mittoc demands This statement
PROFESSOR sHAw's sIDg.
Professor Shaw takes the ground that he
had not been properly treated that no
one had seen hun about the matter, and
the only thing he knew Of 1t was "a letter
from Mr.. Powers saying ne had been
asked and consented 10 play on tins
occasion and requested the organ key.
Professor Shaw says that had Mr.. Smith
asked hm to allow Mr.. Powers to per-
form he would have done so. tie declined
Mr. Powers's request for the KEY. While
he always expects fee when performing
for MARI ages Professor Shaw states dis
tinctly that his course IN this matter was
prompted by the principle involved and
not from a desire to secure money.
