According to the story told by East- land to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tues- day, he was returning to his home from work when, as he walked south ON Fif- teenth street, the negresses.passed him. He paid no attention to them, he said, and they followed him to the mouth of the alley between Pine and Olive. Two negroes jumped from the dark- of the alley and pinioned East- land’s arms to his side, one of them grasping his throat so that he could not give an alarm. “Frisked,” Then Freed. Helpless in the grasp of four muscular arms, Eastland was dragged into the alley and searched. With deft rapidity the negresses “‘frisked’’ him, removing his watch and the roll of money with great dexterity. Then the signal was given to release him, and the women ran swiftly through the alley, while the men north along Fifteenth street. All was s0 quickly done, Eastland Says, that he was unable to get a good look at his assailants, and he could give the police no description of them. The only word spoken was by one of the men, who said ‘be quick.’’ The money was to have been sent to Easiland’s mother for a Christmas gift. His mother is living in Newhamp- Andrew CC.

Began as Wagon Driver.

Mr. Maroney came to St. Louis a dozen years ago from Belleville, where he had driven a grocery wagon. He early took an interest in politics, and began the study of law in the time he could spare from his employment. He joined the Democrats who were opposing Butler, and succeeding cam- paigns found him an active figure until the campaign of 1900, when Joseph W. Folk was elected Circuit Attorney. Ma- roney had been an indefatigable Folk worker, and the position of assistant to the Circuit Attorney was_ offered to him. For this work his success in the position of City Attorney had recom- mended him. was PISTOLS CAN BE.

Mr. Maroney is said to have a wider professional acquaintance with persons regarded by prosecutors as valuable sources of information than any other man in St. Louis. He knows the inner workings of the Police Department, and is a shrewd, practical politician. The regard in which Mr. Maroney is held by practical politicians was shown when Justice James H. Croniny now a “reformer,” classifying local Democrat- ic leaders, said: “Snake Kinney is a good boy, Tom Mulvihill is an angel, but Andy Maro- ney is the goods.”’ As Commissioners Stewart, Fristoe and Jones are not considered practical politicians, it f!s believed that Mr. Ma- roney, if he enters the police board, will be pre-eminently the political mem- ber. .

Girl Pursues Negroes. Fugenbaum of 1086 North Seventh street, 9 years old, was stopped at Bighth and Carr streets Mgnday evening by two negroes, one of whom snatched the gold-rimmed glasses she wore.

At Ninth and Carr streets the girl overtook the negro who had snatched her glasses, and threw her arms about his legs in an effort to stop him. He struck and slapped her yntil she was forced to release her hold, but dropped the glasses, which were found badly broken.

a ee om SPAUGH JURYMEN ALL UNDER FIFTY ~~ ~~ =H - - --- Trial of Brothers for Killing Sheriff Polk at Ironton Opens at Centreville.

