Receive Terrible Shock From Lawmakers of Twenty Eastern States lhe Legislatures of twenty Eastern states have passed laws prohibit- ing fraudulent advertising in its various forms, and in every instance, whether specifically mentioned or not, the law has been so framed as to include in its prohibition fraudulent piano contests in which credit checks, credit letters or credits in any form are issued to be redeemed as part pay- ment on the purchase price of a piano, player piano or, like instrument of- fered for sale by the person or firm conducting such contest. The law makers of these vartous states claim as justification for the enactment of these laws that the contestants are at a disadvantage in these contests, owing to the fact that the public generally are unfamiliar with the prices of pianos and like merchandise, on account of the many different makes and grades, and for this reason persons or firms con- ducting these contests find it easy, before issuing these credits, to raise the prices on all of their pianos or like merchandise sufficient to cover the highest credit check, credit letter or like credit issued and thereby fraudulently charge the person to whom a smaller credit check, credit letter or like credit is issued, more for the piano or like merchandise dur- ing such a sale than would be charged under other circumstances and at other times. H In certain cases where persons or firms have been tried and convicted in the courts for violation of these laws, it has been set up as a defense that the overcharge for the piano or like merchandise to the person holding the smaller credit is not fraudulent, owing to the fact that the law does not prohibit the merchant from selling his merchandise cheaper to one person than to another, and further that this excessive charge is neces- sary in order to cover the free prizes awarded in such con- tests and to defray the expenses of heavy advertising, but 4 | the court and juries in every case hs taken a different ¢ view of the matter and where no betier defense has been made, a conviction has been the result. v In the year 1911, a former manager of the Bush & Lane Piano Com- pany’s store at Seattle, without the permission or knowledge of the Bush & Lane Piano Company, put on a piano contest, but did not hold his po- sition long enough to carry the contest to completion, for as soon as this knowledge reached the officers of the Bush & Lane Piano Company he was removed from his position and the business put into the hands of a salesman until the company could procure a manager whose ideas of the piano business would conform to the Bush & Lane Piano Company's policy, which policy opposes contests and other like methods of procuring business.

Over the strenuous objection of counsel for the defense, Judge Cush man Wedneeday allowed the gov- ernment to file es an exhibit the Chinese document, alleged to be an agreement on the part of Frank H. Tape, former Chinese immigra- tion interpreter, to pay China Dan $1,000 for the murder of Lum Kong. The defense contended that the government had not proved Tape had either written or signed it Quong Foy, present Chinese tn. terpreter for the immigration de partment, was called to the stand He interpreted the document in reading as follows This note is prepared by Chue Tip (Frank H.
