LONDON, June In the campaign

Tor the Austrians who are battering
at the line southeast of Rovereto run
ming through the regions Of Schio.
Arsiero and Asiago are reported The
Italians admit withdrawal along some
sectors of this front, but there as vet
has been no breach in the main line
of their defense which bars the way
to the Venetian plain
The Austrian official report saws:
"Austro- Hungarian troops under the
command of Crown Prince Charles
Francis have made further conouests
in the regions of Asiago and Arsiero.
In the district northeast of Asiago

HYDR0-AER0 FIGHT
DECIDED BY COURT
Albert S. Janin Awarded Prior
ity of Invention Over
Glenn H. Curtiss.

Albert s. Janin is entitled to priority
of invention of the hydro-aeroplane by
a decision of the District Court of Ap-
peals rendered today by Justice Van
Orsdel Justice Robb dissents from the
views of his associates.
The action of the court reverses the
decision of the commissioner of pat
ents, who had given priority to Glenn
H. Curtiss. The interference was de-
clared originally between the applica-
tion of Janin. filed July 81, 1913, and
the application of Curtiss, recorded Au-
gust %, 1911. the Janin application
being a substitute for an earlier petit
tion filed January Is. 1911. The case
turned on the question of reduction to
practice.
Justice Van Orsdel, in the course of
his opinion says: "Curtiss is not the
first inventor who has almost reduced
the invention to practice, and who may
have afterward further developed 1t.
but has failed to get a patent because
of what another has achieved The
failure to award Curtiss the subject
matter of this specific count will not
take from him all of the patenta BILE
subject matter which he may have
originated and which belongs to this
art.
we can perceive no justification for
making an exception to the general
rule OF law which applies to these cases,
IN 1aVor OF an inventor who happens
to have been the first to give an inven-
ton to the world by an actual reduc-
tlon to practice. however great his
achievements or however wide his
fame. when another equally ingenious
IN originating novel idea, though
quite unknown. has anticipated him by
taking an equivalent course in the
same direction, course which under
the rules of law. as uniformly applied.
entities him to patent"
The majority opinion of the court
points out that to the satisfaction of
all the tribunals of the patent office e1-
cept the commissioner Janin has es-
tablished date of conception as early
as 1907. while all agreed that the ear
1iest date that can be accorded Curtiss
Is May, 1910. The reduction to practice
is said to have been on the same day,
January 26, 1911, and the court holds
that Janin being the first to conceive
the patent. must prevail.

The District Commissioners today be-

FULL c. 0. P. COMMITTEE
IS TO HEAR CONTESTS
Forty Cases, Involving Rights of
Sixty-Two Seats in Conven-
tion, Taken Up.

CHICAGO, June ALI Of the con-
tests covering sixty-two delegates to
the republican national convention,
which opens June Z. will be heard by
the full committee. This was decided
today at the initial session of the COM
mittee after a spirited discussion of
a recomme endation by Chairman Hilles
to have a subcommittee pay special
attention to each contest, all being
heard in the presence of the whole
committee, and report a summary of
the contest to the full committee.
Senator Smoot of Utah. declaring that
every contest should receive the un-
divided attention of every committee
man. moved that after each case was
decided a subcommittee should formu-
late the opinion of the committee for
submission to the committee on Gre
dentials. His motion prevailed. The
committee was slow to begin its session
and the lobby outside the committee
room was crowded with the members
of the contesting delegations.
The committee voted to place on the
temporary roll of the convention the
Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Philip
pines, with the recommendation to
the convention that they be permitted
to vote.
"A tiHS OIL twenty-five minutes
was allotted for the presentation of
each side of a contest. The Alabama
cases were taken up first.
Hearing of Contests Begins.
The committee met today at the coli
scum for the purposes Of hearing and de-
Gliding forty contests. involving the right
of sixty-two delegates to seats in the
convention.
The committee made plans to devote
three days to hearing argument of the
contestants, though several members ex-
pressed the belief that not more than two
days would be required to dispose of the
contests. Four years ago the national
committee held sessions over a period
of more than three weeks in order to
hear the several hundred contests, and
much bitterness developed, but today
there is comparatively little interest
manifested over the outcome. as the
result probably will not seriously az
feet the fortunes of any presidential
candidate.
The committee after an executive ses-
sion announced that reporters from
press associations would be allowed to
attend the hearing
