SENATE WOULD DROP
VOCATIONAL, BOARD
Amendment to Sweet Bill Problem
Soon to Be Tackled by
Conferees.

When the conferees on the Sweet bill
for the Coordination Of government
agencies dealing with the veterans
of the world war meet they will have
before. them an amendment adopted
by the Senate which would do away
with the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. The House merely pro-
posed that the division Of rehabilita-
tioh of veterans of the federal board
should be transferred, but the Senate
abolished the board entirely, trans
fering all its functions to the director
of the veterans bureau established
under the Sweet bill.
The Board for Vocational Education
was created before the war legisla-
ton for aid of disabled veterans. Its
functions were to aid in vocational
training of the boys and girls and
men and women Of the country,
through the states. and also to help
I'm the matter Of home economies.
Opponents Of the Senate amendment
point cut that IL the board is abolish
ed, as proposed, all the work Of voca-
tional training will be turned over to
the veterans bureau, where 1t has no
real place. They fear that it will be
allowed to languish. since the first
care Of the bureau will, Of course, be
the war veterans.
The women who have been interest
ed in seeing the government give aid
in the matter of home economies
training are much opposed to the
Senate amendment.

By the Associated Press.

SOUTHAMPTON. July 26.-After
a battle lasting more than twelve
hours the flames on board the Gu
harder Mauretania, which broke out
as she was lying at her pier here
yesterday afternoon, were finally
conquered by the firemen early to-
day, but not before the interior of
the mammoth liner presented a
sorry spectacle from Are and
water.
The damage is not so extensive as
was feared at first. but it Is serious
enough, and considerable time will
be required to put the big vessel
into shape. Meanwhile the pas
sengers booked to sail on the
Mauretania will be transferred to
other ships. No estimate of the
damage in money is possible as yet.
The fire originated in first-class
cabin on the starboard side of the
E deck, and fifty cabins on that
deck. extending across the ship
and forward of the engineroom
bulkhead for eighty feet. were de-
stroyed. The flooring of the main
saloon on the D deck was badly
. burned and buckled. The priceless
carved wood paneling in the sa-
loon, for which the Mauretania was
famous, is untouched, except for a
few scorched places. The flooring
of the upper saloon on the deck
was severely damaged, while the
woodwork around the funnel cas-
ings between the A and e decks
was completely burned.

The court, of appeals of the state
Of New York has handed down de-
cision which sustains in all respects
the rights Of the artist Bud Fisher to

been in progress both in It's United
States and In En=lazd for seveSal
years. Tae great popularity of the
two famous characters, Mutt and Jen,
has caused a number ofTother artists
and newspapers both in the United
them. Some time ago the high court
Of justice of England decided that
the right to draw and publish Mutt
and Jefk' cartoons belongs exclusive
ly to Mr.. Fisher.
The opinion in the case Just decided
before the case was decided.
Judge Chase's opinion Is In part as
follows:
TT appears from the findings Of
fact that the grotesaue figures IN Mr.
names Mutt and Jen'. applied to
them. have. in consequence Of the way
in which they have, been. exploited
by Mr.. Fisher and the appearance and
assumed characters Of the imaginary
figures that have been maintained, ac-
quired meaning apart from their
primary meaning. which is known as
a secondary meaning. The secondary
meaning that is applicable to the hg-
ures and the names Is that Mr.. FISHER
originated them and that his genius
pervades all that they appear to do
or say.
ut also appears from the findings
Of fact that Mr.. Fisher is the owner
of the property right existing In the
characters represented in such hg-
ures and names. They are OF his
creafion
'IThe figures and names have been
so connected with Mr.. Fisher as their
originator or author that the use by
another Of new cartoons exploiting
the characters Mutt, and Jen would
be unfair to the public and to the
plaintiff. No person should be permitted
to pass of as his own the thoughts and
| works OF another.
""The only purpose that another
than Mr. Fisher can have in using the
figures or names Of Mutt and Jeg
| is to appropriate the financial value
, that such figures and names haye
acquired by reason Of the skill OF
| Mr.. Fisher" q.

tons the claim Of John Foreman, who
has been engaged as professional to the

Harrisburg correspondent who sent
abroad a bit OF news to the effect that
Foreman was a lneal descendant OF
Alexande er Selkirk, immoralized by Dan
iel Defoe just 1O2 years ago as Rob-in-
son Crusoe. 1t IL not that the Moores-
town linksman has any desire to critl-
else the authenticity OF the claim, but II
would seem that in some of his des-
patches the correspondence in question
made Foreman great-great grandson
or the boss OF man Friday and the
friendly parrot.
"Since Defoe died in 1871. according
tu the best information" says this lit
erary sharp. "either the reports Of De-
foes death were greatly exaggerated or
he was at the tender age OF los when
hc wrote Robinson Crusoe' (having
been born in 166i). or else Mr.. Fore
