WRIGHTS CLAIM RIGHTS
FOR AEROPLANE SALES.
Now Yurie, May 81.—There w
trouble roiniiiK for nil aeroplane
builder* in tins country who shall
attempt to put, their machines on
the market. The Wright brothers
claim the basic patents on ill I mu
chaines of tie- bi-plum* putt ern
having the “aero curves” in the
mam sustaining planes, and prac
tically all of the flying machines
in America which have thus fur
Mown or have given promise of
living are of this general design, j
It. is likely that the first skir
mish will occur between the
Wrights and the recently formed
Herring-Curtis Aeroplane Com
pany of Hammondsport, N. Y.
Mr. Curtis recently received an
order from the Aeronautic Society
of this city to build an aeroplane
for its members, and upon the ar
rival of lln* Wrights from Europe
hood afterward they notified their
lawyer to institute proceedings in
an infringement suit as soon as
the sale became an assured fact.
This will be the aeroplane built
for sale m America outside of or
ders received by tbe Wrights, and
therefore it, will bo the first, op
porl unity the Wrights have had
in test, the validity of their claims.
Hundreds of aeroplune* have boon
built, the greater number of them
on lines similar to the Wright
iniielnne, but the Wrights made
no move in tin* direction of estab
lishing tlnur patent rights until
t he sale was announced.
The announcement t hat th e
Wrights were planning to enforce
t lu'ir claims was no surprise to
Mr. Curtis, lb* said the litigation
would be a friendly tost suit and
tin* sooner the question of the pa
tents is settled the better it would
be for nil concerned.
A. M. Herrington Inis for n
Jong time insisted that he and j
not the Wrights was (lie rightful
owner of the basic patents on the
neroplnii", assorting that lie dis
covered the secret of the curved
piano and other features, and ob
tained patents long lie fore the
Wright brothers ever built a gli
der.

CABANISS FOUND GUILTY;
DIRECTORS MAY BE.
Macon, (ja., May 80—J. W. j
Cabaiiiss was found guilty of de-;
daring dividends which the Ex- j
change hank liad not earned in aj
verdict rendered at 12 o’clock last!
night. He was recommended to j
the mercy of the court. Judge
Whipple immediately passed aen-'
teuce. This was a fine of sf/X) and j
a term of twelve months on the!
state prison farm. His attorneys
immediately asked for a new trial
and bond was made.
At SG3O Judge Whipple begun
his charge, and ut. 10 the case was
submitted to the jury. All day in
tense interest has been shown,and
great crowds have attended the
trial. As the case grew in tension
many people shed tears, the urge-!
moots of the speakers having sway-!
ed with wonderful effect, il. H.
Cubaniss, of Atlanta, a brother,
was the only close relative of the
accused man who remained to the
lust by hie side. No more pnthe- j
tic «>r touching case than this has |
passed the dockets here in many i
years.
Brown House, Macon, Oil., May j
80. —There in a belief prevailing |
today that tie* directors of the j
Exchange bank who administered
the allairs of the institution along
with President Cahanias, will find
themselves on a hard road as a re
sult of the findings in tin* trial
which resulted in conviction for
Mr. Cubaniss. The claims of the
defense through Attorney Joe Hill
Hall wer** that some <>f them Inid
joined eagerly in an effort to place
all the responsibility upon the
president for the alleged illegally
declared dividends.
This brought out in emphatic
terms from Cahnniss in his state
ment a declaration that it was
not his but the vote of the direc
tors that made a dividend possi
ble, and Unit h** had not voted,
hut hud presented the facts to the j
body as they hod been furnished
him by employees of the bank,!
and the directors finally voted the j
I dividends in all eases.
This line of thought cropped :
i out all along in the trial, and
; many times when the defense |
went at length into explanations, i
tin* directors were implicated. I
Many times the defense claimed!
that the director* were responsi
ble, as was the president, and it
was asked before the jury, why
the directors had not been held
accountable for the blunders.
Whether Solicitor General Grace
will act on the new suggestions
coming out of the Cubaniss trial,
no one has positively stated, but
the long light between factions in
the bnnlr.it is believed now, will
! cause act ion to be taken against
’ the directors.

UNITED STATES TO GROW J
FIGS IN CALIFORNIA, j
Washington, May 81.—The j
I'nited States department of ag-|
ricultnro inis solved the question |
of growing the Smyrna fig in j
Erenso county, California in the I
heart of the Sun Joaquin valley. |
This was accomplished l>v import-j
inga peculiar kind of wasp,winch
fructifies the figs from Smyrna.
Geo. 0. Hooding, one of the
early settlers of the San J oaqiiin
valley began experimenting with
the Asiatic fig some time ago, but
the fruit failed to mature. After
much study, it. was found that the
insects wore a necessary factor.
The government sent, an expert
to Asia, who brought back a num
ber of little caprifigs, containing
the insects. The bugs were plac
ed ou the Smyrna trees in the
Roeding orchard and carefully
i protected during the winter. With;
1 1 lie coming of spring many eolo
j nies of the wasps appeared, and
the crops of Smyrna figs has since
i been a big success.
