not Endorsed or supported by the de

THAT record you are so fond Of,

'The stuff you play all the time is

Says Story Untrue
In Rogers Case

20 the Editor OF The star:
Permit me to invite your attention
to an article appearing in The Star of
July IA, page 30. relating to DIR. James
Harris Rogers. L. was inserted as a
special dispatch from Baltimore, Md,
and it is so grossly untrue in it's state
ments, thereby giving your readers
the very opposite of the reliable news
they are accustomed to receive
through your columns, that I know
you will take pleasure in making inn
mediate correction. / am writing this
without the knowledge of DIR. Rogers
and entirely on my own initiative in
the interest of fairness and the dis
semination of truth.
/. The first misstatement referred
to is that DR.. Rogers has lin deci-
sion rendered by Judge Morris A.
Soper) lost again in his fight to pat
ent a device for communicating with
submerged submarines" whereas the
fact Is that Dr. Rogers is not fighting
to patent such device, but it has al
ready been patented to him by United
States Patent No. 1303709, issued May
10, 1919, and his full and complete
right to which was upheld by the
unanimous decision of the three
judges of the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia, rendered Octo.
Der 6, 1924 Rogers VS.. Willoughby ct
al, So App. D. c., 65).
2. The second misstatement is that
DR.. Rogers petition for a patent
was denied by three tribunals of the
Patent Office, whereas the fact is that
the only tribunal Of the Patent Office
which acted upon his petition granted
the same. The matter intended to be
referred to is that, more than five
months after DIR. Rogers patent had
actually been issued and it's contents
made public to the world, Willoughby
and Lowell filed. on October 81, 1919,
a petition asking that another patent
for the same device be issued to them,
Notwithstanding DIR. Rogers patent,
and three tribunals of the Patent Of
flee undertook to grant the petition
of Willoughby Ind Lowell, but their
action was reversed by the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia
in the decision above cited.
3. In a word, the decision of Judge
Soper. referred to in the dispatch to
The Star, is an undertaking by him
lin new proceeding instituted before
HIM by Willoughby and Lowell ask
ing that a patent be issued to them)
to authorize and direct the Commits
sioner of Patents to issue a patent
to them. Notwithstanding a higher
Federal court has already held that
Willoughby and Lowell are not en-
titled to such patent, and patent
for the same device has already been
issued to and is held by DIR. Rogers.
This unusual and anomalous situation
Is, necessarily. Of such great interest
to inventors generally. the legal pro-
fession and the public generally, who
will naturally urge change in any
law which makes such a situation
possible. that i know The Star will
gladly correct the misstatements re-
ferred to which have unwittingly
appeared In it's columns, and which
cover up the real facts.
