Given a Thirteen Month Sentence, "Robert D. Kellogg, song composer and pub- Usher for amateurs, was found pulitr Satur- day evening, Doc. 20, In the united Btatea District Court, of using the mails to defraud, Ho was sentenced by Judge Wm. II. Griibb to Atlanta Prison. Through Jan. C. Cleary, bis attoroey, Kellogg obtained a writ of error on ball, which will enable him to spend bis Christmas with his family. It took tho Jury about three liours' de- liberation to convict him of defrauding would-be song writers. The Robert B. Kollocg Music Company, of which Robert B. Kellogg wnH tbo president, lias been to business for several yearn, and In that time bas handled thousands of clients. It wan the old game of accepting song poems and putting them to music for a certain ram that got Kellogg Into trouble, Kellogg probably would be at It jet bad he lived up to his agreement. ITe failed In tunny Instances In keeping bin word with cus- tomers, especially that of delivering tho five hundred sheets of music after a contract bad been entered Into by both parties. Why these so-called publishers Insist on fleecing amateur song writers It beyond con- sideration. On a legitimate bails a most profitable business can be worked np, and all within the law. Kcllogg's crisp was only one of levornl pending in tho United States courts. Tho postal authorities hare been on the track of this sort of publishers for several years. About Ore years ago they made a general elenn-up ana put about a doscn out of business. At present tho largeat house, which Is now located In tbo city of Washing- ton, has an Indictment hanging over Its head. The case will come up shortly In that city and will be eagerly watched by those par- ticipating in this sort of buitness. (Editor's Nora.—There aro many pub- lishers and song composers that conduct • business of this nature on a legitimate scale, and mako qunrterly royalty payments to the amateur song writer. There is a good Held for this sort of work and good money la It for both parties.) TO EVERYBODY EVUHYWHURofl. I with everyone one of the Merriest Cbrlst- tnnses and the Happiest New Years. May every song composer have one or more hits to his credit, and also find his •locking filled with royalty checks. For the coming year I nope to serve von better than the one that Is leaving us. and If I have offended your feelings in any way call me up and the drinks will be "upon me." TIIINQS THAT ARE NOT UKBIaT TO HAPPEN, The music combine. llcmfrk selling out Joe GooduHn going to Europe. Irving Berlin leaving Wottorson. Another "Lonesome pine." Chat. K. Harrit going out of business, i Uoie (Jumble quitting Rcrnick. 1V<« Von Ttlier writing a song. The professional copy evil stopped, ntop paying acts. Oeifiso a ten cent rate on sheet muitc. GOOD LUCK, HAUniCE. It Is wttb pleanire that I note that Maurice Abrahams, a hoy who ls known from coast to coast, has one of tbe present day lilts In "Get Out and Get Under." It's in him and only a matter of time before he will be counted among tho loaders, WHAT'S DOING? I saw several publishers In conference last week, but I am not predicting anything, I won't mention names, but if anything bap- pens put me on tho Hit first. No, I won't call the turn. Silence Is A polite negative, GILBERT'S NEW imsil NUHDBR, "You're tbe Fairest Utile Daisy," the latest song by L. Wolfo Gilbert, as predicted In this column some weeks ago, ls now the talk of aongdnra. The lyrics by Mr. Gilbert «bow him at bis best, and tho music composed by Kerry Mills ls up to tho usual standard of this well known composer. For a singer of this styls of song it Is just the thing and cno that Will be hard to duplicate. WHAT NEXT? 'Leon Flatow received aa a Christmas pres- ent from Lewis V.
