a special group for children, were made at once

William K Allen, proprietor of the William
F. Allen Piano Co., which until recently oper-
ated stores in Pittsburgh, Duquesne and Don-
ora, Pa., was indicted in October last by the
Federal grand jury of the Southern District of
New York on four separate counts for fraudu-
lent use of the United States mails through the
sale of fictitious piano instalment contracts to
the Bankers-Commercial Security Co., Inc., and
Commercial Investment Trust, Inc., both of
New York City. Besides the mailing of spurious
contracts the defendant was indicted for the
mailing of false financial statements and for
offering contracts to both companies secured by
the same pianos.
Allen's trial began December 20th before Fed-
eral Judge Frank A. Coleinan of the Southern
District of New York, and he was found guilty
by a jury on December 23rd on all four counts.
'.I'lie conviction of Allen is another step in
the intensive campaign being earried on by
finance companies and credit agencies to dis-
courage the operations of unscrupulous re-
lailers, an association having been formed to
i.heck such practices.
