New-York tribune., 1911-11-05

"SoH Caruso an Angelus Piano,
First and only player piano he has
purchased Great tribute 10 artistic
supremacy BY world's greatest singer.
Signor Caruso made this choice after
satisfying himself that no other instrument
among the many player-pianos on the
market possessed equal Aexibility Of control
or the same marvellous facility Of expression
for accompanying the human voice in all
its work, from the simplest ballad to the
most exacting operate ana.
In its artistic significance, Signor
Caruso's selection of the
ANGELUS is one of the most
important events in the modern
history of music.
There is a vast difference in an artist beng
given an instrument or beng paid to use a
particular make for advertising purposes, and
his voluntarily coming forward 10 purchase
the instrument he knows to be the best.
This action of the worlds greatest
singer should serve as a guide to
those contemplating the purchase

Gipsy Smith Strikes
Blow at Open Town

"God bless the man who is try
ing to clean up the saloons of Ia
coma," said Gipsy Smith in his
prayer last night; and everyone
knew that he meant Commissioner
Petit.
The great evangelist has been
told both sides OF the question OF
open" or CLOSED" town here.
/ am not one of those who
would ask a Roosevelt or a Gypsy
Smith equals in their different
spheres) to jeopardize their influ-
ence with a divided audience for
my political advantage. l despise
those who did it with Roosevelt
on both sides of our last CAM
paign. To me great man is too
sacred to be caJoled into my
ranks, used, and thrown aside.
But in helping Mr.. Petit, l
know l am helping get a better
Tacoma.
1t is some time before the
spring campaign, but the anti
Petit papers are busy. They are
too wise to praise Gipsy Smith for
his anti-saloon attitude in one col
umn, and blame Petit for the
same thing in another. So they
call him inefficient, his police
mere dolls, because they do not
stop the hold-up epidemic that is
sweeping the coast cities.
But they kept up steady fire
of criticism Of the police before,
SO it has not much effect now.
They did it also when We had a
good police force once years ago;
they bayed at Fackler, honest
watchdog of Mayor Campbell's
time.
The Reason for 1t.
And 1t is all because the vice
syndicate is losing money on vice
by honest Pettit's rigid enforce
ment of the law
After the brief glimpse into
heaven afforded Tacoma by the
glorious prophet, Gipsy Smith, we
have a clearer vision of our local
situation.
A good man, not ''incompetent"l
or lacking ability, but possessed of
sound Judgment, ''horse sense,"I
is trying, against fearful odds, to
make a cleaner Tacoma.

While his son, Joseph, aged 22,
lay sleeping in his room at the
Sherman hotel here early today,
Samuel P. Ayres, so, formerly of
Boston, sent bullet into the
young mans brain and then ended
his own life.
Hotel attaches found the elder
man sitting upright in bed with a
revolver clutched in his right
hand. Blood was streaming from
a wound in the roof of his mouth
and he died before medical aid ar
rived without making statement.
Joseph Ayres, unconscious, lay
on the bed with a gaping wound
in the back of the head. He was
rushed to a hospital, where it was
said he would die.
No reason is known for the
shooting, as both men were well
supplied with money. Ayres and

Mrs. Drexel saw the man tsep
from the bushes at the roadside.
When he was about 25 feet away
he leveled a revolver and called
out:
Hands up.'l
Mrs. Drexel slipped her purse
containing $40 under the seat and

AS she passed the highwayman
her horse swerved. A second later
