MUSICAL INDUSTRY
BUSINESS JUMPING
Manufacturers Are Principal Vic.
tins of Radio and Talking
Pictures.

Radio and the ''talkies" have sent
the musical instrument industry skid
ding for an appalling drop in business.
Just as bobbed hair played havoc
with hairpin sales, so have these in
novations in the entertainment realms,
combined with miniature golf, automo-
biles and other allurements from the
fireside, taken a toll OF 60 per cent of
musical industry manufactures, accord
ing TO statistics made available yester-
day at the Census Bureau.
SaXophones, banjos, comets and the
other brasSes, or the So-called Jazz in
struments which have come into their
own during the past decade, tapered OF
in production along with the pianos,
violinS and organs. Based on statistics
for 1929, as compared to 1927, when the
previous musical instrument census was
taken, the analysis shows that ship
ments for last year totaled SIS, 726, $50
as compared to 1927, $50, 9S7 in 1927.
The manufacturers. Of course, have
been the chief sufferers. Retail music
stores hardly without exception fiocked
TO radio several years ago and have
been reaping the harvest of the ire
mendous sales. The current year, how
ever, has been a hard one for radio
manufacturers as well as those who
make musical instruments.
Radios inroads on instrument manu-
facture are unquestioned. In the case
of the "tslkies," however, G. J. North
chief Of the Commerce Department S
motion picture division, said today that
the tendency away from orchestras and
living music in motion picture houses
has lessened the demand for musical
talent. Consequently musicians are
turning to other lines of endeavor.
But there is also a bright side to this
picture. Mr.. North said the introduce
ton Of new musical numbers over the
radio and on the spoken screen stinu-
lates the desire Of tire public to hear
the songs again. and possibly to try
them out on instruments which theJ
may play. Eric North chief Of thu
specialties division of the department
concurs in that view and goes ever
farther.

RADIO SHELVING SEEN
Chance of Important Legislation
This Session Held Slim.

There is little or no likelihood of the
passage Of important radio legislation
curing the present sitting of Congress,
according TO Senator Dill of Washing
ten, co-author of the radio act An
effort will be made to enact the bill
merging the Radio Division of the De-
partment of Commerce into the Federal
Radio Commission, he said. This bill
Is up TO the House leaders, the Senate
having already passed it.
No other radio legislation is in view.
says Senator Dill. The Couzens bill for
replacing the Federal Radio Commits
sion with commission on communica-
tons is necessarily being held in abey-
ance pending the bus and railroad bills
new occupying the attention of the
Interstate Commerce Committee. On
the House side the leaders, including
Senator-e!ect Wallace White. are doubt
ful whether even the Ra5io Division
Radio Commission merger bill will be
passed this session.

A BILLION OF RETAIL SALES
Great Atlantic g. Pacific Tea Com
pany Makes Gain During Year

The fact divulged in sales man
agement last week that the Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company
has achieved a sales volume of a
billion dollars is sufficiently i'm
pressive to command general at
tention. Few manufacturing con
Germs equal or surpass this sum.
In the retail field there is nothing
of comparable size. The whole
food bill Of the country is only
eighteen or nineteen times as
much. In other words, this huge
chain system, comprising some
$4,000 stores, supplies the larger
requirements of at least five per
sons in every hundred of our en-
tire population. How has such a
mammoth business been establish
ed in the face of teen competi-
ton? Many explanations are pro-
pounded. The company vouch-
safes only one BY offering groc-
cries the people want and nothing
else, and selling them at the low
est prices practicable, that is, the
goods and nothing on the side.
Proof of the first part of this
statement is seen in the fact that
the company's stores stock prac-
tically every well-known brand of
foods, besides some brands of its
own which have become well
known to its customers, as well as
all the food staples. The second
part Of the explanation is support
ed by the income statement from
which it appears that net profits
amounting to more than twenty
four million dollars are made UP
of pa cents in the dollar Of sales,
compared with net profits of
something like 35 cents in the
dollar of sales for all trade cor
porations showing taxable income
Yet this exceptionally low profit
ratio is sufficient to pile up very
handsome return (about % per
cent? on the capital invested, the
average amount of which, as dis
closed by the company's balance
sheet, is only between eighty and
ninety million dollars.

DELAWARE MAN Is HELD
John @. Coffman, of Milford, Re
turned to Atlantic CITY

John @. Coffman, Jr., %, of Mil
ford Neck, who eloped November
% with Rose Herman, 16-year-old
Atlantic City high school senior,
was taken back to Atlantic City
last week to face indictment
charging violation of the statute
that makes it a high misdemeanor
to take a girl under IS out of the
state for the purpose of matri-
mony with out her parents con-
sent. Delaware authorities at first
turned deaf ear to requests of
the Atlantic City prosecutors Of
fee for COffman's return. Earl D.
Wiley, deputy attorney general of
Delaware, wrote, saying that the
couple We're living together and
that the bride and her husband
didn't care to return. The prose-
cutor's Office proceeded to extra
dite Coffman and finally a teIe-
gram was received stating that
the governor of Delaware had
signed extrodition papers, after
Coffman waived his rights on ad-
vice of his counsel, Robert A. Pea
cock. The statute was invoked
against Coffman by the girls

Before the year ended another
great change had come over Gen
eral Sutton's frontier domain.
Trade had left 1t for the more con-
venient locality of the river land
Ing and was already building the
city of Sacramento. The entire
structure was being demolished for
its building material. In later
years the city of Sacramento spread
to and beyond it; streets were laid
out across its site. In more re-
cent years it has been restored to
its original form as a memorial to
General Sutter and the history in
which he figured so vitally.
Squatters settled on the outlying
lands. California was being an
nexed to the United States, and the
rights and titles by Spanish gov
ernors were not respected. The
old pioneer appealed to the United
States courts in vain for recon-
pense. California did, however,
grant a pension of $3.50 a month to
him, but he relinquished it after
fourteen years. In 1872 he sent his
two daughters to Bethlehem, Pa.
to attend the MOravian school, and,
visiting that section later, remained
in Lititz. There today, in the lit
tie Moravian cemetery, is his grave,
beside that of his wife, Anna.
In the recent review Of the legal
aspects of Suffers claim against
the government, it is recalled that
in 1851 Sutter filed suit against
21,O00 squatters. The court up
held him. The squatters appealed
and kept the issue in litigation for
years.
After Suffers death in 1870 the
legal action languished. Attorneys
for Reginald Sutter and other heirs
are in Washington going through
the Congressional Records in
search of documents to back up the
claims of the heirs.

firemen were summoned. The fire
men were summoned. The villag-

fought the flames until the arrival
of the firemen, and had the fire
partly under control when they
arrived. The fact there was no
wind prevented a more serious
blaze as firemen were hampered
by lack of water, but kept the fire

house was damaged TO the extent
of several hundred dollars. The
fire, which was discovered at 2
o'clock, broke out on the lower
