INTRODUCES "SHERIDAN'S RIDE"

Trio of Colored Songwriters and Publishers Run "I'll Be in My Dixie Home Again To-morrow"
Afoul of the Law
Proves Big Sensation
Perry Bradford, Lemuel Fowler and Spencer
Williams, all colored songwriters and music pub-
lishers, were placed in the Tombs last week in
default of $5,000 bail each—Bradford and
Fowler on the charges of conspiracy and Wil-
liams on a charge of perjury. The song, "He
May Be Your Man, But He Comes to See Me
Sometimes," was the cause of the trouble.
The Ted Browne Music Co., of Chicago,
brought the suit against Fowler, who, it was
claimed, was the author of the song, and Brad-
ford, who it was alleged was dealing as several
non-existent corporations. Bradford is the pres-
ent publisher of the song, although the Browne
Co. contended that it held the copyright thereof
and also published it in Chicago on assignment
from the Francis Clifford Music Co., of that
city, which originally accepted the song from
Fowler on a royalty contract.
E. T. Paull, the well-known composer of de-
scriptive marches, announces the release of a
new march, entitled "Sheridan's Ride." This is
being issued as a companion piece to "Paul Re-
vere's Ride."
The E. T. Paull Music Co., 243 West Forty-
second street, of which Mr. Paul is the head,
will inaugurate a Fall advertising and exploita-
tion campaign, in which this new issue will be
featured.
CHICAGO, I I I . , September 18.—"I'm gonna sing
you a song 'To-morrow,' which I received yes-

hope you'll remember it to-morrow. That's the
title—'To-morrow'—and while I'll sing 'To-
morrow' to-day you can come again to-morrow
because I will also sing 'To-morrow' to-morrow
