Executive Committee Hold Meeting in Columbus, 0., on April 17 with a Full Attendance— Convention Outlook Most Satisfactory — Look for a Tremendous Fall Trade — Ask Factories to Prepare — Visitors Entertained by Mr. Whitsit. A meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Talking Machine Jobbers was held in the offices of the Perry B. Whitsit Co., Columbus, Ohio, on April 17, when a number of matters of importance to the association were discussed at length, and suitable action taken where possible. Every officer and member of the executive committee was present at the meeting, namely: President Perry B. Whitsit, Vice-President J. Newcomb Blackman; Secretary J. C. Roush, Treasurer Louis Buehn, E. F. Taft, J. F. Bowers, Lawrence McGreal and Rudolph Wurlitzer and H. H. Blish. Others present at the meeting were: W. F. Davison, vice-president of the Perry B. Whitsit Co.; P. J. Towle and T. Towle, of the Eclipse Musical Co., Cleveland, O. ; Laurence H. Lucker, Minneapolis Phonograph Co., Minneapolis, Minn.; E. J. Heffelman and P. Shrake, Klein & Heffelman Co., Canton O. One of the more important works taken up by the committee was the completing of the final arrangements for the convention at Atlantic City. Those present at the meeting were very enthusiastic over the outlook for a large attendance, especially from the West, where the jobbers have had a good business and feel inclined to bear the expenses of the trip. It was the unanimous opinion of the jobbers attending the jobbers' meeting, that while the business for the holidays and thus far this year had been very satisfactory, the trade in the fall would open in a way that would surprise even the most optimistic and it was urged that the factories take advantage of any dull time during the summer to make up as large a reserve stock of machines for the fall trade as pos sible. On their part the jobbers are asked to aid the factories in providing for the coming demand by placing orders as far ahead as possible and carrying a maximum amount of stock in their stores. The meeting was divided into morning and afternoon sessions, those present being entertained at lunch at the Ohio Club by Mr. Whitsit. In the evening those of the committee and visitors who stayed over for the night, had dinner at the Southern Hotel, after which they were invited to witness the press review of the moving pictures taken during the Roosevelt hunt in the African jungles, and other films of timely interest that were to be released the following morning. Louis Buehn and J. N. Blackman left Columbus on Monday, April 18, dropping off at Cincinnati, where they visited the Wurlitzer Co.'s establishment. They arrived in Philadelphia next day for the purpose of serving on the committee appointed to confer with the Victor Co. on several matters of interest. The committee was subsequently received by Louis F. Geissler, general manager of the company, and a satisfactory understanding arrived at. to the Simpson-Crawford Co., a New York department store, the defendants had infringed the Berliner patent. C. A. L. Massie, of the American Graphophone Co.'s legal staff, has associated with him in this proceeding Richard N. Dyer, elder brother of Frank L. Dyer, president of the National Phonograph Co., Orange, N. J. Horace Pettit appeared for the Victor Co. When the case is made up the hearing will be held before Judge Lacombe in chambers. In the event of the judge not reversing himself, which is rare, the case will he immediately taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals for review and final adjudication. 'THE PHONOGRAPHIC CLOCK." Swiss Device Announces the Hour to Any Room When Desired — Phonographs in German Reichstag. REHEARING IN STENCILING CASE. Motion Granted for Rehearing of Case of Victor Talking Machine Co. vs. American Graphophone Co. for Infringement of Berliner Patent. April 22 a motion for a rehearing in the socalled record stenciling case of the Victor Talking Machine Co. against the American Graphophone Co. was argued and granted by Judge Lacombe, United States Circuit Court, southern district of New York. The decision of Judge Lacombe was published in The World of April 15, in which the Federal court said that in relabeling a quantity of Leeds & Catlin Co.'s records as "Sir Henry" and selling them under this title A German trade journal says, under the headline "The Phonograph Clock," that Switzerland has gained a point over America in the clock industry by placing on the market a timepiece which bears that name. It is valuable as a novelty and "a source of comfort to the blind and the lazy." The clock may he placed in any room in connection with a phonograph and a person in an adjoining room, having no clock and where connection has been made with the timepiece by electric wires, nesds merely to press a button to hear the time called aloud by the instrument. The same principle has been employed in the German Reichstag, where by touching a button the members in distant parts of the building are told by phonograph the name of the next speaker. J. W. Moody, brother of V. W. Moody, sales manager of the New York Talking Machine Co., has gone to Birmingham, Ala., to take charge of the talking machine department of the E. E. Forbes Co. in that city. Mr. Moody formerly traveled for the Victor Talking Machine Co.
