Olds, W oriman Sc King Reliable Merchandise Reliable Methods Ex-Secretaryof State to Give Address at Heilig Thea- ter This Evening. Pacific Phone Marshall 4800 Home Phone A 6231 MRS. BRYAN TO SPEAK, TOO Commoner's AVlfe Expected to Talk Briefly at Public Reception in Portland Hotel Saturday. Other Functions Planned. Otis of the country's most distin guished citizens is coming to town to day and he lacKs a title by which to designate him. So. by common consent, it seems, peo ple have taken to calling him merely Bryan. They might call him ex-Secretary of State, ex-Representative In Congress, the "peerless leader," the "Commoner," the "silver-tongued ora tor," or something or the other to in dicate any one of the place that he has held in public life, but no one thinks of referring- to him as other than just Bryan. Most people even leave the ".Mr." off. This familiar use of his name doesn't imply disrespect, either, but is typical, rather, of the intimate relations In which he is held by his admirers. Despite the vicissitudes of his politi cal career, many persons will be out to greet Mr. Bryan while he remains in Portland. Tarty Due Late Today. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan will arrive here at 5:30 this evening from Albany. They will leave the Oregon Electric train at the Jefferson-street station and pro ceed from there to the Portland Ho tel by automobile. Milton A. Miller, Collector of Internal Revenue, and one of Mr. Bryan's most intimate friends, will meet him at Albany, where he is scheduled to speak today, and ac company nim to Portland. A big re ception committee will meet them at the station. The ex-Secretary's principal speech while in Portland will be at the Hei lig Theater at 8 o'clock tonight. His subject will be "Fundamentals." Ad mission will be BO cents, 75 cents and SI, and the proceeds will be appropri ated to the social work of the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective Society. Ex-Governor West will introduce iiim, Senators Lane and Chamberlain and other prominent Democrats will have places on the stage. An informal reception will be held at the Portland Hotel immedately fol lowing his arrival here, and preceding the lecture at the Heilig. Mr. Bryan will be a guest of nonor at luncheon at the Chamber of Com merce Saturday noon. It is announced that this will be a purely democratic affair with a small "d" and that everyone is' invited to be there, re gardless of politics. Tickets now are to be had at the office of Robert A. Miller. 333 Worcester building:. Mrn. Bryan o Speak. Bot:i Mr. and Mrs. Bryan will be re ceived at a public function in the par lors of the Portland Hotel at 2 o'clock Saturday. It is expected that Mrs. Bryan will give a brief address at that time. This reception is in charge of a committee of Portland women, headed by Dr. Esther Pohl-Loveioy. Following this reception the visitors will be taken for an automobile ride about the city and its environs. Milton A. Miller, accompanied by hie daughter. Mrs. S. M. Miles, will go to Albany early today to meet Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. Mr. Miller is a former resident of Linn County and will in troduce Mr. Bryan to his neighbors there.

Implorins the people of this country to- let no thoughts of var enter their minds, urging them to keep calm and to remember that none of the belliger ents is more guilty than the other, and declaring the world must have this country as the great neutral to woo tortured Europe back to civilization and humanity, William J. Bry -i ad dressed 10.0U0 persons of Medford and Jackson County in the City Hall Park tonight. - "Remember," said Mr. Bryan, "that we are protesting, not to Germany alone, but to England as well; that we are asked to choose between the coun try that believes in drowning peaceful citizens to the country that believes in starving them. Remember, that the nations at war are all guilty, and don't let hasty passions arouse flames that will draw this country into tije hor- jilmo uMioairupue aoroau. "Tljese protests will, in my opinion continue, for the belligerents are so blind with hate and rage that they cannot, stop to consider our rights or the rights of any other neutral. In ternational law now seems to be made tor nations at war, ana wnne the war lasts these traditions will be hard to change, but when it is over let this country work for international law that concedes something to peace; that places the rights of nations at peace above the rights of nations at war. "No, I do not favor this country's en tering this war under any circum stances. fo one can tell what sac rifices it would involve In men or money. For myself I do not believe in killing a million of our men and boys because 100 citizens of this coun try went where they had no right to go. I believe it is the duty of our citizens to keep this country out of war. Mr. Bryan was taken to Crater Lake yesterday by a delegation from the Medford Commercial Club, and after the address tonight he and Mrs. Bryan were honored with a reception at the Hotel Medford, which kept them busy shaking hands until after midnight. They were scheduled to leave on the Shasta Limited at 2 A. M. for Albany, l! r . ! II M ' r V ' . . f i S! II s v? r I i if :j - . K if :: M A V- : f f l ! v i " 4 r r - '" 1 ' V. J. BRYAX.

