them do not appear to worry regarding the con-
sequences.
THAT a policeman of Paterson, N. J., has gone on

efforts in the wee sma' hours discouraged by

THAT it has been suggested that the New York
publishers of popular music open joint offices in
Chicago, Boston and other cities and divide-the

(Spe'cial to The Review.)
MILWAUKEE, WIS., September 10.—The death of
Joseph Planner, music publisher of this city, whose
demise was mentioned in The 'Review last week,
marks the passing of one of the old-time publish-
ers and piano men. Those who were nearest to
Mr. Planner believe that his unfortunate bank-
ruptcy a few months ago caused him a great deal
of worry and indirectly brought about his sudden
death from heart trouble on September 10. When
Mr. Flanner came to Milwaukee twenty-two years
ago he brought with him $150,000, which he spent
in endeavoring to conduct a retail and publishing
business on a high plane and along the lines which
he believed to be right. During the years that he
had been in Milwaukee Mr. Flanner built up an
extensive music business and his name became a
familiar and respected one to music lovers of Wis-
consin. He retired from the piano business some
years ago, and until his failure devoted all his time
to the sheet music and musical merchandise
business.
Granados, the "Spanish Chopin," some of whose
fascinating piano pieces were played in New York
last season by Ernst Schelling, is becoming known
in Germany, too. Among others, the pianist Risler
has put his name on his programs. His works are
becoming more popular in America.
