Leandar J. DeBekker Brings Action Against
Several Publishing Houses, Alleging That His
Copyrights Have Been Infringed
Leandar J. DeBekker, musical writer and au-
thor, of Brooklyn, and author and owner of the
copyright for the literary composition known
as "Stokes Encyclopedia of Music and Musi-
cians," brought suit in the United States Dis-
trict Court last week for an injunction and in-
fringement against the Frederick A. Stokes Co.,
the University Society, Inc., and the National
Academy of Music, Inc.
Without knowledge or consent, DeBekker
states, on October 5, 1910, the Frederick A.
Stokes Co. entered into a contract with the Uni-
versity Society, Inc., under which parts of his
works were copyrighted and sold as the "Stand-
ard Musical Encyclopedia" and the "Univer-
sity Musical Encyclopedia."
He alleged that the University Society, Inc.,
used his work in its entirety, and caused it to
appear as the work of Louis C. Elson, who was
designated editor in chief of the work. De-
Bekker asks that the defendants be enjoined
from publishing or selling the encyclopedia.

KARCZAG PROFESSIONAL MANAGER
Jack Robbins in Charge of New Studio Opened
by Karczag Publishing Co.
The Karczag Pub. Co., Inc., have appointed
Jack v Robbins manager of their professional
studio at 62 West Forty-fifth street, New York.
Mr. Robbins has in the past been connected
with some of the largest publishers of high class
and semi-high class music, and is well qualified
for his new position. The offices of the com-
pany on the seventh floor have been entirely re-
arranged, giving the professional department a
very convenient location. The heavy demand
for Otto Motzan's "A Tear, a Kiss, a Smile,"
necessitated the above additions and changes.
R. L. Huntzinger, of Huntzinger & Dilwarth,
music publishers, left the early part of this week
on a trip through the Middle West, visiting the
trade in that section. Mr. Huntzinger expects to
be gone five weeks and will go as far West as
Salt Lake City.
