,,preface   ,this book has been prepared
 with the purpose of furnishing students
 of journalism and young reporters with 
a large collection of typical news      
stories4 ,for college classes it may be 
used as a textbook4 ,for newspaper      
workers it is offered as a handbook to  
which they may turn1 in a particular    
case1 to find out what news to get1     
where to get it1 and how to present it  
effectively4 ,every young writer on a   

newspaper is called upon to do kinds of 
reporting in which he lacks experience4 
,if1 with the aid of an index1 he can   
turn readily to several instances where 
more experienced writers have solved    
problems like his own1 he will undertake
 his new task with a clearer idea of    
what to do and how to do it4  ,for      
systematic instruction in news writing  
it is desirable that students have in   
convenient form representative stories  
for study and analysis4 ,newspapers1 it 
might be thought1 would furnish this    
material1 but experience has shown that 
it is often difficult to find1 in       
current issues of newspapers1 examples  
of the particular kind of story under   
consideration1 and it is likewise       
difficult to supply every student in a  
large class with a copy of the issue    
that happens to contain the desired     
example4  ,the selection of specimens   
for this book has been determined       
largely by two considerations3 first1   
that the news which the story contains  

should be typical1 rather than          
extraordinary or 8freakish02 and second1
 that the story should present the news 
effectively4 ,it has been assumed that  
the student must first learn to handle  
average news well in order to grapple   
successfully with extraordinary         
happenings4 ,a considerable part of the 
book deals with more or less routine    
news1 because it is with this type that 
a large portion of the reporter's work  
is concerned4  ,since newspapers are    
read rapidly1 it has been taken for     
granted that a story is most effective  
when its structure and style enable the 
reader to get the news with the least   
effort and the greatest interest4 ,many 
pieces of news can best be treated in a 
simple1 concise style1 with the         
essential facts well massed in a summary
 lead4 ,such straightforward            
presentation does not mean that the     
style must be bald and unoriginal4 ,the 
examples illustrative of this purely    
informative type of news story are      

generally marked by a simplicity and    
directness of expression that are       
characteristic of good journalistic     
style4  ,informative news stories in    
which the so-called 8human interest0    
element has been developed have also    
been included in considerable number1   
not only because they are perennially   
popular1 but because some news may be   
presented very effectively by bringing  
out its human interest phases4 ,as a    
type distinct from these stories with   
news of some value are those            
entertaining and appealing stories1     
containing little or no real news1 that 
are generally known as 8feature0 or     
8human interest0 stories4 ,both of these
 types illustrate the application to    
news writing of recognized methods of   
fiction4 ,the use of these methods is   
entirely commendable4 ,the danger for   
the reporter lies in failure to         
discriminate between fiction and its    
methods4 ,to use the devices of fiction 
in order to portray faithfully actual   

events is one thing2 to substitute      
fictitious details in order to heighten 
the effect is quite another4 ,no stories
 have been included in this book that   
are unquestionably fictitious4 ,some    
that may have imaginary details have    
been given to furnish material for      
discussion4  ,the examples presented    
here are not put forward as models for  
the student to imitate in every respect4
 ,few news stories are perfect in       
structure and style4 ,the conditions    
under which they are written and edited 
make careful revision almost impossible4
 ,for the purpose of analysis1 work that
 is not so well done as it might have   
been is valuable as showing the student 
what to avoid in his own writing4  ,the 
stories have been grouped in chapters   
partly on the basis of subject matter   
and partly on that of the methods used4 
,this arrangement has been adopted not  
as a complete classification of news1   
but rather as a convenient grouping for 
purposes of study4 ,in each chapter has 

been included a brief discussion of the 
chief points to be considered in        
analyzing and in writing the type of    
story in that division4 ,none of the    
points has been treated at length owing 
to lack of space and to the fact that   
most of them have been taken up in      
detail by the author in another         
textbook1 8,newspaper ,writing and      
,editing40  ,attention has been called  
in each chapter to the underlying       
purpose that should determine the       
selection and the presentation of the   
kind of news included in that group4    
,this has been done in the belief that  
the reporter should consider carefully  
the probable effect on the reader of    
every story that he writes4 ,since 8the 
food of opinion is the news of the day10
 the kind of food that he serves and the
 manner in which he serves it is a      
matter of consequence1 not only to him  
and his newspaper but to society as a   
whole4 ,not until a reporter realizes   
the influence that his news stories may 

have on the ideas and ideals of         
thousands of readers1 does he appreciate
 fully the significance of his work4    
,the possibilities of what has been     
termed 8constructive journalism0 have   
been dwelt upon at some length because  
it is evident that well-edited papers   
are undertaking more and more to present
 the news so that it will have a        
wholesome effect on their readers4  ,the
 selections in this book have been taken
 from daily newspapers in all parts of  
the country and may be said to          
illustrate current practice4 ,the name  
of the paper has been attached to each  
example1 not only in acknowledgment of  
the credit due1 but in an effort to lead
 the student to consider the story from 
the point of view of the policy of the  
paper and of the character of the       
readers to whom it appeals4 ,the student
 should compare all of the stories taken
 from each paper and should1 if         
possible1 examine the current issues4   
,although it has not seemed desirable to

 print the examples in so small type as 
that commonly used in newspapers1 the   
column width has been retained in order 
to reproduce1 as far as possible1 the   
effect of the original form4 ,headlines 
have not been given because they are not
 an integral part of the story4 ,in a   
few instances stories have been         
condensed when it was possible to do so 
without destroying the effect4 ,for     
obvious reasons names and addresses have
 frequently been changed1 and errors    
that escaped notice have been corrected 
in a number of the stories4  ,the author
 is deeply indebted to ,alice ,haskell  
,bleyer for invaluable suggestions and  
criticism in connection with every      
detail of this book4    ,,university

,,chapter ,i  ,,news ,,writing          
,contents of newspapers4 ,the average   
daily newspaper includes a larger amount
 and variety of reading matter than most
 readers realize4 ,in one issue of a    
large daily paper1 which contains from  
#fj1jjj to #hj1jjj words exclusive of   
advertising1 are usually to be found    
examples of practically every type of   
literary composition4 ,the contents     
range from news of accidents and crime  
to humorous and serious verse1 from     
market reports to a short story or a    
chapter of a novel1 from dramatic and   
musical criticism to cooking recipes and
 cosmetic formulas1 from argumentative  
editorials to reports of boxing matches 
and baseball games4 ,vivid description1 
spirited narrative1 critical            
appreciation1 logical argument1 lucid   
explanation1 moving pathos1 vigorous    
appeals1 wit and humor--all are often   
exemplified in a single issue of a      
well-edited newspaper4 ,scarcely any    
other form of publication has regularly 

so great a variety of writing as the    
daily newspaper4 ,thus1 although a      
newspaper is ordinarily thought of      
solely as a medium for the publication  
of current news and editorials1 the     
average daily paper supplies its readers
 with much entertaining reading matter  
as well as considerable advice and      
useful information4  ,classification of 
contents4 ,diversified as are the       
contents of a typical daily paper1 they 
may be grouped in seven classes3 7#a7   
news stories2 7#b7 special feature      
articles2 7#c7 editorials2 7#d7         
dramatic1 musical1 and literary         
criticism2 7#e7 practical advice and    
useful information2 7#f7 humorous       
matter2 7#g7 fiction4 ,of these seven   
classes1 the first four--news stories1  
special feature articles1 editorials1   
and dramatic1 musical1 and literary     
criticism--are generally considered to  
be the distinctly journalistic types of 
writing4  ,news stories present 7#a7    
timely events of interest and           

significance to readers1 and 7#b7 timely
 incidents of little or no news value   
that are made entertaining by the manner
 in which they are presented4 ,the first
 is the common type of news story2 the  
second is usually called the 8human     
interest0 or 8feature0 story4 ,although 
it is sometimes said that anything that 
has ever happened is news if it has not 
been generally known1 it is evident that
 events that have occurred in the past  
are not worth publishing as news unless 
they have a timely interest and         
significance4 ,a distinction is         
generally made between 8spot news10     
which is news of events when they occur1
 and 8detail0 or 8situation0 material   
that is presented some time later in the
 form of special correspondence or of   
special feature articles4  ,special     
feature articles are detailed           
presentations of 7#a7 matters of recent 
news that are of sufficient interest to 
warrant elaboration1 7#b7 timely topics 
not directly connected with the news of 

the day1 7#c7 subjects of interest that 
are neither timely nor connected with   
current events4 ,they are informative in
 character and are generally of some    
length4 ,they are usually published in  
magazine sections of ,saturday or       
,sunday editions1 but in some papers    
they appear daily4  ,editorials have as 
their purpose the interpretation of news
 and of current issues and the          
discussion of matters of general        
interest1 particularly with a view to   
convincing readers of the truth or the  
falsity of some proposition and of      
persuading them to act in accordance    
with the convictions thus created4 ,in  
this way they differ from both news     
stories and special feature articles4   
,dramatic1 musical1 and literary        
criticism consists of reviewing and     
passing judgment on current dramatic    
performances1 concerts1 and books4 ,to  
the extent that some reviews of plays   
and concerts merely give informative    
news concerning the event1 they are like

 news stories1 but in so far as they are
 critical1 they are more like           
editorials4 ,book reviews1 likewise1 may
 simply give information regarding the  
contents of a book1 or they may         
undertake to evaluate it by pointing out
 its merits and defects4  ,practical    
advice and useful information in special
 fields1 humorous matter1 and fiction1  
as given in the daily newspaper1 do not 
differ materially from similar matter   
published in other forms and cannot be  
considered distinctly journalistic types
 of writing4  ,how news is gathered4    
,since the day's news is the essential  
part of the daily newspaper1 the        
gathering1 writing1 and editing of news 
is naturally the chief concern of       
journalism4 ,from the point of view of  
newspaper organization for handling     
news1 it is divided into two general    
classes3 7#a7 local news1 and 7#b7      
telegraph news4 ,local news1 which is   
that of the city where the paper is     
published as well as of its immediate   

vicinity1 is gathered 7#a7 by reporters 
working under the direction of the city 
editor of the paper1 and 7#b7 by        
reporters working under the direction of
 the head of a local news association or
 bureau1 the news service of which the  
paper uses to supplement its own news   
gathering4 ,telegraph news includes all 
news not local1 which comes to the paper
 by telegraph1 long-distance telephone1 
cable1 or mail1 whether sent by its own 
correspondents or by a news association 
such as the ,associated ,press or the   
,united ,press4 ,the reporters and      
correspondents of the press associations
 work under practically the same        
conditions as the newspaper's own       
correspondents1 but they are responsible
 to the division head of the press      
association1 whereas the newspaper's    
correspondents are under the direction  
of the telegraph editor or of the state 
editor of the paper4 ,the work of news  
gathering is not essentially different1 
whether done by a reporter or by a      

correspondent in the employ of a        
newspaper or of a news-gathering        
association4  ,how news is written4     
,after the reporter has obtained the    
news1 he returns to the office and      
writes his story as rapidly as possible1
 in accordance with any instructions    
that the city editor may give him4 ,if  
it is inexpedient for him to return to  
the office1 he writes his story quickly 
at some convenient place and sends it to
 the office by messenger or by          
telephone4 ,under some circumstances1   
particularly when lack of time prevents 
his writing the story and sending it in1
 he telephones the facts to a rewrite   
man in the office1 who writes the story 
from the data thus secured4 ,the        
reporter for a local news association   
prepares his stories1 as directed by the
 news editor of the association1 under  
practically the same conditions as the  
newspaper reporter4  ,the correspondent1
 after writing his story1 mails it1     
files it at the telegraph office1 or    

telephones it to the newspaper office4  
,he1 too1 may telephone the bare facts  
to have them written in news-story form 
by a rewrite man in the newspaper       
office4 ,the correspondent of a general 
news-gathering agency handles his news  
in the same way except that he sends it 
by mail1 telegraph1 or telephone to the 
district office of the association or   
agency that he represents4 ,at this     
district office it is edited and sent   
out to those papers in various parts of 
the country that use the association's  
service4  ,as news stories1 whether     
local or telegraph1 are edited before   
they are printed1 practically all       
stories as they appear in the newspaper 
are the work not only of the reporter or
 correspondent who gathered the news1   
but of one or more editors and          
copy-readers4 ,well-written stories of  
reporters and correspondents usually    
undergo little change when edited4 ,a   
poorly written story1 on the other hand1
 may be made over into a very effective 

one by a rewrite man1 an editor1 or a   
copy-reader4  ,conditions affecting news
 writing4 ,the structure and the style  
of news stories are determined 7#a7 by  
the conditions under which they are     
written1 7#b7 by the character of the   
readers1 7#c7 by the conditions under   
which newspapers are read1 7#d7 by the  
typographical form of newspapers1 and   
7#e7 by the popular taste4  ,newspaper  
writing must be done rapidly under      
considerable pressure and generally     
without opportunity for careful         
revision4 ,although this haste does not 
excuse incorrect and slovenly ,english1 
it does result in looser1 less finished 
writing than might be produced under    
more favorable circumstances4 ,in rapid 
writing1 and particularly in handling   
similar material from day to day1 the   
writer1 unless he is on his guard1 is   
likely to fall into the habit of using  
stock phrases1 trite and colorless4     
,the large amount of available news that
 must be crowded daily into limited     

space makes it essential to present the 
news in compact form and concise style4 
8,boil it down0 and 8,cut it to the     
bone0 are constant admonitions in every 
newspaper office4 ,conciseness is a     
necessary quality of newspaper style4   
,the average newspaper1 in order to     
succeed1 must appeal to all classes of  
readers in the community4 ,it must      
present its contents in a way that will 
attract and interest the so-called      
masses as well as the business and the  
professional classes4 ,the style of     
writing is generally adapted to readers 
of limited education no less than to the
 well educated4 ,comparative simplicity 
of expression1 accordingly1 is the rule 
in newspaper writing4  ,newspapers are  
read rapidly by practically all classes 
of readers4 ,they must1 therefore1 be   
written in a style that makes rapid     
reading easy4 ,important details are    
placed at the beginning of paragraphs   
and sentences1 where they will catch the
 eye at once4 ,the emphasis thus given  

by the initial position is one of the   
distinctive characteristics of newspaper
 writing4 ,to the most important details
 made prominent in this way are added   
the less significant but necessary      
particulars1 one by one1 in natural     
order4 ,this arrangement results in a   
loose rather than a periodic sentence   
structure and eliminates the possibility
 of a climactic effect in the paragraphs
 or in the whole story4  ,the shortness 
of the line in the narrow column affects
 newspaper style because it necessitates
 a proportionate shortening of the      
paragraph4 ,paragraphs that appear long 
seem heavy and uninviting1 especially to
 the rapid reader4 ,since but six words 
on an average can be crowded into a line
 in newspapers1 as compared to ten or   
twelve in a line in most books1         
newspaper paragraphs can be only half as
 long as those in ordinary prose without
 loss of effectiveness4  ,the popular   
demand for novelty and variety prevents 
any form of newspaper writing from      

becoming fixed1 and results from time to
 time in the development of new forms   
and new styles of news writing4 ,to make
 some news stories entertaining rather  
than purely informative1 a number of    
newspapers abandon the conventional     
summary beginning1 or lead1 and use     
unconventional ones like the beginnings 
of short stories4 ,they likewise give   
prominence to trivial happenings worked 
up into so-called 8human interest0 or   
8feature0 stories1 because in that form 
they make entertaining reading4         
,characteristics of news writing4 ,as a 
result of these various conditions and  
influences news writing has come to have
 certain well marked characteristics4   
,it must be 7#a7 concise1 7#b7 clear1   
7#c7 comparatively simple1 7#d7 easily  
read1 and 7#e7 attractive to all        
classes4  ,conciseness requires that    
needless words be omitted1 that only    
such details be given as are necessary  
for effective presentation of the       
subject1 and that the length of the     

story be proportionate to the importance
 of the material4 ,in order to be       
concise1 however1 news writing does not 
have to be bald and unattractive4       
,clearness is secured in journalistic   
style by comparative simplicity of      
diction1 of sentence construction1 and  
of paragraph structure4 ,learned        
diction1 elaborate figures of speech1   
and involved sentences have no place in 
news writing intended to appeal to all  
classes of readers4  ,to be attractive  
to the average rapid reader newspaper   
style must be easy to read4 ,it is made 
easy1 as has been pointed out1 by       
placing the important points in         
conspicuous positions at the beginnings 
of sentences and paragraphs4 ,to satisfy
 the popular taste newspaper writing    
must also be interesting in form and in 
style4 ,it sometimes adopts the more or 
less striking devices of fiction in     
order to add to its effectiveness4      
,furthermore1 attractiveness is secured 
by such typographical means as the use  

of a frame1 or 8box10 and bold-face     
type1 for facts of especial importance4 
,,chapter ,,ii  ,,the ,,study ,,of      
,,news ,,stories   ,value of study4     
,every good news story may be regarded  
as a solution of a difficult problem in 
gathering1 selecting1 and weaving       
together a number of details4 ,the steps
 in the solution may be as carefully    
followed as the steps in solving a      
problem in algebra or in performing an  
experiment in physics4 ,as in the       
analysis of such problems and           
experiments1 so in the analysis of news 
stories1 the ultimate purpose is to find
 out how to solve similar problems as   
they arise in actual experience4        
,however interesting the theories and   
principles of the art of news writing   
may be for themselves1 it is the        
practical application of them in the    
writer's own work that gives them their 
value for the student of journalism4    
,aims in studying news stories4 ,the    
purpose in analyzing typical examples of

 news writing should be to discover in  
detail 7#a7 how to obtain news1 7#b7 how
 to determine its value1 and 7#c7 how to
 present it most effectively4 ,most     
stories reveal the means by which their 
contents were obtained and the          
importance which the writer or editor   
attached to each of the details4        
,sources of information and standards   
for evaluating material are thus shown  
by a careful examination of examples4 ,a
 study of well-written news stories     
makes clear the application of the      
principles of prose composition to the  
writing of news4 ,a comparison of       
several news stories of the same type   
brings out the variety of ways in which 
similar material may be handled4 ,the   
writer must know the varied             
possibilities of treating material1     
because1 in working on similar matter   
from day to day1 he is in great danger  
of dropping into conventional forms and 
stereotyped expressions4  ,methods of   
analysis4 ,in the study of a news story 

the following points should be          
considered3 7#a7 the value of the news2 
7#b7 the sources of the news2 7#c7 the  
methods by which it was obtained2 7#d7  
the purpose of the story2 7#e7 the type 
of the story2 7#f7 the structure2 7#g7  
the literary style2 and 7#h7 the        
typographical style4  ,news and news    
values4 ,news1 as commonly defined1 is  
anything timely that interests a number 
of readers1 and the best news is that   
which has the greatest interest for the 
greatest number4 ,constructive          
journalism is not satisfied to present  
merely what readers are naturally       
interested in2 it aims to give news that
 is significant to them from the point  
of view of their personal affairs as    
well as from that of the welfare of     
society4 ,it likewise undertakes to     
create interest in significant news that
 of itself may not interest a           
considerable number of readers4 ,each   
story1 therefore1 should be examined in 
order to determine why the news in it   

was considered of interest and          
significance to the readers of the paper
 in which it was published1 as well as  
how great the interest and the          
significance were believed to be as     
indicated by the space given to the     
story4  ,news values are based largely  
on the reader's interest in 7#a7 timely 
matters1 7#b7 extraordinary events and  
circumstances1 7#c7 struggles for       
supremacy in politics1 business1 sports1
 etc41 7#d7 matters involving the       
property1 life1 and welfare of fellow   
men1 7#e7 children1 7#f7 animals1 7#g7  
hobbies and amusements4  ,the degree of 
the reader's interest in these matters  
of news is proportionate to 7#a7 his    
familiarity with the persons1 the       
places1 and the things involved1 7#b7   
the importance and the prominence of    
these persons1 places1 and things1 7#c7 
the closeness of their relation to the  
reader's personal affairs4  ,the        
distinction between local news and      
general news grows out of the greater   

degree of interest on the part of the   
reader in persons and places that he    
knows and in matters that are closely   
related to his business and his home4   
,news of significance concerning the    
community in which he lives is of prime 
importance to every reader4 ,interest in
 news may generally be said to vary     
inversely in proportion to the distance 
between the place where the news        
originates and the place where the paper
 is published4 ,local interest is given 
to general news by bringing out those   
phases1 or 8local ends10 of telegraph   
news that are of significance in the    
community in which the paper circulates4
  ,every story indicates the evaluation 
of the news that it presents as made by 
the reporter or correspondent1 and by   
the editor or the copy-reader4 ,by      
determining the basis of this           
evaluation1 the student acquires a      
criterion by which to judge the news    
value of whatever he is called upon to  
report4  ,sources of news4 ,from the    

details of a news story it is almost    
always possible to infer the sources    
from which the news was obtained4       
,public and private records1 reports1   
officials1 eye-witnesses1 for example1  
are often cited as authorities for the  
facts in the story4 ,these sources      
should be noted carefully1 so that they 
may be drawn upon by the student in his 
own reporting4 ,in fact1 a list of      
sources compiled from news stories of   
various kinds1 such as those of crime1  
accidents1 fires1 etc41 will be found   
helpful to the beginner4  ,methods of   
news gathering4 ,how the details of the 
news were obtained may also be          
ascertained from an examination of the  
story4 ,in the report of an interview1  
for example1 the reporter's questions   
may be inferred from the person's       
replies4 ,not infrequently the story    
shows indirectly the circumstances under
 which the reporter secured the         
material4 ,the student will do well to  
note every such hint and suggestion4    

,purpose4 ,every news story should      
present the details of the news as      
accurately as possible and as completely
 as the significance of the news        
warrants4 ,the embellishment of news    
stories with fictitious details to make 
them more interesting or more           
entertaining1 as well as the distortion 
and suppression of significant facts of 
the news in order to accomplish some    
end1 are alike opposed to the           
fundamental purpose of the newspaper4   
,besides reporting the news with        
fairness and accuracy1 however1 the     
writer1 consciously or unconsciously1   
may accomplish other ends by the manner 
in which he presents his material4 ,by  
giving prominence to certain details and
 aspects of a piece of news1 he may     
produce one effect upon the reader's    
mind2 by emphasizing others in the same 
piece of news1 he may produce an        
entirely different impression4 ,thus    
news of accidents1 crime1 courts1 and   
similar matters can be presented so as  

to exert either a wholesome or an       
unwholesome influence on readers2 that  
is1 it may be constructive or           
destructive in its effect4 ,stories of  
crime1 for example1 may be written in a 
manner that tends to make the wrongdoer 
more or less of a hero1 and hence may   
encourage others to imitate his career2 
or they may be written in a way that    
tends to deter readers from committing  
similar crimes4 ,whether wrongdoing is  
made attractive or unattractive in news 
stories depends not so much upon giving 
the facts fully and accurately as upon  
the reporter's attitude toward his      
material4  ,some newspapers simply      
record the news without emphasizing     
either its constructive or its          
destructive phases4 ,newspapers of this 
type have been likened to mirrors that  
reflect impartially whatever comes      
within their range4 ,this policy is     
expressed in the dictum of a well-known 
editor when he declared1 8,whatever the 
,divine ,providence permitted to occur1 

