[Hipple was his source of information] Notes that Mr. Rathenau (President of German Co.) wants "rights" for producing these lamps. ## Reports that, according to Charles Siemens, Edison Co "has given up the manufacture of the inner pipe conductors. 'Dispute" between Rathenau and Siemens ongoing. TAE marg reverse last page: "Mr Foote moves that the question be referred to Mr Batchelor & Mr Siegel because power canceled"
