tie. Presuming that the facts as set forth in
the inquiry can be clearly substantiated we think
that not only could the pirated marks be re-
moved from the register, but the royalty of 10
per cent, alluded to be recovered from the per-
sons or firm who imposed it. Of course it is
evident that in order to place the complainant in
its proper position it ought at once to apply for
registration of its mark in the Commonwealth
and if needful in New Zealand also. If they sent
a short power of attorney authorizing some per-
son here to apply on their behalf the business
could be at once taken in hand.
ESTEY PIPE ORGAN FOR READING CHURCH
The Estey Organ Co., Brattleboro, Vt., have
been awarded the contract for a $3,000 pipe organ
to be installed in the Alsace Reformed Church,
Reading, Pa. It is expected that the organ will
be ready by April 15, and will be put in the
new building now being erected for the church.

(Special to The Review.)
Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 3, 1908.
James A. Bell, manager of the Harrisburg
Board of Trade, is endeavoring to bring to this
city the Hope-Jones Organ Co., of Elmira, N. Y.
The president of the company desires a better
location, and is said to think favorably of this
city.
MEIKLEJOHN CO.'S BIG HONOR.
The Pawtucket (R. I.) Times recently pub-
lished a report to the effect that the Meiklejohn
Co., of that city, had won the first prize offered
by Kranich & Bach, New York, for the largest
proportionate increase in the sales of Kranich &
Bach pianos during 1907 over those for 1906.
REVENUE AGENT IS RESTRAINED.
The various New Orleans piano houses doing
business in Mississippi, who were assessed for
thousands of dollars in back taxes by the State
revenue agent of the latter State, have been
granted a temporary injunction by the Federal
Court restraining the revenue agent from further
enforcing his claims.
ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
The man who was arrested last week on the
charge of attempting to pass a forged check for
$300 on the M. Steinert & Sons Co., of New
Haven, Conn., is said by the police authorities
of New York, Boston and Providence to be the
man they are seeking on the charge of passing
several fraudulent money orders in these cities.
It is said that the man arrested has confessed to
the New Haven police that he stole blank money
orders in New York, Boston and other cities.
Consul-General John P. Bray, of Melbourne, in
response to a Vermont inquiry regarding the
trade-mark law of Australia, sends the following
statement, furnished by a firm of patent attor-
neys there:
"With regard to patent laws in Australia, no
one can lawfully apply for or obtain a Common-
wealth patent unless he is either the inventor
or can trace his authority from the inventor.

for the first introducer of an invention (whether
he were the inventor or not) to apply for and
obtain a valid patent for an invention, but that
is not the case now.
"The only person entitled to apply for and ob-
tain registration of a trademark in the Common-

not his agent. We are aware that it has been

if the owners have substantial evidence of owner-

registrant to cancel his registration, and in de-