,i was not too proud to report40 ,purely
 informative news stories and           
entertaining feature stories in these   
papers are written without particular   
regard for their influence on readers4  
,other newspapers1 not satisfied with   
reporting the day's events in an        
accurate but colorless manner1 without  
any particular consideration for its    
effect upon their readers1 deliberately 
undertake to give news in such a way    
that it tends to be helpful and         
constructive in its influence4 ,they    
publish not merely the usual details    
regarding fires and accidents2 they     
emphasize the causes1 the               
responsibility1 and the frequency of    
such occurrences1 in order to impress   
upon readers the importance of taking   
preventive measures against the         
recurrence of such disasters4 ,they also
 recognize the fact that some legitimate
 news1 even when given in what is       
ordinarily considered an unobjectionable
 manner1 tends to have a bad effect on  

readers in that it suggests to them     
ideas and ideals inimical to the best   
interests of society as a whole4        
,so-called 8waves0 of crime and suicide 
they realize are often the result of    
suggestions given to morally unstable   
readers by newspaper stories of crimes  
and suicides4 ,by constructive treatment
 of such news1 they attempt to reduce to
 a minimum these undesirable suggestions
 and to substitute for them suggestions 
that tend to prevent similar criminal   
and anti-social acts4  ,another class of
 newspapers1 apparently disregarding the
 unwholesome effect upon their readers1 
give prominence to sensational1 ghastly1
 and scandalous phases of the news      
because they know that such details     
appeal to the morbid interest of many   
readers4 ,the not uncommon explanation  
made by these newspapers for such       
treatment of news is that they are      
giving the public what it wants4        
,critics of these papers deny the       
validity of this excuse and point out   

that it would apply equally to the      
selling of habit-forming drugs and      
adulterated food1 acts now forbidden by 
law4  ,since the underlying purpose of  
the writer plays an important part in   
the selection and the arrangement of    
material for news stories1 as well as in
 the effect that stories produce upon   
readers1 it deserves careful            
consideration in the analysis of news   
stories4  ,type of story4 ,there are two
 general types of news stories3 7#a7 the
 informative news story1 the chief aim  
of which is to give the facts of the    
news2 and 7#b7 the feature or human     
interest story1 the chief aim of which  
is to take material of little or no news
 value and make it interesting4 ,the    
fundamental difference between these two
 kinds of stories is the news value of  
the contents4 ,the presence or absence  
of so-called 8human interest0 is not the
 basis of this classification1 for      
informative news stories may be         
developed by bringing out the human     

interest element in the news4  ,the     
informative news story may be one of two
 kinds3 7#a7 the story the chief purpose
 of which is to record the facts of the 
news without particular regard to its   
effect upon the readers2 and 7#b7 the   
story that presents the facts of the    
news in such a way as to produce a      
wholesome effect4  ,the purely          
informative news story usually presents 
the facts of the news so that they can  
be grasped readily in rapid reading4    
,its length is determined by the value  
of its news as measured by the ordinary 
standards of news values4 ,it may be    
made interesting by bringing out the    
human interest element and by any       
literary device that is adapted to the  
subject4 ,usually it has a summary lead4
  ,the informative story of the         
constructive type aims to interest the  
reader in the significance of the facts 
of the news1 and the length of the      
story1 accordingly1 is determined by the
 importance of the news from this point 

of view4 ,by bringing out the human     
interest element in the constructive    
type of story1 the writer is able to    
make the emotional appeal to the readers
 that is particularly effective in      
accomplishing the purposes of this kind 
of story4 ,stories of this type may or  
may not have a summary lead4  ,in the   
entertaining feature story that contains
 little or no news1 the interest lies   
entirely in the manner in which the     
facts are told4 ,the literary ability of
 the writer is here tested to the       
utmost1 for a story is read only so far 
as it interests4 ,the length of these   
stories1 therefore1 is determined by the
 writer's success in sustaining the     
reader's interest4  ,news stories in    
method are 7#a7 narrative1 7#b7         
descriptive1 7#c7 expository1 or 7#d7   
any combination of these three forms of 
discourse4 ,these forms are often to be 
found combined in a single story4 ,the  
reporter1 for example1 may in one story 
narrate a series of incidents1 describe 

the persons and places involved1 and    
explain causes1 motives1 and results4   
,in the purely informative news story   
that is narrative in form there is      
little suspense1 because the essential  
facts are usually summarized in the     
beginning1 or lead4 ,in the narrative   
feature story1 however1 the interest is 
frequently sustained by the same devices
 that are used in fiction4  ,description
 in news stories may be either          
suggestive or detailed4 ,in most stories
 lack of space makes it impossible to do
 more than sketch briefly the appearance
 of persons and objects by suggestive   
touches4 ,in long stories1 however1 when
 circumstances warrant it1 descriptions 
may be given in considerable detail4    
,the purpose in both kinds of           
description should be to convey to the  
reader impressions of sights1 sounds1   
etc41 as vivid as those the reporter    
himself experienced4  ,news stories are 
expository1 as a whole or in part1      
whenever situations must be made clear  

by explaining motives1 causes1 results1 
and other phases of the news1 or by     
summarizing the whole or a part of      
speeches1 reports1 etc4 ,such exposition
 should always be as simple and lucid as
 possible4  ,structure of the story4    
,the structure of the news story is     
concerned with 7#a7 the beginning1 or   
lead1 and 7#b7 the body of the story4   
,the informative story usually begins   
with a summary lead that answers the    
reader's questions ,who8 ,what8 ,where8 
,when8 ,why8 ,how8 ,thus the summary    
lead includes the following details3    
7#a7 the persons1 7#b7 the event1 7#c7  
the place1 7#d7 the time1 7#e7 the      
cause1 7#f7 the significant             
circumstances4 ,any one of these        
elements of the news may be 8featured0  
in the place of prominence at the       
beginning of the story1 although the    
time and the place are seldom played up 
in this way4 ,the story of entertainment
 or appeal1 on the other hand1 usually  
avoids the summary lead by beginning in 

one of the ways common to fictitious    
narratives4 ,in its beginning1 its      
effort to sustain suspense1 and its     
semblance of plot the human interest or 
feature story closely resembles the     
short story4  ,in the body of the story 
the details follow a logical order4 ,the
 arrangement in narrative stories is    
usually chronological4 ,only such of the
 details summarized in the lead are     
repeated in the body of the story as are
 needed for clearness4 ,although it is  
well to round out stories in the last   
paragraph1 the ending does not receive  
so much attention as in other prose1    
because the exigencies of 8make-up0     
often necessitate the cutting off of the
 last paragraph or two4  ,literary      
style4 ,the style of a news story is    
concerned with such elements as 7#a7    
paragraphs1 7#b7 sentences1 7#c7 words2 
and with such qualities as 7#a7         
clearness1 7#b7 force1 7#c7 animation1  
7#d7 humor1 7#e7 pathos1 7#f7 taste4    
,analysis of paragraphs and sentences   

should include3 7#a7 the length of the  
paragraph and of the sentence2 7#b7 the 
unity of thought in the sentence1 and   
the unity of topic in the paragraph2    
7#c7 the coherence1 or connection       
between the parts2 and 7#d7 the emphasis
 given to the important ideas by their  
position in sentence and paragraph4     
,because of the narrowness of the       
columns the newspaper paragraph must be 
comparatively short to avoid appearing  
heavy and uninviting4 ,the typical      
newspaper paragraph contains from #ce to
 #ge words1 whereas the average         
paragraph in ordinary prose is from #aej
 to #bej words in length4  ,in sentence 
length1 and in paragraph and sentence   
unity and coherence1 the style of the   
news story does not differ from that of 
other prose4 ,involved constructions1   
long periodic sentences1 and similar    
rhetorical devices1 however1 have no    
place in journalistic writing1 because  
they tend to prevent rapid reading4     
,the emphasis given to an important     

point by placing it at the beginning of 
a sentence or a paragraph1 is a         
distinctive characteristic of newspaper 
style1 growing out of the fact that in  
rapid reading the eye catches important 
points quickly if they occupy these     
initial positions4  ,specific words in  
original combinations are always        
preferable to colorless1 general terms  
and trite phrases4 ,technical1          
scientific1 and learned words should be 
avoided unless fully explained4 ,slang  
and colloquial expressions may be used  
when the tone of the story justifies    
them4  ,clearness1 which is essential to
 rapid reading1 depends upon the        
arrangement1 the connection1 and the    
expression of ideas1 and the student    
will do well to analyze these essential 
factors in well-written stories4 ,how   
brisk movement and steady progress can  
be secured is also worthy of notice4    
,humor and pathos are not infrequent in 
news stories1 particularly in those of  
the feature and human interest type4    

,the student should observe how humor   
may be effective without ridicule1      
buffoonery1 or vulgarity1 and how       
offensive facts may be presented in news
 stories without violating the canons of
 good taste4  ,typographical style4     
,peculiarities in such details of       
typographical style as abbreviation1    
capitalization1 hyphenation1 and the use
 of numerical figures should be noted in
 each story and associated with the     
newspaper from which the story was      
taken1 for each paper has a             
typographical style of its own4 ,one    
style is as good as another1 but it is  
essential that consistency be           
maintained4  ,the printing of           
significant facts in a box at the       
beginning or in the body of a story1    
often in bold-face type1 the method of  
arranging lists of dead and injured1 the
 forms for market reports1 scores in    
sports1 and similar details should be   
carefully noted4   ,,an ,,outline ,,for

newspaper reports of fires and accidents
 may be considered as typical examples  
of narrative and descriptive news       
stories of the purely informative type4 
,the essential facts of the news are    
presented in a simple1 direct1 concise  
manner without any attempt to give the  
story any greater interest for the      

reader than the facts themselves        
possess4 ,such a fire story is that of  
the 8,large ,tannery ,fire0 7p4 #af7 and
 such an accident story is that entitled

#bd74  ,when human life is involved in  
these events1 some newspaper writers    
take advantage of the opportunity to add
 to the interest by developing the      
personal1 or human interest1 elements of
 the news in the informative type of    
story1 while at the same time presenting
 the facts fully and accurately4        
,accident stories of this type are those

important fires and accidents that might
 otherwise go unnoticed1 or be dismissed
 with a few lines1 may have in them some
 element that lends itself to the       
feature1 or human interest1 treatment4  
,a small fire story of this type is     
found on p4 #ai2 a humorous feature

,purpose4 ,stories of fires and         
accidents1 particularly when such       
occurrences result in fatalities1 may be
 written so as to be either constructive
 or destructive in their influence upon 
readers4 ,the constructive effect lies  
in emphasis upon those elements that    
tend 7#a7 to turn the reader's attention
 to preventive measures1 7#b7 to create 
sympathy for the victims1 or 7#c7 to    
inspire admiration for heroism or other 
virtues4 ,stories that give prominence  
to immediate or underlying causes and   
responsibility in cases of fires and    
accidents1 as well as to possible       
preventive measures1 have a helpful     
effect4 ,stories that create sympathy   
for victims deserving of aid generally  
result in prompt offers of relief4

those entitled 8,fire in ,stables0 7p4

and 8,runaway0 7p4 #bb74 ,the story that

 aims to satisfy readers' interest in   
ghastly and sensational phases of fatal 
fires and accidents panders to a morbid 
curiosity and inevitably has an         
unwholesome influence1 even though the  
facts that it presents are true4        
,treatment of material4 ,all types of

disaster1 either in direct or indirect  
quotation form1 as secured by interviews

followed and the fire gained            
irresistible headway1           since   
the power house stood in the centre of

the immediate necessity of legislation

 have been           condemned by the

the incoming ,legislature for such a    
law4            ,for sixteen years the

had been regarded as one of the worst   

firetraps           in the city1

was condemned and an order was issued by

forbidding firemen to enter the         
building in case of fire4 ,during these 
years the           building was        
constantly under inspection by both     
the fire and building departments1 and  
why it was           not ordered vacated
 has not been explained4 ,the           
walls were shored up1 or strengthened by
 iron rods1           as the foundation 
had settled1 and yet the firemen        
realized that1 once a fire got under    
way1 the walls           would not last 
long1 as their thickness was about      
eight inches4            ,before the    
fire was extinguished today1 ,mayor     
,curley and ,building ,commissioner     
,o',hearn visited           the scene

dangers that exist           in other   
buildings throughout the city which have

           been condemned but which are 
still occupied and are                  
regarded as a particular menace in case 
of fire4           ,the party looked    
over the surrounding property1          
and the ,building ,commissioner pointed 
out three           buildings on the    
same street and practically             
adjoining the stables that were being   
torn down           on his orders4      
,these were ramshackle buildings        
that had been fire menaces for years4   
,it was the           prevailing opinion
 that if the stable fire had got        
under greater headway when discovered1  
and if a           heavy wind had       
prevailed1 the best efforts of the      
firemen could not have prevented a      
serious spread           of the flames4 
,the buildings on the southerly side    
of the stables are all of wood1 and the 
flames           would have had little  
difficulty1 had they got                
beyond the control of the firemen1 in   
sweeping over           the site of one

dangerous fire risks to warrant orders  
from           headquarters forbidding  
the firemen entering them           in

proportions was admitted4 ,the fire     
commissioner           declared that he 
had received a legal opinion that       
the city is not justified in tearing    
down buildings           which have been
 condemned1 unless the owner or         
owners give their consent4 ,the city has

 been specially constructed for the     
storage of fireworks1 and had been      
occupied by the           company1      
formerly located in the loop1 for three 
years4 ,the basement had been divided   
into three           sections by stout  
partitions1 in much the same way        
that bulkheads are built into a ship4   
,into each of           the partitions  
was set a steel door4 ,but there had    
been no time to close the doors4        
8,the ,pain people thought they were    
absolutely           protected against  
accidents10 said ,o',donnell4 8,this

kerosene lamps were used           to   
light the halls4 ,often the lights go   
out or           are turned out by #aa  
o'clock1 so that persons who            
go into the buildings later are forced  
to strike           matches to find     
their way4 ,it probably was a match     
struck in this way that started the     
fire4            ,after an inspection of
 the district about ten days            
ago all the property owners were warned 
that they           must keep their     
lights lighted1 according to the        
law4 ,the inspection disclosed that     
about #gj per           cent4 of the    

houses were poorly lighted4

almost without exception in vain10      
,commissioner ,murphy told a ,,times

owners are taken to court1 they         
say that the lights went out1 or were   
blown out4           ,the reason for the
 law is primarily to see that the       
means of exit are lighted4 ,the danger  
from matches           used to light the
 way had not been thought so            
great40            ,except with regard  
to lighting1 possibly1 the              
burned tenement complied with all the   
provisions of           the law1 the    
officials said4 ,the fire escapes were  
as prescribed1 and it was due to        
excitement on the           part of the 
occupants that they did not use them    
instead of trying to go down the stairs4
 ,only one           of the windows     
opening to fire escapes was found       
broken4            ,all of the victims  

were suffocated by smoke4 ,five

the building was scarcely touched       

by fire4 ,several of the bodies were    
lightly           scorched1 but it was  
apparent that suffocation           had 
caused the deaths4 ,on one of the floors
 the           tenants had opened the   
door and left it open           creating

by one of ,korno's tenants who had been 
evicted4           ,the officials were

,hundred and ,sixth ,street4            
,because of the broken bit it was       
impossible to           stop the running
 horse by catching the bridle1 so       
,dowling leaned far out and wrapped his 
arms around           the neck of the   
runaway4 ,he clung in this manner       
for a few minutes1 and then1 his own    
horse shying1           he was dragged  
from the saddle and fell directly       
beneath the wheels of the runabout4 ,two
 wheels           passed over his chest4
            ,although dazed and bruised1
 ,dowling jumped to           his feet  
and caught his horse1 which stood near1 
mounted and set off at a gallop after

thrown out but           escaped with a 

few slight bruises4 ,dowling had        
almost caught up when this occurred4 ,he
 halted           long enough to see    
that the man and woman were not         
injured and then started after the      
running horse4           ,near ,one     
,hundred and ,seventeenth ,street he was
 even           with the animal and     
again leaned over and wrapped           
his arms around the horse's neck4 ,this 
time his           own horse did its    
share of the work1 and ,dowling's

 a brewery automobile truck4            
,that the toll of dead and injured was  
not many           times greater was due
 to the fact that the           supports
 of the subway structure gave way

opportunity for hundreds of persons

injured were in           the ,seventh  
,avenue trolley car1 which was of the   
closed type and was north-bound4 ,when  
the tracks           sagged the car slid
 into the hole4 ,it crumpled            
like pasteboard when it struck the      
tangle of iron1           wood1 and rock
 in the bottom of the excavation4 ,two  
of the persons killed were passengers in
 the car4           ,all the others were
 laborers in the tunnel caught          
beneath the wreckage4            ,within
 an hour after the accident happened    

seven           independent             
investigations to place the blame       
were under way4 ,these inquiries were   
started by           ,district ,attorney

contracting company1 the ,state         
,industrial           ,commission1 and  
the ,street ,railway ,company4          
,the investigators said that before the 
responsibility could be determined      
positively           they would need the
 testimony of ,august ,midnight4        
,midnight is the licensed blaster who   
set the           dynamite charge4 ,he  
was seen after the accident1            
but disappeared1 and up to a late hour  
last night           had not been found4
 ,the police sent out a general         
alarm for his arrest4                   
,according to ,policeman ,daniel        
,o',shay of the ,west                   
,twentieth ,street ,station1 who was    
standing at           ,twenty-fourth    

,street and ,seventh ,avenue1 it was    
about #g3ej o'clock when he heard the   
explosion1           which was followed 
by a sudden rising and then a           
sagging of the temporary roadway in     
,seventh ,avenue4           ,a few      
seconds later the structure gave way and
 with           a crash settled down    
into the big hole4 ,the street          
car was directly in front of ,o',shay1  
and he saw           it drop with the   
crumbling roadway1 and heard the        
cries of the terror-stricken passengers4
            ,o',shay instantly ran to a 
fire box and turned in an               
alarm1 after which he notified ,police  
,headquarters           by telephone4   
,when he got back to the accident to    
do his part in the work of rescue1 the  
scene down           deep in the        
excavation was appalling4               
,all that was left of the car1 it       
appeared1 was the           roof and the
 steel trucks4 ,the passengers inside1  
flung together in a confused mass1 were 

screaming           and struggling4 ,on 
top of the debris1 not far from         
the ,twenty-fourth ,street side of the  
wreckage1 was           the body of a   
stout1 well-dressed woman4 ,persons     
on the sidewalk more than thirty feet   
above her           saw that she was    
injured terribly4 ,she was still        
alive when taken from the excavation1   
but died in           a few minutes4    
,the body was identified as that of     
,mrs4 ,martha ,v4 ,newton1 #fg years    
old1 of #bdc ,waverly           ,place4 
,fire ladders were let down into the    
hole1 and           firemen and         
policemen1 reckless of danger to        
themselves1 scrambled over the debris to
 rescue           the injured and       
recover the dead4 ,mrs4 ,newton was     
one of the first of those carried up the
 ladders           to the sidewalk and  
into the ,national ,cloak and

company1 which           operates a

connected with its plant1 and to this   
infirmary           scores of the       
injured were taken to have their        
wounds dressed4            ,ambulances  
from all parts of the city were called1 
and soon there was a force of thirty    
surgeons           and as many more     
nurses at work4 ,several hundred        
emergency men employed by the           
contractors were           hurried into 
the excavation to facilitate the

arrived early and witnessed             
the removal of some of the injured and  
the dead4            ,the rescuers found
 many wounded people and one dead       
man in the wreckage of the street car4

