INVENTOR SUES FOR
40 MILLION DAMAGE
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel


DULUTH, Mimi, Dec 16.-Claiming
that the Oliver Iron Mining company
for ten years has been using an ore
washer. on the basic principles of
which he holds the patent, Captain AL
exander McDougall, an inventor and
president of the McDougall- Duluth
Shipbuildng company. today brought
suit for 100000, 900 against the mining
company. The complaint was filed with
the clerk of the United States district
court.
A staff of nine attorneys from Chi
cago, Omaha and st. Paul represent
Captain McDougall in the action.
The defendant company is owned, di-
rectly or indirectly, by the United
States Steel corporation. Captain Nc
Dougall states in his complaint; that
this latter company was given a copy
of his patent and warned not to in
fringe.
Captain McDougall's' contention is
that John c. Greenway, an officialu OF
the Oliver company, obtained, on April
{, 1908, q patent on an ore washer, ate
seeing plans of one of which Captain
McDougall himself had patented, but a
few weeks before. and that Greenway's s
contrivance, while not identical to his
own, otherwise owes its origin to the
plans which he exhibited.
In asking his damages, Captain Nc
Dougall alleges that the infringing
machinery of the Oliver company has
been in operation ten years, and esti-
mates that ir that time twenty millio,
tons of ore have been washed. and that
the process has enhanced the vluation
of each ton 81.
In addition to his claim for 100000,

FORMER EDITOR IS
A WITNESS AGAINST
SOCIALIST BERGER
Covert Editorial Attacks
Read-Letters introduced
Employees Resign To
Avoid Taint Of Disloyalty

CHICAGO, Dec ia mass of doc
umentary evidence, in support of the
governments charges that Victor L.
Berger of Milwaukee violated the es-
pionage law in the anti-war campaign
he carried on as editor of the Milwau-
kee Leader (socialist), was presented
to the jury in Judge Landis' court to-
day, in the trial of five socialist party
chiefs.
Extracts from numerous anti-war
editorials, which Berger caused to be
published in the Leader, We're read into
the record by District Attorney Clyne.
j. +. Harris. formerly managing
editor OF the Leader, testified that he
resigned his position in May, 1917, be-
cause of a dispute with Berger over an
order received, to print, for the second
time, the proclamation and war pro-
gram of the St. Louis socialist conven-
ton.
Berger ordered that the socialist
anti-war platform be printed for the
second time" said the witness. Il
talked it over with my assistants and
we consulted the federal district attor-
ney in Milwaukee, who expressed the
opinion that it would be dangerous to
print the platform. We then prepared
signed statement, which we present.
Z
opinion the platform was seditious, and
that those responsible for publishing it
might be liable for prosecution by the
government
Berger Assumed All Blame
Berger said he was the responsible
head of the paper and insisted upon it
being published again over our pro-
test He said he would take all the
blame. I then told him would resign.
He expressed regret because the only
| two men in the office he would con-
slider for the position were pro-ally.
/ My predecessor was A. NJ. Simonds,
who disagreed with Berger over the
/ policy of printing certain articles
The witness said he previously had
been criticized by Berger for the way
in which war news had been handled
at times.
MY instructions from Berger were
TO use the Berlin dispatches as leaders
in the war news" said Harris. He
always said that the Berlin stories were
more reliable because the news from
I London and France was censored. One
1 day we printed a signed war story, re-
ceived from the United Press. and
Berger was angry because it got into
the paper. He said it was untrue and
rot I do not remember just what the
story was about. Berger never wanted
anything printed that might offend
German readers. He objected to stories
which referred to the Germans as
| Huns and Boches."
Had Attacked Kaiser
On cross examination, Harris admit
ted that Berger has, on numerous oc-
casions, printed editorials attacking
the kaiser and the junker class in Ger
many. Judge Landis refused to allow
the witness to answer question, alleg-
ing that Berger's attacks on the kaiser
had been responsible for Berger's de-
feat in his race for congress in 1914.
The witness said Berger printed
London and Paris war news in the pa
per, and so far as he knew had never
suppressed any of these stories.

Fear Stability of Price
After the official forecast of record
breaking wheat production had. been
made public there was considerable
speculation as to whether the govern
ment would sustain loss in support

year. Opinion on the subject appar-
emily was divided.
Some officials said the government
is assured of full return on all the

because of the control of markets and
shipping, and that American consump-
ton probably will be greatly expanded.

Silva, and Leyva Cruz who were exc
cuted on the Mexican side of the lire
near Aqua Prieta.

in a message to the governors Office
from the wife of DIR. Huerta who SAID

possible, opened communication with
the authorities of Douglas and Cochise
county. a message from City Marshal
Charles Cross of Douglas said that 1t
had been ascertaiped that the four
men had been shot. The acting gov

manding that military district for liz
formation, as the crossing of the line
had been effected within his jurisdic-
ton. Colonel Morgan had also been
informed of the kidnapping of Huerta
and of the execution of him and his
associates. The acting governor di-
rected the county attorney of Cochise
county to continue the investigation
of the case.

From such information as could be
secured yesterday it appeared that
some weeks ago a robbery occurred
on the road between Naco and Aqua
Prieta and that the bandits secured
a large sum of money. Huerta, Leyva
Cruz and Silva were suspected of the
robbery. The city and county authori-
ties of Douglas and Cochise located
S3,100 in the possession of Huerta. Il
