Judge Robert W. Tayler Frequently Mentioned as Fine Guber natorial Timber. CUiio republicans are discussing eaitdi- i date- for the governorship nomination j iHNt year. They want a strong man to j i; n against .ludson Harmon. the demo ? atii incumbent, who is likely to be re nominated. Oh loans say that if Mr. Har mon should be re-elected he would im mediately become a strong presidtntial possibility, and they don't want the demo crats to have as big a man as Harmon. 1'hey hope the democrats will take some one who could be depended upon to grab a gold brick, by way of a fantastic is >iie. and run off with it, while the re publicans get away with the real goods, and Harmon, they say. wouldn t do for that. Among the names frequently mentioned by the Ohio repub.icans as fine guberna torial timber is ex-Representative Kob e's \V. Tayler. now holding a federal itidgship in Ohio.

Act -ig Cn?..ner e last year, has broken out iu New York in the shape \ the Wright brothers against the Aeronautic Society on account of the tlving machine which Glenn H. Curtiss soli I to the society. and which has been on exhibition in New York and has made several sticcf ssful flights at Hempstead Plains. This is the beginning of what probably will be a long-drav, n-o it tight in the courts comparable to th - litigation over tRe Berliner patents in the famous Bell telephone case. Suit lias been tiled by the Wrights, Wilbur Wright sigtiitig the bill of complaint. The suit charges the Aeronaut!'- Society with exhibiting for nionev a machine that violates the V.*right patents, and asks to be given thi- custody of the machine for the purpose of de stroying it, and asks also for an account ing for the gate money taken in at the exhibitions and for damages for the in fringement of patent. The Aeronautic Society states unoffi cially through Lee Burridge that the machine was bought from the Herring Curt iss Company with a guarantee that It did not infringe the Wright patents, and the society shifts the defense of the case under this guarantee to the Herring Curt iss Company. Claim All Rights. While this suit is not of supreme im portance iu itself it means the start of a l?gal tight thai is of the greatest in terest in the general development of avia tion. ft is carrying out a promise that the Wrights made when they were here recently. They cla m the basic patent under which all successful heavier than air flying machines operate, and they claim that all such machines that are flying now are an infringement of that patent. They claim that Bleriot. Latham, Cody and Curtiss are all infringing this patent, besides numerous smaller aviators who have machines that have never yet flown. When Orville Wright was last here he was asked what he and his brother pur posed doing about these cases, lie re plied that in the majority of instances they did not think they were worth light ing. but if there were any machines put on the market that cut Into their busi ness they should go after them for in fringement of patent. This seems to have happened in the case of the new Curtiss flier, and the suit probably is the beginning of long litigation that will straighten out in the courts the claims of the various interested parties. Beginning of the Conflict. The beginning of the conflict with the Curtiss machine was just about two years ago. At that the Wrights had been operating a power-driven machine, and while they had not yet come into prominence they were recognized among j scientists interested in the art as among I the premier aviators of the world. When j Orville Wright lirst came to Fort .Myer with the aeroplane that was afterward broken up ho was asked about the work of the Aerial Kxperiment Association, ; which was just maklrig some trials with the June Bug. the first machine which was flown at llammondsport. He said at the time that the use of wing tips was an infringement of the broad Wright patent, but that th^ Kxperiment Asso ciation was using it with the permission of I imself and his brother, and that so long as it was used merely for experi mental purposes they cared nothing aoout it. The Aerial Kxperiment Asso ciation was formed under the presidency of Or. Alexander Graham Bell, with a membership consisting only of F. W. Baldwin. J. A. IX .\lcCurdy. (Jlenti Cur tiss and the late Lieut. Selfridge, who was killed in 11In- fall of the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer. < M ville Wright said that the experiment association had written the Wright brothers tor details of their work, and that these had been furnished for ex periment: ! purposes and to help along the advancement <>f the art. The ass > ci.ition afterward built the June Bug. the lied Wing am. the White Wing, all of which were more or less successful. In i he June Bug Curtiss won the Scientific American trophy for a flight over a measured lv lometer. I'he mosi successful of all the machines of the association, however, was Mc Curdy's Silver Dart, which was tried out at great length over the ice at Badeck, N S last winter, and which McCurdy and Baldwin have since undertaken t-> manufacture iu Canada, where it is said the Wrights have no patent. Since that time the Herring-Curtiss Company was formed at llammondsport. anil the latest Curtiss machine with which long (lights were made and which was -old to the Aeronautic Society of New > ork was built with some changes iii the method of control which the manu facturers claimed got away from the N right patents, but which the Wrights s< em to think did not. The Fundamental Question. The fundamental question involved is whether or not the Wright patent covers all forms of rudders for guiding that may be construed into warping the planes, whether such rudders are really a part of the main planes or both. The original Wright patent was applied for in I'.m:: and was not finally granted till l'.MtK. It was for the warping of the main planes of the machine so as to maintain lateral balance in the air. The patent specifically stated that the planes were flat, wherein they differed from the tna * bine t iat .was finally sold to the govern- ' nieiit. lor this had curved planes to in crease the lifting power, though the warping feature was retained. Claim a Broad One. Their claim is just about as broad as though all wagons had gone on runners and somebody had then invented * wheel and claimed a basic patent on all wheeled traffic. What view the courts will take of the case it is, of course, impossible to say. If the Wrights' claim is sustained, it will mean a basic patent for them, which is a rare thing in patent office practice. So rare is it in fact, that all of the blanks for claims in the patent office are made to read ?Improvements on" various de vices In fact, about the last basic pat ent that was granted was the one on the sewing machine, though there have be.