STATE ‘OUTLINES CASE

Expects to Prove Younger Spaugh Telephoned Re- garding Edgar Fight. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CENTREVILLE, MO., Dec. jury made up entirely of farmers, all married and none over 560, will pass on -the guilt -of the Spaugh brothers and Mrse Spaugh, whose trial for the killing of Sheriff Polk of Iron County began here today. Up to noon omly three wit- nesses had been’ examined, all of the testimony pertaining to the differences between young Edgar and the Spaughs. When the case was called Assistant District Attorney Joseph G. Williams of De Soto, principal counsel for the de- fense, asked that the rule of the court excliding all witnesses from the court- room be enforced. When the Sheriff st _ @sked all witnesses.in the case to rise, Sul. capacity? at least one-half of those present stood up. Willie R, Hdgur, for the State, read the information, a document of several closely typewritten pages, and made a statement of.what the State expected to prove. A brief statement of the case is this: “yonn W. Polk Sheriff of Iron County ut the time of the killing, on May %& Hast, was notified over the telephone that there was trouble near the depot at Ironton, and that his presence was needed. “William R. Edgar Jr., William R. Edgar of [ronton, had had a difficulty with William Spaugh Jr., and had telephoned to the Marshal for ssistance. The City Marshal being out of town, the Sheriff went in his place. The State claims to be able to prove that William SpauglW Jr. had telephoned to a friend that he had ‘knocked the wadding’ out: of young Edgar because cdg: ar's father had prosecuted him. “When Sheriff olk reached the Syaugh residence William Spaugh Jr. was standing on the frent porch. Sher- iff Polk .told’ Spaugh that he wanted to see him. Spaugh replied, ‘You've got 4 Warrant for me, and don’t know whether [lk go or not.” “The Sheriff replied, ‘It doesn’t make any difference whether I have a war- rant or not.. I want to see you.’ “Spaugh turned and went into the house. The Sheriff followed him. The son of Mayor lirst shot was fired from a shotgun, the | load missing Sheriff Polk and striking the floor of the’perch. The shots fol- lowed in rapid succession, and when the neighbors rushed in Sheriff Polk was found lying, on his face, just inside the kitchen dvor; covered with blood. He had been shot under the arm with a shotgun; once through the body from behind, the bullet passing through the heart, ‘and onc@ through the head from the réar, the bullet lodging in the left temple. The Spwughs made their escape and were captured Six days afterward ‘and lodged ‘ini the Ironton Jail, where ag remained’ until an effort was made Iynch them, when they were taken to St. Louis tor safekeeping.”’ The courtroym is crowded today: ‘to its Many visitors are here from Iron County. While the feeling ot friends of Sheriff Polk is very bitter against, the »Spaughs, there ts a‘ dispo- sition to.1lét the law take its course. and there i¢ very general satisfaction Nee that the jury selected to try “GaSe? will give the defendants a fair and impartjal tria!.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—President Roosevelt's mes’ « 0 the ke ROOSEVELT IN HIS MESSAGE In order to insure a healthy social and industrial life, every big corpo- ration should be held responsible by, and accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct. All private car lines, industrial roads, refrigerator charges and the like should be expressly put under supervision of the Interstate Commerce Coiimission or some similar body so far as rates and agreements prac- tically affecting rates are concerned. Congress should provide, by appropriate legislation, for the introduc- tion of block signals upon all railroads at the eariiest practical date, as a measure of increased satety to the traveling public. The excessive hours of labor to which railroad employes in train serv-

! tinction between honesty and dishon- esty: they draw the line only this side of what may be called law-honesty, the kind of honesty necessary in order to avoid falling into the clutches of the law. Of course the only complete rem- edy for this condition must be found in an aroused public conscience, a higher sense of ethical conduct in the com- munity at large, and especially among business men and in the great profes- sion of the law, and in the growth of a spirit which condemns all dishoneSty, whether in rich man or in poor man, whether it takes the shape of bribery or of blackmail. But much can be done by legislation which is not only drastic, but in Departments. At various times I have instituted in- vestigations into the organization and conduct of the business of the Executive Departments. While none of these in- quiries have yet progressed far enough to warrant final conclusions, they have already confirmed and emphasized the general impression that the organization of the departments is often faulty in principle and wasteful in results. while many of their business methods are antiquated and _ inefficient. There is every reason why our executive govern- Million Women in Industry That ls Work- ing Change and Disturbance in the Do- mestic and Social Life of the Country — Recommends Enactment of Law Against _ Bribery and Corruption in Elections. tlement of a number of important ques- tions by another conference to be called subseauently and at an early date. such that war is demanded in the name sf the Pighest morality.

The Meparcment of Commerce and Lapor should also make a thorough investigauion of the condiuons of women in inaustry. Near five million American women are now engaged in gainful occupations; yet there 1s low the policy of other nations by pro- viding adequate national supervision of commercial interests which are clearly national in character. My predecessors have repeatedly recognized that the for- eign business of these companies is an organizations, which at present is not the ense.

The people of this country continue to enjoy great prosperity. Unloubtedly there will be ebb and flow in such pros- perity, and this ebb and flow will be felt more or less by all members of the com- munity, both by the deserving and the undeserving.

What is needed is not Sweep- ng pronibiton of every arrangement, gocd or bad, which may tend to restrict competition, but such adequate super vision »nd regulations as wiil prevent any restriction of competition from be- ing to the detriment of the public—as well as such supervision and regulation as will prevent other abuses in no way connected with restriction of competi- tion. Of these abuses, perhaps the chief, although by no means the only one, is overcapitalization—generally it- complicated.

The decrease in marriage, and especially in the birth rate, has been co- incident with it. This whole matter ir reality forms one of the greatest suciological phenomena of our time. Recent events have emphasized the importance of an early and ex- haustive consideration of the insurance question, to see whether it is not possible to furnish bétter safeguards than the several States have been exposed, There is need of av far stricter and more uniform regulation of the vast insurance interests of this country. The United States should in this respect follow the policy of other nations by providing adequate national supervision of commercial interests which are clearly national in character.

