|Vermonters Deal In Black Market

Boston, April 26.-tUP)-Black market dealings in maple syrup be- tween Vermont farmers and out- of-state perSons-the majority from Ne WYork-are being watched very closely" the OPA said today.
 A spokesman said the syrup is being sold on 6 shipment basis at Q black market price of about $6 c gallon or 9i.6l over the ceiling price. He said 1t was an excellent black market commodity" because the crop was very short this year.
 Last year, between 200 and 300 Vermont farmers were penalized for similar activities, he said.

 Representative Talbot charged the Administration with making slaves of the people through Q program of wild spending, and said that subs sides are actually creating Q hidden imitation.

 The first literary pirate was Q Greek named Onomacritus. He took the prophecies of the oracles and did them over to his advantage He wasn't very clever though; he was caught in the act and dis credited.
 One of the most tragic of literary forReries was the case of Thomas Chatterton, who at 16 wrote some wonderful poems but attributed them to a monk, Thomas Rowley, and they were accepted as such Historians to this day don't know why he did 1t since his was one of the great, original talents of his time. Chattertown committed Sut- eide atthe age of eighteen.
 RoStand's "Cyrano de Bergerac' was sued as @ steal from Samuel Eberly Gross "The Merchant Prince of Cornville." The court ruled in Chicago that the play couldn't be given in the State. New York courts upheld Rostand. Thus the author was 8 plagiarist in Illinois but not tn New York.
 A caseof imitation, If not plagi- arism, was perpetrated by 8 Cher man named Groeber who toured the Vaterland under the name of Char lie Chaplin. Hauled into court, he claimed that the audiences couldn't tell the difference between him and the original and that he had as much right to the name as anybody else, The court upheld him. He also claimed many picture circulating in Germany with Charlie Chaplin were in reality his productions.
 Sterne created Q wonderful char Acter in his "Tristram Shandy' but didn't know what to put in his mouth. So he aug into discarded work of the previous century, Bur- tons Anatomy of Melancholy" and provided his brain child with many conversational. gems. When this was discovered Anatomy" became enor- mously popular. A sidelight on this bit of cerfing was that he even inc cluded Q line condemning the sin of plagiarism.

Cpl. VIM. Seabrook, also of the 10th

to Charleston from China with Cpl.

the conductor asked the two to leave

as remarking, ''if this train had an
other coach, all of us wouldn't have
to stand on the platform; there'd
be seats"
A civilian officer, later joined by
Mps, took the veteran from the train

DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 (ANP)
"A second investigation into the
mysterious death of Cornelius
(Corny) johnson, Americas 1886
Olympic high-jump champion, is
scheduled to be launched within a
few days by pathologists and toxi-
cologists. An unsuccessful attempt
to determine the cause of the
famous 32-year-old athletes death
was made by the San Francisco
coroner's office following his sud-
den and mysterious passing on
February 16.
Johnson, veteran of three years
service in the merchant marine and
a chief baker aboard the S. S. San
ia Cruz, Grace Line steamship, was
taken off the ship by police as it
docked in San Francisco with l, 100
soldiers after jumping around
wildly on the ships deck. Police en-
countered considerable difficulty in
subduing Johnson in order to re-
move him to the ambulance, they
reported. He died en- route to the
harbor emergency hospital.
His death occurred under mys-
terious and unknown circum-
tances," his sister, Mrs. Ruby
Braxton said. His brother, Theo-
dore Johnson, said the famed ath-
lete has sailed "all around the
world" He spent five days in life
boat after his ship had been tor
pedoed in the Atlantic on his third
voyage.
Johnson developed his jumping
form and competitive spirit while
a student at high school here. He
became the only high school athlete
in 1882 to ever be named to U. S
Olympic team, and paced fourth ir
the event that year. Johnson actu
ally leaped as high as the eventua
winners but was relegated tt

the four who had tied for first
place honors.

here in February Of 1884, he en-
rolled at Compton junior college
and won his greatest fame there.
He shared the National Amateur
Athletic union high-jump title with
Walter Marty of the Olympic club
of San Francisco that year, re-
peating triumphs in the national
event in which he had scored the
previous year when he was undis-
puted American champion and in
1882. He shared the title with
George Spitz of the New York Ath-
letic club and Robert Van Osdel of
the University of Southern Cali
fornia in 1882.
Johnson met and shook hands
with Premier Benito Mussolini of
Italy at Milan, while on a tour of
Europe with other AAU champions
in 1884. He repeated his AAU vic
tories the following year. A new
world high-jump record Of 6 feet
934 inches was set by Johnson and
Dave .Albritton during Olympic
tryouts at Randall island, New
York. During the Berlin Olympic
games, Americas formidable high
jump team comprised Johnson, AL
britton and Mel Walker, the latter
two from Ohio State. They out

field. In the jumpoff among them
