SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.—The ac
tion instituted by the Marconi Wire
less Telegraph Company against the
Kilbourne & Clark Company of Seat
tle, alleging patent infringements, and
which was decided yesterday by the
United States circuit court of appeals
adversely to the Marconi company, not
onff- involved approximately $7,000,000
in damage claims, but also the right
of many trans-oceanic and coastwise
vessels to use wireless sets.
The decision yesterday covered but
a phase of the action, this being a di
rect suit against the Kilbourne & Clark
Company in which approximately
$3,000,000 was claimed for alleged in
fringement on the Marconi patented
mechanism. Another action for $4,000,
000 damages instituted by the Marconi
company against the United States
navy is pending in the federal court of
claims, it being held in this pleading
that the navy is using the Kilbourne
& Clark mechanism without regard for
the alleged Marconi rights therein.
In its answer the Kilbourne & Clark
Company held that there was no in
fringement, as it used a set entirely
distinct from the plaintiff company. On
December 11, 1916, the United States
district court in Seattle adjudged that
Cbftain of the claims of the Marconi
company regarding what are known as
the Oliver J. Lodge patents were sus
tained, but that the patent rights had
expired and no damages should be
forthcoming. Certain other claims of
the Marconi company were held valid,
but it was held that there was no in
fringement on the part of defendant
company.
The defendant company appealed
from that portion of the decree which
sustained the Marconi patents. The
^plaintiff appealed because the court
held that the defendant’s apparatus
did not infringe on the Marconi mech
anism.
On April 7, 1919, the navy depart
ment urged and secured a postpone
ment, as it felt that a decision might
affect its war activity. The hearing
was finally held June 3 and 4, 1919,
and the case taken under advisement.
* Technically the case revolved around
this contention:
The Marconi apparatus contains a
closed primary oscillating circuit and
an open oscillating circuit, the two
Inductively coupled and tuned to each
other, effecting wireless transmission.
The Kilbourne & Clark apparatus, ac
cording to the defendant claims, con
tains a non-oscillating primary circuit
not inductively coupled to an open os
cillating circuit. The Marconi com
pany holds that there is such inductive
coupling in the opposing mechanism,
and therein lies the infringement.
If the action is carried to the su
preme court of the United States, judg
ment there for the Marconi company
would mean the collection of the dam
ages mentioned and the stripping of
many big vessels and business con
cerns of apparatus containing the ques
ti^ed patents. A judgment the other
way would mean a loss of the Marconi
wireless claims and the unquestioned
right of the defendant corporation to
enter generally into the wireless busi
ness.

GOOD DRAMA AND COMEDY
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
“The Public Be Damned,” showing
again tonight at the Empress, involves
the most vital question of today, the
1 cost of necessities. It is a vivid expose
of food gambling, and vividly pictures
; the conditions resulting. “The Movie
Dummy,” a two-reel comedy, complet
I ing the program, is a feature attrac
j tion in itself—one of the funniest com
edies shown this season.
Tomorrow night a stupendous Art
craft special, “The Woman Thou
Gavest Me,” based on Hall Caine’s
book of the same name, played by
Katherine McDonald, said to be “the
most beautiful woman on the screen,”
and supported by a wonderful cast of
artists, each one carefully selected for
the part played, will be the attraction.
H. R. Thomas has started a mild

Men are seeing dimly the failure of
their old ideals. A century ago they
built high hopes on the “rights of
man” and the “rights of nations.” The
first were secured by good laws and
institutions; second, by well-balanced
treaties. What happened? Every
man for himself; capital against labor
and labor against capitl; nation
against nation in a trade battle. In
holding fast to our ‘rights’ we lost
sight of our duties, and especially the
duty of service and sacrifice. We fail
to realize the dominion of Christ in
history, but when man is aroused and
feels touch of that infinite hand he
realizes that things are temporal. He
is not satisfied, nor very happy, sin
becomes real, the eternal is full of
voices calling mankind up to a higher
plane of existence—Christianized civ
ilization.
