Are You a Concert-Goer?
DO you love good music and get alto
gether too little of it? Then we are
especially anxious for you to hear the Am
pico Reproducing Piano. It is a new in
vention which means so much to music
and music-lovers that its importance can
scarcely be exaggerated.
The Ampico actunjly reproduces the interpretationa
of the greatest living pianists so faithfully that the re
production cannot be distinguished from the original.
This has been proved again and again by "compar
ison concerts" at which the Ampico has stood the
test of direct comparison with the playing of
distinguished concert artists. Philip Hale, the
distiugwshed critic of the Boston Herald, Mid in
renewing one of these concerts: "It was not easy
to betieoc thai tJiere was a mechanical reproduction.
The impression was made that the pianist was play,
tng then and tlwrt."
Think what it would mean to have such an Instrument in your mm
o be able to suminrm at will thf irrcateat living pianist
and chocs your awn program -classical ,.T popular, old time me lo
diea, light aprra, or the laieat dauee hit. Ad tf you like of course,
tbe Ampico may be used as a player piano, playing any sud!
id roll to which you may impart your own interpretation.

SOLDIER NABS NEGRO
WHO RAN OVER HIM
As proof of the stamina and "grit"
evidenced by Uncle Ham's soldiers, po
lice point to the feat of (leorge 1.
Vaughn, Memphian, discharged soldier,
who. after being knocked down by an
automobile and severely bruised, gave
chase and nabbed his man.
The affair occurred at Main street
and Vance avenue early Sunday night.
An automobile occupied by four ne
groes sped past Vaughn and his two
women companions, knocking Vaughn
down as he shoved the women out of
danger. The soldier's hand was cut and
leg bruised.
Undaunted, he sprang up. hailed a
passing ear and gave chase to the ne
groes, who speeded up. After several
blocks' pursuit the negroes abandoned
the car and Vaughn followed suit. He
proved a good sprinter and nabbed one
of tho negroes, giving his name as
John Morris, and was forced to tell
who his companions were.
Vaughn resides at 23U North Second
street. The rase was docketed for trial
late Monday.

RELIEVES ESTATE OF
INHERITANCE TAX
Judge Young, of the First circuit
court, Monday decided a case in which
he declared that brothers and sisters
may inherit property one from the oth
er without being required under the
law to pay a collateral Inheritance tax.
The suit In question was that of Mrs.
Mary A. Hnced, wife of a former chief
justice of the supreme court, against
the state.
The state sought to collect collateral
Inheritance tat of 5 per cent from Mrs.
Sliced, who was left a considerable es
tate by her brother, Robert A. Shep
herd, who died three years ago. Through
her attorneys, W. J. Borsje and H. M.
Barton, she denied liability for the tax
upon the. ground that a proper construc
tion of the various tax statutes a broth
er or sister, as the case, may he, are
not liable for the tax when inheriting
an estate the one from the other,
Judge Young upheld the contention of
Mrs. Sneed and relieved her of pay
ment of the tax, which amounted to a
large sum. This tax for a number of
years has been paid in by brothers and
sisters without controversy and this Is
the first time the question has ever
been raised in this county.
WILL RESUME PRACTICE.
Frank Glankler, who has been In the
aviation service for the past 15 months,
has been mustered out and has re
turned to Memphis. He will resume his
law practice as the associate of Law
rence Monteverde, with offices In the
North Memphis Savings bank building.