,east ,eighth ,street4 ,another of those
 in the car           died soon after   
being removed from the wreckage4

emergency           hospital of the

,dennison1 the subway engineer who was  
taken to           ,st4 ,vincent's      
,hospital and was expected to die1      
was found with a girder across his      
chest1 but was           conscious1 and 
,father ,higgins anointed him before    
he was carried away4 ,when a stimulant  
was offered           to ,dennison to   
alleviate his suffering1 he refused1    
saying he did not drink4            ,the
 stifling odor of gas from broken mains 

hampered           the rescuers4 ,the   
,department of ,water ,supply1 ,gas     
and ,electricity had employes at the    
cavity in           eight minutes after 
the accident4 ,they found that          
one twenty-four-inch high pressure fire 
main and           several six-inch     
water mains had been broken1 and        
that the water was rising in the        
excavation4 ,within           half an   
hour they had all the high pressure     
mains           closed1 and thirty      
minutes later arrangements had          
been made through adjoining mains so    
that the high           pressure system 
was ready for use4 ,the smaller         
mains were shut off by the subway       
contractors1 and           temporary    
services were installed to meet the     
needs           of the residents of the 
block4            ,through the fortunate
 presence at ,seventh ,avenue           
and ,twenty-third ,street of a patrolman
 for the           ,consolidated ,gas   
,company1 the gas was shut off          

soon4 ,two mains had been broken2 but on
 account of           the experience in 
the construction of the ,boston         
subway1 when men were asphyxiated by    
escaping gas           in a similar     
accident1 the gas mains are laid along  
the curb in all the present construction
 in ,new           ,york2 so that while 
a considerable amount of gas            
escaped on the street it did no damage4 
,fire ,chief ,kenlon directed much of   
the rescue work1           and fifty    
additional firemen without apparatus    
were           called out as soon as the
 nature of the emergency           was  
known4 ,forty-four alarm boxes were put 
out of           commission by the      
breaking of wires when the street       
went down1 but service was restored with
 overhead           wires an hour later4

 spectators who crowded as near         
the great cavity as they could during   
the morning           and gave the      
police reserves a hard task at the      
danger zone ropes1 became alarmed when  
it was           reported that dynamite 
was still beneath the fallen            
structure and that more explosions might
 follow4           ,twelve sticks of    
unexploded dynamite were carried        
up at one time1 and the firemen took    
charge of it4            ,the engineers 
later said that there was no more       
dynamite in the cavity1 and that the    
twelve sticks           had been carried
 down early in the morning by a         
powder man who was to explode them in   
small blasts           after the big    
explosion at #h o'clock4 ,the rules     
were strict regarding the handling of   
dynamite1 the           company         
officials said1 and they were sure that 
there was no further danger to the lives

and           walked to the end of the

 freight train running into the rear of 
the ,new ,york ,central passenger train 
on which he           occupied the      
drawing room section at the rear end    
of the last car4            ,the        
accident occurred near ,croton1 ,n4 ,y4

passenger train1 which is known as the  
,montreal           ,express4 ,when his 
torn body was removed from the          
wreckage1 it was found that he had only 
partly           dressed himself4       
,the express had been stopped by a block

 signal1 and           why the freight  
behind it was not stopped has not       
been explained4 ,the freight struck with
 such force           as to demolish the
 rear end of the last sleeper1          
telescoping the front end with the      
sleeper ahead4            ,many of the  
occupants of the five sleepers had not  
fully dressed1 and they were

enough to the           rear of the

steamship ,h4           ,m4 ,whitney1 of
 the ,metropolitan outside line to      
,boston1 which they had helped to raise 
only a few           hours before after 
a month of hard work in the             
raging currents of ,hell ,gate4         
,one1 a diver1 went down into the hold  
to see if a           patch he had put  
on the wrecked bottom from the          
outside was holding well4 ,he died1 it  
is supposed1           as the poisonous 
gases rose about him1 and two           
more1 going after him to see why he did 
not return1           met the same fate4
            ,it was not until three men 
lay dead in the fetid           hold1   
suffocated by the gases that the cargo  
of           hides1 beer and perhaps    
half a hundred other things             
gave off1 that a glimmering of reason   
seemed to           come to those in    
charge of the work4 ,then the           
needless sacrifice of more lives was    
prevented4           ,some one took     
charge1 and men equipped with divers'   

helmets rescued two more men who had    
gone down for           their comrades1 
and brought up the bodies of the        
dead4            ,augustus ,bjorklund   
was the diver who brought about         
the fatal ending of the day's work4 ,no 
one knows           just why he went    
down into the hold1 warned as he        
had been to beware of the poisonous     
gases that           always accumulate  
when a vessel has lain long in          
the water1 but the officials of the     
,merritt-,chapman           ,wrecking   
,company suppose that he wanted to see  
his           work from inside4         
,reports of what happened next on the   
,whitney were           vague4 ,while   
the men were going down and dying1 no   
one seemed to know anything4 ,there was 
no panic2           there was no        
excitement4 ,michael ,menus1 one of the 
wrecking crew1 apparently followed      
,bjorklund to see           if anything 
was wrong1 and died as he reached the   
bottom of the hold1 falling unconscious 

from the           ladder he descended4 
,then ,herman ,fabricius went           
down1 and he1 too1 died almost at once4 
,john ,hanson was the next man to go    
down1 with           a rope and some    
caution this time1 for it was           
beginning to be realized that something 
was amiss4           ,hanson came back  
alive1 but unconscious4 ,captain        
,kivlin having realized that a disaster 
had come           upon the ship1 divers
 went down and saved ,hanson's          
life1 bringing up the bodies of the     
three dead men           besides4       
,that account of the tragedy is as much 
as could be           gleaned with any  
certainty yesterday4 ,it was hard       
enough to get aboard the ,whitney at    
all1 and no one           there seemed  
to know much4 ,the coroner's office     
made a brief investigation yesterday    
afternoon1           and the bodies were
 removed to an undertaking              
establishment in ,west #bdth street4    
,the police found           out little  

more than the casual spectators who     
thronged the pier4            ,the ,h4  
,m4 ,whitney went aground in ,hell ,gate
 on           ,middle ,four ,reef just a
 month ago yesterday1 and in            
the early morning she was floated after 
long and           hard efforts4 ,it had
 been a hard job1 and those             
who had accomplished it were more than  
happy4 ,the           ship had been     
brought down to ,east #ajb;d street1    
and about all the work that was being   
done was           to keep the pumps    
working4 ,the lighters with the         
huge derricks lay alongside1 and when   
the tragedy           occurred many of  
the men in charge of the work were      
at luncheon4            ,none of the men
 who died had orders to go down into    
the hold4 ,this was dwelt on with much  
emphasis by           the officials of  
the wrecking company4 ,captain          
,kivlin1 who was in charge of the work1 
was arrested           and taken to the 
,harlem court1 where ,magistrate        

,herrman refused to do more than remand 
him to the           coroner4           
,apparently no one in charge of the work
           could have foreseen the      
accident and no one could           be  
held responsible4            ,both      
,bjorklund and ,fabricius lived at      
,stapleton1           ,staten ,island1  
and ,menus lived at #a ,atlantic        
avenue1 ,brooklyn4 ,supt4 ,kivlin said  
that ,bjorklund           was one of the
 most experienced divers in the         
company's employ and he couldn't        
understand how           the man        
happened to venture into the gas-ridden 
hold without testing it for the         
poisonous vapors4           8,with such 
a mixed cargo as the ,whitney is        
carrying           submerged for        
thirty-one days1 it was certain to be   
almost fatal for any one to go into the 
hold until           it had been        
thoroughly ventilated10 he said4 8,he   
should have taken the precaution to drop
 down a           lantern before he went

 down himself40            ,capt4 ,hone 
of the ,henry ,m4 ,whitney said         
yesterday           that the damage to  
the steamer can be repaired very        
quickly when she gets into drydock4 ,as 
a result of           his steamer's     
misfortune the ,government has decided  
to put a bell buoy on the reef4         
,the pilots of the ,sound steamers      
breathed easier           yesterday     
afternoon when they approached ,hell    
,gate           and found the steamer   
out of the channel4 ,the                
larger vessels1 especially the ,fall    
,river ,line           steamers1 have   
had a tight squeeze sometimes1 and      
in foggy weather it was exceedingly     
dangerous to           attempt the

but three men were killed on her        
yesterday an hour after she had been    

raised4 ,she           had been pumped  
out by the ,merritt-,chapman ,wrecking

the wrecking crew went down the         
forward hatchway into the hold1 were    
overcome by           carbonic acid     
fumes and were taken out dead4          
,one was ,august ,bjorklund1 a veteran  
diver1 who had           patched up one 
of the big holes in the side of         
the steamer4 ,he took with him ,herman  
,fabricius1 a           blacksmith1 and 
,michael ,menus1 a laborer4 ,supt4      
,thomas ,kivlin1 in charge of the       
wreckers1 and ,capt4           ,george  
,hone of the ,henry ,m4 ,whitney had    
warned all           the wreckers and   
members of the crew that it would       
be unsafe to venture into the hold until
 the air           had been purified4   
,the ,whitney's cargo consisted mainly  
of green           hides1 miscellaneous 
freight made up largely of              
rubber1 resin and molasses1 and a       

quantity of coal4           ,some #ejj  
tons had been taken out and yesterday   
#a1hjj tons remained4 ,the divers had   
patched the           hole in the boat's
 bottom1 and yesterday morning1         
having pumped her out1 the wreckers got 
two immense           chains under the  
bow and stern of the ,whitney1 and      
she was lifted almost out of the water  
by four           powerful floating     
derricks4 ,shortly before noon the      
derricks headed for the ,manhattan shore
 and an hour           later the

 derricks had scarcely been tied up     
there when           ,bjorklund and his 
two assistants went down the            
second forward hatchway4 ,no one saw    
them go1 but a           few minutes    
later one of the wreckers1 happening    
to pass the hatchway1 looked down into  
the hold           and saw the three men
 stretched out on the bottom4           
,supt4 ,kivlin was notified1 and he     

called the           members of his     
force and the crew of the steamer       
around him4            8,the man who    
goes down after those men takes his     
life in his hand1 but there ought to be 
somebody           here brave enough to 
do it10 said ,kivlin4 8,if we           
can get them out of that rotten gas     
promptly we may           save them40   
,there wasn't any response for a moment1
 but           suddenly ,diver ,jack    
,hanson worked his way through          
the little group around the hatchway    
with a diver's           helmet over his
 head4 ,hanson didn't speak until he    
had taken half a dozen steps down the   
ladder1 when           he said3         
8,i guess ,i'm about the best friend    
,gus ,bjorklund           had1 and if   
the boys will keep me supplied with air 
,i'll get those poor fellows out as     
quickly as any           one could40    
,he tied a rope around ,bjorklund's     
shoulders1           and while          
,bjorklund was being pulled up on deck  

two more ropes were thrown to ,hanson4  
,he secured           the ropes around  
,menus and ,fabricius1 and in           
ten minutes all three men were on deck  
and were           receiving first aid  
treatment4 ,ambulances were sent        
for1 but it was nearly half an hour     
before ,dr4           ,moeckel of the

 bank that had closed in only about     
twenty           minutes before1 the    
four-masted schooner ,alma ,e4          
,a4 ,holmes of ,philadelphia was rammed 
and sunk by           the ,eastern

,belfast1           just outside of     
,graves ,light1 shortly after six       
o'clock this morning4 ,that no lives    

were lost was           undoubtedly due 
to the action of ,captain ,frank        
,brown of the ,belfast1 who held the bow
 of the           steamer in the hole in
 the schooner's side until              
,captain ,henry ,a4 ,smith and the eight
 members of the           crew had      
climbed aboard the ,belfast4 ,two       
minutes           after the ,belfast    
backed away1 the ,holmes1 which         
had been struck on the starboard side   
between           the fore and          
mainmasts1 plunged bow first to the     
bottom1 her stern lifting so high out of
 the water           that about twenty  
feet of the keel was visible to         
those on the steamer4            ,the   
,belfast1 with about #aej passengers1   
was on the           way here from      
,bangor and ,penobscot ,river ports4    
,the           weather had been thick   
all night1 and ,captain ,brown          
had been constantly on duty in the pilot
 house4           ,shortly before the   
collision occurred those on the         

,belfast heard the schooner's fog horn  
sounding           at intervals4 ,the   
steamer1 too1 was sounding her          
whistle1 when out of the fog and        
directly ahead           appeared the   
,holmes4 ,at the first glimpse ,captain 
,brown ordered the engines reversed4    
,the distance           between the     
vessels1 however1 was too short1 and    
a moment later the sharp stem of the    
,belfast cut           through the      
schooner's side4            ,frightened 
passengers hurried out on deck as they  
felt the shock of the collision1 but    
within a few           minutes they were
 assured by members of the crew         
that they were in no danger4 ,many1     
nevertheless1           feared that the 
,belfast was going to sink4             
,meantime1 ,captain ,brown held the     
steamer's bow           where it was1 as
 he realized that the damage was        
serious and that the schooner1 laden    
deep as she           was with coal1    
would go down quickly if the sea was    

permitted to rush in4                   
,meanwhile1 the skipper and crew of the 
schooner had           got on deck1 two 
or three of the sailors in scanty       
attire1 as they did not have time to    
dress after           being roused from 
their bunks4 ,captain ,smith was        
on deck when the accident happened1 and 
perceived           when the steamer was
 sighted that the collision was         
bound to occur4 ,he shouted for all of  
the crew to           come on deck1 and 
nearly all responded before the         
crash4            ,while passengers     
crowded forward on the decks of         
the ,belfast1 a ladder was let down to  
the deck of           the schooner1 and 
one after the other the crew of         
the ,holmes climbed to safety4 ,captain 
,smith had           some difficulty in 
impressing some of the crew             
with the necessity of quick action1 one 
man being           particularly        
stubborn4 ,the rescue was accomplished  
in about ten minutes1 according to      

,captain ,brown           of the        
,belfast1 and then the steamer backed   
away4           ,as she withdrew from   
the hole in the schooner's              
side1 it was seen that the ,belfast's   
stem had been           twisted over to 
port4 ,otherwise she was apparently     
undamaged1 and was not leaking1         
according to           ,captain ,brown1 
after she docked at ,india ,wharf4      
,the sight of the schooner going to the 
bottom was           one that the       
passengers will remember4 ,in ,captain  
,brown's opinion it was spectacular1 in 
view of           the manner in which   
the craft seemed to stand on            
her head1 with the stern rearing almost 
straight           out of the water1    
until she disappeared beneath           
the surface4 ,every one of the          
passengers praised           ,captain   
,brown highly for the manner in which he
           handled the situation and    
rescued the shipwrecked           men4  
,according to ,captain ,brown of the    

,belfast1           the collision took  
place about four and one-half           
miles northeast of the dumping ground   
buoy outside           of ,graves       
,light1 and the schooner sank in about  
twenty fathoms of water4 ,neither he nor
 ,captain           ,smith cared to make
 any statement regarding                
responsibility for the accident4 ,an

men lying dead in the bottom of the     
shaft4            ,the explosion came   
just before the noon hour in the        
,rachel shaft4 ,it was so terrific that 
the blast1           blowing up the     
whole length of the deep shaft1 tore    
loose the giant elevator cage at the    
surface of the           mine and hurled
 it #cjj feet away4            ,two men 
were in the cage at the time4 ,both were
           instantly killed1 the head of
 one of them being           literally  
blown off4            ,immediately      
following the explosion1 rescuers began 
frantically to burrow at the mouth of   
the mine in           a futile effort to
 dig down through the tremendous        
masses of coal that blocked the upper   
reaches           of the shaft1 while   
other rescuers1 headed by               
,president ,john ,k4 ,jones1 of the

,monongahela with the latest            
appliances1 which were erected at the   
head of the           shaft to bore to  
the entombed men4            ,five      
thousand women and children and miners  
thronged the mouth of the mine1 the     
former weeping           piteously and  
pleading for the rescue of their        
fathers or brothers4            ,the    
officials of the mine are in a pitiful  
condition4 ,they have spent hundreds of 
thousands of           dollars to make  
the ,marianna fireproof1 and experts    
have assured them that such a disaster  
as occurred           to-day was        
impossible4 ,in the excitement and panic
           it is impossible thus far to 
learn the names of the                  
victims4 ,but the books of the company  
indicate that           the majority of 
the #bge buried in the ,rachel are      
,americans and that most of the others  
are ,english           miners imported

in an explosion which wrecked           
the mine of the ,pittsburg-,buffalo

,washington ,county1 shortly before noon
           to-day4 ,marianna is         
considered the model mining             
town of the world1 and the mine itself  
was claimed           to be as nearly   
perfect in equipment as modern          
science could devise4            ,since 
the blast entombed all the men in the   
mine1           smoke has been issuing  
from the shaft1 showing that            
the workings are afire1 and rescuers who
 entered           were compelled1 after
 progressing only a short               
distance1 to retreat on account of the  
intense heat4            ,the explosion 
happened at #aa3cj o'clock this         
morning1 when the full force was at     

work4 ,the           explosion was      
terrific1 and if all in the mine        
were not mangled by its force1 it seems 
certain           that they perished in 
the subsequent fire or were             
suffocated by the deadly fumes4         
,the force of the explosion can be      
imagined when it           is known that
 the heavy iron cage which carried the  
men from the surface to the workings was
 blown #cjj           feet away from the
 mouth of the shaft4 ,two men who       
were in the cage at the time were       
killed1 the head           of one of    
them being blown off4            ,three 
foreigners who were at the mouth of the

occurred are in the hospital in         
a critical condition from injuries      
received when           the mine cage   
was blown out of the shaft4 ,they also  
inhaled the poisonous fumes4

only three           minutes before the 
explosion occurred4            ,when the
 town was shaken by the blast1 all the  
people rushed from their houses4        
,learning of the           extent of the
 disaster1 the members of the families  
of the doomed men rushed to the mouth of
 the mine1           and a pathetic     
scene followed4 ,wives1 mothers and     
relatives of the men are gathered about1
 and their           cries are pitiful4 
,it is said there is a large gas well in
 the           vicinity of the mine4    

,whether the gas from this              
well was communicated to the mine and   
became           ignited1 or whether

neighborhood are demanding that some    
action be           taken to close the  
wharf and keep the children away        

from it4 ,joseph ,e4 ,ferreira of #a    
,pelham street1           a business    
man1 well known politically in the      
section1 circulated a petition asking   
the city           to take action4      
,there were over #bej signers1 but      
when the petition was presented to the  
mayor it           was found that the   
city had no legal right to act4         
,mr4 ,ferreira has since appealed to the
 district           attorney and to the 
police in an attempt to have            
the wharf fenced in4            ,mayor  
,fitzgerald paid a personal visit to the
 scene           of ,tuesday's accidents
 yesterday morning4 ,he looked          
over the ground carefully and           
interviewed numerous           small    
boys who had been attracted to the spot4
           ,several of them were playing
 about the wharf end1                   
apparently unmindful of the danger4     
8,the situation here is a deplorable    
one10 said           ,mayor ,fitzgerald1
 8but up to the present ,i have         

been unable to discover any way in which
 the city           can act4 ,the       
premises are privately owned1 and the   
city1 so far as ,i am informed1 has no  
right to           fence the place in or
 otherwise block it from the            
street4            8,something should be
 done1 however1 to prevent the          
recurrence of drowning accidents4 ,it   
would seem           that much of the   
trouble would be obviated if the        
owners would consent to erect a high    
board fence4           ,i believe also  
that the police might be a bit more     
vigilant1 although ,i realize that the  
only sure way           to keep boys off
 a lot like this would be to have       
an officer stationed here all the time4 
8,the place as it stands is a temptation
 to every           child who loves the 
water4 ,in the hot weather it           
is bound to lure about every healthy boy
 in the           vicinity4 ,if funds   
were available1 ,i should suggest       
that the happiest solution of the       

difficulty would           be for the   
city to take the land over and transform
           it into a bathing park4 ,the 
neighborhood is crowded           and   
the nearest public bathing place is at  
,dover           street4                
8,the accident calls attention to the   
relatively           small number of our
 boys that can swim4 ,i have            
always advocated swimming instruction   
for our           children1 and the     
fatality of ,tuesday only               
emphasizes the need of it40             
,mayor ,fitzgerald allowed himself to be
 photographed           at the spot     
where the accident occurred1 and as he  
did so seven urchins grouped themselves 
about him4           ,six of them were  
under #aj years and the other #ac       
years old4            8,how many of you 
boys can swim80 asked the mayor4        
,the six younger boys shook their heads 
and the           oldest admitted that  
he could 8a little40            8,that  
is a fair example of conditions10 said  

,mayor           ,fitzgerald1 8and a    
good argument against allowing a        
place like this to exist40              
,the property has been idle for a number
 of years           and is said to have 
been the subject of litigation4         
,the assessors' books give the owners of
 the           property as ,grant and   
,alice ,nilson1 neither of whom         
is a resident of ,boston4            ,if
 the owners do not take measures to shut
 the old           wharf from the       
street1 ,mr4 ,ferreira and a number of  
other ,south ,end residents say they    
will appeal to           the courts in  
an effort to secure a remedy4

he credited ,dorothy with it when asked 
about it4           ,why not take the   
baby out of its crib and give it        
a bath in the tub1 as they had seen

brilliant thought4 ,so ,louis went

 seen the baby so quiet before when     
its mother bathed it4 ,he could not     

quite make out           just what was  
wrong1 but a vague foreboding that      
he had done something he ought not to   
came over           him4 ,he ran out    
into the hall and met his mother        
returning with her arms laden with

,walter           could indistinctly see
 stretching out before him1

the mother had noticed that her baby was
 missing1           and a search was    
begun4 ,at #i p4 m4 ,walter was still   
missing4 ,an alarm was spread in the    
neighborhood4            ,then the      
search began4 ,the good neighbors of    
,west           ,allis scurried to and  
fro1 listening to stories           of  
kidnaping1 following various clews1     
telling           of strange men seen in
 the neighborhood and1                  
altogether1 creating intense excitement4
 ,this           lasted until #f a4 m4  
,saturday4            ,what ,baby       
,walter thought as he toddled out of his
           yard cannot be told1 for     
,walter is unable to           say4 ,he 
walked up ,fargo-av until he observed a 
peculiar--to him--scene4 ,to most of us 
it would           have been an ordinary
 cottage at #edah ,fargo-av1 the        

home of ,mrs4 ,johanna ,bitter1 but to  
,walter there           was a great     
cavern underneath a pile of wood4 ,this 
cavern had a screen across the mouth1   
and1 peering           through1 ,walter 
could see a pile of dark stuff4 ,to     
others that would have been a cellar    
filled with           coal4             
,walter was highly interested in his    
discovery and           began to pry at 
the screen4 ,ah6 the screen moved6      
,it opened6 ,walter pushed his head     
inside and gazed           about4 ,then 
he tumbled in4            ,perhaps he   
cried a little when he fell1 but if he  
did no one heard him4 ,he soon          
reconciled himself to           his     
imprisonment and began playing with     
objects           at hand4 ,soon1       
however1 he became sleepy and what      
makes a better bed than a large pile of 
potato           sacks8            ,so  
while his frantic parents and the       
neighbors were           searching for  
him1 ,baby ,walter slept peacefully     

within a few hundred feet of home and   
mother4            ,early ,saturday     
,mrs4 ,bitter1 who lives alone1         
entered her cellar to get some potatoes 
for           breakfast4 ,she carried no
 light1 and when she           neared   
the bin1 stumbled over the sacks4 ,the  
baby           cried out4 ,that ended   
his trip4            ,when ,baby ,walter
 sat on his father's knee ,saturday     
morning calmly munching a biscuit1 he   
blinked and           smiled4 ,the      
father and mother were busy thanking    
the neighbors for their interest and    
assistance4     ,,chapter ,,iv  ,,police
 ,,news ,,and ,,crime   ,type of story4 
,since police news ranges from slight   
misdemeanors to the most serious of     
crimes such as murder and suicide1 it   
offers widely different material for    
news stories4 ,because of the general   
interest in the material with which     
stories of crime deal1 the purely       
informative story is sufficient in      
itself to insure reading 7cf4

 human interest presentation in the     
informative story 7cf4 8,forgery10 p4   
#di1 and 8,street ,car ,bandit10 p4     
#eg74 ,amusing aspects of minor         
offenses1 and even of burglary1         
hold-ups1 or fraud1 often furnish       
inspiration for humorous treatment 7cf4 
8,charged with ,intoxication10 p4 #dh1  
and 8,hold-up10 p4 #eg74  ,purpose4 ,in 
no other kind of news should the effect 
of the story on the reader receive more 
careful consideration than in news of   
crime4 ,the evil effects of news stories
 of criminal acts on many readers have  
already been pointed out 7cf4 p4 #h74   
,that these destructive influences can  
be offset to a considerable extent by   
constructive handling of news has also  
been shown4 ,in order that the crime    
story may have a deterrent effect1 the  
crime must be shown to be wrong1 even   

though the wrong-doer deserves some     
sympathy4 ,the results of wrong-doing1  
not only in the form of legal punishment
 imposed but in the remorse and the     
pangs of guilty conscience that the     
wrong-doer suffers1 as well as in the   
disgrace that he brings to others       
through his criminal acts1 when         
emphasized in news stories tend to deter
 others from risking the dangers of such
 penalties4  ,constructive presentation 
of crime news may also include emphasis 
on underlying causes and responsibility1
 especially when these can be traced to 
bad conditions in the community or in   
society as a whole1 since such emphasis 
leads readers to consider the necessity 
for changing the conditions that are    
directly or indirectly responsible for  
the criminal acts4 ,in so far as the    
criminal is the victim of these         
circumstances it may be legitimate to   
create a sympathetic understanding of   
his act 7cf4 8,hold-up10 p4 #ef1 and    
8,story of ,escaped ,convict10 p4 #fh74 

