"I believe Mr. O'Connor should be given a send-
off by the publishers when he arrives in New
York within a week or so. Your great compos-
ers, like Sousa, Herbert, De Koven, etc., not to
mention the writers of popular music, will be
greatly benefited by our new copyright act, and
I believe pirating will cease automatically. The
exemption of perforated music roles and talking
machine records from the operation of the act
was done designedly. It was a controversy we
did not care to enter upon at this time, with the
chances the fate of the bill might be endangered.
Personally, I know very little of this phase of
the matter, but our publishers will depend upon
future legislation to accomplish their intentions
in this direction. We are not altogether through
—about half-way. I will probably stay here
about a month."

tention and treatment of every one is their motto.
"Sweet Anastasia Brady" and "Float Me,
Charlie," Jerome and Schwartz's latest, are in big
demand at the summer resorts, and being un-
