The Piano that EV-
ERYBODY can play with
feeling and expression--the
LAUTER PLAYERPI-
ANO.

TheLauter Playerpiano has proven
itself to be boon of inestimable value
to hundreds of families. 1t has made
music possible in many home where
formerly the old style piano was but
seldom in use.
Wherever the Lauter Playerpiano
has gone it has won the warmest praise
from every member of the family; it
has made a PLAYER OF EVERY
ONE in the home.
This remarkable instrument is not
appreciated, even dimly, by those who
have not seen and examined it for
themselves. With it the non-player
can play and play with feeling and
expression.
You may never have put finger to
keyboard, but after a brief explanation
of the uses of the different controlling
levers, you can play the Lauter Player
piano, securing the mostdelightful and
artistic effects.
This machine is wonder of eff
ficiency. You select the music roll Of
the composition you prefer; you place
it in the spool box; you begin to play
by using the treadles.
Every class Of musical composition
can be played by the non-player on
this instrument-classical, popular,
operate, dance, vocal, patriotic, etc.
Not only is this superb piano
for playing automatically, but it can
also be played by hand in the usual
way, and it is for this purpose most
delightful instrument. 1t is literally
TWO PIANOS IN ONE.

A SPEEDWAY PROPOSED.
To Utilize the Land Along the Route
of the sewer Pipes.


One of our well-known citizens has
made the suggestion that the long
strip of land to be acquired for the
trunk line Of the sewer system, run
ming as it does on an even grade would
make an ideal place for the speedway
that the horsemen have been talking
about for so long. His idea is to lay
out a wide highway, possibly a hun
dred feet in width, containing speed
course and drives and walks outside,
starting at Ridgedale avenue and fol-
lowing the pipe line clear to the Hid
farm, distance of nearly two and a
half miles. Whenever the tract wild
ems out beyond the width of the road,
he would have trees or parks and util-
ize the portion OF the Hid farm near
thy river in the same way, making
possibly turn through the farm and
back to the Monroe road. By little
change in the location of the roads it
would be possible to get a half mile
straight away course from the Horse
Hill road on to the Hid farm, or if the
present road was improved along the
four thousand feet frontage of the
Hid tract, the straight course could
be considerably heightened.
Such a scheme is feasible, but of
course would cost considerable for
grading, the erection of bridge near
the old Knights pond dam, etc, and
the citizen offers good sized contri-
button toward the expense. Such a
scheme would relieve the present con-
ditions at Malcolm street by opening
road into that street. and should also
be connected with Washington place,
giving connection to the upper end
/ of Morris avenue Then again to
make the drive the thing of beauty
which it should be, a strip of land
along the opposite side of the Whip
pany river should be secured nearly
to Hanover avenue.

Pekin, Dec. PA long edict, eqi-

throne. It expresses the earnest hope
that eventually a constitution will
be given to the people, but no date
is fixed. 1t assets the hopelessness
of the efforts to make the country
powerful and declares that the peo-
Plies voices must not be raised higher

that the people must be satisfied that

The Tsu Cheng Yuan, or the gov

are existent.

Considerable i Speculation Is

This Step

Directed Movement Of
BaiIlelship Fleet

Washington, ID. Ct, Dec. Dill
gent inquiry from Rear Admiral Bron-4
son, from Secretary Metcaif and at
the White House failed to develop the
reason for the resignatio Of Admiral
Bronson, announced today.
Two theories have been advanced
as being sufficient IN themselves to-
/ bring forth the letter of resignation.
One OF these reasons lis that the adj
IniraI finds himself unable to agSee
with the ideas of the presid lent re-,
gRrding certain innpo rtant policies to
be pursued BY the bureau Of naviga-
\ tion.
/ The other reason is that the rear
admiral, being on the retired list Of
{ the navy, may not be legally con-
frmed by the senate TO an appoint
nlsnt to active duty.
AdmiraH Bronson's appointment ais
chief Of the bureau Of avigation was
made by the presid lent during the re-
cess Of congress. It is customary for
the names Of recess appointees to go
TO the senate on hts next couVening
4 after Doint ments have been na,des
In the present case and because Of
the uncertainty Of the right Of retir-
ed naval officers to be assigned to ac-
gStive duty, Admiral Bnonson's name
\ has been withheld from the senate
1 pending the rendering Of legal opin-:
I ion in the case. The resignation and
\ It's acceptance will obviate the rails,
ing Of q uestion between the legisla-
tive departments Of the government
IA 81 to the right OF retired officers to
bs appointed 10 active duty in time
of peace. IS .si%
Since Admiral Bronson took com
mand of the bureau of navigation,
that bureau has had TO handle the
question Of the cruise OF the Atlantic
fleet to the Pacific, the greatest peace
Il move of the navy during its history.
Commander Winslow, who. has been
designated to act as the head Of the
3 navigation bureau, has for some time
been assist ant to Admiral Bronson,
and cons auently is familiar with the
duties OF the bureau. However, 1T il
known that Commander Winslow Is
anxious to obtain command Of the new
battleship New Hampshire, SO it is
believed that his present designation
is intended to bridge over the inter
val during which the president can
s. make a selection Of another officer.
Among the names mentioned In that
connection is that Of Captain Richard
{ spn Glover, who at present Is head Of
the board Of nspection and survey,
and who was considered for that place
at The time. Admiral BronsoI's term
Of active service expired. and it was
supposed that he was to give way
n to an officer on the active list. An
other name which 1T Is know has been
considered III connection with the va
cancy is that of Lieut. tenant Command
ssr VIM. s. Sims, who is one Of the
presidents aides, and who has attain
ed eminence in the navy BY his expert
