M. Witmark & Sons have issued a warning to.
the trade regarding alleged plans to infringe their
rights of publishers of "Mother Machree," one of
the successful Irish ballads by Chauncey Olcott
and Ernest R. Ball. No special charges are made,
however, in connection with the warning. There
has been at least one song placed on the market
with the name "Mother Machree" as part of the
lyric, although the melo.dy and general character
of the song is unlike the Witmark number. Con-
sidering the manner in which certain other popular
songs have been imitated the publishers of "Mother
Machree" might consider themselves fortunate.
