ing an investigation by post office inspectors
of their activities. The orders were issued on
the ground that the respondents were engaged
in an alleged scheme for obtaining money
through the mails by means of false and fradu-
lent pretenses.
According to the report of the inspectors
who investigated the case, the scheme operated
by Bell, who owns both companies, was to
solicit through the mails so-called "song poems"
from amateur writers and then "contract" with
them to set the words to music and furnish
certain other service in connection with the
exploitation of the song. Inspectors discovered
that where Bell furnished the music to such
poem-; the musical compositions were of an
inferior quality and of little or no value to the
authors from a financial standpoint. The evi-
dence showed Bell's gross receipts for 1923
amounted to $16,000, and that he is receiving
150 letters a day from unsuspecting clients for
his offers.
