Home
The
Solo Orchestrelle
I he liolo Orchestrelle is at once the most distinctive and
most modern of musical instruments.
It has already been installed in a great number of representa
tive homes, throughout the United States and Europe.
No instrument, with the exception of certain members
of the violin family, is so responsive to the performer's
muiical feeling, as the Solo Orcheatrelle.
In effect it makes its player master of net one,
but all the more important instruments of a
symphony orchestra.
W übout previous musical training, the per
former may by means of perforated rolls, play
music on the Solo Orchestreile, such as is never
heard avtiidt •/" the opera-how.c or concert hall.
He controls the Solo Orchestrelle, as the leader of an orchestra
controls his players. The music the performer on the Orchestrelle
produces however, reflects far more of his own personality than the
music cf the orchestra reflects that of its conductor.

accept loans to pay for the "yellow dog" stocks
which he had purchased for the Heinze firm.
On Wednesday morning a conditional offer of
$150,000 was made by Otto Heinze & Co., but
was refused, as the total indebtedness^ of the
}'. in/.>- linn to my clients was between $400,000
and $500,000. We waited until nearly 2:l. r » p. m.
Wednesday and then announced our Insolvency.
Mr. Myers said that proceedings would be
started at once to compel the Heinze firm to
make good to his clients the amount due for
the purchases of United Copper stock. As soon
as such pettlement is made Gross & Kleeberg
will apply to the Stoc*k Exchange authorities
for reinstatement to full privileges.
Mr. Myers also said that he had received an
offer of $200,000 yesterday morning from F.
Augustus Heinze, but had refused it. This of
fer, he said, came through Davis, Stone & Auer
bach, of counsel for F. Augustus Heinze. Mr.
Myers added that he had it on excellent author

ready cash on Monday to finance the United
Copper deal.
At tho omef of .1. & W. Sel'fnnan & Co. it wa-'
6:ilil yesterday that Gross & Kleeberg had not
appealed to them for aid before making an
assignment Had they done so. It was stated,
they would have received whatever assistance
had been necessary. That they did not do so,
it was inferred, was because their affairs were

sidiaries) were cut In two at a meeting of the
directors of the companies yesterday. The Amal

1 per cent, or at the rate of 4 per cent yearly,
and the Boston and Montana dividend was re
duced from $2 a share and HO extra to ?2 and
$4 extra. Th" announcement Of the reduction
in the Amalgamated dividend was made Just
before the close of the Stock Exchange, and
caused a crash In prices, as It had been generally
expected that l'« per cent would be declared
for the quarter. Last July, when copper was
selling around 28 cents a pound, the directors
put the stock on a regular 8 per cent yearly
basis.

ficient to pay the creditors in full. Inability to

made by Senator Thomas F. Qrady, of New York,
