Music teachers, music pupils and

nolds to beware OF one Il. e. Mason. a
we'll dressed young man, who repre-
sents himself as an agent of Phil
adelphia sheet music company, and

Mason's "game" is to visit music
lovers, display his samples Of music
take orders for music, cGiIect the cost
of same in advance. He then pockets
the money and never sends the orders
to the company.
From all that can be learned, Ma.
son made his appearance in Newport
News week or so ago and has since
worked his game" on scores of peo
pie of the city and probably would
yet have been working 1t had not one
young lady, who gave him an order
fer some music written letter to
the company about the matter. II
seems that she had bought consider
able music from the company before
and suspected Mason of being fakir
Yesterday she received telegram
from the company saying that Ma
son was not an agent OF the company
and requesting that she report the
matter to the police and have Mason
arrested The young lady did as re
quested, but the police were unable
to locate the alleged agent and 1t is
thought that he has left the city
probably TO work in Hampton or some
nearby town.
