PATENT OFFICE
 IS IN BAD WAY
Inadequate Salaries Compel
 Many Experts to Resign

Washington, Jan. 5.-Conditions in the T.. s. Patent Office, resulting it was said, from the inadequate rates of pay, were the chief subject for discussion before the American en- gineering council of the federated American engineering societies which convened here today for two day session. The council has voted to CO., operate with other agencies in a na- tion- wide campaign in behalf of re- forms which it declares to be neces- sary for the protection of American industry and invention.
 designations among the examiners of the patent office according to Ed win J. Prindle, chairman of the coun- cil's patent committee have con- tinued "until now more than half of the force consists of young men fresh from college who have no
 Knowledge whatever either of general or patent law. Twenty positions are unified, he added, because it has been impossible to get men qualified to pass the entrance examination who will accept the salary offered. .
 "At the same time," MT. Prindle declared, .the work of the patent of flee has increased by leaps and bounds.
 "The position in the government service which is most analogous to that of a primary examiner is that of a United States district judge. For the examiner in the first instance, must pass upon the validity of the patent to be granted, as to whatever the alleged invention is novel as com- pared with the prior art, and to whether the novelty rises to the dig nity of an invention as distinguished from the mere skill of the calling.
 When the salary of prmary eX- aminer was fixed in 1S4S Cat s2,5oo) congress apparently considered the position as comparable with that Of a United States district judge for the salaries of the two positions were the same. The United States district judges now receive from S7,5oo to S1O,5oo depending upon the popu- lousness of their districts; but the vitally important and long forgotten examiners have only had one increase of eight per cent in that time.'

"Nho Is Who" in Our City.

Editor Herald ;---
 On ny way to work this morning, found 75 per cent of the walks cov- red with sand, sawdust or ashes. l blessed the adjoining property owners lr occupants. The remaining 25 per sent sat in their windows and laughed 1t the passing pedestrian who slipped and after cutting the figure s with his or her execution in the air finally landed "ker plunk."
 We have city ordinances covering the care of sidewalks. These ordin- ances should be observed or annulled. Between Main street and my home I know of several property owners who make not even a prctense of clearing their walks. They reason, Why should l. l get away with it without call down from the authori- ties, why should l worry?"
 l recall that last winter patrolmen reported violations of the ordinance in out of the way places and failed to report similar cases in what is prac- tically the heart of the city.
 Let us have a thorough enforce ment of the ordinances and no favor tism shown. Place the law abiding citizen on the same footing as the law lefying citizen.
 l object to walking on icy side- walks not covered with sand or ashef while our city laws say l need not ds so.
 Furthermore, enforcement meanH fewer claims against the city from citizens who sustain broken limbs and serious injury.

He Was on Road to
Recovery
9STH DISASTER VICTIM
Made Enviable Record
in Service in Big Of
fensives of War
tBy Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. Edward HI.
Shaughnessy, of Chicago, second as
sistant postmaster general, died here
early today at Walter Reed hospital
from injuries received in the
Knickerbocker theater disaster Sat-
urday night
Although Mr.. Shaunghnessy's in
juries were known to be of critical
nature, his condition had shown i'm
provement up to yesterday and his
death was unexpected. Attending
physicians at the Army hospital to
which Mr.. Shaunghnessy was taken
when removed from the wreckage of
the motion picture theater several
hours after the collapse of it's roof
which caused nearly hundred ia
talities, said his death followed sud-
den heart collapse shortly after mid
night. This was preceded they said,
by development of internal complica-
tions late yesterday. Mr.. Shaugh-
messy suffered broken pelvis and
other injuries in the accident, but for
several days had shown a resistive
power which made physicians hopeful
of his ultimate recovery. Mr.. Shaugh-
nessy's wife and his ten-year-old
daughter Ruth, both, of whom are
now recovering from injuries re-
ceived in the theater disaster, had
not been informed of his death at
an early hour today. They are be-
ing treated at another hospital, the
daughter having had both arms
broken while Mrs. Shaughnessy is suf-
fering from fractured rib and shock.
President Harding had shown con-
slant concern over Mr.. Shaughnessy's
condition and during the first days
after the iccident had received en-
couraging reports of it through Brig

the hospital to make direct inquiry.
The death of the second assistant
postmaster general brings the fatal
ity list of the disaster as now re-
corded by the police up to SO.

These Tell of Progress
of Balloting For
New Pope +
CARDINALS SECLUDED
Expected to Complete
Balloting Within
Two Days

Rome, Feb. 2.-The conclave of
the sacred college which is to choose
g successor to Pope Benedict XIV be-
gan it's sitting today. The fifty-two
cardinals who are in Rome went into
seclusion last night, and when the
great oak barrier at the entrance of
the court yard of st. Damazo was
closed they were cut off from COM
munication with the outside world,
until their task was done.
The balloting is not expected to con-
sumo more than two days and the
next Pope, in the consensus of opin-
ion in Vatican circles, will come from
among the moderate section of the
sacred college. Neither the "irre-
concilables" nor the "peace party
which favors closer relations with
the Italian government is understood
to have a chance to elect it's candi-
date. the moderates holding the bal
ance of power.
Crowds gathered today in st. Pet
er's square to watch for the tell-tale
smoke wreath from the chimney of
the Sistine chapel, where the con-
clave sits. A ballot is taken on the
morning and evening of each day the
conclave is in session and these smoke
puffs are the only indication to the
watchers as to the progress made.
When no election is effected a little
straw is burned with the voting pa
pers, causing the smoke to assume a
dark color. When a choice is finally
made the ballots, burning alone, emit
thin wisp of light smoke.
Until the election, the. only COM
munication between thb approxi-
mately $50 persons in the Vatican
and the outside is through the "rota''
or turning box at the entrance of
the courtyard and such communica-
tions as are made in this way are not
allowed to come to the attention of
the cardinals. Penalty for vialation
of this secrec yis accommodation.

GENOA CONFERENCE
OFFICIALLY STATED
(By Associated Press)

Paris, Feb. 2.-Determined not to
let the grass grow under his feet,

ing on foreign problems and Off
cially decided yesterday that France
would be represented at the interna-
tional economic conference at Genoa.
A. formal acceptance was sent to

ance was given in communique from
the foreign office which does not say
in so many words that France will be

member 0 fthe supreme council.
The statement is in the form of a
denial that Premier Poincaire had tel
egraphed yesterday to Premier Bono
mi of Italy accepting his invitation
to the conference. The announcement
reads:
Contrary to the announcement
published in certain newspapers, it is
ineXact that the French government
made known yesterday by a telegram
addressed to Rome that she accepted
the invitation to participate in the
conference at Genoa.
GAS the premier explained in the
Chamber of Deputies, Premier Bono
mi n convoking the conference merely
executed the decision taken at Cannes
by the allied powers, including France.
1t is in the name of the supreme
council that he sent the invitations
and It was also at Cannes that the
program was ecopted.
"Therefore, there is no occasion for
the French government to give form
al acceptance on either point"
In political circles it was explained
that the communique was intended to
establish that France was already
bound under former Premier Brands
faction at the Cannes conference Of