-it numberless improvements on the' sewing machine since then. All the aviators of the world will be interested in the outcome of the Wright curtiss litigation, and much of the fu ture development of the art will depend on the settlement. AT THE BATHING BEACH. MORE WATER STUNTS ! ; Exciting Quarter-Mile Race in ; ! Municipal Pool. i |JULIAN WASHINGTON WINS! A Swim Under the Surface Was New i ! Feature. i EXCITED LADY ON THE SCENE | After Red-Headed Youngster. But, Is Finally Pacified, and Even Enthused. ? i l Joy was unconfined at the municipal | bathing beach. near the Washington j Monument, yesterday afternoon during the third of the series of aquatic eon tests recently inaugurated by Supt. Wil ! Ham B. Hudson. Juvenile Washington turned out in large numbers to take part, and fully 1,000 i'spectators of all ages?the largest crowd that h:is gathered at the beach this st a j son?lined up at the edge of the water, i cheered themselves hoarse and nearly ! fell into the pool in their enthusiasm ! for their favorites. I A feature inaugurated yesterday was j the holding <>f races for colored boys who i patronize the beach. There were many entries in the events in the pool reserved ; for the colored patrons, and an enthu j siastic gallery help <1 lo enliven the occa i sion i A new program was arranged for the i white boys yesterday afternoon. There | was a reh.y raee between three teams of I four boys eaeli. an underwater swim, a i , tnb race and a ?iuarter-mile swim. But ! the quarter-mile swim Was the "classy"! I event of the afternoon. To go that dis-j itaiicc the boys had to swim the length! 'of the l>ig pool Twenty times. On ac ! count of the distance there were l're Iqueiit hanges in the standing of the con testants. ami the best swimmers who | patronize the beach Were entered The t j spectators cheered wildly during ihe en-! jtire contest. I A Warm Contest This. Several boys started in the race, <*lar ence Bailey, Carl Oarrick, Frank Hart man. Blaine Fitzgerald, Julian Washing ton and Edward Foster. Shortly after the start, it was seen that there would be a warm tight for first honors between Bailey and Washington. During the first part of the race Bailey ; ?steadily increased his lead on Washington, atid in the eighteenth lap, with only two more to go. lie was fifty feet ahead. Washington, who had been using the breast stroke up to that time, then changed to a crawl stroke, lie crept up steadily on the leader and succeeded in pa* ing him in the last lap. When it was determined that Washing ton had won the spectators suddenly discovered that Blaine Fitzgerald had been swimming strong in the final lajis and crept up almost even with Bailey. To many of the spectators it appeared that Bailey and Fitzgerald had finished iti a dead heat, but the judges decided that Bailey was one stroke ahead and award id him second place. Frank Hartman was fourth and Carl Carrick was fifth. Carrick surprised even his warmest ad mirers by his work throughout the race, and he is likely lieu eforth to be recog nized as a dangerous competitor in any contest in which he enters. The relay race was also a spirited con test. Th > winning team was composed of Joseph Young. Thomas Monahan, Louis Ely and Richard Zappone. The imder-water swim created much in terest. and some of he spectators hefd their breath from excitement as long as th<> swimmers did from necessity. Jo seph Young proved the best in this con test, swimming the length of the pool , and 15 feet back, making a total distance of So feet. Clarence Bailey was second, making U5 feet, and Julian Worthington was third, with a distance just under 65 feet. "Tubby" Wins Again. "Tubby" Ryan maintained his position I las undisputed-holder of the championship I In the tub race. He easily finished first 1 in that event, going the entire distance i of i:so feet without shipping a drop of j wat r. Thpre are a number of young 1 sters, however, who are practicing daily. and intend to wrest the title from him next Saturday. When the contests had reached their most exciting point Supt'. Hudson was approach ;d by a very much excited lady. She wanted to know if a little red-head ed boy with freckles on his face and a rosebud mouth was among th swimmers. 1 Supt. Hudson nave one glance around ] the pool at the squirming mass of young sters in swimming tugs, and seemed to j see scores of boys who answered the de scription. The particular hoy uas finally identified by Hie visitor. H ? was in swimming tops and was intent upon en- , tering one of the afternoon contests, j When several of his companions vouched ' for Ids ability to win the race the lady j was persuaded to assent to him diving into the wat *r, and she afterward saw him give a good account of himself. She was pressed into service as one of the judges, and before she left was an en- ' thusiastic advocate of aquatic sports. Supt. Hudson explained afterward that had the boy not b?en entered in one of ; the races lie would have been ordered to dress and leave at once, and the disci pline is so well known at the beach that i such an order would have be^n obeyed by the boy without hesitation. Events for Colored Boys. George Pinkett and Herbert Myers were in charge of the colored pools at the beach and successfully conducted the first meet held for the colored boys under their, care.