It is probably not unfair to say that many tens of thousands of volumes are published at which no hu- man being ever looks and for which there is no real demand whatever.

At present we face such utter lack of supervision, such freedom from the restraints of law, that excel- lent men have often’ been literally forced into doing what they deplored because otherwise they were left at the mercy of unscrupulous competitors, To rail at and assail the men who have done as they best could under such con- ditions accomplishes little. What we need to do is to develop an orderly sys- tem: and such a system can.only come through the xradually increased exer- cise of the right of efficient Govern- Fee ing that any benefit which comes to the » less able and less fortunate must of _ mecessity come even more to the more ~ rable and more fortunate.

When the bond issue ordinance comes before the Cauncil the Ziebold measure, embodying the unit vote provision, should be substituted for the bill he@arding. | Reasons for the adoption of this bill were given in very. plain terms by Judge Rassieur, whose remarks were published in full in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, and emphasize the Post-Dispatch’s utterances. The canvass made by the Organization Committee shows that there is an overwhelming sentiment in It is probably the most popular- of all the measures contemplated by the bond issue. But, as Judge Rassieur observes, if the proposals are separated the free bridge project will be in danger of defeat, even though two-thirds of fhe voters cast their ballots for it. It is not necessary to explain what this means. By combining all the proposals in one ordinance the free bridge cannot be defeated without sacrific- ~

The story is told of an 1l-year-old bov who failed in his Latin three consecutive days. ; is being questioned, he said to the teacher: “How ern vou expect a boy to study when stocks are go- ing up and down this way and that way?” And he jerked his hand up and down to illustrate the move- ments. | fe turned out that his father had given him $50 on his birthday. The boy gave it to a chum, who was a Wall street broker’s office boy, for investment. The story is told for true. It is at least character- istic and illuminating. A man who gives his baby soh $50 for a birthday present, to do as he pleases with, is just the man fo talk loudly of the markets at the dinner table.. Naturally, the child thinks the game’s the thing and takes a hand. The fever of the strenuous is epidemic, sparing not even children. What sort of a society shall we have a quarter of a century hence? Men who had no childhood are not equal to the strife of manhood. A A SS Even our strenuous President calls for an proved gridiron.

Abe Slupsky.” Phere was a time when the name of Statesman Dink Botts of Georgia was heralded far and wide as sui generis; when Gum Coates of Tennessee was en- titled to no little consideration on account of his name; when Barney Gibbs of Texas and Col. Heat- wole were thought worthy of more than passing com- ment by reason of their nomenclature; when J. Hop Woods of West Virginia, Stott Shivvers of Ar- kansas and Maj. Treble Pucker were accorded more than usual distinction by reason of the staccato syl-

~” ‘Jabication of their names, Christian and sur. But where are these celebrities now? Gone, all one, with the possible exception of Col, Abe Slup- Pe sky; gone where the woodbine twineth; gone where the whangdoodle mourneth for her first born. The name of Slupsky still remains as a fond reminder of an individual glory now departed, but as for the others, they are nil. But then Fortuue, as though determined that the name of Missouri should be continually on every tongue, raised up Statesman Lon Tubbs of anti-tip- ping fame; and now that he has gone glimmering, she has given us Eighty-one Turley, to the end that the attention of the world should again be called to the richness, the quality and the rococo ornamen- tation of native Missouri nomenclature. Who can beat it? Yea, who can equal it? Slupsky may fade and Tubbs perish, but Eighty-one Turley! Of a truth, this should prove to be “One of the few immortal names That were not born to die.”

