Motion Picture Patents Company Is
Ordered Dissolved by District
Court at Philadelphia Opens for
First Time a Free Market to Pro
ducers of Picture Plays.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. J. Tho
United Slates district court today
decided the anti-trust dissolution suit
against tho Motion Picturo Patents
company, in favor of tho Rovcrnment.
Tho defendants named in the orig
inal petition of complaint besides the
Motion Picture Patents company aVo
tho General Film company, Biograph
company, Thomas A. Kdison, Inc.,
Fssnnay Film Manufacturing com
pany, the Kalem company, Inc., Goe.
Klcine, Lubin Manufacturing com
pany, Melios Manufacturing com
pany, Pathe Freres, tho Zelig Poly
scope company, tho Vitagraph com
pany, Frank L. Dier, Henry B. Mar
in and Samuel Long.
In Itcstrabd of Tnnl
The court in its decision states thai
all the contracts enumerated iu tho
government's petition nnd tho com
bination therein described wero a
conspiracy in restraint of trade' and
therefore illegal, and that they con
stituted, with the exception of the
operations of tho Melics Manutnc
turiiiR company, a monopoly iu viola
tion of tho nnti-trust laws.
Tho court made no suggestions as
to how tho alleged combination was
to be dissolved, but requested that a
decree bo submitted for approval. It
is probable that tho case will bo
taken lo the supremo court.
The court declared that the grant
inir of a patent does not confer a li
cense to do that which the law for
bids. Tho court found that tho de
fendants wero far beyond what was
necessary to protect patent rights
and Hint their acts constituted a vio
lation of the anti-trust laws.
Monojioly Organized
It was charged by the government
that the'allcged monopoly was form
ed in 1008 by virtually all the man
ufacturers of moving picture films in
the country, tinder an agreement
mado by these concerns, it was nl
loged the Motion Picture Patents
company was made tho holding con
cern of nearly all the patents that
have been issued. A list of theaters
and mining picture places was pro
pared and no film cxihniige, it was
alleged, was allowed to dibtrihute
films to any exhibitor except those
named on the list. Uniform prices
and rules wero made, it was further
alleged, and if the film exchanges did
not observe the orders of tho so
called trust their supply was cut off.
The suit was tiled August 10, 1IMJ
nn.l final nnrument was heard in De
cember, 101 1. Tho suit was conduct,
ed for tho government by F.dwin P.
Giosvcnor, sMeial assistant to the
attorney general.

UNITED STATES TO
L
OF
WASHINGTON', Oct. 1. Unless
Captain Von Papen, tho German
military attache, is voluntarily with
drawn by his government, indications
today wero that within a short time
tho United States would request his
recall.
All tho pajicrs carried by James F.
J, Archibald, the American corre
spondent involved iu tho cne of Dr.
Diimha, Iiavo now been placed before
state department officials, and while
final decision will await the return ot
Secretary Lansing, it became known
today that the documents disclose a
transgression of diplomatic propri
eties on Von Pnpen's pnit, such as
caused the recall of the Austrian
ambassador.
In the documents now iu possession
of tho Mato department aro four
cipher letters from Dr. Dumba, sotno
from Captain Vou Papeu, and one, it
is believed, from Count Von Hern
storff, although on tho hitter point
official confirmation was lacking.
Thece was nothing, so far as offic
ials would disclose, which indicated
that tho German ambassador had
violated diplomatic proprieties.

port current in London.
Tho air patrol of Parts lias been
remarkably effective. Though tho

from tho city, Paris has been prac
tically Immune for months from air
attacks, an Immunity doubtless duo
to tbo fact that day and night French
