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.

I $ I <3 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. i . ... . . 1 Shipment of binding twine just just received]} McQueen.
