To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
This morning / have before me. a
clipping from yesterdays paper with

Cloe Charges City Tires Stolen From
Police Automobiles"
safety Commissioner Cloe charged
at Tuesdays. session of the city COM
mission that employees of the city gar
age had been removing tires from police
cars and selling them for prices as
low as $40. He said he was investi-
eating thoroughly and might have some
thing to report shortly. Cloe claims
that tires as good as new were being
taken from cars and sold and that
brand new tires was then being placed
on cars"
want to say that this statement
is untrue and detriment to Mr.. Phil
lips, manager of the city garage, and
the employees. My statement was that
was informed that tires were being
taken off the cars that would have
probably run 800 or 1000 miles more
and new ones replaced and / made the
statement that l was going to have
Chief McDuff or Assistant Chief
Christian to investigate Ind have police
get requisition from them before hav-
ing tires removed as this would reduce
the operating expenses to a, great ex-
tent. 1t was my intention to have the
police get all mileage out of their tires
possible before asking for new ones and
/ said this with no reflection whatso-
ever on the garage,
l hope you will give this letter the
same publicity as other statements,

Wedderburn. Washington patent law
yer. who Is founder of the league
and the active leader in the fight to
to teach the inventors to be wary of
gilt-edged prospectuses and glowing
promises.
Companies Reap Haryests.
These companies. Mr.. Wedderburn
says, are located all over the country
and are annually reaping a harvest
from gullible inventors Their game
he explains, is as follows: Each week
the patent office publishes an Official
Gazette" containing all the new patents
and their inventors, which is used as
sucker list" To these latter are
sent beautifully engraved cards Offering
to sell their patent rights to some big
manufacturers on a commission basis.
In many cases the inventor falls for
this. being In a hurry to capitalize on
his ideas and later signs a contract
naming his own figure for the price of
the patent.
Often an initial payment, some
times as high as s400 or $780, is de-
manded and obtained. A month later
the inventor is informed that the sale
is temporarily held up because the
purchaser requires a more complete
report.
Says "BloedinEo Follows.
From then on the inventor is bled
for series of payments for a pros
pectus," patent abstract industrial
report, or what not. The companies
mulct the inventors for as much as
times 500, but If they can't get that,
then $50. SIS or even $40. When they
are bled dry they are told their
patents have proved to be useless. In
one case Mr.. Wedderburn investi-
gated, woman was reamed of s1,40o.
and then told. Your patent is alb
solutely no good. Please don't bother
US any more with correspondence"
A full report of the activities OF
these companies has been made to the
Post Office Department with the back
ing of several senator's. Postal in
spectors report that three such con-
Germs have been closed up already,
and they have assured MIR. Wedderburn
that the long lists Of such fraudulent
patent sales companies submitted by
Kim will be investigated at the earli-
est possible time. the office being
busy now investigating fraudulent
oil and land schemes.
Alleged "Bunk" Games.
Mr.. Wedderburn points out that this
latest swindle is more malicious than
other buncombe games, for not only
Sts the dupe himself hurt. but the
whole, public as well suffers. The
country loses because inventors are
discouraged and the application OF
new devices and ideas is held up and
many useful inventions are lost for
I ever. I'm the cases I have investi-
gated" Mr.. Wedderburn said, Il have
found that not any company could
point to a single sale made by them.
The object of the whole scheme Is to
get the various fees from the in
ventors."

TOXIC, January 7.-The police,
after suppressing Saturday night the
Japanese newspaper that published
accounts of the unsuccessful bomb
throwing at the imperial palace Sat
urday, released the story yesterday,
with a formal statement that a Ko-

failed to explode. =
The emperor and his family are not
occupying the palace at present. The
Korean threw three bombs. 1t was
said that at the open space outside
the palace, where the bombs were
thrown, no damage could have been
gone to the palace. Beyond the po-
lice guard, few persons were astir in
the vicinity. The Korean was imme-
dtately arrested. -
Despite the fact that the bomb
throwing was staged by a Korean,
