SUIT OVER SNOW Won BUELoW.
Berlin Court Decides Stone Masons
Created WORK of Art.
From a Tribune Correspondent.

Berlin. March 4.-The former Charce iior

roles. but that he would come to play the
part of q snow man. and IN that character
give rise to litigation, he probably never
dreamed OF. In Berlin court. however.
the question has Just been decided afirna-
lively whether or not a snow chancellor
was a work OF art.
Some time ago several Enemploye ed
"sculptors" erected statue OF the prince
in courtyard out OF snow An employee OF
a firm of photographers happening To pass
asked for and obtained the permission Of
the artists 20 photograph the snow prince
for Illustrated periodical. The creators
OF the snow Image. who. although calling
themselves sculp,ors. are really only stone
maSons, must have been advised that there
might possibly he some money in the re-
production OF the snow image. for the fol
lowing day one az them called st the office
OF the illustrated newspaper. declaring That
he wished TO withdraw the permission of
making copies OF the snow image
AS the picture. however. had been electro
typed. the publisher offered the sculptor"
a fee of 90 marks. which. however was
declined. Nevertheless. copies were printed
and sold. A presumably higher offer Of
other publishers was accepted and the pict-
ures were pu; in circulation by them also.
On behalf of the scuiptors suits were subse-
duently brought in a criminal court against
the original photogra pliers under the clause
Of the law forbidding the unauthorized re-
production Of works OF art. either photo
graphically or otherwise. The question
whether or not snow man could be re-
saSded as work OF art the states attor-
Fey held as having been proved In the af
firmative. and ne moved for fine of -
marks.
The plaintiffs attorney even wanted .
fine OF 30 marks imposed. The court. how
ever. decided that, since the sculptors had
nrst given permission to photograph their
production, an acauittal OF the defendants
