NEW PLEA FILED
IN COPPER CASE

Minerals Separation, Ltd. has filed a
supplemental plea in the United states
District Court in Wilmington, in its
case against the Miami Copper Co, in
which Minerals Separation asks for a
preliminary Injunction restraining the
Miami Company from alleged continued
infringement OF the formers frOth nota-
ti0n process. The motion has been ar
gued and submitted, and decision is ex-
pected in about two weeks.
The hearings in the accounting that
are being held before a master in the
Miami ease now center mainly upon the
question Of whether or not fotation as
practiced in a Callow cell without prior
agitation with air and oil in a Pachuea
tank constitutes infringement This is
an intricate point, involving dayS. Of
cross-examinatlon. But II is expected
that, when finally this and other man
ners Of use have been gone over in this
case, the whole question OF what does
and does not constitute infringement
Will be pretty well determined. Ac-
counting has already been completed
on the infringements as outlined in the
first three counts OF the United States
Supreme Courts order.

Of No. coo Lord street, had a narrow
escape from serious injury this morn
ing Mr.. Lord had gone into the store
OF W. T. Farley, No. 2i3 Market street,
leaving his son outside by the show

out and bring the baby in"

there was a cra.l "as If the whole
front Of the building were coming in, -
as Mr.. Bush put it. Mr.. LOrt, Mr..
Bush and employees Of the store ran
10 the front Of the building where a
truck belonging 10 the J. A. Bader
Construction Company was backed up
against the show window. The fragile
baby coach had been crushed by one
Of the truck wheels. The father
shuddered when he thought OF the
fate his baby had SO narrowly
escaped.
When the little one saw the fate Of
his baby carriage he was much NeNed'
and gave vent to a great many express
sions in protesting language Of baby
land.
Two large plate glass windows were
shattered, and the three-inch support
ing post was crushed.
The large truck had been left on the
east side OF Market street, while the
driver, Clarence A. Bader, had gone

cordlng to Mr.. Bader, the brake mechan-
ism had become disengaged, causing the
