.DAUGHERTY BEGINS
ACTION TO REGAIN
GERMAN PATENTS
Asks Injunction to Pre-
vent Chemical Founda-
ton Obtaining Fees.

Attorney General Daugherty late
yesterday began legal proceedings
to regain some $500 former German
patents and copyrights now held by
the Chemical Foundation.
A suit in equity. under which
the Foundation is asked to return
to the Alien Property Custodian for
disposition by Congress. all of these
rights. together with all profits de.
rived from their use, was filed in
the United States District Court al
Wilmington. Del.
The Attorney General further
seeks under the bill to enjoin the
Chemical Foundation from prosecut-
ing any of the many suits hereto
fore brought by il to recover license
fees under the patents in litigation
which have been paid in to the
Treasury Department.
The chemical Foundation, headed
by Francis =. Garvan. former Alien
oronerty Custodian. was organized
Turing the Wilson administration as
''philanthropic association" whose
alleged purpose it was to secure
control of enemy-seized patents for
the protection of American industry
approximately $500 patents, COPY
rights, trademarks and applications
for patents subsequently were pur-
chased at private sale at an aggre-
gate cost of s27l,OOO. slightly over
$50 apiece.
Allegations are made by Attorney
General Daugherty in his bill in
equity that the Foundation was or
ganized by a group of interests
which during the war established
"a dye and chemical monopoly in
the United States" These interests
which in 1920 combined into the
Allied Chemical and Dye Corpora
tion. together with the f. l. DUPONT
de Nemours and Company, the At
torney General charged, formed the
Foundation with a view to obtaining
control of many enemy-owned pat
ents and thus insure their monopoly
against German importations after
the war.
The dye and chemical interests in
this so-called conspiracy, the Cow
ernment charges. underworld the
Foundation to the extent of s460,6Oo.
Former President Wilson and
Frank L. Polk. Acting Secretary of
State at the time, the Daugherty
bill asserts, were misled into Issuing
orders for the sale through the sup
preston of certain facts. which.
had they been truly stated, would
have prevented the signing" of the
orders.

HARDING aims
TO STABILIZE.
COAL INDUSTRY
Passage of Borah Bill in
Senate Provides for
Strong Commission.
ZONING is ONE PLAN
Naturalization Included in
Subjects to Be Con-
sidered.

President Harding is about to un-
dertake what he regards as one OF
the most progressive and construc-
tive steps in American economic
history-stabilizati of the great
coal industry.
Power to create commission
authorized to undertake this work
will be granted within a few days.
Both House and Senate have passed
so-called fact finding bills empow-
ering unlimited study o: the coal
industry. These are now in con-
ference, and there is but one serious
difference to iron cut between the
Winslow and Borah measures-that
provision in the latter which auth
orizes study of the advisability of
Matchmaking the mines.
Wants strong Commission.
The President already has in
mind a strong commission" which
will command the respect and sup
port of both operators and miners.
as well as the public. From the
outset the President has believed
that the biennial struggles, pro-
ducing expensive coal. fuel short
ages and bitterness between oper-
ators and men, were built upon
fundamental fallacies and not mere
ly upon contentious such as wage
scales. working hours. etc.
The President enc day made the
remark that there were thre fund
amental causes of mine industry up
keavalS:
l. That there were too many
mines producing coal.
.. That there were too many
men mining coal.
Cause Unrest and instability,
3. That as a result of the ~om-
bination of these two factors there
was a lack of continuity in eni-
ployment making for unrest and in
sta bility in the industry.
There have been many cabinet
discussions on the problem starting
from these fundamentals. Several
plans have been evolved. One scheme
comprehends the coming of the min
ing industry similar to the regional
division of the railroads. This zon-
ing would shu. down mines that fall
below an established standard Of
productivity.
With the passage of the Borah
coal commission bill, by the Senate.
yesterday. the realization of these
ideas is brought nearer. Within
five months after the bill becomes
law. the commission Is required tc
make its first report.

GENEVA, Sept. s.-Poor old Uncle

sponsibility for the worlds evils

the staggering armament costs.
This last charge was made this
afternoon by two Englishmen. Lord
Robert Cecil and H. A. L. Fisher.

SWEETSER FACES
EVANS TODAY FOR

New Yorker Beats Jones,

BROOKLINE COUNTRY CLUB,
Brookline, Mass, Sept. S.-Rem-

art was never as fawless. never
quite as supreme and as over-pow-

W. Sweetser. of New York. played
today in crushing the brilliant
Bobby Jones by s up and I to play.
Unfortunately for our myriad
readers there are no words of suf-
ficient color and power in the only
language we know that can describe
the bewildering magic of Sweetser's
play. Under these verbal limita-
tions for which we are in no way
responsible. it is enough to say that
Sweetser's march to glory was the
greatest ever known in the history
of golf. the greatest single days
achievement we have ever seen in
something less than thirty years
intimate acquaintance with. thirty
varieties of sport.
And while Sweetser. the tall
young New Yorker from Siwanoy
and Yale. was brewing this magic
potion that sent the brilliant
Georgian to his final sleep of the
year, Chick Evans, of Chicago. was
only one stroke behind Sweetser's
devastating charge in crushing the
game Rudy Knepper by the count
of IL and 8.
1t so happened that Sweetser and
Evans turned in a brand of golf
that would have crushed Hagen,
Sarazen, Duncan Mitchell or any
golfer that ever lived. They were
