of a musical instrument This principle in
Its perfected form is found exemplihed in the
Pianola, the Metrostye Pianola the PianoIa
Piano. the Aeolian, the OrchestreIle, and the
Aeolian Pipe Organ.
When the production OF music depended alto
gether upon the dexterity OF the fingers the
piano and the organ remained as a sealed book
TO the great majority OF mankind. OF the
thousands who devoted the best years of their
lives to a so-called study OF music"-Cwhch
master technique)-comparative few ever
reached a point of proficiency satisfying 10
themselves or their friends. If for any cause
the daily grinding practice relaxed. the
ability to play acceptabiy departed with it.
II recognized that the most difficult
feature in learning to play the piano the
organ was OF a mechanical nature. The fingers
must be trained to a machine like precision
before even the notes would be sounded In the
order and manner prescribed by the composer
Could not some mechanical means be devised
10 perform the purely mechanical work involved
in playing thus leaving the mind OF the per-
former free to put In the expression and the
feeling?
II is this that has been accomplished in the

A GROUT-CASSATT CLASH
z. II. II. ASKS Il FRANCHISE.
May Be Part of the Fight Bet7Ueen
McCarren and Murphu.

Sensational remarks from President Cassatt,
Vfce-President Samuel Rea and Albert B. Board
man, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, rejecting on
the fairness Of Controller Grout are expected
this forenoon at the meeting OF the Sinking
Fund Commission
The Pennsylvania officials practically charge
that Controller Grout Is interfering with them in
their attempts to push forward the excavation
work at the site OF the new Pennsylvania ter
minaL The Controller, on the other hand, says
that the Pennsylvania people trying to OBJ
tain from the city new franchise for nothing.
and that he will not allow it to be done.
Back OF the controversy the New-York Con-
tracing and Trucking Company looms up as
possible factor with Grout and McCarren on the
one hand against Murphy Gaffney, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company and Mayor Nc
Clean on the other hand. The Mayor Is not
taking hand either way, but his sympathies
are supposed to be with the Murphy interests.
The Pennsylvania company some time ago
asked to trade pier privileges with the New
York Central Railroad Company. which has
lease of the pier at West Thirty-second-st. This
Is near the excavation work of the railroad
company, and President Cassatt induced the
New-York Central interests TO consent to the
Pennsylvania's use of the pier in exchange for
similar occupancy of the pier at Thirty-sixth..
St, leased by the Pennsylvania people The
ond-st, near the waterfront. This Controller
Grout objected to, alleging that it constituted
new franchise. and that the company could
not have it except under certain conditions
me company asserts that it has been ready for
d long time to pay any rental demanded by the
CITY but 1t declares that Controller Grout has

The Controller yesterday said he had not
changed his opinion with reference to the pro-
posed occupancy of the city's streets by the
Companys tracks. He regarded il as tanta-
mount to new franchise, and he was opposed
to granting franchises until he knew lust what
was wanted and how much the city would get
for them.
