pedestrian had said to himself, III use

And then another pedestrian came
along and saw the scratch and said:
Somebody has used the side Of this

BSa match on, SO I'll use it. too"
And then another came along and saw
the two match scratches, and then an

GLENN H. CURTISS WINNER
IN PATENT LITIGATION
Controversy With Albert a. Janin
Over Hydroaeroplane Royalties
Decided in His Favor.

The patent office has given a decision
in favor of Glenn H. Curtiss in his liti-
cation with Albert II. Janin over hy-
droaeroplane patents. The decision
gives Curtiss exclusive rights in this
it is thought. Recent rulings gave
Curtiss the sole title to flying boat pat
ents. and the new decision is inter-
preted as giving him complete control
of the entire seaplane situation-both
flying boats and hydroaeroplanes. He
will now be able to collect royalties
for machines of either type built in
this country.
Device for Balancing Machine.
The patent involved in the litigation
was on a device which balanced the
same time enabled it to rise from the
surface at high rate of speed. 1t
consisted of a small wooden plane at
tached to the bottom of floats support
ing the lower wings.
Mr. Janin, who is a cabinetmaker on
Staten Island, claimed that he7- made
the invention in 1909. before Mr.. Cur
tiss had succeeded with his flying
boats. and that he applied for a patent
first on January Is, 1911, while Curtiss
did not apply until August of that
year. He said that inability to finance

of revolver pressed into her face,
threw 1t over her head and began to
struggle with the man, calling out an
alarm to her servants.
Mrs Armour had retired for tho
night and not more than half an hour
had passed when a knock was heard
at her door. She called the name OF
her maid. A man answered in a fall
setto voice. Fearing something wrong
she threw open the door and stood face
to face with masked robber. his
companions, in the meantime, had over
powered three maids.
Revolver Pressed Into Her Face.
"I tried to shut the door, Mrs. Ar
mour said, but the man thrust his foot
into the opening and through this aper-
ture pressed a revolver into my face

it flew open. raised billy, bringing
1t down on my head.

asked.

there"

"Tll knock your teeth down your
throat if you don't tell where the stuff