,a danger in writing stories of crime   
lies in creating sympathy for the       
undeserving wrong-doer by a sentimental 
treatment of him and his act4 ,by making
 more or less of a hero of him1 news    
stories may lead undiscriminating       
readers to regard him and his crime as  
not unworthy of emulation4 ,there is    
also a temptation in writing crime      
stories to sacrifice truth and accuracy 
of detail in order to secure greater    
picturesqueness or stronger dramatic    
situations1 but such treatment is an    
indefensible deviation from the         
fundamental duty of presenting the news 
fairly and accurately4  ,whatever       
influence a story of crime may have on  
the reader should be the result of the  
reporter's selection and presentation of
 the actual facts4 ,moralizing or       
8editorializing0 concerning the facts is
 not only unnecessary but undesirable in
 news stories4  ,treatment4 ,dramatic   
narrative and vivid description1 when   
true to the facts of the news1 are both 

legitimate and commendable4 ,it is      
important to keep consistently to one   
point of view in arranging and          
presenting the details1 particularly in 
constructive stories4 ,available        
material for making the narration and   
the description effective includes      
confessions1 interviews with witnesses  
and persons involved1 and clues to the  
identity of the perpetrator or to the   
solution of any mysterious phases of the
 crime4 ,fairness requires that persons 
accused of wrong-doing as well as their 
accusers be given a hearing in news     
stories4 ,it must also be remembered    
that a person accused of crime is not a 
criminal unless he has been convicted2  
until he has been found guilty1 he is   
described as an 8alleged0 criminal1 or  
is said to be 8charged0 with the crime4

,john ,e4 ,jones1 jr41 formerly a clerk 
at the           ,merchants ,bank1 which
 day before yesterday was               
absorbed by the ,commercial ,trust      
,company1 is being           detained at
 police headquarters this afternoon     
pending an investigation of his         
accounts4 ,he is           about #bb    
years old and is married4 ,it was       

asserted           there was a          
discrepancy amounting to something like 
#i1jjj4            ,the difference was  
found when an audit of the books        
of the ,merchants ,bank was made in     
turning over its           money1 books 
and business to the ,commercial ,trust  
,company4            ,in a statement    
made to the police this afternoon       
young ,jones told a queer story4 ,he    
admitted           falsifying the books 
for an amount he calculated           to
 be about #i1hjj4 ,but he said that he  
received           only about #ejj of   
that amount1 the rest going to          
a lawyer friend4 ,the lawyer is being   
detained and           questioned this  
afternoon in the office of ,larry       
,ghent1 chief of detectives4 ,there is  
some doubt as           to whether the  
lawyer would be criminally liable       
although he got most of the money4      
,jones lives at #deaj ,walker ,st4 ,he  
did not dissipate           or spend    
recklessly and it is believed he can    

restore the greater part of the money4  
,this was the method of the bookkeeper  
and his           lawyer friend4 ,the   
friend wrote checks on an               
account he had in the ,merchants ,bank4 
,when the           canceled checks     
appeared at the ,merchants ,bank        
from the clearing house to be charged   
against the           lawyer's account1 
they first went to ,jones1 whose        
task at the bank gave him that          
opportunity4 ,he held           out     
those checks and destroyed them4 ,he    
covered the           discrepancy by    
making a false entry on his books4      
,jones says he received #afj at one time
 with which           he purchased a    
motor cycle1 but the rest of his        
share went to him1 he says1 in          
comparatively small           amounts4  
,young ,jones told the police that he   
had been forced           by the lawyer 
to keep up the system of destroying     
checks and falsifying the books after   
once he           started1 for fear of  

being exposed4 ,the bookkeeper          
said that he first fell into the        
clutches of           the lawyer when   
the attorney representing an            
installment furniture house1 threatened 
to take           back the furniture he 
had partly paid for4 ,a                 
payment was due on it and the bookkeeper
 could not           meet it4 ,he says  
the lawyer proposed the scheme for      
destroying the checks and falsifying the
 accounts4           ,once he started1  
,jones said1 his master made him        
keep it up4 ,the amounts of the checks  
at first were           comparatively   
small1 but they kept getting larger     
until one day the lawyer compelled him  
to put over           a check for       
#b1jjj4            ,at #c3cj o'clock    
this afternoon the police were          
still investigating the lawyer4 ,he     
cashed the           checks1 but was in 
no way connected with the bank4

,after drifting in a current that both  
knew must           lead to wrack and   
ruin1 two ,kansas ,city men are         
on the rocks today4 ,one is ,henry ,a4  
,black1 #dg1           smart lawyer and 
man of affairs4 ,his companion in       
dishonor is ,john ,e4 ,jones1 jr41 #ba1 
a pallid bank           bookkeeper4     
,accompanied by detectives and lawyers1 
,black went           to his offices in 
the ,commercial ,building yesterday     
afternoon and produced from his safe    
cancelled           checks totalling    
#i1hjj4 ,the checks1 drawn on his       
account at the ,merchants ,bank1 had    
been paid by the           bank but     
never charged against him4 ,jones1 the  
tool           in this game of foolish  
finance1 pocketed them as           they
 came in4            ,around ,black were
 men in whose class the lawyer          
had only recently counted himself4 ,they
 were all           staring at him4 ,he 
felt the need of explanation4 ,he       
spoke slowly3            8,i was under a

 great financial strain and ,i had to   
resort to methods of raising money that 
otherwise ,i           never would have 
used40            ,he said nothing more 
and the little group           returned 
to police headquarters4 ,black and the  
young bookkeeper1 who for months had    
juggled the           lawyer-promoter's 
account at the bank1 were held in       
jail over night4 ,tomorrow both will be 
charged with           a felony1 the    
prosecutor said last night4             
,black is a church member and was for   
many years a           ,sunday school   
teacher4 ,he is a cold man and even     
his close friends have known only in a  
general way           about his business
 affairs4 ,he was an exceptional        
scholar4 ,in the last ten years he has  
not practiced           much at the law1
 but has sought to promote              
telephone corporations and large land   
businesses4           ,he has a lot of  
that force that is sometimes called     
character but more often described as   

personality4           ,he was the first
 man possessed of any considerable      
personal magnetism who ever came into   
the life of           ,john ,jones1 bank
 clerk4            ,the man of affairs  
began to notice ,jones months           
ago and ,jones glowed under the         
attention4 ,married           at #ah to 
a girl a year his junior1 earning for a 
time #ce a month1 while his wife added  
to this by           wages from a       
wholesale coffee house1 ,jones had had  
a dull life4 ,he had been graduated from
 a grade           school at #ad and    
gone through a business college4        
,several jobs followed and he finally   
worked in           one bank until his  
salary was raised to #ej a              
month4 ,after that he helped his father 
in a grocery           and then went to 
work for the ,merchants ,bank for       
#gj a month4 ,when that bank was        
absorbed by the           ,commercial   
,trust ,company last week1 he was       
getting           #ge4            ,this 

was the young bookkeeper1 pallid1       
unassuming1           rather thin       
chested1 beside whose place at the bank 
railing ,black1 one of the bank's       
customers1 stopped           one        
morning4            ,black asked how his
 checks totaled4 ,the bookkeeper1       
returning in a moment1 told him his     
account would           be overdrawn    
#aaj4 ,black thanked him1 said he would 
go out and get the money1 and passed a  
#aj-;cent           cigar over the      
railing4            ,many times this    
happened1 ,jones said yesterday4 ,his   
pocket was quite used to the 8feel0 of  
one or two           good cigars by now4
            ,then one day ,jones1 the   
bank clerk1 needed a           friend4  
,he had lost a little home out on       
,walker           ,avenue which he had  
sought to buy on installments4          
,now an installment house was           
threatening him for           furniture 
purchased4            ,well1 he guessed 
he had a friend1 a lawyer-friend1       

too4 ,his intimacy with the man1 whom he
 considered           one of the bank's 
best customers1 had grown4 ,black       
now was trusting the bookkeeper to      
notify him           whenever that      
exasperating account was about to be    
overdrawn4            ,jones was not    
disappointed4 ,the installment people   
were placated4 ,in one interview his    
friend of the           #aj-;cent cigars
 arranged a basis of settlement and     
even advanced the first payment of      
#g4ej4            ,this was the story   
that ,jones told yesterday to           
a roomful of lawyers1 bankers and bond  
company           representatives1 and  
to one woman--the little girl           
who had married him at #ag4             
,in the next chapter it was his         
benefactor who           needed a favor4
            ,it was in the power of the 
bank bookkeeper1 the           financial
 weakling1 to favor the man of affairs4 
,black had written more checks than he  
could meet4           ,he wanted a check

 for #ajj held out for a day4 ,it       
would be easy for the bookkeeper to slip
 it from           the pile that came in
 from the clearing house4 ,of           
course1 the man of affairs might ask    
,mr4 ,white1 the           cashier4 ,but
 sometimes ,mr4 ,white was willing to   
favor and sometimes not4 ,it depended a 
good deal on           how he felt4 ,and
 this was important4            ,that   
#ajj check was not made good the next   
day4 ,it           went over to the     
8next day40            ,others1 at the  
insistence of the man of affairs1       
were added to this4            ,the     
picture ,jones drew in the minds of     
those that           heard him was of a 
nervous young man1 hurrying from        
the bank to the office of the man of    
affairs and           greeting him with 
all the apprehension that had           
grown upon him every time he looked at a
 bank book4            8,for ,god's sake
 get this money and get this            
straightened up40            8,now1     

that's all right4 ,i'll look after      
this40            ,and after a few      
minutes ,jones would be surprised       
to find himself picking up some of the  
other's           confidence4 ,he would 
go back to his post confident           
that the money would soon be raised and 
his           duplicity toward his      
employers wiped away4            ,jones 
would get such messages as these3       
8,meet me at #g3cj in the morning40     
8,drop in at #f o'clock at night40      
8#ic1 #id1 #ie1 #if are coming in4 ,take
 care of them40            ,it had      
reached #i1hjj when the prospective     
consolidation threatened disclosure4    
,jones had the advice of the man of     
affairs--to keep           quiet and    
trust in him as his lawyer4             
,when arrest came ,friday1 ,jones called
 for his           lawyer4 ,the lawyer  
was at church4 ,the messenger           
reached the church too late4            
,at midnight ,black was at police       
headquarters4 ,the           police     

would not let him see his young client4 
,at #h           o'clock yesterday      
morning1 and again at #aj o'clock1      
,black was back at the jail4 ,but       
,jones1 under the           sweating of 
the detectives1 was keeping his faith4  
,then his young wife1 leaving their     
#b-year-old baby           at home1 came
 into the room4 ,she pleaded for the    
truth4 ,then ,jones took her hand and   
told the queer1           pitiful story4
            ,the chief of detectives    
stared hard4            8,can you tell  
that story before ,black80 the chief    
demanded4            ,in a little while

bright-eyed baby but also a nemesis4    
,their savings went for doctor's bills

8,i know to-day how they killed him4    
,the poor boy           that shot him   
was standing in ,chatham ,square        
arguing with another man when ,gene told
 him to move           on4 ,when the    
young man wouldn't1 but only answered   
back1 ,gene shoved him1 and the young   
man pulled a           revolver and shot
 ,gene in the face1 and he died         
before ,father ,rafferty1 of ,st4       
,james's1 got to him4           ,god    
rest his soul4 ,a lot of policemen heard

 the           shot and they all came   
running with their pistols           and
 clubs in their hands4 ,policeman       
,laux--,i'll           never forget his 
name or any of the others that          
ran to help ,gene--came down the ,bowery
 and ran out           into the middle  
of the square where ,gene lay4          
8,when the man that shot ,gene saw the  
policemen           coming1 he crouched 
down and shot at ,policeman             
,laux1 but1 thank ,god1 he missed him4  
,then policemen           named         
,harrington and ,rouke and ,moran and   
,kehoe           chased the man all     
around the streets there1 some          
heading him off when he tried to run    
into that           street that goes off
 at an angle--,east ,broadway1          
is it8--a big crowd had come out of     
,chinatown now           and was chasing
 the man1 too1 until ,policemen ,rouke  
and ,kehoe got him backed up against a  
wall4 ,when           ,policeman ,kehoe 
came up close1 the man shot his         

pistol right at ,kehoe and the bullet   
grazed ,kehoe's           helmet4       
8,all the policemen jumped at the man   
then1 and one           of them knocked 
the pistol out of his hand with a       
blow of a club4 ,they beat him1 this    
,billy ,morley1           so ,jerry says
 his name is1 but they had to because   
he fought so hard4 ,they told me this   
evening that           it will go hard  
with the unfortunate murderer1          
because ,jerry says that when a man     
named ,frank           ,o',hare1 who was
 arrested this evening charged with     
stealing cloth or something1 was being  
taken into           headquarters1 he   
told ,detective ,gegan that he and      
a one-armed man who answered to the     
description of           ,morley1 the   
young man who killed ,gene1 had a drink 
last night in a saloon at ,twenty-second
 street           and ,avenue ,a and    
that when the one-armed man was         
leaving the saloon he turned and said1  
#8,boys1 ,i'm           going out now to

 bang a guy with buttons4'              
8,they haven't brought me ,gene's body  
yet4 ,coroner           ,shrady1 so my  
,jerry says1 held ,billy ,morley1 the   
murderer1 without letting him get out on
 bail1 and           ,i suppose that in 
a case like this they have to do        
a lot of things before they can let me  
have the           body here4 ,if ,gene 
only hadn't died before ,father         
,rafferty got to him1 ,i'd be happier4  
,he didn't need           to make his   
confession1 you know1 but it would have 
been better1 wouldn't it8 ,he wasn't    
bad1 and he           went to mass on   
,sunday without being told2 and even    
in ,lent1 when we always say the rosary 
out loud in           the dining-room   
every night1 ,gene himself said to      
me the day after ,ash ,wednesday1 #8,if 
you want to say           the rosary at 
noon1 mammy1 before ,i go out1 instead  
of at night when ,i can't be here1 we'll
 do it4'            8,god will see that 
,gene's happy tonight1 won't he1        

after ,gene said that80 the mother asked
 as she           walked out into the   
hallway with her black-robed            
daughters grouped behind her4 8,i know  
he will10           she said1 8and      
,i'll--0 ,she stopped with an arm

8,i--,i know           ,i promised you1

,i'd try not to cry any more1 but ,i    
can't help it40           ,and she      
turned toward the wall and covered her

from a good home in ,elm ,grove1 ,kas41 
on a sunny day last ,march4             
,down in the wilds of ,northern         
,arkansas1 riding in           a freight
 car1 one day in the middle of ,march1  
a brakeman came upon him and they       
fought--the           brakeman angered  
at the lad1 the boy hot with the        

lust of youth that welcomes a fray4     
,the boy1 ,charles ,hyde1 hit the       
brakeman on the           head with a   
bolt4 ,the brakeman went down1 like a   
shot thing1 and fell from the car under 
the flying           wheels1 which      
ground him to death4            ,then   
the boy went on4 ,later he heard a      
coroner's           jury had reached a  
verdict of 8accidental death40          
,then began the flight4 ,it was         
flight--not from the                    
far-reaching arm of the law2 for the    
verdict of the           backwoods jury 
had placed no suspicion on any man4     
,but it was flight from a dread thing   
that haunted           him1 making his  
nights of no comfort and his days       
of dark despair4            ,conscience1
 men call it1 and ,retribution4 ,but by 
whatever name1 under whatever guise1 the

 last1 caught and enfolded              
him4 ,and the lad who had been carefree 
a few short           months ago1 now a 

trembling1 quaking1 white-faced         
wreck1 stumbled into the ,mulberry

surrendered4            8,i killed a

he's been           after me4 ,i've got 
to give myself up2 ,i've got to         
confess4 ,it's the only way ,i can get  
rid of it40            ,they heard the  
boy out1 those policemen in the         
bottoms1 not understanding1 sensing only
 dimly           the fear that was on   
him4 ,then they took him to

that ,i have given myself up4 ,that's

helpless toy of fate1                   
entrapped in the coils of a retributive

covered his gaunt boy's face with       
shaking hands4            ,back and     
forth1 up and down1 across the harvest  
lands of the ,middle ,west1 went ,hyde1 
riding           in freight cars1       
clinging to the rods of

pursued him--and always failing4 ,in    
the hot fields1 laboring with his hands1
 staggering           in the heat of the
 day but pressing on1 he found no       
surcease4 ,and then1 despite his        
efforts1 hard work           brought no 
sleep at night4 ,and he was alone with  
his fear4            8,i know the law's

myself up4            8,and to think ,i

believed her to           be4 ,it cost  
,michael more than outsiders could

followed her children here and tried to 
take them           away from the home4

the watch kept on the little girls was  

too close           and she did not     
succeed4 ,at last1 ,michael1 fearing    
that sooner or later he would lose them1
 gave up           his job and took the

difficulty of           providing for   
them on what he was earning1 made       
him desperate4 ,he deserted the navy4

8,that's against the rules1 but ,i      
always have a           lot of sympathy 
for a man like you4 ,what's your        
trouble80            8,broke60 said his 
visitor1 tersely4 8,i ain't had         
nothing but hard luck these last five   
years40            ,in the distance the 
whistle of the flyer tooted4            
,the man in blue eyed a stack of bills  
in the open           cash drawer4      
8,i don't know whether to beat it or    

to--to visit           a while with     
you10 he murmured1 glancing at the      
station door1 and then back again at the
 cash           drawer4                 
,brown consulted the time card          
again--and looked           out the     
window1 inwardly breathing a prayer4    
,sure           enough1 there was the   
constable1 trudging down the            
road toward the station1 a bit behind   
schedule but           not speeding to  
make up lost time4            8,i guess 
you--you'd better--stay60 said the      
agent4            ,brown went through a 
few tense moments after that            
remark1 that he said later he wouldn't  
experience           again 8if they made
 me president of the road40             
,the constable took up his stand1 not on
 the station           platform1 as     
usual1 but a couple of hundred feet     
away4 ,stolidly he watched the flyer    
pass1 then           looked undecidedly 
toward the station4 ,he seemed to       
be debating whether or not to forego his

 routine           visit with the agent4
 ,twice he turned his back and          
started away1 only to halt1 wheel and   
resume his           meditation4 ,a     
,niagara of sweat coursed down ,brown's 
cheeks as he waited4 ,the man in blue   
was standing           close to the     
wicket1 still peering into the drawer4  
,his right hand was in his hip pocket4  
,brown dared direct his gaze out the    
window no           longer4 ,he stood   
silently watching his blue-clad         
visitor1 waiting to see what would be in
 his hand           when it came from   
the bulging hip pocket4            ,then
 the station door opened4 ,in it stood  
the           constable4 ,he took in the
 significance of the blue               
figure as ,brown's sinister visitor     
wheeled1 and           the ,denville    
police revolver1 rusty with age1 but    
loaded1 flashed from his pocket4

within an hour two posses of guards1

against the           cell wall and     
blinking4 ,the sun that came through    
the dirty basement window fell full on

into it1 twisting his felt hat in       
his hands4            8,they'll take me

glistened in the sun4            ,four

him when he walked away from the honor  
farm at           ,joliet4 ,he told the

without any omissions4 ,but first he    
said again3            8,i don't care so
 much about going back2 ,i'm used       
to the life down there4 ,but they'll put

before they take me back40              
,tears came now and rolled over the     
drawn face of           the little man  
and his voice was so low that the       
listener had to bend down to hear4

just as his family entered           the
 room4            ,members of ,mr4      
,herman's family scouted the theory     
of suicide1 declaring that his death was
 purely the           result of an      
accident4 ,the police reported the case 
as a 8supposed suicide from gas         
poisoning40            ,coroner         
,acritelli1 after making an examination 
of           ,mr4 ,herman's room1 said  
that death undoubtedly had              
been due to accidental gas asphyxiation4
            ,the coroner said that his  
physician1 ,dr4 ,weston1           would
 make an examination of the body this   
afternoon1 and that an inquest would be 
held later           this week4         
,dr4 ,ralph ,wilson1 of #hcf ,madison   

avenue1 who was           summoned      
immediately1 declared that the gas in   
the           room was not enough to    
have caused death alone1           and  
that ,mr4 ,herman had died from a       
combination of           heart trouble  
and gas inhalation4            ,mr4     
,herman1 said ,dr4 ,wilson1 also had    
been a           sufferer from diabetes1
 and in his weakened           condition
 was not so able to resist the influence
           of the gas as a man in normal
 health4            ,the discovery was  
made by ,mrs4 ,herman at #e4cj a4 m4    
,she slept in a room alongside that of  
her husband4           ,on awaking she  
smelled gas and went to ,mr4 ,herman's  
room to investigate4                    
,adjoining the bedroom is a bathroom1   
the door of           which was open4   
,the gas was coming from that room4     
,mrs4 ,herman hurriedly summoned the    
butler1 who went           into the     
bathroom and found that the valve of a  
pipe leading to a small gas heater was  

open4 ,this           he shut off4      
,dr4 ,wilson was telephoned for1 but    
before he           arrived ,mr4 ,herman
 was dead4 ,two or three minutes        
after ,mrs4 ,herman entered her         
husband's room his           son1       
,frederick ,r41 went there in response  
to his           mother's call4 ,he     
found his father propped up in          
his bed just breathing4 ,at the elder   
,herman's side           lay an opened  
magazine and his eyeglasses4            
,windows were thrown open and an attempt
 made to           revive ,mr4 ,herman  
but it was unsuccessful4            ,the
 gas was carried to the heater by a pipe
 that           led from the wall4      
,there were two valves on the           
pipe1 one near the wall and the other   
near the           heater4              
,the family declares that the lower     
valve had been           turned off1 but
 that the one at the wall was on        
full and in some way the gas had        
succeeded in           escaping4        

