THE COPYRIGHT CONFERENCE.
COUCHOIS FOUND GUILTY
Tentative Copy of the New Copyright Bill Sub-
mitted by Register Solberg—Some of Its
Provisions—Music Publishers Take Action.
No formal programme has been arranged for
the copyright conference to be held at the City
Club, New York, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day of next week. Mr. Solberg, register of copy-
rights, has transmitted to each of the participat-
ing bodies a tentative copy of the proposed copy-
right bill, requesting suggestions and criticisms.
The copyright principle has been retained in the
new bill, but it has been amplified, improved,
broadened and brought down to embody modern
conditions, and a violation is made a criminal
offense. The text of the bill covers seven printed
pages, and the individual interests are taken care
of in separate sections to avoid complications,
confusions and misleading interpretations. The
following bodies will be represented at the meet-
ings:
Librarian of Congress, Herbert Putnam; Reg-
ister of Copyrights, Thorvald Solberg; Treasury
Department, Charles P. Montgomery; Music Pub-
lishers' Association of the United States; Amer-

Of
Counterfeiting Music on Charge of Carl
Fischer—Sentenced to Prison and Fined.
Garrett J. Couchois, whose name has been be-
fore the trade for a couple of months as impli-
cated in the counterfeiting of music, was found
guilty Tuesday in the court of Special Sessions,
New York. The specific charge in this case was
that of printing and selling "Hearts and Flow-
ers," in which Carl Fischer, publisher, was the
complainant. Briefs had been submitted by the
District Attorney and Nathan Burkan, for the
people, and Cantwell & Moore for the defendant.
No oral argument followed, but when the case
was called Couchois was declared guilty by the
full bench of violating that section of the Penal
Code dealing with the use of a man's name, trade
device or mark without the owner's consent. The
prisoner was sentenced the following day to serve
a term of thirty days in jail and pay a fine of
$350. The court, in passing sentence, took into
consideration that Couchois had been in prison
over a month pending the trial. The other
cases against the defendant will be held in abey-
ance until the foregoing mandate of the court is
fulfilled.
Wednesday last Couchois was released on bail
in the above suit, but on Saturday was arrested
again and locked up on complaint of the F. B.
Haviland Publishing Co., charged with pirating
their song, "Blue Bell." He was held in $1,000
bail.
THE REMICK PRINTS POPULAR.
Clarice Vance, whose clever rendition of coon
songs has made her famous, has introduced the
new novelty coon song, "Sympathy," by Kendis
& Paley, and published by Jerome H. Remick &
Co. This song, while only in its third week, is
already a popular hit.
The Spook Minstrels, now appearing on the
Orpheum circuit, have found that Williams & Van
Alstyne's new ballad, "In Dear Old Georgia," has
received greater applause than any other ballad
they have ever used.
Katherine Nelson, playing the soubrette part in
"The Office Boy," introduces Jerome & Schwartz's
clever song, "My Irish Molly O," and reports that
it is the biggest encore winner she has ever used.
In the "Catch of the Season," a new song by
W. T. Francis, entitled "Auf Wiedersohn," has
been introduced by Talleur Andrews. Another
song, "Rainbow," which is part of the English
production, is also in rehearsal here. This song
was advertised abroad on postals, that if held up
to the light, show a beautiful rainbow.
