STEAL OF PATENT
A
Man Who Invented Hydroplane Wins
Out After Fight In the Courts
Lasting Years.
NEW YORK, March 11—Albert S.
Janln, a cabinet maker living on
Staten Island, who has been consid
ered as mentally unbalanced for the
past fifteen years because he claim
ed to be the first inventor of the hy
droplane, has been vindicated by the
courts upholding his claim.
Janin’s neighbors who formerly re
garded him as a “bug” are now vy
ing with each other to do him hon
or. He will receive a comfortable
Income from the royalties on the ma
chines. One order was recently re
ceived by the factory which attempt
ed to steal Janin’s patent from a bel
ligerent power in Europe. The cor
poration which had been formed to
manufacture the hydroplanes kept the
matter before the courts for several
years in the hope of wearing Janin
to a point where he could no longer
fight them.