,john ,l4 ,o',brien1 the personal       
counsel for           ,frederick ,h4

death and arrived at the house shortly  
after4 ,mr4           ,o',brien saw     
reporters who called at the house1      
explaining that members of the family   
did not care           to be            
interviewed4            ,mr4 ,o',brien  
denied that ,mr4 ,herman committed      
suicide4 ,he said that the circumstances
 surrounding           his death made it
 appear that it had been                
accidental4            8,mr4 ,herman's  
death was purely accidental2 of that    
,i am convinced10 said ,mr4 ,o',brien4  
8,he was not           worried by the   
civil litigation in which he was        
engaged with the receivers of the       
,universal ,reserve           ,life     
,insurance ,company1 and he long ago    
became           satisfied that he would
 never be brought to trial           for
 the criminal indictment that was       
hanging over           his head in      

connection with the alleged misuse of   
money to influence legislation at       
,albany4            8,if it had been    
,mr4 ,herman's plan to take his life    
by gas he would have gone about it      
differently4           ,the gas in his  
own room was turned off1 and it is      
reasonable to assume that if he had had 
suicide in           mind he would have 
turned on the gas in his room4          
8,he was fully twenty feet away from the
 gas heater           in the bathroom   
and there was a constant current of     
air flowing between the two rooms4      
8,there was some trouble with the       
furnace1 and ,mr4           ,herman1 who
 likes his room warm1 had turned on the 
gas in the bathroom4 ,air was coming    
from the open           furnace         
register4            8,it is evident    
that ,mr4 ,herman had been reading1     
had gone into the bathroom and turned   
off the valve           near the heater1
 had then returned to bed1 read a       
while1 and finally turned out his own   

gas4            8,he went to bed at     
#aa4cj1 and must have remained up       
reading through the night4              
8,i had never seen ,mr ,herman more     
optimistic than           he was in the 
last few weeks4 ,he had been busily

being questioned by reporters1 said3

accidental4 ,the           gas was      
escaping from the stove1 and from all

turned off the           gas1 he        
accidentally turned it on again4 ,mr4   
,herman           had a weak heart1 and

him more quickly than it would a person

,dr4 ,wilson said that shortly before #f

,every hole           and crevice in    
their sparsely furnished rooms had      
been plugged with paper and rags1 and in
 several           places tacks had been
 driven into the woodwork to            

make sure that neither the rags nor     
paper would           become dislodged4 
,it was this hammering on ,sunday       
night which caused neighbors to wonder  
what the old           couple were      
doing1 as they always retired before #aj
           o'clock4            ,when the
 ,schwartzes rented the store and two   
rooms           back of it eight months 
ago for #ab a month1 they           told
 neighbors that three years before their
 only           child1 a daughter of    
thirty-one years1 had died4             
,they said they had never recovered from
 the shock4            ,business during

much of their stock in the store to the 
children           in the neighborhood4

adjoining the           ,schwartz store1

had one end of a rubber tube in         
his mouth1 the other end of which was

 ,mrs4 ,louise           ,schwartz soon 
came to be known to the children of     
the neighborhood when she and her       
husband1 ,victor1           each of them
 #fg years old1 opened a small candy and
           stationery store at #he      
,arnold ,street1 ,williamsburg1         
about eight months ago4            ,her 
small customers just kept the business  
going           in the little shop1 but 
it was a penny business1           and  
when the rent of the store was raised   
recently           from #ab to #ae a    
month1 8,auntie0 ,schwartz almost       
despaired of continuing to make a       
living4 ,her face           grew sad and

 careworn1 and one day1 when one of     
her little customers was grieving over  
the loss           of a pet doll which a
 dog had chewed up1 8,auntie0           
,schwartz did not console her with a    
cheerful word           and a chocolate 
drop or two1 as she was wont to         
do4 ,instead she took her on her lap and
 told of           the little girl she  
had lost three years ago4 ,she          
did not explain that her 8little girl0  
had been           #ca years old1 and   
that she had helped greatly in          
making a living for the old folks1 who  
were now           staggering under the 
burden of age1 increased rent1          
and a precarious trade4 ,the old people 
seemed           always oppressed by the
 sadness of the loss of           their 
only child4            ,day by day      
recently the children noticed that      
8,auntie0 ,schwartz was less cheerful   
that usual4           ,their elders     
seldom visited the little store1 and    
so none who might have helped knew that 

old ,victor           ,schwartz and his 
wife were almost starving to            
death1 or that the old couple were      
slowly making up           their minds  
to end their troubles together4         
,so it was that the children were the   
first to           discover yesterday   
that the little store was not           
open for business when they passed it on
 their way           to their first day 
at school1 and 8,auntie0 ,schwartz      
lost many pennies which her small       
customers had           intended to     
expend for lead pencils and erasers4    
8,auntie0 ,schwartz had called them all 
in on ,sunday           evening and had 
distributed among them all her          
small stock of candy1 telling them that 
she would           have a full new     
stock for the beginning of school4      
,meantime1 ,mrs4 ,kate ,weck and ,mrs4  
,rose ,black1 who           live above  
the store1 were puzzled by the odor of  
gas which permeated their apartments4   
,at last the           women traced it  

to the store1 which they found          
closed and locked4 ,the gas came from   
the two living           rooms which the
 ,schwartzes occupied behind their      
store1 and ,mrs4 ,weck and ,mrs4 ,black 
finally got           ,policeman        
,mc,caffrey of the ,hamburg ,avenue     
,station           to smash down the    
door4            ,the policeman and the 
women found the old man           seated
 in a chair in the kitchen1 a gas tube  
clutched between his teeth1 the other   
end of which           was made fast to 
a gas jet4 ,he was dead4 ,in the        
little bedroom they found also the body 
of ,mrs4           ,schwartz dead like  
her husband from the gas which          
she had inhaled4 ,like him1 too1 she had
 tied the           tube around her     
head1 so that it should not slip        
from her mouth4            ,a search of 
the rooms showed that the old couple    
had been in the most abject poverty4    
,only #fg cents           was found in

you have a piano and           8play    
just grand10 and then wake up to hear   
the           alarm clock buzzing six   
o'clock2 to forget where           you  
are1 and half close your eyes and       
pretend           that the movements    
your fingers are making are on          
a piano1 instead of having something to 
do with           the bobbin of a       
machine in an embroidery factory2       
to hear beautiful music suddenly in the 
midst of           your work1 and       
listen1 startled and ecstatic1 for      
a moment until it is lost in the endless
 whirring           of the              
machines--these things1 if you have     
never           done them1 may seem a   
certainty that ,life is1 after          
all1 very splendid while there is such a
 thing as           imagination1 and    

that the gray of it is woven full       
of unexpected and vivid threads of      
color4            ,or it may impress you
 as deliciously funny that the          
lack of a piano can seem tragic1 if you 
have a big           enough view of

determined and very wistful and somewhat
 sullen4           ,her hands are red   
and rough and square-fingered           
from hard work4            ,she was     
dusting one of the rooms this morning in

           the soggy apartment house of 
which her mother           is janitress1
 and where they and the six other       
children live and pay half-rent4 ,she   
goes back to           the factory on   
,monday4 ,she sat down in one of the    
innumerous chairs to tell her story1    
fingering           the grimy dust-cloth
 with her red fingers1 which            
are never quiet for a minute4 ,her      
mother stood up           through the   
recital--the little ,german mother who  
speaks ,english only brokenly1 who wears
 a little           shawl over her head 
while she sweeps down the long          
flights of stairs and who used to play  
the piano           herself when she was
 a girl in ,germany--and looked         
at ,mary with a worried1 gentle1 almost 
heartbroken           look4             
8,when ,i was ten--that was when ,i     
stopped school and           went to

fingering the dust-cloth4 8,then ,i was 
eighteen           and ,i didn't have a 
piano yet1 and ,i was almost            
crazy4 ,eight years ,i have worked1 and 
,i haven't got           anything yet4  
,and what's worrying me now is where    
we're going to go4 ,we can't stay here4 
,other places           we've been we've
 had coal and things1 and our money     
could all go for the food and clothes4  
,but now           we've got to pay for 
a stove and coal40            ,she and  
her sister1 who is nineteen and who can 
play the piano by ear when she can find 
one to           play--,mary herself can
 only play with one hand by             
ear1 and 8people don't like to hear that
 kind o'           playing10 she        
says--and the oldest brother1 are the   
only ones who make money4 ,mary makes   
seven dollars           a week4 ,all of 
these details1 which she tells          
simply1 go to show that there is little 
hope for           a piano4 ,the little1
 crumpled mother from behind            

the chair she is leaning on says1 in her
 broken           way1 that a piano is  
not so easy to get1 and looks           
hopelessly at her daughter4             
8,then we got phonograph1 but she only  
cry every           time he play10 the  
mother said4            8,i can't bear  
to hear it10 interrupted ,mary4 8,i'd   
rather play myself40            ,and so 
finally the brother took the phonograph 
away1 about a month ago1 since it only  
made the           girl more miserable  
than ever4            8,and in every    
house ,i go to10 she said1 8there is    
a piano4 ,and one girl comes to the

,type of story4 ,as all forms of        
judicial procedure are included under   
court news1 stories of this class cover 
such matters as police court news1      
criminal trials1 civil suits1 divorce   
suits1 bankruptcy1 wills and other      
probate court matters1 decisions of     
higher courts1 and findings of judicial 
officers4 ,since much court news is of a
 routine character1 the matter-of-fact  
informative news story is a frequent    
medium for presenting it4 ,this does not
 imply that such news is necessarily dry

 and uninteresting1 for by bringing out 
salient and significant phases of such  
matters as decisions of higher courts1  
legal documents1 wills1 and bankruptcy  
cases1 as well as of criminal and civil 
suits1 the facts of the news can be made

p4 #gh74  ,purpose4 ,to give fair and   
accurate publicity to significant phases
 of the administration of justice is the
 obvious reason for the publication of  
court news4 ,court proceedings1 like    

those of legislative bodies1 are        
activities of important branches of     
government and hence are matters of     
public concern4 ,in reporting sessions  
of these bodies1 the writer's aim should
 be to direct the reader's attention to 
those details of the proceedings 7#a7   
that are significant to him personally1 
7#b7 that affect the interests of the   
community1 and 7#c7 that relate to the  
welfare of society as a whole4  ,the    
wide-spread publicity given by          
newspapers to the punishment inflicted  
on wrong-doers tends to deter others    
from similar illegal acts1 and thus aids
 in accomplishing the chief object of   
punishment4 8,the wages of sin is       
publicity10 as one editor has expressed 
it4 ,what has been said of the value of 
constructive stories of crime applies   
with equal force to stories of criminal 
trials4  ,destructive1 or anti-social1  
influences1 opposed to the best         
interests of organized society1 are     
found in those court                    

stories--particularly those of criminal 
and divorce cases--that play up         
disgusting or scandalous phases of such 
trials in order to gratify the morbid   
taste of some of their readers4 ,another
 evil connected with the newspaper's    
treatment of court news is the so-called
 8trying the case in the newspaper0 by  
means of news stories and editorials    
published before or during a trial4     
,some newspapers undertake to prove the 
innocence or the guilt of an accused    
person by printing whatever evidence    
they can secure1 even though some of it 
would be excluded from the trial under  
the rules of evidence4 ,in this way they
 create public opinion and arouse public
 feeling to such an extent as to prevent
 the accused person's having the fair   
trial to which he is entitled4          
,treatment of material4 ,to find matters
 of general significance and interest1  
particularly when they are buried in    
legal technicalities and verbiage1 and  
to present them clearly and attractively

 without sacrificing accuracy1 are the  
main problems in handling court news4   
,the task is not an easy one1 but it is 
worth doing well1 for court news1 if    
well treated1 can be made interesting   
and significant even to the casual      
reader4  ,the body of court news stories
 usually consists of summaries of       
arguments1 decisions1 testimony1 or     
legal documents1 or of excerpts from    
them1 with the necessary connective     
material4 ,in some instances the story  
is largely a history of the case or     
action and of the persons involved4 ,the
 lead is usually determined by the      
status of the case4 ,any one of the     
important points may be made the        
feature4  ,testimony in news stories is 
given in one of three forms3 7#a7 the   
question indicated by 8,q0 and the      
answer by 8,a10 both question and answer
 given in one paragraph without         
quotation marks1 7#b7 the question and  
the answer in quotation marks1 each     
followed by the necessary explanatory   

matter and each in a separate paragraph1
 like verbatim conversation in fiction1 
7#c7 a summary of the testimony of each 
witness in indirect quotation form1 with
 the name of the witness at or near the 
beginning of the first sentence of the  
summarized testimony4  ,contents of     
story4 ,because of the variety of       
material presented by different kinds of
 court news1 it is difficult to indicate
 specifically the points to be          
considered in each story4 ,among the    
important details1 however1 are 7#a7 the
 verdict and the conditions under which 
it was rendered1 7#b7 the sentence      
imposed1 7#c7 the decision rendered and 
its significance1 7#d7 important

have enforced           the ordinance   
prohibiting the handling of gasolene

the fire           hazard4              
,every city has a number of laws that   
are forgotten           because they are
 seldom enforced4 ,this is true of      
the gasolene ordinance here4 ,it was not
 generally           known that such a  
law was on the statute books            
until ,barney ,kolman was arraigned in  
the ,police           ,court yesterday1 
charged with violating it by            
selling fuel to a motorist at night4 ,he
 was fined           #aj or thirty days 

in jail by ,judge ,john ,e4 ,schwarz    
and the fine was remitted4              
8,no gasolene shall be handled in any   
way for           charging or filling   
any tank or repository by               
artificial light1 and never at all after
 sundown10           reads the

not more than #ajj and imprisonment not 
exceeding           thirty days1 either 
or both1 is provided4            8,it is
 dangerous to handle such a fire        
producer           as gasolene after    
sundown because people become           
careless and in many cases use open     
torches1           candles or matches1  
to get enough light to see              
what they are doing10 said the fire     
chief4 8,such           carelessness    
leads to increased danger from          
gasolene explosions40            ,it was
 because of efforts of the fire

become common1 that ,kolman1 whose place

built himself           a hut1 lived a  

queer gypsy life for weeks1 cooked      
his own meals and slept in his queer

 that his           own mother would

because ,i am his stepmother4 ,from     
the time he was seven years old he would
 hardly           speak to his father1

home4 ,my other stepchildren love me4   
,but he will           not4 ,i could not
 pet him4 ,he would shrink from me4     
,or he would laugh4 ,i thought all the  
time that when           he got older it
 would be all right4 ,but it was not4   
,the older he got the less he would     
think of this as           his home4 ,he
 would always run away40                
,this habit of the boy brought him into 
the ,flatbush           ,court yesterday
 on a charge of being incorrigible4     
,when the boy disappeared the last time 
he made his           way to a spot     
about half a mile from his home4 ,it    
is in a garden overgrown with rank weeds

carpenter shop4 ,the lot is at ,new     
,york           and ,thirteenth avenues1
 ,brooklyn4            ,the boy built a 
house of old planks1 nailed             
together with a carpenter-like          
proficiency4 ,inside           he       
constructed for himself a couch and a   
fireplace           with a chimney      
outlet2 on a peg on the wall hung       
a stiff whisk-broom with which the      
earthen floor           might be kept   
smooth4            ,the youngster also  
put up pegs on which he hung            
an extra suit of clothes4 ,he was not   
without           an artistic sense1 for
 he nailed to the walls                 
cartoons and other newspaper drawings1

that of ,president ,taft1 with a

ex-,president and the lonely ,taft      
exclaiming3           8,nobody loves a  
fat man40 ,the boy was evidently in     

sympathy with the loneliness of the fat 
man4            ,for six weeks the      
youngster made his home in this         
hut4 ,scraps of dry bread were the only 
signs of           food in the place    
when he was arrested4 ,but word         
was sent him that one of his little     
stepsisters1           of whom he was   
very fond1 had been awake all night     
crying for his return4 ,when he heard   
that he went           back home4 ,it   
was true about the little girl crying   
for him4 ,but also1 when he got back his
 father           handed him a summons  
to appear in the ,flatbush              
,police ,court4 ,at that the boy flew   
into a rage4           ,he tore the     
summons to bits and flung them at his   
father4 ,his father thereupon caused his
 arrest4            ,in court yesterday

answer turned to the ,judge4

the theft of           the money-laden  
satchel was not premeditated1 but       
that the gang had set out to 8work0 the

           now awaiting trial1 cleverly 
sneaked the satchel           at the

him while he slipped out of             
the bank4            ,watts1 whom       
,wilson's testimony clearly showed      
to have been an accomplice1 was bound   
over to           ,municipal court4

,wilson told his story freely and fully1
 using           considerable slang4    
8,two days before this deal was pulled  
off ,i had a           talk with ,watts 
in a saloon in ,chicago2 he sent me     
a note by ,oates to meet him10 said     
,wilson4 8,i had           been out of

in on the scheme of cracking a crib in

 had three other fellows to go          
along4            8,i agreed and ,watts

to work the banks4 ,we went to the

fixed that ,bangs should turn the trick4
 ,we four sat           on one of the   
benches near a window4 ,in a minute     
,bangs signaled us to come up1 and we   
did4            8,while the messenger   
was looking over some papers            
,bangs reached under and grabbed the    
satchel4 ,then           we crowded     
around and blanketed him until he had   
gotten out of the bank4 ,then we went   
out and           scattered4 ,i saw

opened the           satchel1 and ,i saw
 it was filled with paper and           
silver4 ,he kept the paper money1 tied  
in packages1           and loaded all   
the silver on me4 ,of course ,i did     
not count it1 for we were right on the

caught an interurban car for ,racine at

thrust a nickel in the hand of the boy4

,united ,states4            8,i loved   
chemistry from the time ,i was a boy10  
said           ,wilson from his cell4   
8,that was really my downfall4          
,i was left alone in the world when ,i  
was seven           and ,i sold papers  
for years4 ,i do not know why           
chemistry had such a fascination1 but   
when ,i was           still in knee     
breeches and earning a few pennies a    
day ,i saved until ,i could buy         
second-hand books on           the      
science4 ,i studied at every possible   
moment1           and although my       

,english is not the best in the

,i wanted           enough money to     
enable me to give up my life to         
chemical research4 ,to achieve this ,i  
wanted a trade           and engraving  
seemed to open the doors to a good      
salary1 as well as allow me to come in  
contact with           chemicals4 ,i got
 a position after ,i had taught         
myself the rudiments of the trade and   
discovered ,i           had a talent for
 drawing4 ,but the salary ,i received   
did not seem to be enough to allow me to
 obtain the           realization of the
 dreams for many years4            8,one
 day ,i picked up a magazine and there  
was a           story by ,detective     
,burns on counterfeiting4 ,i read       

it and then read several following      
stories4 ,the           idea came to me 
slowly1 bit by bit1 that here was a     
way whereby ,i could obtain enough to   
buy a private           laboratory4 ,if 
,i could make bills good enough ,i      
thought they would continue to circulate
 and no           one would lose4 ,i    
tried it and ,i have failed4

their sentences4 ,they would never      
have known the horrors of imprisonment

were tools that ,i used and ,i do not   
believe any of them knew just how       
serious a thing           they were     
getting into4            8,i shall be as
 good a prisoner as ,i know how1        
and should ,i be released before my

,schepps1 testified for six hours and a 
quarter yesterday in the trial of

 the qualities that made him the joy    
of the gamblers in their lighter hours4 
,murder trials are not supposed to be   
humorous           affairs and ,justices
 bend severe glances upon               

flippant witnesses1 but ,schepps somehow
 dissipated           the gravity of the
 proceedings and lightened           the
 black tale of crime4 ,even the austere 
,judge           permitted his eyes to  
twinkle and some of the           jurors
 laughed outright4            ,schepps  
was so pleased with himself1 so proud of
           his skill in coping with     
,john ,f4 ,mc,intyre1 his               
inquisitor1 so naive in his appeals to  
,justice           ,goff1 so pugnacious 
and alert that his listeners            
were in smiles most of the time4 ,he    
took it for           granted that the  
court appreciated him at his own        
valuation1 and ,justice ,goff seemed to 
regard him           as an extraordinary
 specimen of another world1 one         
that must not be banged about by counsel
 for fear           of the total loss of
 a curiosity worth studying4            
,but the amusing characteristics of the 
,state's           principal            
corroborative witness by no means       

lessened the effect of the testimony he 
gave           against ,lieut4 ,becker4 
,resisting every device of              
,mr4 ,mc,intyre to trap him into        
admitting he was           an accomplice
 with ,rose1 ,webber and ,vallon1 and   
insisting that he was kept in the dark  
and used           only as an errand boy
 by ,rose and ,webber1 ,schepps         
swore that the night after the murder he
 talked           with ,becker in       
,becker's house and that ,becker sent   
this message to ,rose3                  
8,don't mind anything4 ,i'll fix it all 
right4 ,they           have to prove who
 killed ,rosenthal before they can      
convict any one40            ,and       
,schepps added that ,becker1 in the     
darkened           dining room of the   
apartment1 wouldn't let him             
smoke and said3            8,don't light
 that match4 ,somebody is across the    
street and if they see a light they will
 suspect           something4 ,they have
 been trailing me all day40             