— eee In his charge to the December grand jury Judge Withrow gave force and emphasis to the recommend- ation of its predecessor with regard to prosecuting the inquiry into police abuses, with a view to finding indictments. He added also a special recommenda- tion with regard to investigating the burglaries, and robberies which have been so frequent of late. The responsibility for the failure to suppress crime should be located. The work of this grand jury is specific. It should pursue the line of inquiry started by its predecessor to definite conclusions, finding indictments against all members of the force who have violated the laws. Those who are guilty of erafting, oppression, corrupt practices, perjury ov election erimes should be brought to the bar of jus- tice. The Board of Police Commissioners should not only co-operate with and aid the grand jury, but should pursue an independent investigation for pur- poses of reorganization and reforms. ——---—___—____—- MR. HANLON’S REPENTANCE. ‘Lhe horizon where the star of reform is rising as- sumes a brighter hue in the lurid light of Mr. Rich- ard Hanlon’s virtuous indignation over the sins of Gov. Folk. In his letter of resignation Mr. Hanlon accuses the Governor of participating in the movement to make the police a part of the Democratic macbine by taking them into the Jefferson Club. He accuses him of permitting his campaign fund to be enriched with $25,000 of police contributions. He accuses him of issuing commands to the. Police Board by long distance telephone; he accuses him of substituting Folk politics for somebody else’s politics in the Po-

lice Department and of sundry other offenses, the | chief of which appears to be a request te Mr. Hanlon to resign for politica] reasons. We do not defend any offenses of which Gov. | Ye merely indulge } the hope that he has seen the error of the old Jef- | Folk may have been guilty. ferson Club ways and has earnestly set out to recti- fy them. But we do rejoice that Mr. Hanlon recog- nizes the sins of the Police Board and of the political system of which he has been part and parcel. When a man who has been a member of.a Police Board under whose management the police were made a political machine, and not only contributed large sums to party slush funds, but committed atrocities at the polls, is shocked that a reform. Governor should ever have.countenanced the use of the police in polities; when a Police Commissioner who per- mitted the police to take commands from corrupt. politicians and law breakers, resents commands from a reform Governor, reform is looking up. Mr. Hanlon’s repentance comes too late to serve : the people in the Police Board, but it is in time to remind us that the moral revival is flourishing. » ee ee Owl, I. T., must have been asleep on the night when her bank was robbed. oe DOUGLAS HYDE IN ST. LOUIS. The spirit of the English House of Lords now dominates almost everything on which England sets its “hall mark” as literature. In prose or verse, the Englishman of letters who begins to show himself a power, is made a lord*or a baronet or a knight, according to the supposed harm he might do Eng- lish aristocracy if he were not won over and tied fast to it. An immediate result is that all the small-caliber writers, who, according to Kipling, “weep that they bin too small to sin to the height of their de- sires,’ are kept either whining or howling, in the hope that some sort of a bone will finally be thrown to them if they wait long enough in the alley back of the House of Lords. They all know that worse men have been made knights for doing their worst. So to become at least a Knight seems to them a

reasonable expectation. When English literature, thus controlled, crosses the Atlantic to give us ‘our standards, we. have reason enough, on this account alone, to do all that can be done in St. Louis to encourage Dr. Douglas Hyde when he brings the “Gaelic movement” here for inspection. Whatever else may be said of it, it does not come from the back alley of the English House of Lords and does not stand for Toryism. Scotland and Ireland have given England so much of its impulse towards what is really good, uplift- ing and liberating in literature, that if it were taken away, there might be left among English authors of the present few above the rank of those who are fit to be knighted for subserviency to what is worst and darkest in the inheritance of Torvism from the Dark Ages. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE A REPLY TO THE SCOT. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Item appearing in columns :for people's letters in your paper yesterday signed ‘'Canny Scotchman,” even. if written by a ‘“‘Shylock,”” which a number have suggested to me, is weak and only proves one thing, that they are putting up a defense by citing people to cases that do not exist. He makes no denial of the usury charge, simply de- fends a lot of law breakers. It {s against the law of this State to loan money at usury and one doing so is a criminal in the eyes of the law. and a worse criminal in the eyes of his Maker. Cc. W. HENRY, 412 Pine street.

For’men gen- erally believe that by a kindly law of compensation, homely women have been given a monopoly of brains. Beauty, one Darwin told us, was given to the male bird, some intermediate ani- mals and women to attract the opposite sex in the mat- ing season. Therefore beauty, to do a woman an} substantial good, would have to get he: a better husband than she would have if she were plain. Adniiration it certainly does obtain for her, yet, so far as I have observed, it has very little to do with matrimonial selection. If it had, the wives of our millionaires, who would naturally have the widest choice, would be the most beautiful women in the world. Where- as, actually, they don’t average as high as the same number of saleswomen. If women loved beauty sake one could understand their keen desire to possess it. But the aesthetic sense is not overdeveloped in the aver- age woman, and, if it were not for its supposed effect upon men, she would not waste so much thought on acquir- ing it. for its own

