The news OF the victory Of Freddie

friends in Ottawa Freddie was sup
posed to be in poor health and on
his way back to this country. Letters
we're received from him last Thursday
In which he said he was Ill and would
leave Sydney on the first boat for
Frisco.
Enck wrote the letters Feb. e. four
days before his battle with Bert Spar.

bout, the referee calling halt in the
fifteenth round.
Evidently Freddie has regained his
strength since the battle with Spargo

After the disastrous battle at sgd

took Enck to one side and talked to
him. They told him not to be dis

chine until after they had acquired knowl
edge of said invention from the said John j.
Montgomery and embodied it in their ma
chimes
The invention of Professor Montgomery,
which is referred to in this suit, and which
he first built in 1885, is fully described in his
application for patent filed in 1905.
This machine had two planes, one placed
behind the other. 1t was thus a monoplane
with wings fore and aft. In the rear was
broad horizontal tail that could be moved
up or down for equilibrium The wings
were carved like those of bird. The curve
is parabola, sharper at the front edge than
at the back.
Through the middle of the tail, so as to
form part of il structurally, ran a vertical
rudder to maintain sidewise equilibrium. It
was a sort of fin so adjusted that it could not
move sidewise, but only up and down with
the tail
The warping of the curved wings in fight
was accomplished by the feet of the aviator
which were held IN stirrups BY pressing
down the stirrup-bar on one side, the rear
portions of the wing surfaces on one side
were drawn down, while those on the
opposite side were allowed TO yield to the
air pressure beneath.
By this means. the pressure on the two
sides being varied the machine was steered

to levers which l could lean against so as
to bring one tip up and the other down when
/ wanted to make turn or get control OF
the wind and l found them TO answer per-
fectly. The tail or rear rudder of my ma
chine was hinged and was arranged to work
with wires
Il did not take out patents then. l was
working purely as a scientist, with no inten-
ton of making money, and purposed pub
fishing my discovery for the benefit of all
other Investigators and giving it to the
world, as l did
when it was suggested that l patent my
idea, l answered that no man making such
a discovery had a right to monopolize 1t,
because it was not like the discovery of some
new commercial utility of limited value, but
was step in the progress of humanity and
therefore belonged TO humanity.
"Since then | have learned that if man
wants to give his invention to humanity he
must patent it or someone else may come
along and not only take it away from hui
manity but from the inventor himself
Il did not take out patents until 1905,
while the Wright patent was applied for in
1903 but l have the right of previous inven-
ton given by common user and publication.
Moreover, the Wrights patent is for fat
surfaces, whereas mine is for curved sur
faces with warping, and it is the curved sur
face the WrightS are now using. They are
therefore not only infringing my original
right but are infringing patents. Wait until
my machines now building are finished,
then we shall see some new light on the mat
ter. They are merely reproductions on
different scale as to size of my 1885 devices,
but they are it,
Before Professor Montgomery could per
feet the machines upon which he then
experimenting or test the validity of the
Wrights patents, he died On October "a,
1911, while experimenting with glider of
his invention at Evergreen, Cal, his machine
turned turtle in the air and the inventor
was killed

means for changing the surface of each, and
means for varying the angle Of one relatively
to another each of said aeroplanes being
curved periodically from front to rear, it's
curves in successive sections from centre to
ends decreasing in inclination 10 the path OF
travel, and It's sections near the ends being
less sharply curved at their forward ends
than the forward ends Of section nearer the
centre, horizontal tail surface approximate
to the rear portion of the last aeroplane,

The Aircraft Trust" was made the sub
ject Of bitter protest by the Aeronautical
Society Of America few weeks ago. Senators
were circularized and Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels interviewed in an effort to have the
whole matter made the subject of Congress
siOnal investigation it being charged that
the Government which has contracted for
numerous Wright machines, will be mulcted
out OF millions of dollars through the tax
ing system imposed by the new seroplane
combine.
In view of this conflict, news OF the fling
OF the Montgomery suit, which will open up
again the whole question of the validity Of
the Wrights' basic patents, was received
with great interest by local seronautic su-
thorities.

In the years that have elapsed since Mont
gomery'S death, the art of aviation has made
wonderful progress Because of their sue
cessful flights, the Wright brothers were early
acclaimed The inventors of the aeroplane
Patents we're granted to them in 1905, and
suits which they brought against other build
ers of aeroplanes were successful
A few months ago the Wright Martin Air
craft Corporation, the Curtiss Aeroplsne and
Motor Corporation and number of other
concerns controlling aeroplane inventions
pooled their patents and announced that
thereafter no inventor would be allowed to
use any of the various devices upon which
they held patents without paying a heavy
royalty to the combination.
In the opinion of many aeronautic suthori-
ties this so-called Aircraft Trust" is
serious menace to the science of aviation. 1t
puts tax on scientific experimentation and
discourages independent effort.
In their complaint the heirs of Professor
Montgomery charge that Orville Wright and
Wilbur Wright, having acquired knowledge
of Professor Montgomery's invention, en-
bodied the same In the experimental machines
of the said Wrights, by which aerial fight
was first successfully accomplished by them,
though such embodiment was without the IL
cense and consent of the said John j. Mont
gomery; and that the said Wrights did not
succeed in flying with heavier-than-air ma

in the air and its equilibrium maintained
Pressure with the right foot forced down the
left rear surface, while the left foot was
applied to push down the rear edges of the
wings on the right-hsnd side
The Wright patents do not provide for
curved wings, but they do describe devices
for warping or curving them, and it is this
feature which the heirs of Professor Mont
gomery declare is an infringement of their
ancestors rights.
Many flights were made in Professor Mont
gomery's curved wing aeroplanes Perhaps
one of the most successful took place on April
29, 1905, at Santa Clara, the aeroplane being
piloted on that occasion by Daniel Maoney, a
professional aeronaut
The fundamental principle covered by
Montgomery's patent is described in one of
the forty-six claims as follows:

take a certain pride in our academic

was revealed. however, a difference Of
character and sympathy between the

pamphleteering, and very nearly TO a