,schepps was an exasperating witness to 
,mr4           ,mc,intyre4 ,he had the  
dimmest of memories for times           
and dates1 but he had an extraordinary  
faculty for           recalling previous
 statements1 and he frequently          
corrected the lawyer4 ,mr4 ,mc,intyre   
resorted to the           traditional   
methods of hectoring and storming and   
fist shaking1 but ,schepps hectored and 
stormed and           gestured back at  
him4 ,once he called ,mr4 ,mc,intyre    
a liar for saying he had paid the       
gunmen1 and           while ,mr4        
,mc,intyre was fuming before the jury   
and           shouting that ,schepps was
 8a thing10 8a creature10           the 
witness was suavely and deferentially   
apologizing to the court for 8language  
that a           gentleman ought not to 
use40            ,lieut4 ,becker's chief
 counsel concentrated his               
efforts to make ,schepps say something  
that would           indicate that he   
knew ,rosenthal was to be murdered      

and that he was one of the conspirators4
 ,it was an           attack of the     
utmost importance to the defence4 ,a    
good deal of ,becker's money had been   
spent in an           excursion to ,hot 
,springs1 made for the purpose of       
showing that ,schepps had incriminated  
himself while           there and had   
exculpated ,becker4            ,lawyer  
,hart1 who was with ,rose the night     
,schepps           was with ,becker1    
cross-examined ,schepps about his       
conversations with ,hot ,springs people 
and failed           absolutely to      
establish contradiction4 ,mc,intyre     
had tried his hand at this work         
previously1 and           had raged when
 ,schepps volunteered the statement     
that one of the principal ,hot ,springs 
witnesses for           the defence had 
been a pickpocket in ,new ,york for     
twenty years4            ,mr4 ,mc,intyre
 and ,mr4 ,hart gave up the             
cross-examination late in the evening1  
apparently           running out of     

ammunition4 ,mr4 ,mc,intyre insisted    
plaintively that he was wearied1 totally
 exhausted1           unable to         
continue1 which drew from ,justice

humor1 the comment3            8,tut1

           exhausted4 ,i am upward of   
#gj years old40            ,schepps was 
the only witness yesterday4 ,it had been
           the purpose of the           
prosecution to call ,mrs4 ,herman       
,rosenthal1 but there was no time left  
for the long           examination that 
would be necessary and ,justice         
,goff rather reluctantly consented to   
adjournment4           ,the widow of the
 murdered gambler will be the first     
witness to-day4            ,when        
,schepps appeared from the witness room 
at           #aj3cj ,a4 ,m4 all eyes    
were turned in his direction4           
,from the first he has been one of the  
most           interesting characters of
 this case4 ,his childlike              

vanity1 his delight at posing as an     
oracle           among the rudely       
informed men and women of the           
underworld1 his reputation for impudence
 and wit1           his adventures      
dodging detectives in the ,catskills    
and his sojourn among admiring citizens 
in ,hot           ,springs had given him
 a kind of reputation second            
only to that of ,rose4            ,he   
was nervous at first4 ,his sharp eyes   
squinted           behind his nose      
glasses and his glances darted          
sidewise4 ,he twisted his fingers       
together and tried           to cross   
his legs1 a proceeding frowned upon by  
the           court officer who stands  
at the witness chair4            ,he    
wore a blue suit1 a black four-in-hand  
tie and           black low shoes1 and  
he carefully drew up his                
sharply pressed trousers so that his    
white silk           socks would be     
exposed4            ,as the day went on 
he lost much of his nervousness         

and controlled his tendency to          
flippancy1 but he           became more 
and more pugnacious and more and more   
determined that counsel for the defence 
should not           get the better of  
him4            ,assistant ,district

the decision of the           ,appellate
 ,division of the ,supreme ,court1      
,first           ,division1 when it     
reversed a case which the lower         
court had decided against a ,manhattan  

department           store4 ,the        
reversal in favor of the department     
store was given by the court on an      
appeal taken by           the attorney1 
,abraham ,oberstein1 of #bii ,broadway1 
,manhattan4            ,this case is of 
considerable importance to              
employers1 for the reason that their    
employes           often get into       
altercations with employes of other     
concerns1 damages sometimes ensue1 and  
then the           question arises      
whether the employer is responsible     
for the acts of his servant4 ,as the    
justices of           the ,appellate    
,division view the question1 the        
issue is not whether an inflicter of    
damages was           in the employ of a
 certain firm1 but whether he           
was promoting the firm's interest in    
inflicting           the damages4 ,if he
 was1 then the master is                
responsible1 providing it was within the
 scope of           the employer's      
duties1 and if it was not1 then the

court decided for ,miller1 but ,lawyer

concurred in by ,justice ,mc,lean1      

says3            8,the test of liability
 in such cases depends upon             
the question whether the injury was     
committed by           the authority of 
the master1 expressly conferred1        
or fairly inferable from the nature of  
the           employment and the duties 
incident thereto4 ,the           mere   
statement of this rule answers the      
question           in favor of the      
defendant in this case4 ,the act of     
the driver was a wilful and malicious   
act4 ,it was           not done in      
furtherance of his master's business    
and was in no way connected with or     
incident to           the performance of
 any of the duties intrusted            
to him as a driver1 or which could be   
considered           as promoting the   
defendant's interests4 ,the rule

prove           any liability on the

accident ,florence has been of a        
cheerful frame of           mind1       
probably because her true condition has 
been           carefully withheld from  
her4            ,at the time of the     
accident1 the two girls were            
appearing in a singing and dancing act

theatricals on account of their talent  
along that line4 ,later1 the girls were 
offered a           vaudeville          
engagement with a song and dance act4

that has           become               
internationally famous in suffrage      
circles4           ,in effect1 it is    
much more sweeping than the bare        
recorded fact would indicate1 including 
in its wide           range a host of   
women1 in and out of states where       
they have the vote1 who are married to  
men not           citizens of the       
,united ,states4            ,it means1  
applied locally1 simply this3 ,a woman  
born in ,california1 herself a citizen  
of the ,united           ,states with   
the right to vote1 automatically        
relinquishes her citizenship and that

citizenship papers in this country1     
makes ,mrs4           ,mackenzie1 by the
 ruling of the supreme court1 an        
alien in the eyes of the law of the     
,united ,states4            ,a curious  
feature of the unusual case is that     
,mrs4           ,mackenzie was one of   
the most ardent of the workers

,,of ,,attorney ,,general               
,wisconsin ,state ,journal              
,excess fare cannot be charged of       
passengers on the           railroads of
 ,wisconsin when tickets are purchased  
on the trains1 unless provision is made 
to refund           the amount of       
overcharge4            ,this is the     
effect of an opinion rendered by        
,attorney ,general ,f4 ,l4 ,gilbert     
today4 ,prior to the           passage  
of the two-cent fare law the            
,northwestern           and ,st4 ,paul  
roads charged #aj cents in addition to  
the regular fare when the fare was paid 
on trains4           ,this practice was 
temporarily discontinued when the       
two-cent fare law was passed1 because of
 the heavy           penalty provided   
for violations4 ,an attempt has         
been made to find out if the railroad   
commission           would not permit   

this additional fee being charged4      
,an opinion was asked of the attorney   
general4 ,he           said3            
8,it seems to me that the plain spirit1 
intent and           purpose of the law 
in question was to establish a          
maximum passenger rate beyond which     
common carriers           could not1 in 
any event1 go and retain the excess     
as their absolute property4             
8,i am therefore of the opinion that    
such excess           fare cannot be    
legally collected from a passenger      
unless provision is made for refund1 or 
an act of           the legislature is  
passed allowing the collection          
and retention of said excess as a       
penalty for           failure to        
purchase a ticket at a point where      
facilities are provided40               
,about two weeks ago1 ,lloyd ,w4        
,bowers1 general           counsel for  
the ,northwestern and ,burton ,hanson1  
general solicitor for the ,st4 ,paul1   
brought this           matter before the

 commission4 ,during the course         
of a conference1 the railroads claimed  
that the           old law allowing an  
excess fare to be charged had           
not been abrogated4 ,the attorney       
general held           differently4

his wife and his gold4 ,she             
had faded during those years when #a was
 made to           last longer than #aj 
would now4            8,i am just in his
 way now10 said ,mrs4 ,smith to         
,judge ,van ,zile1 while testifying in  
her suit for           divorce4 ,the    
doctor filed his bill several months    
ago and she filed a cross-bill4         

,a younger girl1 with golden hair1 red  
cheeks and           lips has come      
between the doctor and his wife1        
according to ,mrs4 ,smith4              
8,i filled in all right when someone was
 needed to           slave and dig the  
dirt out of the office floors           
and dust the furniture10 continued the  
woman4 8,he           didn't have time  
to look at me then to see whether       
,i looked good to him or not4           
8,we worked mechanically1 shoulder to   
shoulder4 ,i           played my part   
and he played his4 ,the business and    
my husband's bank account would lead    
anyone to           think that it was a 
success40            ,mrs4 ,smith1 a    
little woman1 her eyes filled           
with tears1 seemed to reflect a moment  
and then           continued3           
8,perhaps it is a success4 ,it seems    
that success           must be measured 
in dollars and cents no matter who      
gets the gold4 ,he undoubtedly is happy1
 but--,i--,i           am a wreck40     

,mrs4 ,smith said that when her baby was
 born her           husband told her not
 to stay in the hospital too            
long as she was needed in the office4   
,she says that           she left the   
hospital in three weeks and the child   
died at the end of five weeks4          
8,it was always so10 she continued4 8,he
 always           wanted me in the      
office and ,i was willing to stay4      
,it was only a few years ago that he    
went abroad1           and ,i remained  
at home1 as we both agreed that         
it would cost too much for us both4     
,then he took           several other   
equally expensive trips1 but he never   
asked me to go40            ,mrs4 ,smith
 said she and her husband had always    
been           active in the            
,summerfield ,methodist church1 and     
that her husband even carried his       
dislike for her           to the church1
 urging her not to go to any of the     
meetings1 either social or religious4   
8,i was active in home missionary work10

 said ,mrs4           ,smith1 8and he   
told me that it didn't look well for    
me always to be mixing in with the      
church affairs4           ,i told him ,i
 couldn't conscientiously drop my       
church work and wouldn't40              
,mrs4 ,smith declared her husband had   
told her he           couldn't afford to
 live with her any longer as she        
wasn't so attractive as another girl he 
knew and           her company tired him
 instead of affording him rest          
and comfort4            8,his father    
also told me that ,i might as well      
get out right away as ,walter had to    
have some one           younger and more
 attractive10 she said4 8,the old       
father said3 #8,you don't fit into      
,walter's station           in life and 
you might as well get out without a     
fuss1 as you will have to move some     
time4'0            ,mrs4 ,smith         
testified that her husband's practice   
is worth between #djj and #fjj a week1  
and that he           owns three        

automobiles4            8,i just rode in
 one of them1 however10 she added4      
8,the office girl rides in them most of 
the time40            ,dr4 ,smith stated
 in his bill that his wife had an       
ungovernable temper and that she called 
up his           patients and advised   
them not to consult him4 ,the           
doctor further stated that these and    
other things           ruined his health
 and his business4            ,mrs4

character of these statements a few days
 ago in           an audit of the books1
 and at once took steps to

proceeds of #a1jjj1jjj worth of

to take up short term notes and to      
buy warehouses and plants to prevent

believe exorbitant sums were paid for

             exonerating ,link brothers 
for blame for the             financial 

straits of the ,company4            ,an 
official of one of the four ,chicago    
banks which           hold nearly       
#b1ejj1jjj of the firm's paper said     
that the receiver was appointed after   
the banks had           learned that    
some persons connected with ,robert     
,z4 ,link  ,co4 had issued misleading   
statements           concerning its     
volume of business4 ,the ,link          
brothers are not believed to have known 
anything           about these false    
statements4            ,the company1 it 
appears1 has a number of ambitious      
managers of its branch houses in various
 parts           of the country4 ,each  
manager gets a percentage           on  
his total sales4 ,some of them1 to      
obtain the           commission1 it is  
asserted1 juggled their reports         
in such a manner that their total sales 
appeared           to be much larger    
than they really were1 and the          
annual report was in consequence        
misleading4 ,the           company had  

no system of checking up these reported 
sales1 and it was not until the bankers 
put an           auditing firm upon the 
books1 after they suspected             
something following the issuance of the 
last annual           statement1 that   
the discrepancies were discovered4      
,the fact that the last annual statement
 does not           account for new     
money1 the proceeds of the last         
stock issue1 also is being investigated4
            ,secretary ,arthur had a    
different explanation to           make4
            8,the panic of last fall1   
and vegetarianism to           which the
 poor were reduced when thrown out of   
employment10 he declared1 8are          
responsible for most           of our   
troubles4            8,it is a well     
known fact that the company supplied    
two-thirds of the oysters1 fish1 and all
 sea food           eaten in this       
country4 ,the bulk of this trade is     
among poor people4 ,the company's chief 
business has           been in fish that

 retails at #h1 #aj1 and #ae cents a    
pound1 especially in large cities4 ,we  
depended most           upon our        
business in fresh water fish--the       
largest           in the world in       
herring1 lake perch and such            
cheaper varieties4 ,this trade came from
 working           people4              
8,when the working people were thrown   
out of           employment and stopped 
buying fish1 our trade fell             
off tremendously4 ,it has just begun to 
pick up1 and           if the bankers   
had not taken alarm and had given       
us a little more time1 we should have   
come out all           right40          
,mr4 ,arthur said that the #a1jjj1jjj   
acquired in the           last issue of 
preferred stock had mostly gone to      
pay short term notes4                   
,receiver ,harrison in the afternoon    
went to ,lake           ,geneva to hold 
a conference with ,judge ,kohlsaat1     
who had been originally selected as the 
judge           before whom the         

receivership proceedings were to be     
held4            8,i wish to secure the 
fullest authority for                   
conducting the business1 which is based 
so largely           upon perishable    
products1 so that there will be         
no loss10 said ,mr4 ,harrison4 8,i      
already have           that power1 but  
,i want to have it specified more       
clearly40            ,representatives   
from several railroads called on        
,mr4 ,harrison before his departure to  
ask what           should be done with  
quantities of fish that were            
standing in the cars on sidetracks4 ,the
 company           has #fjj1jjj in      
available cash to carry on its          
business4 ,it is estimated that         
#a1jjj1jjj will be           needed4    
,mr4 ,harrison made a statement in which
 he said3            8,from the         
examination of the books of ,robert     
,z4 ,link  ,co4 that has been possible  
since my           appointment as       
receiver ,i should say that the ,link   

family owns about #fj per cent of the   
preferred1 and           about #ej per  
cent of the common stock4 ,when the     
#a1jjj1jjj of preferred stock was issued
 within the           year1 it would    
appear that the ,link family paid       
their assessment on this stock and took 
their full           pro rata1 and ,i   
cannot find that any transfer of        
any of their shares has been made40

,w4 ,williams            ,co4 has played
 recently in the money market has

,cuban           ,american ,sugar

formed the ,colonial concern by merging

interested4 ,the venture was            
unprofitable1 and it was said last night

was not ,glenn ,h4 ,curtiss1 but ,albert

maker of ,staten ,island4            ,in
 #aiaj ,mr4 ,curtiss began testing a    
canoe device           to carry the     
planes on the water till the momentum   
necessary to lift them was obtained1 but
 it did not           work4             
,in the controversy that followed the   
use of the           present device1    

which consists mainly of outrigging     
to keep the planes on an even keel1 it  
came out           that ,mr4 ,janin had 
really produced the device in           
#aiji1 about a year before ,mr4 ,curtiss
 had failed to           raise his      
machines at ,hammondsport4              
,thomas ,a4 ,hill1 a lawyer1 of #bcc    
,broadway1 took up           ,janin's   
claims and put them before the examiners
 of           ,interference of the      
,patent ,office4 ,mr4 ,hill alleged     
that on ,july #c1 #aiaj1 ,curtiss tried 
four times in           vain to raise   
his plane from ,lake ,keuka2 also that  
,curtiss admitted the failure4 ,it was  
shown that           drawings of the    
successful device now in use were       
made by ,janin long before this date1   
and that he           tried to build a  
machine to test it in operation1        
but couldn't get the money4             
,mr4 ,curtiss contended that the device 
was his1 and           that it had      
failed at ,lake ,keuka because the      

motors           were not strong enough 
to do their share of the           work4
 ,in deciding against ,mr4 ,janin the   
,examiners           of ,interference   
said3              ,while he 7,curtiss7 
was thus engaged ,janin was             
sleeping on his rights1 from which      
slumber he did             not awake    
until after the achievements of ,curtiss
             had been widely published4 
,then the case was taken before the     
,board of           ,examiners1 who     
found for ,mr4 ,janin4 ,their opinion   
reads in part3              ,he 7,janin7
 is a poor man1 evidently struggling    
for a sufficient income to meet his     
current             living expenses4    
,from what his witnesses testify1       
it is apparent that he was continuously 
striving             to raise funds to  
develop his ideas1 which were           
regarded by many as illusionary4        
,it also came out that ,janin1 in the   
years he was           working on his   
water flyer1 was the butt of many1      

who looked upon him as unbalanced by one
 idea4            ,concerning the       
statements of ,curtiss that his         
motors were not powerful enough1 the    
,examiners said3              ,an excuse
 of this kind for failure to make       
flights could probably be advanced in   
good faith             by hundreds of   
inventors of aeroplanes1 who have       
been seeking patents for the last forty 
or fifty             years4             
,mr4 ,hill said yesterday that ,janin's 
success           probably would make   
him wealthy2 also that an               
order for #bjj hydroaeroplanes is       
awaiting any           manufacturer who 
can furnish security that they can      
be delivered4 ,he said the order was    
from one of the           belligerents  
in ,europe1 but did not know which4     
8,the ,curtiss factory10 he said1 8can  
turn out about           ten planes a   
week at a cost of about #g1jjj each4    
,but no matter who turns them out they  
will have to           pay a royalty to

to its highest court--the

a day is barely enough to provide the

8,for years we           have felt the

guess that day           is past4 ,you  
know the decision of the patent office  
gives me a royalty on every             
hydro-aeroplane turned           out in 
this country dating from the day a few  

weeks           hence on which my patent
 is printed and issued           by the 
government4 ,mr4 ,hill tells me that the
           royalty can be fixed         
arbitrarily by the inventor4            
,the failure of any of these companies  
building           hydro-aeroplanes to  
come to terms1 of course1 would         
be followed by an infringement suit1 but

difficulty4            8,what will ,i do
 with the money8 ,the first thing       
will be to get a home of our own with   
plenty of           ground around it for

yesterday a young woman arrived at the

returning the           baby to its

,col4 ,robert ,a4 ,hammond1 who was in  
,jersey ,city most           of the     
afternoon yesterday1 said when he       
returned           to his office at #af 
,broadway that he was acquainted        
with the provisions of the will and had 
been at           ,col4 ,ward's office  
during the afternoon4 ,he said he       
was to see the will at #i o'clock this  

morning1 and           was not aware    
that it had been admitted to probate4   
8,no one has any cause for complaint    
over the           will10 said ,col4    
,hammond4 8,it was just what might      
have been expected from the fairest1    
smartest boy           that ever walked 
the face of ,god's green earth4 ,no     
more generous chap ever lived than that 
boy1 and if           he had not        
remembered his employees as he has done 
it would have been most unlike him4 ,his
 relatives           do not begrudge the
 money he has left to those he          
chose to reward4            8,there has 
never been the slightest break in the   
cordial relationship between ,walter and
 myself or           between him and any
 other member of the family4 ,all       
this talk that has come up since my     
brother's death           is pure       
foolishness4 ,i am the oldest and the   
head           of the family1 and the   
relationship between ,walter            
and me has been almost that of father   

and son4 ,i           gave him his first
 start in life when he was a boy4       
,i have never asked anything from him or
 from any           one else in my life 
and ,i do not ask it now4               
8,walter was the pleasantest1 sunniest  
boy you ever           knew4 ,he did not
 sit at the right hand of ,mr4          
,parkhurst1 but nothing ever came up to 
smirch his           record during his  
lifetime1 and nothing will come         
up now that he is dead4            8,we 
are all sorry that our best brother was 
killed           and our thoughts are   
not on the provisions of his            
will1 but on seeing that the man who    
shot him down           without giving  
him a chance for his life is made       
to suffer the full penalty of his act4  
,my entire           time from now on   
will be devoted to that purpose4        
,there isn't the slightest doubt that ,i
 will get my           brother's        
murderer4 ,i haven't been wasting any   
time           since ,walter's death4   

8,i know that the man who murdered my   
brother has           been sleeping well
 every night and eating three           
square meals a day4 ,i don't propose to 
permit           him to escape with an  
insanity plea4 ,i have been             
going over the testimony of seventeen   
witnesses           with the prosecutor 
and helping to get it into              
shape4 ,my experience in that line makes
 me of some           assistance1 and ,i
 intend to see the prosecutor           
every day if necessary1 in order that   
full justice           may be done to my
 brother's murder40            7#b7

 was seriously ill and for a long       

time it was a question as to his        
recovery4 ,we made           every      
effort to save him and felt a keen      
personal           delight when we knew 
we had won4 ,he had always1 up          
to the time of his death1 remembered all
 of us1           sending us presents   
and flowers at the holidays and         
in many ways showing his deep gratitude4
            8,we were notified by his   
secretary immediately           after   
his death1 but until to-day we had no   
idea           that he had remembered us
 in his will4 ,i had charge           of
 his case two months and then had to    
take another           patient4 ,miss   
,van ,horn was with him five months     
during his convalescence40

 of laughing and dancing feet4

 such a smiling countenance as

 ,mr4 ,hammond's great                  
kindness10 she said4 8,just think of    
#ejj2 why it's           a nest egg for 
a fortune6 ,he has always done so       
many nice things for us girls ever since
 we cared           for him1 but to     
think of his remembering us in his      
will6 ,i was with him several months and
 we grew to           be great friends  
after the crisis of his illness         
was past4            8,he often came to 
,chicago1 and frequently would          
call us up on arriving and arrange for  
us all to           go to the theater1

,republican            ,the bequest of a
 bit of the wool of ,mary's lamb to     
the ,somerville historical society in   
the will of           ,mrs ,p4 ,h4      
,derby1 which was entered in the probate
           court in this city yesterday1
 brings to light the                    
interesting information that the nursery
 jingle1           8,mary had a little  
lamb1 its fleece was white as           
snow10 had a basis in fact4 ,the piece  
of wool in           question was given 
to ,mrs ,derby in #ahhj by ,mrs ,mary   
,e4 ,tyler1 the original of the little  
lamb jingle4           ,it is a piece of

 yarn tied in a bow and fastened        
on a piece of paper with pale blue      
ribbon4 ,under           it is written  
the words1 8wool from ,mary's lamb40    
,it seems that when the ,old ,south     
church of ,boston           became      
involved financially one of the ways hit
           upon to raise money was      
suggested by ,mrs ,tyler4 ,she          
took a pair of old wool stockings that  
her mother           had knit for her   
from the wool of her pet lamb1          
and that she had never worn1 but kept in
 memory of           the departed lamb4 
,these were cut up into lengths         
and made into bows1 like the one that   
was in the           possession of ,mrs 
,derby1 and sold for #be cents          
each4 ,the result was that #bjj was     
realized1 and           thus the little 
lamb helped to save the ,old ,south     
church4            ,the story of ,mary  
and her lamb is authenticated and       
the incidents bear a close relation to  
the events           of the poem1 or    

rather1 jingle4 ,mary ,e4 ,sawyer was   
born in ,sterling1 ,march #bb1 #ahjf1   
and the house           in which she was
 born is still standing4 ,she had       
two sisters and four brothers1 none of  
whom ever           had themselves      
immortalized in rhyme as ,mary did4     
,mary's father was a farmer and kept    
sheep4 ,one           cold morning in   
,march1 #ahad1 just about #ajj years    
ago and one year over1 twin lambs were  
born in           the ,sawyer sheepfold 
one of which was to be known            
in nursery rhyme for time immemorial4   
,like all           geniuses1 she--for  
it was a girl--displayed the            
vagaries of it before she was many hours
 old4 ,so           much so in fact that
 her mother would have nothing          
of her4 ,little ,mary1 age eight1 took  
pity on the           young thing and   
asked her father if she might have      
it1 not thinking of the greatness that  
would come           of this charitable 
deed4 ,she fed and tended it1 and       

the two became very fond of one another4
            ,it was but natural that the
 lamb should in time           come to  
have a thirst for knowledge1 and1 as the
           first stanza of the jingle   
has it1 8,it followed           her to  
school one day10 8,which10 we are told1 
8was           against the rule10 and1  
as might be expected1 8it           made
 the children laugh and play1 to see a  
lamb at           school40 ,it seems    
that the teacher laughed too1 and       
everything was lovely for a time4 ,but  
discipline           had to be          
maintained1 and3--              ,so then
 the teacher turned it out1             
,but still it lingered near1            
,and waited patiently about             
,till ,mary did appear4            ,all 
of which is strictly true to fact4 ,it  
appears           that when ,mary       
arrived at the school the teacher       
had not come yet and so the mischievous 
,mary hid           the pet in her desk1
 which was a box-like affair4           

