SUPER-NORMAL
BOY WONDER HAS
ABNORMAL VOICE
(By Associated Press)

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 80. = Elect.
ed to place among the child prodi-
eies of the day and to seat among
the marvellous singers of the land
Robert Murray, age II, of Tacoma
Is a robust, healthy boy and normal
in every way except in music. There
he is "super-normal."
The youth, who startled New York
opera stars and critics recently by
sounding the highest note ever re-
corded by the human voice and by in
terpreting arias from grand operas
like a professional, has been regarded
as musical genius by his parents
since early childhood. He showed an
instructive musical taste and under
standing before he was old enough to
go to school, and his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick Murray, early placed
him under the training of the best
teachers here. The father is a well
known Tacoma attorney.
A year ago Madame Frances Aida,
the grand opera singer, heard Robert
sing while she was on tour of the
west. She was enthused with his
voice, and it was largely her commen-
dation that led Mr.. Murray to send
his son to New York last January. He
has been studying in the metropolis
since last March under Polak and
Haywood.
"The specialists tell us that Roberts
throat is very extraordinary" his
father says. "The nasal resonating
chamberys are unusually large, and
the voice is of exceptional quality and
range. The boy has always had real
genius for music. He has an intuitive
feeling for Interpretation and a re-
markable, almost Photographic, men,
cry for all compositions hat he
studies
Dr.. +. f. Marafield, Caruso's voice
builder, has devoted much attention to
the boy, and he recently wrote the
father as follows:
Your son has the qualifications as
to musicianship artistic temperament.
vocal organs and voice of the highest
order so that l am able to say that
he will be a dramatic lyric tenor Of
the first rank. Caruso heard your son
for 40 minutes, and he confirms my
Judgment. ! consider his future ca
rcer SO per cent of a certainty"
1T has been my privilege to train
some of the great American voices"
wrote Frederick Haywood, "and | am
convinced that YOUR son is destined to
be one of the great"

WOULD ABOLISH
TAX COMMISSION
(By Associated Press)

WINNEMUCCA, New, Nov. 80. -
4 move for the abolishment of the
Nevada state tax commission and
scme other commissions at the coming
session of the legislature, and for
drastic reductions in state expenses
has been started by the Nevada Live
Stock association, which met here re-
Gently.
w. C. Noteware, an expert on land
values and taxes, said the Legislature
would be presented with balance
sheet showing that ranchers and live
stock raisers cannot continue in busl-
ness at the present rate Of taxation
and the present prices they receive.
Noteware is preparing a table which
will be presented to the Legislature,
showing how taxes have outgrowl:
production while at the same time the
states population has decreased in
the last ten years.
j. Sheehan, state senator-elect, and
w. A. Brown, assenblyman-elect, eX-
pressed themselves as in accord with
the Live Stock association, Sheehan
saying he believed cut of so per
cent could be made in state expenses
without affecting the efficiency. Re-
ferring to the plan to build new
prison, Sheehan said:
with a population Of only $1,000
they must think we are all criminals
if we build new prison"