Court of Inquiry Studying the Brownsville Case. The Brownsville court of inquiry is still struggling: with the several hundred thou sand words of the re cord of the investiga tion before the Senate military commit tee two years ago. Brig. Gen. John M. Wilson. 1*. S. A., retired, a member of the! court, has spent so many of his midnight hours iti the effort to master this mass of testimony that his .physician has warned him to take a rest, otherwise lie will break down his health. The indications now are that the court will make a journey to Brownsville early in the autumn before announcing a date on which it will listen to the oral testimony ; of the soldiers of the 2">th Infantry dis charged for alleged participation in the "shooting up" of Brownsville in August, 15*x;. It is not likely that the court will be called on to spend much time in hear ing new testimony, as there can be little to add to tiie voluminous record already giving its members so much toil night and day. Speed Laws to Be Enforced. Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of po lice, has directed members of his de partment to see to the enforcement of the speed laws relating to street cars. In an order yesterday afternoon it was stated that the executive officer of the District electric railway commission had com plained about the fa'Iure to enfrn-e ''r laws. Prosecutions, if any. will be filed i in the name of the interstate commerce j commission. 1 Woman Hurt in Strike Melee. PITTSBURG, August -1.?Following a quiot morning, trouble occurred this afternoon at the Pressed Steel Car works, McKees Rocks, resulting in the injury of a woman and state policeman. About ir.0 women hooted and jeered deputy sheriffs, who were at a restaur ant near the plant. Then they threw stones. State constabulary dispersed them, but not before one woman was struck on the back and another had kicked and seriously hurt an officer. Wins Nomination for Judge LINCOLN. Neb..

DROP IN CASES THIS MONTH i Number of Persons Under Observ ance Jumped in Spring. But Rapidly Fell Off. During the unusual spread of rabies through the District in the past two years three departments of the govern- j mont have had a.large amount of extra work thrown on them. The situation at the present moment is in about the sam" state as it was when the crusade against ownerless dogs was commenced in real earnest. The three departments ?most directly interested are the dog pound, the bureau of animal industry iy the Department of Agriculture and the special Pasteur laboratory, which has been established under the marine hospital service, in its new building at the foot of 25th street. Taking the records of a year ago, when the anti-dog crusade was at its height, to the present, when the pound force has been reduced and the muzzle law relaxed, it is seen that there is but Utile change in the status of the diseas?. In July a year ago there were eleven cases of possible rabies under treatment at the marine hospital laboratory. Dur- j ing the past month there were twelve, and the number has fluctuated almost regularly with the season during the j intervening time. The dogs captured by the District j poundkeeper have rapidly diminished, al though there are almost as many killed now as heretofore, though not so many are captured. In July of HtOS there were 1 dogs captured, and of these -lt>u were killed. During that month there were eleven cases under treatment at the ! hospital for protection against rabies. In the following month of August there were twenty cases under treatment, but twelve of these came from Panama, where there had been a similar outbreak, the patients being sent to Washington for treatment. There were 1,058 dogs captured in August of last year, and of these were killed. The next month there were, only x.VT captured and ?UK? killed, but the cases under treatment had Increased l."?. During the remainder of the year the cases under treatment ;?! the Murine Hospital laboratory gradually dwind'ed down from nine in November to s;x the following March. The number of dogs captuieu" also decreased to about per month. At this time '.he blizzard inter vened and three of ihc extra wagons which were In use at the pound were taken off duty and the money paid for them was spent in the repair of telephone and telegraph lines. The change did not have much a:>?arent effect on the number t?f dogs captured, being from 1200 to 10? a | month, nearly all of which were killed, j Apparently the surplus ol" dogs captured j was among the more aristocratic class of i animals, whose owners were willing to re- j deem them at the nrice of the tine itn- j posed by the District. Gradual Increase. Meantime from March, li*e months thirty such specimens were sent to the department, and twenty-two >>f them showed the genu of hydrophobia. Nearly all of these suspects were sent from the pound. Three were from Vir ginia. and of these one proved to be rabid. Both the pound and the bureau of ani mal industry would emphasize the ad visability of keeping a suspected dog alive and under observation, as it 's much easier in that way to deter mine whether or not he is really mad. The bureau of animal industry says also that it believes the present increase in cases of suspected rabies is due almo.-u entirely to the afcsence of the muzzle law. which allows dogs to run at larg** unrestrained. It is probable that an effort will !>?* made to have :i muzzle ordinance re-enacted this summer, and probably it will be continued in force for at least a year.