,when school began and the children were
 called out           for their classes1
 the lamb trotted out to have a

alas1 caused it           to be put     
without the pale4            ,now it    
happened1 so strange are the immutable  
workings of fate1 that a young man of   
#ag1 a           freshman at ,harvard1  
by the name of ,john ,roulstone1        
,jr41 was visiting the teacher at the   
school that           day4 ,the incident
 inspired him1 and a short time         
after he wrote and sent to ,mary the    
jingle that is           so well known4 
,the ideal way to have the thing work   
out would have been the marriage of     
,mary and the           budding genius4 
,but no1 he died a few years later1     
never having seen ,mary again1 so far as
 there is           any record4         
,the strain of being a celebrity was too
 much for           the lamb and after  
bearing up bravely under it             
for two years it gave up the struggle1  

got in the           way of a bull on   
,thanksgiving day1 #ahaf1 and was       
gored4 ,it died an hour later1 with its 
head on           ,mary's lap4          
,in #ahce ,mary was married to ,columbus
 ,tyler1           superintendent of the
 ,mc,clean hospital for the             
insane at ,somerville4 ,she became a    
matron at the           institution1 a  
position she held for #ce years1 and    
several years after her husband died4   
,she died           in ,somerville1     
,december #ab1 #ahhi1 and was buried    
in the ,mt ,auburn cemetery1 near       
,boston1 the same           cemetery in 
which the poet1 ,longfellow1 is buried4 
,the glowing example of what happened to
 ,mary ought           to inspire little
 children to be kind to dumb            
beasts that they too may some time taste
 the fruits           of immortality4

term 8meeting0 are included sessions of 
state legislatures1 meetings of         
municipal councils1 conventions of      

various organizations1 and meetings of  
local societies4 ,investigations and    
hearings as conducted by committees of  
legislative bodies are also placed in   
this class1 although they are often more
 like judicial proceedings4  ,the purely
 informative type of story is the common
 form for reporting meetings1           
investigations1 and hearings4 ,the parts
 of the proceedings that are of general 
interest and significance make up the   
contents of such stories 7cf4 8,state

the significance of the proceedings 7cf4

treatment1 and when the news interest in
 them is slight1 such stories about them

 constitute typical human interest      
stories 7cf4 8,old ,clothes ,men's      
,meeting10 p4 #abb74  ,purpose4 ,to give
 the facts accurately and as completely 
as their significance warrants should be
 the first aim in reporting proceedings 
of official bodies1 because1 like court 
proceedings1 they are matters of public 
concern4 ,the desire to accomplish some 
end1 no matter how laudable that end may
 be1 does not justify distortion or     
suppression of the news of the doings of
 official bodies4 ,a constructive       
purpose1 such as that of exposing       
sinister influences that may be         
affecting legislative action1 is        
entirely justifiable1 but distortion or 
suppression of facts in order to make   
out a stronger case is not legitimate   
and should not be necessary4            
,politically partisan news stories that 
misrepresent public matters in order to 
create opinion favorable to the cause   
that the paper upholds1 whether they be 
reports of official proceedings or of   

political campaign meetings1 not only   
hurt the reputation of the newspaper    
that publishes them but tend to cast    
doubt on the truthfulness of newspapers 
generally4  ,much more effort should be 
made by newspapers in this country to   
show the significance of acts of        
representative public bodies1 in        
relation not only to the home and       
business interests of the individual    
reader1 but to the welfare of the       
community1 the state1 and the nation4   
,intelligent interest in government on  
the part of the individual citizen1     
which is generally recognized as        
absolutely essential to the success of a
 democracy1 can be more effectively     
created through the news columns of the 
daily newspaper than by any other means4
  ,treatment4 ,to make interesting what 
is often considered dry and unattractive
 in proceedings of various public       
meetings1 is the chief problem in       
writing news stories concerning them4   
,simple1 clear explanation of the       

meaning of significant parts of the     
proceedings1 lively accounts of debate  
on various measures1 and vivid          
description of persons and scenes       
connected with them--all add to the     
interest of the stories4 ,too often1    
however1 insignificant incidents of     
casual interest are played up as        
features of meetings of importance to   
the subordination or even to the        
exclusion of matters of vital concern4  
,testimony in investigations and        
hearings sometimes has dramatic phases  
like that in court trials4 ,the         
questions and the answers in these      
proceedings are handled like those in   
court stories1 and testimony is dealt   
with in much the same manner 7cf4

,senator           ,borah1 at a brief   
session of the committee this           
afternoon1 read into the record several 
excerpts           from the constitution
 of ,west ,virginia4 ,the first         
was the provision declaring that the    
constitution           of the state and 
of the ,united ,states shall always     
be in effect4 ,the second provision     
declared1 under           no            
circumstances shall the right of habeas 
corpus           be denied4             
,the third was the usual provision that 
no citizen           shall be deprived  
of life1 liberty or property            
without due process of law4 ,the fourth 
set forth           that the military   
authority shall not supersede the       
civil powers1 even under the plea of    
necessity1 and           others provided
 for trial by jury in open court for    
all criminal offenses4            ,the  
activities of the state authorities in  

connection with the strike will be      
probed by           the committee1 in   
view of these constitutional            
guarantees1 and the charge that the mine
 workers           have not been        
accorded their full rights will be      
investigated with these provisions in

 the           ,senate authorizing the  
inquiry4            ,the operators in   
their brief made the counter            
charge that the ,united ,mine ,workers

8to organize0 the coal miners in        
the ,west ,virginia field1 was          
responsible for the           violence  
which has characterized the strike4

prove that           firearms and       
ammunition were brought into the state  
8for acts of lawlessness and violence1  
which were           designed to keep

was president of the second military    
court which took charge of the strike   
district4           ,both told the      
committee that their proceedings        
were conducted without regard to the    
civil laws           of the state2 that 
they arrested1 arraigned1

courts and without regard to            
the limitations imposed by the statutes 
of ,west           ,virginia4           
8,we considered that the strike district
 was in a           state of actual     
warfare10 said ,captain ,morgan1 8and   
we acted according to the procedure of  
the ,united           ,states ,army in  

time of war40            8,but the      
constitution of the state provides10    
interjected ,attorney ,monnet1 for the  
miners1 8that           the military    
shall be subordinate to the civil       
power1 and that no citizen1 unless      
engaged in           military service of

punished for any offense that is        
cognizable by the           civil courts
 of the state40            8,my         
understanding was10 replied ,captain    
,morgan1           8that during the     
state of insurrection which             
prevailed1 the constitution of the state
 of ,west           ,virginia was       
suspended by the acts of those men who  
were burning1 killing and destroying    
property4            8,we believed that 
to perpetuate the state of ,west        
,virginia and restore the constitution  
was to use           extreme measures40 
,a dozen pictures of men clad in prison 
clothing           were identified by   
,major ,pratt as those of men who

            ,senator ,borah elicited    
that ,captain ,morgan1 as a             
lawyer1 believed that there was no      
appeal from the           decision of   
the commission1 if approved by the      
,governor1 except to the ,supreme court 
of the ,united           ,states4       
8,then a man did not have to commit a   
statutory           offense to make     
himself amenable to the action of       
your commission80 asked ,attorney       
,monnet4            8,no40              
8,you could arraign him for anything    
that in your           estimation was an
 offense80            8,yes1 except that

 the ,governor's proclamation           
specified statutory offenses40          
,senator ,martine ascertained that after
 the           commission had heard the 
testimony in a case it           went   
into secret session1 executed sealed    
findings           after the manner of a
 verdict1 and sent them to the          
,governor4 ,it was developed that       
forty-nine accused           men were   
tried at one time by the commission4    
8,there was no opportunity given a man  
to secure a           new trial1 or     
bail1 no possibility of a stay of       
execution2 your decision was final10    
suggested ,mr4           ,monnet4       
8,yes40            8,if you had         
sentenced a man to death1 there was no

in from the           hills today1 and  
the attorneys for the ,mine ,workers    
weeded out the witnesses they wanted to 
call4            ,following today's     
speedy work1 the committee              
decided to divide up the inquiry        
tomorrow1 allowing           ,senator   
,borah to proceed alone with the peonage
           investigation1 and probably  
requiring ,senator           ,kenyon to 
begin an individual inquiry into general
           conditions in the strike     
zone1 while the remainder           of

,petrucci1 a coal           miner's

commission how her three small children 
met death           at her side in the  
,ludlow strike massacre of #aiad4       
,women wept and tense faced men bent    
forward           eagerly1 as the       
bareheaded1 black clad woman1 in        
low1 passive tones1 reflecting the deep 
melancholy           of her face1       
recited the dramatic events of the      
night of ,april #bj1 when fire and      
machine guns swept           the        
strikers' camp in the southern ,colorado
 hills1           collecting a toll of  
twelve children1 two women           and
 five men4 ,it was a remarkable recital 
and a           memorable scene4        
,mrs4 ,petrucci is #bd years old4 ,she  
was born of           ,italian parents  
in a ,colorado mining camp4 ,she was    
married at the age of #af and had four  
children when           the strike of   
the ,colorado ,fuel  ,iron company      
employes was declared in #aiac4 ,she    

lost one child           in ,march of   
the following year as a result of       
privations occasioned by the strike4    
,with the grief           of that loss  
still upon her she went to live in the  
tent colony at ,ludlow after the        
strikers had been           driven from 
the company settlement4 ,there the final
           tragedy of her life was      
enacted4            ,she took the       
witness stand today with listless       
manner and haunted eyes4 ,throughout her
 testimony           she alternately bit
 at her finger nails and twisted        
in her frail hands a cotton             
handkerchief4            ,her sweet     
voice at no time rose above a           
conversational tone1 and the matter of  
fact manner           in which she told 
the story of her grief served           
only to bring out with more striking    
force its           tragic import4      
8,yes10 she said in answer to ,chairman 
,walsh's           questions1 8we had   
good times in the tent colony4          

,i liked it there better than in the    
company camp4           ,over there the 
militia came up every day and           
insulted us4 ,the ,sunday before the    
fire was the           ,greek ,easter4  
,the men in the camp celebrated it4     
,we had a baseball game1 and that night 
there was           singing1 and the    
boys came with banjos and we had a      
good time40            ,into this       
background of merriment she fitted the  
picture of the woe that followed4       
8,april #bj ,i didn't leave our tent at 
all10 she           said4 8,our tent was
 ,no4 #a1 and right behind it was       
the maternity tent4 ,a cellar had been  
dug in that           tent and there    
several babies were born while we       
lived in the colony4 ,we also had a     
cellar in our           tent4 ,it was   
about #f o'clock that night4 ,i was     
down in the cellar and smelled a fire4  
,the children           were playing    
around4 ,i went up and discovered that  
the tent was all on fire4 ,i seized my  

children1 and           taking one in my
 arms1 ,i got another by the hand1      
and the other one took hold of my skirt 
and we ran           out of the tent4   
8,when ,i ran out ,i saw a lot of the   
militiamen           around4 ,they      
hollered to me to look out and were     
shooting at me as ,i ran4 ,as quick as  
,i could ,i ran           into the      
maternity tent and down the steps into  
the           cellar40            8,you 
are sure you saw the militiamen10 asked 
,mr4           ,walsh4            8,oh  
yes1 sir10 replied the witness4 8,they  
were           about twenty-five yards  
away40            8,and could they see  
you80            8,i saw them4 ,and they
 hollered at me2 yes1 sir40             
,she looked at ,walsh with frightened   
eyes as if           recalling in her   
mind the scene of the night and         
continued3            8,there was a door
 down to the cellar inside the          
tent and there were earth steps4 ,the   
door was left           open as ,i went 

down1 and ,i don't know how it came     
to be closed later4 ,when ,i got down in
 the cellar           there were three  
women and eight children there4 ,i      
knew them all4 ,i had my baby in my     
arms4 ,it was six           months old4 
,the others were close to me and my boy 
had hold of my dress40                  
,twirling the handkerchief in her hands1
 the woman           looked over at ,mr4
 ,walsh and in a voice from which       
all emotion seemed to have been drained1
 she said3            8,he would have   
been #e years old yesterday--my boy40   
8,you lost all three of your children   
there80 said           ,walsh4          
8,yes1 sir10 she replied1 soft and low4 
8,i lost them           that night40    
,and again she twisted the handkerchief 
into a knot4           ,a woman on the  
front row of benches sobbed audibly4    
,a shuffling of feet and the deep       
breathing of the           spectators   
swept over the room4 ,mrs4 ,petrucci    
gazed           dully at her questioner4

            8,we were in the cellar     
about ten minutes10 she           said1 
8when the tent over our head took fire4 
,i           don't know how it started4 
,it was not on fire           when ,i   
went in4 ,pretty soon after that we all 
lost           consciousness40          
8,but before that10 asked ,walsh1       
8didn't you try to           escape80   
8,it was all on fire over our heads10   
replied the           woman simply4     
8,did you do anything to save your      
children80            8,what could ,i8  
,oh1 yes4 ,there was a woman there      
with a blanket4 ,i asked her to share it
 with me           for my babies2 one   
was #f months1 you know1 and the        
other #b years1 and my boy #d4 ,she told
 me it was           only big enough for
 herself40            ,mrs4 ,petrucci   
sighed4 ,it was the only display        
of emotion she made during the recital4 
,that           blanket--a corner of it 
might have saved one of the             
babies from the suffocation that quickly

 overtook           all there4 ,she     
sighed at the recollection4             
8,the next ,i knew10 she continued      
plaintively1 8was           when ,i woke
 up at #e the next morning4 ,i ran out  
for water for my babies4 ,they were     
lying there4 ,i           thought water 
would help them4 ,i did not know what   
,i was doing4 ,i felt like ,i was drunk4
 ,outside ,i saw           guards       
walking down the railroad tracks4 ,they 
were           laughing4 ,i kept turning
 back all the time4 ,i was              
afraid they would shoot me40            
,again the frightened look came into her
 dark           ringed1 black eyes4 ,a  
score of women in the           audience
 were weeping now4 ,save for their      
smothered           sighs the room was  
in absolute silence4 ,the               
clanging of a bell on one of the lower  
floors of           the ,metropolitan   
building rang out like a funeral        
note4            8,i went to the        
railroad station10 said ,mrs4           

,petrucci4 8,i didn't know what ,i was  
doing4 ,i asked           ,mrs4 ,horning
 to go look for my babies4 ,she said she
           could not find them4 ,someone
 bought me a ticket           for       
,trinidad4 ,i was in bed there nine days
 with           pneumonia4 ,i did not   
see my children again40            ,a   
woman on the front row groaned and ,mrs4
 ,petrucci           looked down at her 
with dazed eyes4            8,don't you 
know how the fire started80 asked       
,commissioner ,weinstock4               
8,no1 sir2 the beginning of the fire was
 in my tent4           ,it was about #f 
o'clock4 ,it was still light4 ,it       
started outside40            8,but when 
you went out didn't you see anyone80    
8,no1 sir1 only the militiamen40        
,for a full two minutes the             
commissioners gazed           silently  
at the woman4 ,then finally ,weinstock  
asked3            8,when you went to the
 railroad station what did you          
think had become of your children80     

8,i wasn't thinking of anything10       
replied ,mrs4           ,petrucci1      
clasping her handkerchief to her breast4
            ,mother ,jones took the     
woman in her arms as she                
stepped from the stand and led her away4

is any general opposition to an         
ordinance           to guard the public 
against the nuisance of smoking         
automobiles1 it failed to develop at a  
public           hearing in the matter  
held yesterday afternoon by             
the ,committee on ,laws and ,legislation
 of the ,board           of ,aldermen4  
,one man appeared when opponents of     
the bill were asked to express their    
views1 but he           admitted that   
the ordinance would be a good thing     
if operative only in ,manhattan4        
,he was ,herbert ,g4 ,andrews1 of the   

,committee on           ,laws and       
,legislation of the ,long ,island       
,automobile           ,club4 ,he said   
the club favored the abatement of       
the nuisance1 but would like to have the
 ordinance           altered in certain 
respects4            ,in the form       
introduced by ,alderman ,nicoll the     
ordinance is identically the same as one
 now in           force prohibiting     
smoking automobiles in the parks4       
,it says that 8no person shall run a    
motor vehicle           in the streets  
and highways of the city of ,new ,york  
which emits from the exhaust or muffler 
thereof           offensive quantities  
of smoke1 gas or disagreeable           
odors10 and that 8any violation of the  
provisions           of this ordinance  
shall be deemed a minor offence         
and1 upon conviction thereof before a   
city           magistrate1 shall be     
punished by a fine of not more          
than #aj or by imprisonment in the ,city
 ,prison1 or           by both2 but no  

such imprisonment1 however1 shall       
exceed a term of five days40            
,mr4 ,andrews suggested that the word   
8offensive0           be changed to     
8excessive0 and that the fine be        
graduated--slight for the first offence 
and heavier           for subsequent    
offences4            ,william ,h4       
,palmer1 of the ,new ,york              
,transportation           ,company1 a   
taxicab concern1 said that it would be  
easier to determine the offence if the  
ordinance           made some reference 
to the distance at which smoke          
extending from an automobile was        
unlawful4            ,in support of the 
bill there appeared many persons1       
including two women4 ,alderman ,nicoll  
said that           smoking automobiles 
were the cause of a great blue          
haze often to be found at places such as
 ,columbus           ,circle and        
,forty-second street and ,fifth avenue4 
,the smoke penetrated stores1 he said1  
and made it           necessary for     

merchants to keep their doors and       
windows closed to protect their goods4  
,the alderman told of riding in a       
taxicab from           ,cortlandt street
 to ,fiftieth street on ,thursday       
afternoon and of passing one hundred and
 sixty-four           automobiles1 of   
which1 he said1 thirty were smoking4    
,paris1 ,london and ,berlin have laws   
prohibiting the           emission of   
smoke from automobiles1 he said1 and    
the law in force in ,paris is even more 
drastic than           his ordinance4   
,dr4 ,holbrook ,curtis corroborated ,mr4
 ,nicoll in his           claim that    
smoke had a bad effect on the health    
of the people who inhaled the fumes4 ,he
 said it           was especially       
injurious to persons suffering from     
gastritis4            ,mrs4 ,john       
,rogers1 as chairman of the ,hygiene    
,committee of the ,new ,york ,city      
,federation of           ,women's       
,clubs1 pleaded for the passage of the  
ordinance for the sake of little        

children1 whose           noses and eyes
 were affected by the smoke1 she        
said4 ,mrs4 ,katherine ,s4 ,day1 of the 
,women's           ,municipal ,league1  
also urged the passage of the           
measure4            ,others who spoke in
 favor of the measure were              
,charles ,j4 ,campbell1 counsel for the

,association1 and           ,william    
,kirkpatrick4            ,mr4 ,coleman  
said that on the upper west side        
chauffeurs often vie with one another to
 see how           much smoke they can  
emit and how much noise they            
can make4            ,the claim was made
 that the emission of smoke             
could be prevented without difficulty1  
and nobody           contradicted the   
statement4 ,taxicabs were said to       
be the worst offenders4            99

invitation to the offices of the        
,department of ,health yesterday        
afternoon and made           a mighty   
protest against the proposed ordinance

who probably had good arguments to      
use against the tentative ordinance were
 unable to           get a hearing4     
,the lecture room on the fifth floor of

gathering was composed of every kind of 
chicken           raiser1 from the head 
of a family which kept           just   
two pullets for their eggs1 to the      
fancier           who boasted of the    
finest breed of fowl in large           
numbers4 ,seated on either side of ,dr4 
,emerson           were several members 
of his staff1 including ,dr4            
,john ,barry1 ,assistant ,sanitary      
,superintendent of           ,queens1   
and ,dr4 ,john ,sprague1 ,assistant     
,sanitary           ,superintendent of  

,richmond4            ,the meeting was  
opened by ,dr4 ,emerson1 who            
explained that the ,sanitary ,bureau had
 received           more than #ad1jjj   
complaints on account of chickens       
since the first of the year4            
,furthermore1 he           asserted that
 inspectors were occupied one-third of  
their time investigating applications   
for permits           to keep chickens1 
or complaints about them4 ,he then      
started to read some of the hundreds of 
letters of           complaint on the   
subject of chickens1 when one of        
the owners interrupted3            8,i  
don't think it's fair to take up our    
time with           letters of          
complaint1 because we already know      
what's in them4 ,we want to find out    
what's the           best the           
,department of ,health can do for       
chicken           raisers40             
,a member of a delegation from          
,sheepshead ,bay said           that the
 proposed seventy-five-foot limit would 

entirely wipe out chicken raising in his
 section1           and he believed it  
would have the same effect in           
other suburban districts4 ,he said3     
8,i have a plot #ajj by #ajj feet1 and  
my house           is constructed so    
that it would be impossible             
for me to keep chickens in accordance   
with the           seventy-five-foot    
limit4 ,the average suburbanite         
lives on a plot #ej by #ajj feet40      
,the suggestion that the new limit would
 practically           eliminate the    
chicken industry from this city1        
brought forth a chorus of groans not    
unlike that           of ,sing ,sing    
when a convict is led from the death    
house to the electric chair4            
,dr4 ,emerson was the target for a score
 of different           questions from  
every part of the room1 and1 as the     
best way out of the difficulty1 he asked
 all who           had killed chickens  
on their plots to raise their           
hands4            8,don't you do it2    

you'll be fined10 was the warning       
shouted by one of the chicken owners1   
and this was           the signal for   
another series of groans4            ,it
 took the ,deputy ,health ,commissioner 
some little           time to restore   
order and to explain to the men         
and women that no police officers were  
present           to start proceedings  
against offenders of the                
anti-chicken-slaughtering regulations4  
,one of the chicken raisers pointed out 
that the           law was absurd in    
that it said that a chicken coop        
could not be kept within seventy-five   
feet of a           factory4            
8,is a chicken going to harm a factory80
 he asked4            ,dr4 ,emerson then
 tried to tell the complaining          
chicken owners that milk-bottling works1
 on           the sanitation of which   
depended the lives of                   
thousands of babies1 were among the     
8factories0           protected by the  
regulation4 ,he also said that          

there was no intent in the              
seventy-five-foot limit           to    
discriminate against chicken owners any 
more           than there was to        
discriminate against saloons1           
which are required to be #bjj feet      
removed from the           nearest      
church or school4 ,here he was          
interrupted3            8,you see a lot 
of drunken men coming out of            
saloons1 but you never see a drunken    
chicken coming           out of a       
chicken coop40            ,when ,dr4    
,emerson asserted that #aej1jjj chickens
           were slaughtered in ,new     
,york ,city every year in               
violation of the law regulating         
slaughter houses1           several men 
and women jumped to their feet4 ,all at 
once the men protested3            8,but
 we slaughter them in a more sanitary   
way than           the licensed         
slaughter houses40            ,when this
 period of excitement had somewhat      
subsided1 a little woman arose quietly  

and1 on the           ground that she   
kept two chickens for their eggs1       
protested against further reference to  
the killing           of fowls as       
8slaughter40            ,j4 ,howland    
,leavitt1 ,superintendent of ,highways  
of ,queens1 endeavored to calm the      
chicken owners           by assuring    
them that it must be the idea of the    
,department of ,health to improve bad   
conditions           without being too  
strict with those persons who           
complied with the health regulations4   
8,for instance10 said ,supt4 ,leavitt1  
8,i keep           chickens within      
sixty-five feet of a school house4      
,they do not disturb any of my          
neighbors1 and there           has never
 been any complaint about them1 to my   
knowledge40            8,have you ever  
received a permit to keep those         
chickens80 asked ,dr4 ,emerson4         
8,no10 replied ,mr4 ,leavitt1 and the   
chicken owners           were forced to 
laugh--for the first time4              

