ANSWERS SUFFRAGE FOE.
Stephens Says Women Voters
Helped California.

SACRAMENTO. Calf. July 1o.-In
compliance with request from Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait, national suf-
frage leader, Gov. William D.,
Stephens has sent a telegram to Gov.
H. A. Robert of Tennessee denying
the statements of Annie Beck of Los
Angeles to the Tennessee legislature
that suffrage has proved a failure in
California.
The governors telegram follows:
Politics are cleaner. government
better administered and the moral
welfare Of the people far more intel
ligently and effectively promoted in
California because of woman suffrage.
Statements to the contrary are not
justified by facts and results. Equal suff-
frage in California has justified itself
in every way. no exceptions 1t was
carried by about 5000 in 1910. 1t
would carry now by about 100000 if
voted on by men alone: If voted upon
by both men and women it would

AERIAL PATENTS UPHELD.
American Rights Protected Against
Invasion.

NEW YORK. July 1o.-American
airplane patent rights were upheld
against foreign infringement In a de-
cision by Federal Judge Thomas 1.
Chatfield in Brooklyn. The decree
perpetually restraints the Interallied
Aircraft Corporation of New York
from selling or using in the United
States foreign built machines which
are liable to the charge of patent in
fringement.
The suit was brought by the, Wright
Aeronautical Corporation Of Paterson,
N. ]. A similar suit is pending against
the Aerial Transport Corporation of
Delaware. which planned to use Brit
ish planes in air express service be-
tween Chicago and New York.
= The original Wright patent on a
means for maintaining and restoring
lateral equilibrium was upheld by
Judge Chatfield. which is interpreted
as meaning that planes adopting
rights sold in some foreign countries
cannot be imported into this country
for sale.
