Assistant Attorney General
Wants Full Investi-
CATION

Washington, .. c., March 21.-"This
Office courts an investigation of any
charges which r. G. Campbell or any
body else has made in connection with

states that he will not resign until a

freed from suspicion He denies that
his resignation has been rendered.
Charges have been preferred against
Mr. Tyner's office repeatedly in the

Little Rock. Feo IA. 1903
What appears to be another bare
faced attempt on the part of per-ons
having no standing in the music trade
to do business on the name and repu-
tation Of a well known firm is that
which comes to light at Arkansas City,
Kas. According to information receiv-
cd from this city. the 50 tailed Thomp-
son Piano Co. recently made efforts 70
secure business by the use of mislead-
ing advertisements. in which it was
claimed that they had "A large factory
in Chicago. H., and it was evident in
every way that they desired to do bus
mess, and, in fact, did do business in
Arkansas City on the reputation Of the
Thompson Piano Co, of Chicago,
which is a reputable firm N every way.
Their card, inserted in the Travel
er." of Arkansas City, stated that the
q Thompson Piano Co, were manufac-
turers, Wholesale and retail dealers
and that the members of hte company
were as follows: G. w Thompson,
president: S. II. Thompson, secretary;
F. l. Thompson. treasurer, and c. G.
Thompson, to whom no office was as
signed In connection with this ad'
vertisement, they printed an illustra-
ton purporting to be their factory in
Chicago.
In addition to the Thompson a,
Sons piano. which the concern claim
ed to be the product of, our Chicago
factory" but which the regular dealers
OF Arkansas City claim was cheaT
stencil, this so called Thompson Piano
Co., also advertised to sell several
well known makes of pianos. including
the Chickering and Hazelton, which
the Arkansas City dealers say they
never had on their floor al any time
during the brief business life of the
concern inthat city.
AS soon as the reputable Thompson
Piano Co. Of Chicago. heard Of th'
nse that was being made of their name
in Arkansas City, they mailed a posta
card TO the head of every family IL
the city and vicinity. making it plaiI
that they had no branch houses, anC
that any representations to the con
trary were fraudulent.
When the Arkansas City Thompson
saw that it was getting warm fo
them they had notice of the "dissolu
ton" of their corporation published il
the newspapers. Their store wa
closed by the sheriff under an execu
ton secured by the wife of G. w
Thompson in a divorce action. Th'
members Of the concern then left tn
city. This was not done, however
until after they had disposed of mum

Caution"

The Indicator, March II, 1903, Chi
cago, III
The Thompson Piano Co. of this
city, have sent out to the trade a
printed postal card the contents Of
which are of peculiar interest in view
Of some recent occurrences. The card
runs as follows:
Beware of limitations. The only
original and genuine Thompson piano
is manufactured by he old reliable
Thompson Piano Co. of Chicago. es-
tablished 1870 We have no branch
stores. All genuine Thompson pianos
have nameplate on fallboard of which
the accompanying cut is facsimile" !"
1t is probable that the Thompson
Piano Co. have taken this step be-
cause of the fact that there exists an
other Thompson Piano Co., who claim
to be manufacturers also. The state
ment that I'VE have no branch stores
seems to be especially designed to
show all patrons Of the local Thomp-
son Piano Co. that there is no con
nection between It and the other con
cern.

paid the Barnes board amounted TO
only little over $500, as against

Attorne, General Roberts held that
the Barnes board since it had been
declared toe legal body by the courts,
rlust be paid for it's services. Mr..
Eaxter sought his opinion before pay

also made the Jenkins board an illegal
