Al. D. Feldman, indicted with Augustus H.
Sullivan on a music piracy charge of marketing
spurious copies of "Whispering" and "Humming,"
was fined $300 in Boston on the first-named
charge and $50 for conspiracy. The fines were
paid.
Sullivan, whose sentence has been deferred
awaiting a confession, will he sentenced shortly.
Sullivan made a false confession at one time.
His second confession is now being checked up
and if found correct will implicate four others
as being connected with the Boston music piracy
deal.
Feldman was held on the charge of actually
selling the spurious sheet music and Sullivan as
having had active charge of arranging for the
manufacture thereof.
It is understood that the Government, with the
encouragement of the Music Publishers' Pro-
tective Association in its campaign against piracy
in the Boston district, will shortly file a series of
new indictments.
R. L. Huntzinger, of the firm of Huntzinger &
Dilworth, Inc., announces the change of name of
that organization to R. L. Huntzinger, Inc. This
is one of the best-known of the younger standard
publishing firms and has made exceptional prog-
ress during the past six years.
According to Mr. Huntzinger, the business in-
creased over 30 per cent during the past year, and
all indications point to a constant enlargement of
its activities. The company confines its activi-
ties to the issuance of songs and for this it is
becoming well and favorably known.
Orville Harrold, well-known concert artist and
Metropolitan opera star, recently recorded one
of the firm's numbers for the Victor records. It
was entitled "The Living God," by Geoffrey
O'Hara.
PEORIA, I I I . , May 26.—A music section in every
public library in the United States is the joint aim
of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and
the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Both
federations have created a department of library
extension, with Mrs. James H. Hirsch, of Or-
lando, Fla., as chairman. Mrs. Hirsch said the
proposed music section would prove valuable in
making available information on music to those
desiring it.
The committee working with Mrs. Hirsch in-
cludes: Mrs. J. LaLacey Harper, Yuma, Ariz.;
Mrs. Franklin W. Cochens, Salida, Co.; Mrs. J.
C. Hancock, Stuart, Fla.; Mrs. Iola Bishop, Sav-
annah, Ga.; Mrs. Frank Cowles, Crawfords-
ville, Ind.; Mrs. Jacob Van De Zee, Iowa City,
la.; Mrs. Gordon Kingsbury, St. Clair, Mich.;
Mrs. Clara N. Stefflers, Brookhaven, Miss.; Mrs.

Fargo, N. D.; Miss Leonora Lewis, Pierre, S. D.;
Mrs. Henry Stone, Christiansburg, Va.; Mrs.
Anna V. Bassette, Edmonds, Wash.; Miss Edith
Ruddock, Manitowoc, W's.
"MY HONEY'S LOVIN' ARMS" A HIT
According to the latest announcement of the
sales department of Fred Fisher, Inc., "My
Honey's Lovin' Arms," by Joe Meyers, is the
outstanding success of that firm's catalog. The
number is proving particularly popular as a dance.
Mr. Meyers recently left for Chicago on a West-
ern trade trip.
WILL RELEASE TWO NEW NUMBERS
Sherman. Clay & Co. will release early in the
Fall a novelty number entitled '"The Sneak" and
a ballad entitled "I Wish I Knew."
BROADCASTS^ISLE OF ZORDA"
Nathan Glantz, the well-known "Laughing
Saxophonist," broadcasted several times last week
the S. C. Caine, Inc., number, "Isle of Zorda,"
from the Bedloe Island Radio Station. "Isle of
Zorda" is the number released in conjunction with
the Pathe photoplay bearing the same name. Bob
Schaeffer, the well-known songwriter and vaude-
ville artist, featured the number in several of the
Loew New York theatres last week in conjunc-
tion with colored novelty illustrations.
NOW THE "WINDY CITY BLUES"
Don Berlin, Jimmy Hudson and Charley Ray-
mond are the writers of a new number entitled
"Windy City Blues." It is understood that sev-
eral publishers have made offers to the writers
for the publishing rights.
DALLAS PUBLISHERS REORGANIZE
The firm of Krause, Mars & Co., of Dallas, Tex.,
recently underwent a reorganization. It is now
incorporated under the laws of Texas and the
firm name has been changed to Al Mars, Inc. Al
Mars, C. Krause and Robert A. Webb are the
officers of the company. The new firm has just
released a fox-trot entitled "Jap A Lac," and will
continue to publish the success "After the
Clouds."

Max Alexander, a pupil of Edward Manning,
who is totally blind, is the composer of a series
of piano numbers entitled "Every Child," which
G. Schirmer, Inc., is publishing. These are re-
markably clever compositions carrying novelty
titles, and, considering the affliction of the writer,
should receive every encouragement. The fact
that they are particularly meritorious should add
considerably to their sales.
Al Sherman, Sam Coslow and Irving Mills re-
cently wrote a song entitled "Deedle, Deedle
Dum," which was accepted for publication by
Jack Mills, Inc. Ten thousand orchestrations
have already been placed and it is booked for
early release on some of the leading talking ma-
chine records and music rolls.
George D. Lottman, advertising manager for
Jack Mills, Inc., recently left on a trade trip for
upper New York and New England territory.
