolidated
Copper company and. taken to Nogales,
where it arrived Wednesday night. len
additional carloads are reported to be
between Del Bio and Nogales en- route
to Nogales. How Villa proposes TO use
this metal at Nogales has net been ex-
planned. The shipment at Nogales Is
said to amount to 1850 tons.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 25-
Col. A. H. Jennings, of Pearl,
Shelby County, wills his en-
tire estate, estimated at $50
900, to Mr.. Bette Hicks and
her seven children. He had
no white men for his associ-
ates. He was we'll known,
but never made any attempt
to seek the association of
those of his own race. Near
ly fifty years ago he came
here from Tippah County.
Miss, bringing his brothers
and sisters. His brothers
and sisters married and
moved away. He remained
with his mother. Fortune
prospered them. The farm
was extended and a nice home
built. Mrs. Jennings died.
After his mother died he left
his home and went to a small
cabin in a far corner of the
farm. Mrs. Bette Hicks was
there. He acknowledged in
MS will that he was the father
of her children. For more
than 20 years he lived in that
cabin.
Jennings was never on good
terms with the remainder of
his family, but about two
years ago, it is said. when his
brother, d. c. Jennings, was
in trouble with the courts in
what Judge ]. P. Young de-
scribed as one of the worst
cases that had ever been
tried before him, he came for
ward with a check for $Io,-

Strong Man Saves Woman
as Auto Stalls ON Track.

Brunswick. Ga, Dec. 27-
William Houston, a colored
man, saved the lives of four
Brunswick women when, see
ing the peril of the mobile
party he rushed up to the
machine and showed it across
the railroad track just as a
fast moving freigt train went
past.
In crossing the railroad
track the machine was slowed
down, and just as it mounted
the rails the engine went
dead. The freight train was
only a hundred yards distant.
Honston. who was standing
by, rushed to the car, gave it
one hard push aud it crossed
the track by only a few feet
as the train went by.
