FIRST CLASS TO
 BE, BROUGHT IN
 OVER THE TRAIL

According to report which is in general circulation in Fairbanks, the fled. the contract for a summer auto mobile mail service between Fair banks and Chitina has been let to the Northern Commercial company It is understood that by the terms of the contract one round trip each week between Fairbanks and Chitina must be made by the carrier, 300 pounds of mail to be carried each trip. First class mail for Nenana will also be included in the shipment, according to the report, which is to the effect that the route was decided upon by the postal authorities in order to ia cilitate the handling of the mail of the Alaskan Engineering commission. It is understood that the service is to start on May 1 and Is to be main tained until October l.
 Nothing corroborative of the re port could be learned at the local offices of the Northern Commercial company yesterday. It was stated there that the current report had reached the offices, but that the off cials had received no authoritative information that the contract had been awarded. Nor could anything be definitely learned regarding the contract price. but it is stated to be in the neighborhood of s100 per week.
 It has been known for some time that the N. c. company made a bid for carrying the mail this summer, and that 1t expected to be awarded the contract was evidenced by the preparations made for automobile traffic. All winter the outgoing N. c. stages and freight teams have been carrying gasoline. until at the present time about 300 cases are stored along the trail for use by the automobiles.
 It is unauthoritatively stated that Ford automobiles will be used by the company in carrying the mail

lost by reason Of the prohibition of liquor traffic in Alaska This matter .s now receiving the earnest consid- oration of the members of the House of Representatives and several bills nave been introduced to make ap- pTopriations 10 incorporated towns based on the percentage of the cost of maintaining schools The per ceutage ranges from 50 to $. These bills are now in the hands of the Committee on Education. which will report some bill and recommend its passage.
 The disposition of the House is, | think, to make an appropriation If not less than 50rc of the present cost of maintaining schools in incor- porated towns, but it is my impres- 5.on from the conversations that | have had with a number of the mem | Dcrs that the consensus of opinion
 5 that 75r5 will be too great a per l gpntage unless the Territory has some means of checking up or supervising 1 he expenditures of the money ap- 1 Jropriated. This does not seem to l 1e best at this time, but l think that can assure you some bill will be passed appropriating to schools in | incorporated towns not less than SO. of the present cost of maintenance

BERLIN, Apr. 10-In an official statement issued by the war office tonight it is admitted that two Ger man divisions suffered heavily and that the British troops succeeded in breaking through the German lines at one point today. Most of the fighting took place close to Arras, where the British appear to be con centrating their efforts at present.

VICTOR COMPANY
 LOSES ITS CASE.
 AGAIH.ST NACN'S
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C. Apr g h decision handed down today by tho supreme court in the case of the Victor Talking Machine com pany against Macys, a big New York concern, to cnjo.n them from selling tho products of the Victor company for less than listed prices, it was held that the license system used by the company for fixing the retail selling prices on talking machines is unconstitutional. and therefore must be abandoned
 The decision will not only affect the Victor people, but other manu- facturers of talking machines, as the majority of them are using the same system.
 HISTORY OF THE CASE.
 Far-rcachng questions regarding right of patentees to fix retail or resale prices of their products were involved in the infringement suit brought by the Victor Talking Ma chine company against the Macy de partment store of New York. An in junction was granted by the second federal circuit court after being de nicd by District Judges Hand and Hough
 The principal question raised was whether, in di5postng of it's machines by giving a license only for their use" for royalties (during the pat patents torm and not outright title to purchasers. the Victor company might thus lawfully regulate and re- strict distribution of it's products. A second question was whether the re stricton Of distribution through 1000 "Iicensed" dealers was an illegal combination and monopoly under the sherman antitrust law
 Other talking machine manutactur- CTS and other patcntces generally use the license plan. restrictions upon actual sale prices having been held Illegal by the court.
 That the license plan is a mere subterfuge adopted to control retail 1 prices to the public was con.ended by the Macy company in the present proceedings. The appellate court be low, however. upheld the license plan, stating ratentecs could thus limit the use, upon payment of royalties, of their products when not actually parting win the legal title.
 An injunction was secured in the lower courts by the Victor company against threatened cut-rate sales of it's machines.
 Under the so-caI1eG patent monopo- iIy decisions of the supreme court in the Dick mimeosraph and other cas, es, the Macy company contended that the license giving the right only to use the products was unlawful. In the mimeograph decision from which Chief Justice White and former Jus
 ices Hughes and Lamar dissented, the court held that Datentoes could prescribe what related articles could be used with patented machines. How ever, in a patent medicine case with Justices McKenna, Holmes, Lurton 1 and Van Deyanter dissenting, the court held that patentees, after hay ing once actually sold and lost all interest in a patented article, canno, | further restrict resale prices.
 The Macy company contended in the Victor case that upon receipt of full royalty upon delivery of ma chimes. further restriction upon re- sale prices, through license, is merely an attempt to eyade the law.
