BAD NEWS_FOR DEBTORS.
Creditors Can Send Duns on Postal Cards, Says
Federal Judge.
(Special to The Review.)
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 9, 1912.
The right of an individual or a corporation to
send "duns" through the mails in the form of
postal cards was upheld here to-day by Judge
Charles P. Orr in the United States District Court.
He granted an injunction ordering Postmaster W.
H. Davis to deliver. certain postal card bills sent
out daily by the Allegheny County Light Co.
In its complaint the company set forth that the
cards, designated as unmailable matter, have been
returned by Postmaster Davis. Mr. Davis asserts
that they come under the ruling of the Postoffice
Department as "dunning cards." He says the cards
have on them terms of a nature reflecting on the
character of the person to whom they are ad-
dressed. He will appeal the case. *

Within the confines of the American metrop-

old Father Knickerbocker is justly proud; but

popularity and is now attracting the attention of
the music trade to an unusual degree is the
