He was bonded by the Aetna indemnity
company for either $4,000 or $4,000.

When asked if he would prosecute,
Haag said that the policy of the bank

by the culprit.

ATTORNEY WILL ARRAIGN
HATFIELD FOR MURDER
Friends of Durham to Testify
as to Identity of Texas
SUSPECT
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JOSE, Nov. 5.--District Attor-
ney Free states that a formal charge
of murder Will be placed against James
c. Dunham tomorrow for the Staying of
the McGlincy family near Campbell IL
years ago. William Hatfield, the sus-
pect, who was arrested two months ago
and who was extradited from Texas,
will be arraigned on the charge and
at the examination former friends and
acquaintances of Durham will be placed
on the stand to testify in regard to
Hatfeld's identity.
The proceeding Will undoubtedly re-
suit in the freedom of Hatfield, as, with
the exception of one or two slight ac-
quaintances of Dunhams, all who have
seen the prisoner are positive that he
is not the murderer.
Since Hatfeld's Incarceration fully
$4,000 and possibly 10000 men, women
and children have fought their way
into the county prison yard to get a
glimpse of Hatfield and the demands on
the time and strength of Jailer Nina

An 88 note player piano
that can be operated
without fatigue---re eady now

that completely tires the operator is far
from being a source of real enjoyment.
These lightweight note Farrand-
Cecilians can be played either by hand
like an ordinary piano or mechanically
as Piano. All the standard sixty-fve
note rolls can be played upon them as
we'll as the new eighty-eight note rolls,
so that no music need be destroyed.
The most remarkable feature Of this
new instrument, aside from the fact that
it plays the entire key board, is that its
Player mechanism is composed entirely of
metal, which is by long odds the most
vital mechanical improvement ever made
in Piano Player construction.
Steel, brass and bronze are used for all
air chambers, valves and connections. in
stead of wood as heretofore, thus doing
away with the difficulties of contraction
or expansion occasiOned by climatic
changes, heat or dampness which have
always caused so much trouble in the
wooden action found in all Piano
Players
1t is really an instrument of eminent
Importance and will prove to be OF great
interest to all those people who are inn
pressed with the fact that they want a
PLAYER Piano, but wish to be assured
that they are getting the very best that
money can buy.
We have one in our Kearny street
window which you might examine while
YOU are passing. 1t makes very in
teresting display.
The San Francisco call., 1908-11-06

Heretofore Player Pianos have either
been limited to the use of only sixty-hve
out of the eighty-eight notes of the
piano, or if they played the entire range
of the piano key board, were such tax
upon the muscles of the legs and ankles
that the fatigue of operating them was
greater than the pleasure they afforded.
Every one knows that the really beau
tiful pieces of music require the entire
key board of the piano for their proper
execution and that in rewriting them to
fit the sixty-hve note player much of the
brilliancy of the original music had to be
eliminated
The Objectionable fact that Player
Pianos only operated sixty-fve out of the
lightweight notes was overcome some
time ago by the introduction of eighty
eight note players, but it was only with
the perfection of the lightweight note
Farrand-Cecilian that both ease in opera
ton and the playing of the entire key
board were combined.
These instruments are now being
demonstrated upon the seventh floor of
our building, Kearny and Sutter streets,
at our store at 1855 Van Ness avenue,
and also in Our Oakland store, and are
we'll worth seeing. They signify rad
ical Improvement in Player Pianos and
should be thoroughly investigated before
any other Player IS purchased.
Ultimately all Player Pianos will play
the eighty-eight notes, but all will never
be easy to operate, and any instrument.