SAT UPON. Here is an Eneglisn story: On a bit- terly cold morning an oid man got into a carriage on the Great Western Rail- way. The guard, who was of a humane dispositon, offeréd the man a hot water tin, which he accepted gratefully. At the end of the journey the guard asked the old man if he had found the foot warmer comforting. “Yes,”’ he said, “but I liked another for my feet.” The old man had been sitting on hoon TOO old should have the warmer- for nearly thirty miles.

j President Max Orthwein: of the St. Society has issued a call for a meeting of the stockhold- ers af the irganization to’be held At the Planters Hotel on Wednesday, Dec. 6. The object of the meeting, as stated in the letter of convention, is ‘‘to change the bylaws of the soclety in regard to the date of election of officers and di- rectors, ' Mr. Orthwein says that the present by-laws of the society provide for the election of officers during the first week in May. This date Mr. Oorthwein claims is too late in the year to allow the incoming officers to organize and promote a good show in the November following. Mr. Orthwein thinks the of- ficers should be -elected early in the year that they may have plenty of time to organize their shows. All of which seems reasonable and harmless in itself. In the proposal Mr. Bratton sees, However, signs of treason and strategem if not spoils. Mr. Brat- ton is opposed to the change in the by- ‘laws bringing the election of directors 'up from May to January, | “T cannot see any reason for the | said Mr. Bratton in a circular ‘letter to his fellow stockholders. “The bylaws “were made in October. One month later they want to change them. ' Whence the wayness of this haste? “ I think that Col. Tom J. Landrum |inspired Mr. Orthwein to call this meet- ing. Col. Landrum is a friend of Law- rence Jones of Louisville, who was my rival at the recent St. Louis horse show. He is taking side@s against me here, try- (ing to perpetuate himself in office and eliminate me from the Board of Direc- tors. Mr. Orthwein said: ‘I do not care to re-engage in any controversy with Mr. Bratton. We are taking this step for the best interests of the Horse Show Society. It is true I have managed two most successful shows In less than a 'month’s time, but I do not want to do -it again or ask any other man to do it. as

Fratton made this fight on me. Now | want it and expect the support of the stockhclaers.”’ . Col. Tom J. Landrum said: “I do not care, or never have cared, to be a di- rector in the horse show, do not want any office in it, and have not any in- terest in it when any election is held. I am always. glad to take an humble part in any enterprise which I deem conducive to the public weal. I do not want anything of or from the Horse Show Society in the way of an office. If-the society wants me, I am content to be an humble worker in the ranks. I do not desire to run the horse. show or to attempt to tell other people what to do.”’ In his circular letter of protest to the stockholders Mr. Bratton says that he understands the election of officers is to be deferred to November, 1906. Mr. Orth- wein says that is to be advanced to Felpruary, 1996. In any event, Mr. Brat- ton holds, the intention of the call is

the same. Bratton proceeds to say that he is much opposed to the present officers, recites what he has done for the last and preceding horse shows, incloses a statement to prove that he made but $53 clear and above expenses at the show held last October, though credited with winning almost $2000, urges that the present officers cannot conduct an- other successful show owing to the antipithy of exhibitors who are friends of his (Bratton's), and winds up by ask- ing his correspondents to vote that the by-laws be not-~amended, the election held in May, as they now provide, and that a new set of officers be chosen at that time. The Horse Show Society will, tt is said, declare a dividend of 50 per cent on an investment of . $20,000 on the show. The profits were close to $10,000. Owing to the heavy expense of putting in stalls, lighting plants, ete., the expenditures were heavier than usual. —

St. Louis colleges are rather precipl- tately forming football plans for next seuson. With most important changes in tne rules, amounting to almost an en- tire reformation of the game, pending, it is scarce playing the part of wisdom for any college to, at this time, en- gage a coach and proceed to formulate a rugby campaign for 196. In all numan probability the rules will be so changed that the men who made the ola game will not recognize the new. This will demand an entirely new system of pley. It seems very probable that the distance of gain will be in- from five to ten yards. This will mean (tuat Kicking, long passing, transferring the ball frum one runner to another, Kicking promiscuously, and on tie run, must be empivyed to advance in a word, tue se-colied “in- the ball.

