W. M. McKenzie was stabbed
and killed during a dance at his

boisterous. McKenzie went to
some of them and asked them to
keep quiet. Becoming enraged
! at McKenzie’s request, some one
I blew out the lights and several
; pistol shots were fired, both inside ■
and outside the house. McKenzie
j went out on the porch where it
seems that he was attacked with
a knife and was fatally slashed in
several places about the neck. He
walked back into the house and

AGAIN ON DUTY AT
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Oldfield Returns to Washington
Where His Good Work in Con
gress is Commended by all
Congressman W. A. Oldfield left
Thursday night of last week for
Washington to resume his duties
in congress.
Before leaving for Washington,
Mr. Oldfield expressed himself to
The Journal as being deeply grate
ful to his many close friends for
the good work they did for him
during the campaign, and added
that his gratitude went out to the
entire people of the Second con
gressional district for their endor
sement of his record in congress.
It can be truthfully said of Mr.
Oldfield that he has lost less time
from his post of duty since he has
Deen congressman man any man
who ever represented this district
in that body, and that his good
wrork is attracting attention is
shown by the following article
published in the Apiil number of
the National Magazine.
“In the House Office building
the hearings before the Commit
tee on Patents continue wuthout
fireworks, though, involving mat
ters of vital import. While there
have been no disclosures, the
knotty and intricate problems con
sidered are of concern to every
householder in the country, not to
speak of every producer and man
ufacturer. Day after day the pro
posed changes in patent and copy
right law are deliberated upon,
broadening into international prob
lems. At the head of the table
Congressman Oldfield of Arkansas
presides, and sees to it that every
subject coming before his commit
tee is given a most exhaustive
examination from all points of
view.
“At a recent hearing the con
troversies involved in the Kahn
act were considered, with pros
pects of an amendment which wall
be agreeable to all concerned.This
act, prepared by Congressman
Kahn of California, was passed to
assist the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion in San Francisco, with little
thought that its interpretation
might imperil the privileges of
American manufactures or give
further advantages to foreigners
than those incorporated in the
tariff bill. The discussion it has
caused shows how essential it is to
have every bill in Congress
thoroughly studied by committees,
even before the caucus stage. A
committee composed of members
who are earnest in their work can
not fail to result in better digested
legislation, and the Committee on
Patents, making a specialty of the
most involved and intricate law
of the land, has an especially
strong personnel The chairman,
Congressman Oldfield, is regarded
as an expert in patent legislation,
and his recently introduced bill,
providing a National Design Reg
istration Law, is deemed to be the
most important measure framed
for a long time. The bill is con
cretely constructive, when it be
comes a law the name of W. A
Oldfield will be identified with a
measure of progressive legislation
which can be recognized as such
without a label.
“The essence of the bill provid
es that “the author of any design,
original, as embodied in orapplit d
to any manuafactured product of
-vA or . Awb >.
may register such design in the
United States Patent Office.” It
seems strange that such a provi
sion was not provided in years
p ist to protect Ame, ican inventb e
genius against wholesale imitation
and invasion.
“The new design .registration
act under the administration of
Commissioner Ewing: of the Pat
ent Office, will find a vigorous ex
cutive policy. Some day Congress
will provide suitable quarters for
the Patent Office, which perhaps
more than any other department
reflects the wonderful progress
and development of the country.
It is one of the most fascinating
offices at the capital, with its ar
ray of inventors’ models, as inter
esting as a rare museum collection.
Congressman Oldfield is to be con
gratulated on the work he has ac
complished on the Patent Commit
tee, in meeting urgent necessities
with thorough and exhaustive de
liberation. His home state may
well be proud of his achievements,
and there are friends who insist
that the time is not far distant
when this earnest Representative
will be promoted by his state to
the other end of the Capitol, to
sit in the seat of the mighty,
crowned with the senatorial toga.”
