Expert on Indian Music added
To Staff of National Museum Here
Miss Densmore Makes Life York Of Collecting,
Studying and Preserving Tribal Songs of
american AboriginaIs.

more than they would to their own
children.
The bureau of American ethnoIogy
is supporting the work for two rea-
sons. Miss Densmore's collections
have furnished a wealth of themes
and ideas to prominent composers
who have been able to reproduce
something of the spirit of the old
time Indians. At the same time they
will prove valuable in the future to
the Indians themselves-practica
the only record of their tribal his
tory.
Indian music, Miss Densmore says,
is unique. 1t is often an expression
of deeply involved, childlike panthe-
ism, constructed with subtle mechan-
ism of notes. The accuracy with
which it has been passed from genera
ton to generation without any written
notation and retained solely in the
memory is considered marvellous.
Miss DenSmore's work adds another
link - the chain which connects the
North American tribes with Asia,
where they are presumed to have
originated. She finds that Indian
music. widely different in conception
and construction from anything in
Europe or Africa, bears a-strikinG re-
semblance to the music of Chinese
and japanese. 1t is an expression of
the independence and pride of the red
man with nothing of the senti-
mentality about it that sometimes
marks negro or Caucasian melodies.
Much of its effect is lost, Miss
Densmore says, when rendered on a
piano and she warns against expert
menting with the themes she has
worked out on that instrument. She
finds one of the best accomplishments
to Indian songs a mere beating time
with stick against a table top.

TAX CASES
DISMISSED
Judge COfTey Delivers Decis-
ion From Bench

Judge James A. Coffcy, in district
court late yesterday, delivered an
opinion from the bench dismissing
the cases brought by Burleigh coun-
ty against the Standard Oil Com
pany and international Harvester
Company in which the county
sought to collect taxes alleged to be
die uonf assessment of corporate
excess of the companies. The tax
spread against the !. II. c. was
$4,000 and against the Standard Oil
Company $4,000.
The motion to dismiss was grant
ed by Judge Coffey on the ground
that there was no law authorizing
the imposition of the tax on foreign
corporations and that the action of
the county board was null and void
The supreme court, he found, had
decided that the law under which
action was taken by the county, did
not apply to foreign corporations.
The representatives of the corpor-
ations contended that no county
previously had attempted to con
strue the law to this effect, al
though the law had been in effe,t
prior to 1897.
