On some "wonderful information" this iokc writer thought lie had a large scoop in eraldlng the news tbat the Wenrlch & How | ard Music Company bad sold out When called up on the 'phone by Mr. Howard, of the above llrm. as to where be secured his Information, the "wise" one replied tbat "somebody told him," and "what do yon In- tend to do about It?" "Some authentic uews, what? The story of the whole affair Is this: lercy Wenrlch, who is a member of the firm of wenrlch A Howard, becoming rcstles? over the worries and cares of the business end of tie concern, made overtures to Henry Wat- terson, of the Watterson, Berlin A Snyder Company, as to buying oat bis interest A trice was set, a few facts went over, and that's about as far as it went Mr. Howard has little intention of letting go of Sis share of the business. When Interviewed by a Clippeh reporter Mr. Wenrlch said: ''Business cares have largely lntcrfcrrcd with my composing, and I bad thought that If I could get my price- I would sell out. Mr. Howard and myself went to see Mr. Watterson, ard I told him what 1 wanted. The price evidently did not salt blm, and I havo not heard from him since. while I would very much like to set out of the publishing end of the business, I wouldn't tacrlfice my holdings. Our linn Is making money, and as far aa the buslne-u, relations between Mr. Howard and myself, they havo always been the most cordial." Mr. Howard, when sero, said: "There Is absolutely no truth in the report that wo have gold out to Henry Watterson, It is only another ono of those contemptible tricks of some people." Another rumor was on the streets to the (■feet that <1ins. K. Harris had shut down, bat this also proved false. The Chss. K. Harris Company, finding business a Utile dull, and teeing no relief nntll after tho Bo'ldays, deckled to cut down their force. They let rat about six of their people a week ago last Saturday and Immediately Uie rumor factory started that they bad gone out of business. Mr. Harris was seen by a Clipfbr man and had this to say: "We have 'been in business some twenty odd years, and have made money, and jou will seo the sign of ChnB. K. Harris Publishing Compony on the front •f some building as long es I live. My busi- ness lias alwnys taken earo of itsolf, and I Intend It should as the money tint I hnvo made out of it I do not propose to put back. If business continues dull I will reduce my ■taff, and offices accordingly. ,But," said Chas. K. Harris smilingly "Just keep your eye oa ihe 'House of Harris' otter tho first of the year. I have several new Bongs and I never felt surer of any to my experience, My man- ager, Meyer Cohen, Is banking his reputation on these new numbers, and I have seldom found Meyer on the wrong track. Just watch me, that's all." BROADWAY MUSIC COMPANY ENLARGING Q.UAIITEUH. A ellly rumor to the effect that Will Von Tllier had failed to the extent ot rainy thou- sand dollars, started daring a conversation Mat week In one of theatrical's well known eloba. The parties seemed to think they knew all about it, and heralded the news suite loudly throughout the room*. Mr. Von Tilzer seemed very much peeved •bout the matter when Interviewed and threatened to make all kinds of trouble for tho Instigators, As a mater of fact the Broadway Music Co. Is about as sound as It Is possible to make a music publishing house. Since Its conception some nine months ago. Mr. Von THnr, who Is Its president, bis a policy In discounting all his bills, which fact alone should prove that there is absolutely no I ruth In the rumor. It simmers down to an over indulgence in Joy water, Mr. Von Til- ier Is without exception one ot the most level headed and conservative business men ta tho game today, and it doesnt seem possi- ble that a firm that has bad three solid hits in nine months should be seeking nsslstancc. "We have three new songs," said Mr. Von Timer, "that will revolutionise tho music business. Tbey are now being featured by ■carlj all the leading bcadllncrs and have £ roved all tbat we have predicted. I do not itend to release them until after the first *f tbe year and then in the proper channel, The Nkw York Clipfbr advertising pages, "At that time onr new quarters on tbe second floor In tho Exchango BuBdlng will be comploto and will be thrown open to tho pro- fession. No expense is being spared in mak- ing the new offices tho finest in the rlty. A new invention Is being installed in each of tho dosen piano rooms in regards to tho 'ven- tilation." Mr, Von Tllsor also announces that he will shortly open an office la 'Frisco. PHIL IN CHICAGO. Phil Meyer has taken charge of tho West- ern office of the Geo. W. Meyer Company. The New England branch which was Is charge of Davo Manley, has been closed. IS IT THIS BEGINNING OP TUB ENDt Orders were Issued in several of the larger r-ubliablng concerns that, beginning from the new year, they will positively eliminate pay- ing singers. The profcsilonal managers of these houses, as well as the demonstrators, hivo been ad- vised that tbey aro not to contract with sing- ers, lenders cabaret entertainers and others who have been In the habit of being paid for rendering songs. What a gloilons thins for the music busi- ness If such a thing would be enforred. With tho professional ropy evil about to be done away with by several ot tho houses, and tie starting of eliminating of paying alnccrs what a wonderful business the music game would be. All this evil needs Is to have ono of ths larger house* start something and tho others are bound to follow. Organisation will do it CLARK NOT A RANKROPT. Attorney Howard J. Ader, of Chicago, suc- ceeded In having tho petition in bankruptcy filed against the Frank Clark MubIc Com- pany, dismissed in tho U. 8. District Court. Upon his contention that the music house was solvent, nnd that no acts were com- mitted by them which warranted an Invol- untary petition being filed against them. MORSE) MUSIC COMPANY TO MAKE! CHANGS). A change Is likely to tako place in ths Theodore Morse Music Company after the first of the year. Everything Is not an rosy as it should be among the different heads, nnd trouble has been brewing for some time. A now song by several free lances, which has been accepted by tho head of the firm, seems to indicate that something surely wilt be started. PAYING SINGERS OLD STUFF, All this talk nbont paying singers origi- nating some ten years ago Is a Joke. Why, It's one ot the oldest stunts in theatricals. In Tim Cliit-rr dated Dec. 8. 1888, Geo.

Stern ft Co. have Just won another victory In their longstanding litiga- tion with Carl Laemmle, Carl Laemmle Mu- sic Ocmpnny and others, growing out of tho publication by the Carl Laemmle Music Com- pany of the song "I'll Change the Thorns to RoseB,'* The lyric for that song was written by Arthur J.
