German piano maker corruptly seeking secret tone methods
A German piano maker traveled to the United States to study and steal the secret of superior tone. He worked as a journeyman in a New York piano factory, prompting official dismissals of several newly hired German workers to remove the suspected trader. The threat remains uncertain as he may still be active in another shop. Also noted is a vast global investment of 202,020,000 in submarine cables spanning 64,000 miles.
