EXPERTS LEAVE
patent OFFICE
Attorney Charges Poor Pay
Causes Many Valuable
Men to Resign.

The fact that many of the most
expert and valuable oficiaIs of the
Patent once have resigned within
the last few years because of the
meager salaries paid. was developed
at hearing before the House Com
mittee on. Patents yesterday.
Frederick B. Fish. a well-known
patent attorney. testified that the
salary situation in the once lis
scandalous and disgraceful."
u, The committee had under con-
sideration three bills providing for
a reorganization of the Patent once
and a change in its jurisdiction. One
measure proposes to make it a gov
ernment establishment. separated
from the Interior Department or
any other executive branch. An
other bill proposes a general in
crease of salaries. still another the
establishment of a patent court OF
appeals.
Mr.. Fish contended IL the Patent
once is permitted to use the profit
it is now making. the establishment
can be made a life work with in
creased efficiency and adequate pay
for the expert employees. He re-
ferred to the special training need
ed by those employed in the patent
service and the ridiculously low SAL
aries they receive. Mr.. Fish rep
resents a special committee OF the
National Research Council. which
organization favors the enactment
of all three bills.

dress he is to deliver today to the
Senate.
1t is now in the hands of the
printer and rumor had 1t that the
President. much impressed with the
warmth of the welcome he received
yesterday from his fellow country
men. occupied himself yesterday by
adding a few punchy phrases to the
state paper.
Two weeks is now set as the
limit of the Presidents stay in the
Capital: then he will take the
stump on behalf of the peace
treaty and the covenant of the
league of nations. His itinerary
remains a secret simply because he
has not yet accepted any of the re-
quests for his presence which have
poured into the White House.
viii Review Fleet.

cases. arrests without warrant. are
protested by colored residents of
Washington who have suffered through
over-zealous efforts Of the police in
the hunt for the negro fiend who has
assaulted and terrorized women in
the outlying districts of the city.
While willing to do all in their
power to assist in the capture Of the
criminal. colored residents of this city
are becoming angry at the methods
Of the police in conducting the search

taken in territory settled largely by
colored people.
Women Are Warned.
Women have been warned to keep

8 Truck-Loads
OF Peace Data
To Back Wilson

President Wilson did
something else while in Eu-
rope beside posing for the
movies" and looking on
while people cheered him.
Three big army trucks
filed with documents and
papers relating to the Peace
Conference were unloaded
yesterday afternoon at; The
White House. Immediate
ly a small army of clerks
went to work to sort out
the huge piles of tied-up
papers and documents and
put them in files.
President Wilson does
not intend to be "stumped"
when it comes to data re-
lating to the league of ma
tons. When any Senator,
or anyone else worth while
wants to argue the why and
wherefore of the league or
any other subject of the
Peace Conference, all the
President has to do is to
push a button and the ar
gument is settled.
In other words, the Peace
Conference, insofar as
America is affected, has
been moved bodily to
America.
