BOND STATES RULING IN LIQUOR TRIAL Judge . William A. Bond, of the Wayne circuit court, ruled that the general reputation of a house could be proved in a trial the purpose of which was to prove a house a resort

and a common nuisance, parts or which were being used for the purpose of drinking intoxicating liquor. The point came to issue in the trial of James Coff who is charged with keeping such a house, as stated in the affidavit. Attorney Lindemuth, appearing for the defendant, took exception to the

ruling and laid foundation for an appeal in case Coff is convicted. The trial was continued Thursday. Character witnesses were introduced by the defense to show the general reputation of Ruth Phenis, prosecuting witness. It was thought that the case probably would be given the jury Thursday evening, although several witnesses have not been examined. Trial of the Coff case continued until a late hour Thursday and indications were that three other cases scheduled to follow the Coff trial, those of Fred Knuckle, Henry Dessler and Frank Seymour, would not be started until Friday.

(By Associated Press) TORONTO, Jan. 13. When the three American balloonlsts Lieutenants Kloor, Farrell and Hinton arrive here by rail late today from Mattice, they will be welcomed at the railroad station by Controller Maguire, on behalf of the city, and a delegation from the aero club of Canada. The program of entertainment calls for an informal reception at the Aero club headquarters, the banquet having been called off on account of the altercation - between Farrell and Hinton, at Mattice, upon their arrival there after their - perilous flight into the wilds of the Hudson Bay region. There was no disposition of the club to pass judgment on the incident, but it V'as deemed advisable to avoid the possibility of an awkward situation. The airmen will be guests of the club until their departure for their homes. They are expected to reach Rockaway on Friday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Report3 that the Great Lakes Naval Training

station was to be abandoned were de

nied today by Rear Admiral Washing

ton, chief of the bureau of navigation Admiral Washington said that next to the great fleet base at Hampton Roads, the Great Lakes station was regarded as the most important post the navy has. CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Persistent rumors that the navy department intends to abandon the Great Lakes Naval training station at Lake Bluff, 111., the largest of its kind in the world were partially confirmed, officials there said today, when 550 civilian employes were notified they would be discharged next Saturday night. The employes received word from Luther O. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal employes, that "the navy plans to abandon Great Lakes on June 30 as part of a program of retrenchment." Retain Fire Department. The station's power plant and fire department are operated by the men who are slated for discharge, officers at the post said, and 27 civilians will be retained in the fire department to protect the buildings which are valued at $500,000. Admiral Washington, in direct charge of the naval training stations, at Washington, wired officers at Great Lakes that there are sufficient funds :o operate. the stations until June 30, but after that date it would be up to -ongress. He expressed the opinion, however, that funds would be provided. Commander Denies Knowledge. Captain Daniel W. Wurtzbaugh. commandant at Great Lakes, said he knew nothing of the plan to abandon the station. Mr. Steward's telegram said Great Lakes would not be the only station lo be affected by the program of retrenchment, but that after July 1, there will be only two naval stations

maintained in the country, one at Hampton Foads, and one at San Fran- , Cisco. The Great Lakes training station appropriation was cut by the last congress from $1,250,000 in 1919, to $500.000 in 1920, according to Captain Wurtzbaugh. At present there are fourteen thousand enlisted men there. Two trade schools, the aviation and radio, have an. enrollment of six thousand with facilities and equipment .that cannot be duplicated except by enormous expense. Captain Wurtzbaugh says.

Starr Piano Company Denies Infringements INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 13. Denial of violation of the patents on player pianos owned by the Auto Pneumatic company of New York city and an assertion that the patent owned by the company is invalid, was the gist of the answer filed in Federal court Wednesday by the Starr Piano company of Richmond, in the suit for infringment of patent brought against it several weeks ago by the New York concern. The complaint filed by the Auto Pneumatic company charged the Starr company with infringment of what is known as the Thomas Danquard patent, taken out in 1903 and asks an accounting and an injunction against the defendant to compel it to cease the manufacture of the player pianos now manufactured by it. The Starr Piano company, in its answer, sets forth that the patent in question is of no value because the subject matter of it was in general use and was generally known prior to the date on which Danquard took out his patent. Furthermore, it is averred that it required no invention, but only ordinary mechanical skill to produce the device of the alleged patent.