(Continued From First Page.) defendants on trial for alleged con spiracy to use the United Ltatea mails in a fraudulent atoclc-sellingr scheme re F. M. LeMonn, ex-s&lesmanager of the company; O. E. Gernert. ex-a. :ist- ant sales manager; O. A. . Campbell, vice-president and director: Thomas Bilyeu.. director and inventor of the coin machines the manufacture and sale of which was the purported pur pose of the company, and B. F. Bonne well and H. M. Todd, salesmen. The Government has introduce.! evi dence against each defendant in turn, and is now concentrating its case on Thomas Bilyeu through evidence in tended to show that his patents are not commercially valuable because of prior patents covering the basic principles of his macuines, which would make the manufacture and sale of the Bil yeu machines infringements on these prior patents. Patent Official Again on Stand. E. D. Sewall, examiner in charge of the classification bureau of the United States Patent Office, and for 23 years conected with the office, who testified Wednesday that on January 29, 1311, when the company advertised., that it owned and controlled patents to five machines, it had not even made appli cations for the patents, was again the Government's star witness yesterday. He was on the stand all day. United States Attorney Reames completed his direct examination of Mr. bewail at 2:10 o'clock, but his cross-examination by Joseph L. Atkins, patent attorney for the defense, had only got fairly under way when court adjourned at 1 o'clock. United States Attorney Reames had the witness take up one by one the five machines to which the company de clared in its advertisement of October 29. 1911, that it owned and controlled: the patents. Patent Application Related. First is "the lightning change mak er, said Mr. Reames. w nen ao me records of the Linitea states i-atent Office show that the patent was ap plied for?" The application was niea ucioDer 31, 1912," replied the witness. When was the application filed lor the bank cashier patent?" It was filed on June 7, 1912." When was the application filed for the computing machine patent?" That application was filed July 19, 1912." And the new style .adding and list ing machine, went on the United States Attorney. "W hen wan the ap plication tuc a patent on It riled "The records snow it was .nea .aiarcn 20. 1913." "When was the application filed for a patent to the United States Cashier Company's computing and currency paying machine?" "That application was mea on No vember 5, 1912." Four Held by Another Concern. The United States Attorney ques tioned the witness further about each of IS applications for patents filed for the company, and sought to show the present status of each application and to identify it witn eacn Jiiacnine. Mr. Sewall testified that six patents had been issued and that there were 12 applications still pending. "And of these the title to four never went through the United States Cash ier Company, but direct to the Inter national Money Machine Company?" "Yes" Mr. Sewall testified further that. In his opinion as a patent expert, patents owned by the United States Cashier Company were dominated and con trolled by previous patents. The patent for the Eilyeu cashier machine, he saiu, was dominated in this way by a patent issued a man named Ltndelof In 1899 which covered the basic principle, and the patent owned by the company to a computing machine was likewise domi nated and controlled by the Osborne patent, owned by the National Cash Register Company. . He explained by an example what tie meant by being "dominated and con trolled" by a prior patent. "Let it be supposed." he said, "that there were no hats. Then suppose that a man invented a hat and obtained a patent on the hat. His patent would cover the basic principle of hats. "Then suppose that another inventor found that hats would wear much longer and be greatly Improved by the addition of a sweat band, and that he patented the sweat band. "Now the first inventor could not use the sweat band in his hats, because the second man held the patent, but he could continue to manufacture and sell hats. But the second man. although he could manufacture and sell sweat bands, could not manufacture and sell hats, because the first patent would dominate and control his patent." He went on to testify that, in .his opinion, the Lindelof patent dominated in the same way the Bilyeu Cashier patent, and the Osborne patent domi nated the computing machine patent. Procedure of Office Kxplalned. When the United States Attorney was attempting to show by the witness the priority of the Lindelof patent. At torney Atkins, for the defense, ob jected. "Has the patent office any Jurisdic tion as to infringements?" he asked. "No, sir." replied the witness. lie went on to relate, however, that when an application for a patent ia made, a statement showing all previous patents or applications that may conflict with his invention is. furnished the appli cant. Attorney Pipes, for the defense. asked if the very fact that a patent had been granted the Bilyeu cashier did not of Itself establish its value. The witness declared this was not the case. "A patent simply keeps anyone else from making a machine In the identical way and for the Identical purpose you describe." he testified. "It does' not say that some previous patent may not prevent you from constructing a. device that will be effective on the market." Court Admits Priority Evidence. Attorney Atkins brought out that the Lindelof patent expires next year. He also brought out the point that the patent office does not advise an appli cant, and contended that the Govern ment therefore had no rle-ht to go into the question of whether Mr. Bilyeu and his associates knew that prior patents conflicted with his patent. Overruling the objection. Judge Bean said: "The question In this case is one of good faith, and if the defendants knew at the time that their patent was invalid, that would be a. circum stance showing whether or not they were acting in good faith." During the nearly three hours of his cross-examination, Mr. Sewall proved to be a. remarkable witness. His cross examination by Attorney Atkins, an expert in patent law, was confined principally to proof in cross-examination form of the knowledge Mr. Sewall has of patent law. He not only showed a knowledge of the science of patent law that could not be shaken, but also of the law on infringement suits and the effect of prior patents on later pat ents. Mr. Atkins sought to show that many of the features of the five machines advertised on October 29. 1911, were really contained in the Bilyeu machine, to which Mr. Bilyeu had a patent of prior date. Mr. Sewall insisted, how ever, that this patent was dominated and controlled by the Lindelof patent, and that the computing machine was dominated and controlled by the Oat borne patent. - The attorney obtained from him. however, the admission that he had had only a slight experience in coin ma chines during nis za years of service in the patent office. "What is meant by the grant of a patent? queried the lawyer. "It means the grant of the exclusive riht for li years to make, use and sell the invented article." replied the witness. "Is a patent valid If it is not useful?" "Xo, sir." "Is It valid if not used?" "No. sir." "Is it valid If granted to a man oho was not the inventor?" "No, sir." Manufacture Declared Kitaential. 'Mr. Atkins then went on to question the witness in an attempt to show that action of the Patent Office In granting a patent is only preliminary and iioi binding of itself, and that the question of patent Infringement cannot be set tled by the Patent Office itself, but can be decided only by a court of com petent jurisdiction. The attorney also brought out a point on which the defense is expected to base much of its case in relation tc the patent matters at iHKue. that tic court will grant an injunction on a new patent, and that the patented arti. cle must be actually manufactured be fore claimants of prior patents ran kik for infringement. The Upbornf paten, owned by the National Cash Ilvgisle; Company, the defense contends, is no being manufactured. The defense also lays e.-i.eclal nrw on the fact that the Patent offi. itself cannot pas on !nf rinirementis. an. that they can be decided only In . court of competent Jurisdiction in pa ent cases. The defense will undoubtedly -oi tend, us indicated iu yesterday's tii.