With rule in existence’ the breuker, the plunging be of much value. The fast runner, €mart dodger, accurate, quick passer and sure tackler will be tne man of value te a football team. Colleges will do well to consider these things in engeging coaches. If the rules are changed as indicated, playing tac- tics must be made anew. Specialists in line breaking. plunging, hurdiing. are scarce udapted to invent and develop new piays along these lines.

IBRNT WOULD SCAB ON NELSON Actor James Will Quit Stage and Endeavor to Beat Dane to Fight With Terry. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BUFFALO, @N. Y., Dec. 5.—Jimmy Britt saneunalll today that he will go to New York Sunday and seek a match with Terry McGovern, the battle to be pulled off in Philadelphia at any date that sulis Terry. Britt heard of the terms Battling Neison has offered McGovern for a match during the last week of January, and says that he will agree to more suitable terms in orcer to be the man to face McGovern. Both Britt and Nelson have arrived here, showing at rival theaters. Nelson has offered to fight Terry providing the Brooklynite will make 133 pounds when the men step into the ring. Further, Nelson wants 45 per cent of the gross receipts {or his share. He will not agree to any other terms, Eddie McBride, who is negodtfating for Terry here, says McGovern wants to Split the purse. Britt said last night: ‘After Satur- day night I’m through with the show game. Iam going to New York to have at least two fights in Philadelphia. I will agree to fight McGovern at the weight he names. I will also accept his terms, and .hus hoipe to beat Nelson to the match. I will also fight any one my that the New York Press says Henceforth I'm and not an weight is entitied to a match. Jimmy Britt, the fighter, actor.’”’ HANNAMANS DEFEATED THE JOLLY FIVES.

Jeffries as a worid’s champion pugi- | list, but he may, with all becoming mod- | esty, aspire to be as good an actor as, any vor all of the gentlemen set forth, | aye, ever as tall a Thespian as Jimmie Britt, catch weights. Dr. Hetherington, director of athletics at Missouri State University, has been roundly abused for his strict adhesion to :he amateur spirit, as well as letter, in his direction of football at M. 8. U. It may be that Missouri does not turn out great football players under Dr. Hetherington's supervision. It is also a good bet that she does not turn out riany liars, defaulters or bank robbers. The trouble with Hetherington is that he is about three years ahead of the eollece athletic times. In 1908 they will all be doing as Hetherington has been doing for the past five years.

NACISM AFTER ~ RACIAL DECISION Néighbors Taboo Family Which Court) Ruled Was Not Negro But Portuguese. Special to| the Post-Dispatch. ASHEVILLE, N. C., Dec. 5.—The_ de- cigion last week of the Federal Court in favor of| the six Gilleland girls, who brought jsuit to compel the County Board of Education to admit them to

“the white school of Averys Creek Fown- ship, has resulted in racial ostracism of the Gilleland’ and Graham families, of ee whom there are probably 500, who have intermarried, living in the mountains. The real object of the suit. it 1s said, was to establish that the Gillelands are of Portuguese, not of negro blood. In effect they were adjudged to be whites, but their white neighbors have ostra- cised them as never before, and the en- tire community, which before the bring- ing of the suit, felt no antagonism against the Gillelands and Grahams, is now violently antagonistic to what is termed the effort of the colored people to have thémselves declared shite. Thanksgiving Day in the Averys ¢ reek Township was observed by the holding of two big mass meetings at which reso- lutions were passed denouncing the de- cision of the court, calling on the Board of Education to carry the case to the

Superior Court and declaring that the

First the fingers and wrist had to be trained to strike the keys properly; then the eye and mind had to be trained to read and understand the printed musio and the ear to detect any false harmony. After all this had been accomplished the musician had to keep up daily practice or it was all more or less forgotten in a short time. 3 The necessity of all this preparation and practice has now been done away with since the advent of the wonderful Apollo Concert Grand Piano Player. Today a 10-year-old child of average intelligence can roll an Apollo Concert Grand Piano Player up to the piano, insert a perforated roll of musice—say, for example, the grand, inspiring Tannhauser overture—and play it better than the average finished musician. The Apollo Concert Grand Piano Player is the only instrument of its kind in the world. While there are many other so-called

All others are incom- plete, for they don’t play over 65 The Apollo Concert Grand Piano Player contains fourteen (14) other points of ste perior‘ty over all oth- ers, among which are 4 transposing device, which per- mits the key of any composition to be instantly changed to suit the voice of any singer or accompany- ing instrument—such as violin. mandolin, cornet, clarinet, flute, ete.
