WAR FUND
— IVE—
I March 11th To March 16th
The Knights‘of Columbus have established and are establishing recrea
tion centers in the military camps in this country and France. These centers
are life-savers f>»r the soldiers. They not only rest and restore them phys
ically, but they ire a boon to them mentally. They are home to the home
sick and medinpe to the worn out. The camps couldn’t get along without
them. Creed iifforgotten; religious lines are wiped out in this work. Protest
ants are as *elcome as Catholics. No man is asked what he believes or
whether he bfteves. It’s just: “What do you need?”
Every C<|povan who gives to this fund is contributing to the comfort of
the soldiers M
Don't vjalt to be asked to give. It is your duty to see that your dollars
get into fund If you have given already, give again—give until it hurts.
You will 'Iper have an opportunity to put your dollars to a better use.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.—Six
ty million dollars were at stake to
day when arguments were begun in
the United States circuit court of ap
peals on the appeal of the suit on the
Minerals Separation Limited, against
the Butte and Superior Mining Com
pany, in which the separation cor
poration charges the mining concern
with infringement of a patented pro
cess for extracting ore by floata
tion.
Great interest is attached to the
trial because of the large sum in
volved and the possible effect the
decision will have on future mtnlng
cases. Bindley M. Garrison, former
secretary of war under President
Wilson, is chief counsel for the Min
erals Separation, Limited, and Thom
as M. Sheridan appeared for the
Butte end Superior corporation.
Exhibits will be introduced in the
course of the trial are valued at $60,
000. They include a motion picture
film which depicts scenes in smelters
in which ore was extracted; samples
of ores, and machines used' in ex
tracting the ore'.
The appeal on which arguments
were begun today was taken from
the decision of United States District
Judge G. Bourquin, of Montana by
the Butte and Superior corporation.
Judge Bourquin, upheld the conten
tions of the separation concern that
their patented process had been in
/ringed upon, granted an injunction
ordering the mining concern to cease
utilizing the process, and gave the
separation corporation royalty dam
ages approximating $10,000,000.
If the appellate court affirms Judge
Bourquin's decision, the minerals
separation corporation will institute
similar proceedings against other
^mining concerns which are alleged
also to have infringed upon its pa
tented process. Damages, if granted
in these cases, will total more than
$60,000,000, officials of the company
said today.
The question of infringement of
patented processes was decided by
the United States supreme court in
the Hyde case, in December 1916, in
which the owners of the process were
said to have gained a complete vic
tory. In that case it was decided that
a patent was held in the process which
called for use of one tenth of one per
cent of oil. The Hyde decision played
a great part in the trial before Judge
I Bourquin, as it was frequently cited as
! authority.
j Contentions of the Butte and Super
ior Mining Company were that the
[ process they used was not covered in
[the Hyde decision, because they were
j using one per cent or more of oil,
j and that since substantially the same
I results could be obtained with a frac
| tion of one per cent, the supreme court
had been mistaken in its opinion and
that the patent was void for lack of
invention. Counsel for the minerals
separation corporation contended that
j the supreme court has not imposed
any limitation on the amount of oil
that might be used, as has been as
serted by the defendants.
