theft. For some time suspicion had been enter-

slips. Finally, two of Shapiro's men holding re-
sponsible positions found that the man now ac-

had turned in a sales slip for only $8.10. The man
was arrested and sent to the Tombs to await
trial. He had been in Shapiro's employ nearly
as long as that publisher had been in the music
business. It is to be noted that such incidents
are at least possible in the offices of nearly all
publishers, where, in these days of rush to popu-
larize music, free-and-easy access to the shipping
rooms is had by the majority of employes, and
the giving of a "set of regulars," etc., is at the
discretion of various individuals.
