REVIEW
PROTECTION FORJTHE PUBLISHERS. CALLING PUBLIC ATTENTION TO CARUSO'S LOVE BALLAD.
Something of the United States Publishers'
Protective Association and the Man Back of
It—The Aims and Objects as Outlined.
Several of the local publishers- have received
during the past week a communication on the let-
ter-head of the United States Publishers' Protec-
tive Association, 2tJl Broadway, New York, to the
effect that the association was formed for the
benefit of the music publisher and music dealer
and that membership, including all privileges,
might be had upon payment of $25 annually. The
letter failed to give details as to just what the
publisher was going to receive for his $25.
Inquiries at 201 Broadway developed the fact
that the United States Publishers' Protective As-
sociation exists chiefly in the person of M. R.
Macklin, a certified public accountant and head of
the Macklin Audit Co.
"We aini to protect the members of the asso-
ciation from unscrupulous dealers and fly-by-night
concerns who obtain rnusic in quantities and then
fail to pay for it,' said Mr. Macklin. "Only
music publishing houses of recognized standing
will be admitted to membership, and we hope to
extend the scope of the association work to a
point where other trade evils may be remedied.
"We have already enrolled several prominent
houses and when the movement grows and really
gets under way it is planned to turn the manage-
ment of the association over to the publishers
themselves."
In view of the general .feeling of friendliness
that prevails among certain prominent publisher.-*
and their natural inclination to aid each other in
such little matters as credits, as evidenced in tlu
work of the Music Publishers' Association of the
United States, the progress of the new movement
will bear watching.

The accompanying illustration shows OIK* of the
means adopted by Leo Feist for calling the atten-
tion of the public on Broadway and vicinity to
Caruso's "$10,000 Love Ballad," his "Dreams of
Long Ago" and the fact that the song was being
sung in "The Million" at the Manhattan Opera
House. A calliope was placed in the wagon and

F'ollowing the recent tour of burglars through
the music publishing section in the vicinity ol
'62d street and the securing of spoils amounting in
all to $2 worth of stamps and a box of candy from
four robberies, it is refreshing to note that there
are music publishers with real money in their
safes. Cracksmen entered the premises of the
William N. Delaney Music Co., 117 Park Row,
on Saturday last and by blowing the safe secured
possession of money and jewelry variously esti-
mated at from $500 to $700. The Delaney Music-
Co, makes a specialty of cheap song books con-
taining the words of the various popular songs
without music.

Recent Additions to the Attractive Teaching
Catalog of the Whitney-Warner Co.—Proving
Very Popular with Teachers and the Trade.
The Whitney-Warner Co.'s edition of teaching
music, which has met with a cordial reception on
the part of the dealers and the teachers on ac-
count of the high quality of the music offered
and the attractive manner in which it is presented,
is being constantly strengthened by the addition
of new numbers by composers of recognized abil-
ity. Among the recent additions to the Whitney-
the "engineer" kept it going almost continuously
playing over the chorus of the song. When the
instrument, was in full blast with a strong head
of steam behind it pedestrians were under the im-
pression that the circus parade was coming, and
when the wagon with its signs passed attention
was undivided.

liant piano solo by Dorma St. John; "Dance of