,on behalf of citizens of ,queens and   
,richmond           ,boroughs in their  
districts1 ,aldermen ,burden of         
,flushing and ,o',rourke of ,richmond   
made certain           objections to the
 proposed ordinance4 ,alderman          
,burden said his constituents were      
satisfied with           the present    
law1 and only asked for adequate        
inspection4 ,alderman ,o',rourke said it
 would be more           in keeping with
 the ,mayor's policy to apply home      
rule to chickens and leave each         
,assistant ,sanitary                    
,superintendent with jurisdiction in his
 borough4            ,the fears of the  
chicken raisers were somewhat           
allayed when ,commissioner ,emerson read
 a letter           from one of their   
number suggesting a few                 
modifications to the proposed ordinance4
 ,he took a           vote on the       
suggestions and the majority indorsed   
them4            ,before the meeting was
 closed the chicken owners              

voted their thanks to ,dr4 ,emerson for 
his patience           in hearing their 
complaints4            99       99

,j4 ,c4 ,mc,donnell1 chief of the fire  
prevention           bureau1            
precipitated the second chapter in the  
controversy yesterday when he appeared  
before           the judiciary committee
 of the city council and                
reiterated his contention that public   
safety           demanded the           
substitution of men for women ushers    
in ,chicago theaters4            8,women
 ushers are not as brave as men when    
danger           comes10 he argued4     
8,experience has proved that statement  
purely           theoretical and        
absolutely untrue10 responded the       
managers of playhouses which employ girl
 ushers4            8,women ushers are  
all right to hand out programs          

and show patrons to seats1 but that is  
all10 the           fire prevention     
chief remarked4            ,and thereby 
,armageddon was set down in the midst of
           the theatrical world4        
,the first strategic move of the        
opposing           forces--the girl     
ushers of ,chicago-consisted in the     
organization of an effective fighting   
machine4            8,the ,girl ,ushers'
 ,anti-,mc,donnell ,league0 it is

us what other kinds of work are to      
other girls--our means of earning a

 ,donlan of the ,princess ,theater1     
chairman of the league4 8,to the        
assistant fire           chief the      
change from women ushers to men would   
mean only the vindication of an idea4   
,to us it           would mean the loss 
of our positions40            ,the      
campaign contemplated by the league has

,handy has fought           to kill the

introduced by           ,john ,c4       
,harrison of ,st4 ,louis4 ,harrison is a

shall have jurisdiction throughout the

 on a salary of #cjjj a year and        
provides for a reduction in the number  
of ,justices           from #aa to #g4  
,each ,justice1 the bill provides1 must 
be a licensed attorney4            ,one

,the bill is opposed by ward            
politicians1 as was           the       
,municipal ,courts bill in previous     
sessions1           for the reason that 
it would abolish many jobs           of 
,constables and would break up the      
political           organizations in the
 ,justice of the ,peace districts       
in ,st4 ,louis4            ,democrats   
are opposing it on the additional ground
           that under the present system
 the ,democrats are           able to   
elect some ,justices and ,constables1   
and           they fear that1 if such   
officers were elected at                

large1 the ,republicans would win all   
the jobs4            ,the controlling   
motive of the opposition1 however1      
is the danger of breaking up the        
organizations           through which   
political bosses are able to reward     
faithful henchmen or get jobs for       
themselves4            ,the requirement 
that a ,justice must be a practicing    
attorney would end the present system1

clearing the way for the ,philadelphia

,at the same time ,director of ,city    
,transit ,a4           ,merritt ,taylor1
 after an analysis of the ,costello     
bill1 issued a statement declaring that 
the           passage of such an        

ordinance would be 8an                  
unthinkable betrayal of a public trust10
 in that it           would serve to    
defeat the plan of the department       
to connect every important section of   
the city           with every other     
important section by high-speed         
lines for a single #e-;cent fare4 ,to   
hand over to           any corporation  
at this juncture the ,frankford

to 8give away           the most        
effective lever which the people have to

 for ,philadelphia40            ,protest
 against the ,costello plan was         
forthcoming           from many sections
 of the city in letters1 in             
telephone messages and in visits to

the way by sending a delegation1 headed 
by ,g4 ,h4 ,williams1 chairman of the

8one-legged proposition of any kind0 and
 in favor           of transit          
development for all ,philadelphia4      
,this delegation pointed out that       
,costello's bill           contained no 
provision for transfers from the        
,frankford 8,l0 and ,market street 8,l0 
to ,navy ,yard           lines1 making  
necessary two #e-;cent fares rather     
than the single #e-;cent fare proposed  
under the           ,taylor plan4       
,adherents of the ,taylor plan pointed  
out that the           ,costello        
ordinance provided for extension of the 
,frankford elevated from ,bridge street1
 ,frankford1           the northern     
terminal of the ,taylor elevated1       
to ,rhawn street1 in ,holmesburg4 ,this1

building lots now held by realty

,in the face of all the protest1        
,councilman ,costello                   
announced that ,frankford1 with         
one-third of the           entire       
population of the city1 was entitled to 
first consideration in transit          
development1 and           that it had  
been trying to get better facilities    
for #be years4 ,he said he was not      
considering the           needs of      
,darby1 ,logan or any other section of  
the           city4 ,he did not care    
whether the ,rapid ,transit             
,company or an independent concern built
 and           operated the line4       
,further1 he had consulted no

born who can tell a lie under the       
close observation of physiological      
experts without           an increase in

to a statement made by ,dr4 ,louisa     

,burns of the ,a4           ,t4 ,still  
,research ,institute of ,chicago1 at the
           final meeting of the

 yesterday           afternoon1 at the  
,park ,avenue ,hotel1 ,park ,avenue     
and ,thirty-third ,street4 ,dr4 ,burns  
has drawn her           conclusions from
 a long series of experiments1          
conducted in her laboratory4            
,it was pointed out to the three hundred
 osteopaths           by ,dr4 ,burns    
that any habitual liar could tell an    
untruth without betraying the slightest 
sign of           deceit in the         
expression of his face or in the        
movement of his body4 ,but the action of
 the pulse1           she said1 was far 
beyond the control even of the          
best liar4 ,she explained that this was 
so because           the pulse or       
pressure of the blood was influenced    
chiefly by the change of emotions1 and  
the most           finished liars1 she  

observed1 had sometimes the             
strongest emotions4            8,the    
action of the blood pressure is an      
indicator           to the person who is
 accustomed to work with it4 ,by        
watching it you are able to get the true
 history           of a case1 even in   
spite of the reticence of the           
patient1 in the same way in which you   
are able to           find a hidden     
object in the game of hide and seek1    
when your search is guided toward that  
hidden thing           by the warning1  
#8,you're getting hot1' and away from   
it by the counter warning1 #8,you're    
getting cold4'            8,when a      
patient comes to my office ,i always    
find it           is better to work with
 him as he lies on a table4             
,in order to avoid distracting his      
attention1 it is           better to sit
 quietly beside him rather than stand   
over him4 ,he is engaged in a           
conversation at first           simply  
about the nature of his complaint4      

,meanwhile           ,i have found his  
pulse1 and as the conversation          
progresses1 the patient soon forgets    
that his pulse           is the one     
thing under observation4 ,if the patient
           is asked about a certain     
thing which may have been           true
 of his case1 he will confirm your guess
 by the           action of his pulse1  
even though he may evade your           
question4 ,if he is trying to keep from 
disclosing           this fact to you1  
the pressure of his blood will          
inevitably be increased40               
,dr4 ,burns said that she was certain   
she could           take a witness in a 
criminal case and find out              
absolutely to her own satisfaction      
whether he           was telling the    
truth or lying4 ,however1 she           
would be unwilling to give testimony    
this way           for conviction4      
,asked if a man of low mentality        
responded differently in the pressure of
 his blood           from a man of      

higher mentality1 ,dr4 ,burns explained 
that he did1 yet the truth and the lie  
were as           easily distinguishable
 in one as in the other4            ,the

8,every railroad has trouble with boys  

who #8hop' and           #8flip' trains 
and play with the turntables10 said     
he4 8,i am glad to be able to report    
that the ,frisco           road has     
solved the problem with success1 so far 
as           we are concerned4 ,we      
awarded #8,safety' buttons to           
those who swore off on these juvenile   
pastimes1 and           when that       
failed1 we installed swimming pools near
           the roundhouses1 under       
railroad supervision4            8,the  
swimming pool never has failed to work4 
,all that is necessary to steer a boy   
away from           dangerous pastimes  
is to provide a sane outlet for         
his excess energy40            ,the #ejj
 members of the council1 representing   
more           than #a1jjj1jjj          
workingmen throughout the ,united       
,states and covering almost every line  
of industrial           endeavor1       
unanimously adopted resolutions against 
the use of alcohol1 in part as follows3 
8,it is recognized that the use of      

alcoholic           stimulants is       
productive of most industrial           
accidents and works against the safety  
and           efficiency of workmen4    
8,therefore1 be it resolved1 ,that it is
 the sense of           this congress   
that the members pledge themselves to   
the elimination of the use of alcoholic 
stimulants           among the employes 
of their plants and factories40         
,m4 ,a4 ,dow1 general safety agent of   
the ,new ,york           ,central lines1
 thought 8the public must be educated   
to believe that a railroad's safety     
rules are for           their benefit1  
rather than to save the company         
damage suits40 ,as evidence of the      
progress of the           8safety first0
 propaganda1 he cited figures of        
his company showing that for the year   
ending ,june           #cj1 #aiad1 there
 had been #aji fewer deaths from        
accidents and #acb fewer injuries4      
,the inculcation of accident prevention 
should           start in the           

kindergarten and continue through

,utilities ,company1 ,chicago4          
8,the public's extravagant disregard for
 the value           of its safety is   
shown during the automobile             
season1 when our papers constantly      
report           terrible accidents     
invariably caused by suicidal

 railway service and railway            
accommodations so reported to the annual
 convention           of the national   
association of railway commissions      
today4            8,the noxious gases   
that fill coaches1 especially           
sleeping cars1 in connection with the   
peculiar           character of dust    
therein1 are most conducive           to
 germ breeding where proper ventilation 
is           lacking10 the committee    
added4            ,in regard to the     
lighting of railway coaches1 the        
committee said that this problem has    
been fairly           satisfactorily    
solved on the trunk lines1 but that     
on many branch lines the dingy1 dirty   
oil lamp is           still in evidence4
 ,a vigorous campaign against this      
condition is recommended4               
,carelessness in providing drinking     
water at           stations and on      

trains is noted1 and it is              
recommended that railroad commissions   
abolish the           stationary water  
cooler and prescribe a cooler with      
a portable container4 ,uniform methods  
of cleansing           such containers1 
sanitary methods of handling ice1       
and sanitary drinking cups1 to be       
provided free of           charge for   
the public are also recommended and the 
placing of ice in the receptacle is     
deprecated4            ,the failure of  
suburban trains to arrive and depart    
on time is the cause of wide complaint1 
says the           committee4 ,another  
source of complaint is the lack         
of adequate service on ,sundays4 ,the   
committee           believes that at    
least one train should operate in       
each direction as a minimum ,sunday     
service4            ,the committee      
recommends the elimination of the       
practice of paying freight bills        
carrying manifest           over        
charges4 ,delays in handling and        

settling           claims are also      
complained of1 and the committee        
concludes that the best means of        
minimizing such           delays is to  
require the railroads to pay interest   
on the true claim amount from the date  
the amount           of the claim went  
into their hands4            ,on the    
question of substitution of steel for   
wooden cars1 the committee recommends   
that the           interstate commerce  
commission be given full power          
to prescribe the character of equipment 
to be used           in interstate

of a list of #gh who had been advised

main question was whether digitalis

whether           nature should be      
allowed to take its apparent            
course1 unhindered4 ,on a roll call six

voted for resuscitation4 ,the remaining

 animated by           high humanitarian
 motives which forbade holding out      
hope to a doomed patient4               
,the ,social ,workers' ,club was born   

about five years           ago4 ,it was 
a healthy infant at first1 with strong  
pulse and regular respiration1 and took 
nourishment           regularly once a  
month4 ,social experts from all         
over the country came and told it how to
 get along4           ,it passed through
 its second summer and teething         
period without serious disorder4 ,the   
third year it           showed a        
difficulty in digesting all that it     
heard4           ,under treatment this  
disorder did not disappear1             
but seemed rather to augment4 ,a series 
of special           dinners drained its
 vitality to the lowest ebb4            
,one of the reasons advanced for this   
condition           last night was that 
the family income was not               
sufficient to support the child as it   
required1 two           other children1

not meet with general approval4 ,she    
said           it wasn't ,gowdy that    
brought people down town last

too much unnecessary noise in this town1
 the           dealers have accumulated 
bitterness in their           insides4  
,therefore yesterday afternoon in the

 howled their woes against the

 sound but the stirring           of    
raindrops on the panes4 ,and the        
unhurried1           quiet time was     
given up to greetings and welcomes1     
messages to those who could not come1   
the reading           of messages from

emphasis on the kindly details of their

down from father to son through the

bonds so close that bind the            
families and the friends of ,friends1

meeting-room1 with the sight of the     

leaves and a red brick wall outside the 
high           windows1 there is little 
to make one know that the           old 
yellow leaves were written so very long 
ago1           after all4 ,perhaps in   
those old days there were no            
white and purple lilacs in the front of 
the room to           nod and drowse and
 sweeten through the long hours4

 kindliness           as has come with

 story4 ,speeches1 lectures1 addresses1 

and sermons may be considered in the    
same class with interviews and reports1 
because all are alike in being some form
 of utterance4 ,hence news stories of   
them consist largely of reproductions of
 the words and ideas of some person4 ,a 
speech and a report differ only in the  
fact that one is spoken and the other is
 written4 ,an interview1 likewise1 may  
be regarded as an informal address      
delivered to an audience of one4 ,when  
an interview is given in question and   
answer form1 it resembles               
cross-examination in a court story more 
than it does a speech4  ,as             
reproductions of utterances1 news       
stories of speeches and reports must be 
largely informative4 ,except for an     
occasional opportunity to describe the  
speaker or the audience1 they offer     
practically no field for human interest 
development4 ,in interviews1 on the     
other hand1 it is possible to bring out 
the human interest element in portraying
 the character and personality of the   

person interviewed 7cf4 8,interview10 p4

speeches and reports1 are largely       
informative 7cf4 8,interview with

reproduce as accurately as possible the 
ideas expressed by a speaker1 by a      
person interviewed1 or by the author of 
a report is obviously the only object in
 writing a news story dealing with such 
material4 ,four common faults that      
endanger the accuracy of news stories of
 this type are carelessness in taking   
down what is said1 the playing up of    
statements that taken from their context
 are misleading1 unintentional          
distortion due to giving                
disproportionate space or emphasis to   
some points1 and misrepresentation      
because of political partisanship or    
other bias4 ,all quotation1 direct or   
indirect1 should be accurate not only in
 substance and form but also in spirit4 
,a statement taken verbatim from a      
speech1 interview1 or report1 may be    

played up in the lead in such a way that
 it does not give the actual thought or 
purpose of the original4 ,by confining  
his news story to only one or two phases
 of the subject discussed1 a writer     
often gives an erroneous impression of  
the whole speech4 ,distortion and       
suppression of speeches1 interviews1 or 
reports because of political or other   
bias is indefensible4  ,treatment4      
,since news stories of this class must  
consist largely of direct and indirect  
quotation from an utterance1 the problem
 of presenting news of this kind is     
usually that of condensing1 summarizing1
 and combining different parts of the   
available material into a unified1      
coherent whole4 ,this requires effort   
and skill4  ,in writing up interviews   
and speeches the reporter has a chance  
to portray clearly and attractively the 
speaker and the circumstances1 thus     
stimulating the reader's interest in the
 utterance 7cf4 8,interview10 p4 #acf74 
,as the purpose of an interview is to   

present the ideas of the person         
interviewed1 the reporter's questions1  
which are a necessary means of obtaining
 an expression of these ideas1 are      
suppressed in many stories4 ,in other   
stories1 the questions are embodied in  
the answers or are repeated by the      
person interviewed4 ,there is a growing 
tendency1 particularly in signed stories
 of interviews1 to give the reporter's  
questions4            99       99

is because ,switzerland1 a valorous

the ,goliaths that surround the little  
republic4 ,and ,switzerland has said    
that it would           defend its      
neutrality with all its strength4       
,switzerland is the best equipped for   

fighting--size           considered--of 
all the nations4 ,every man from        
#bj to #dh is a trained soldier4 ,those 
who are           unable physically to  
qualify are formed into trade           
and professional groups and are         
available for           supplementing   
the work of the army4            ,the   
system is compulsory1 but it is also a  
voluntary system1 since it was installed
 by the           direct vote4 ,the     
people of ,switzerland decided that     
they were free citizens of a free       
republic1 and           that it was     
their duty to keep it a free country4   
,every man is more than willing to do   
his bit1 and           the service is   
held in such high respect that          
bankrupts and criminals are denied the  
privilege           of taking part in   
the national defense4 ,instead1         
they are required to pay a special tax  
in lieu of           service4           
,it is surprising how little time each  
man is           required to contribute 

to the army4 ,he enlists at             
#bj1 and that year he spends from sixty 
to ninety           days in training1   
according to the branch of the          
service to which he is attached4        
,from then on he spends two weeks a     
year1 for a           period of years1  
in brushing up the military             
knowledge he gained and in acquiring new
 training4           ,that is all4      
,there is no rigid system that compels  
him to give up from two to five of his  
most           fruitful years to service
 with the colors4 ,it's a           free
 man's system1 conducted by free men4   
,the system begins in the public        
schools1 where           every boy is   
compelled to take athletic training4    
,several hours a week are spent teaching
 the           youngsters military      
subjects1 so that when the           boy
 reaches his twentieth year he is a     
piece of           fine timber4 ,his    
body is strong1 and he has some         
knowledge of what discipline means4     

,every boy gets           the           
preliminary training1 even in the       
private           schools4

months he receives intensive training4  
,they make real work of it while it     
lasts1 but they           are over with 
it quickly4            ,the rudiments of

the new recruits without any waste of   
time or money4            ,soldiers and 
corporals1 after the first year1 go     
back every year for two weeks' training

for a final training trip when they

have completed the special              
courses offered by the government for   
those who           desire commissions4

their studies than the privates1 and    
they assemble           quite often for 
war games and tactical discussions4     
,that is all there is to the system4

 after the details of                   
recruiting and a number of              
instructors--less           than two

was a scant           ninety thousand   
fighting men4 ,an army less than        
one-fifth as large as ,switzerland's    
cost more than           ten times as   
much4            ,as an economic        
proposition it would appear that        
compulsory service was a better bargain 
in defense           than the ,american 
system as it exists today4              
,the strong point of the ,swiss system  
is that it           renders every man  
available for defense without           
imposing a burdensome tax on the        
country4 ,the ,swiss           citizen  
becomes an actual1 tangible part of his 
country4 ,he takes pride in the citizen 
army1 and           in many cases the   
government fosters semi-official        

societies that aim to give additional   
training to           those who care for
 it4            ,the beautiful thing

pan-,american doctrine for a mutual     
defense against           aggression

business1 its future and its part in the
 betterment           of mankind4 ,the  
nation1 he said1 must maintain its      
equilibrium2 it must face1 too1 the     
problem of the           future now that
 the administration has endeavored      
to break the shackles on ,american      
business4            ,the ,president    
said3--            8,you know ,i have   
been confined for a couple of           
years at hard labor and am out on parole
 for a day           or two1 but ,i want
 to say this1 my fellow citizens1       
that it is very genuine pleasure to me  
to get           abroad again and stir  
among the people ,i so dearly           
love4            8,because the one thing
 we have to think about down            
in ,washington is the best thing to do  
for you and           the thing that you
 want us to do for you1 and that        
is a mighty hard thing to find out1     
particularly           when you are not 

thinking about your own affairs         
and are constantly thinking about what  
is none of           your business1     
namely1 what is going on on the         
other side of the water4 ,i say that in 
playfulness1           but ,i mean it   
half in earnest4            8,it does   
not do1 my friends1 to divert our       
attention from the affairs of this great
 country4            8,the duty which   
this country has to perform to the      
rest of the world largely depends upon  
the way in           which it performs  
its duty to itself4            8,i have 
always thought with regard to           
individuals           that if a man was 
true to himself1 he would then          
be true to other persons2 and ,i believe
 that that           applies to a great 
country like ours1 that a               
nation that is habitually true to its   
own exalted           principles of     
action will know how to serve the       
rest of mankind when the opportunity    
offers4 ,that           is a very deep  

philosophy of life which it is very     
thoroughly worth while living up to4    
8,we have been trying at ,washington to 
remove some           of the shackles   
that have been put upon ,american       
business2 but after you have removed the
 shackles           you must determine  
what you are going to do with           
your liberty4 ,and there are many tasks 
to perform           for mankind4 ,there
 are many things to be bettered         
in this world which we must set         
ourselves to make           better4 ,so 
what ,i want to say to you now is merely
           this3            8,let us    
seek sober1 common counsel about our own
           affairs1 and then when the   
time comes1 when we can           act   
upon a larger field1 there will be no   
mistake           as to what ,america   
will do for the peace of the

the milk is           pasteurized in

8,pasteurization may be good1 but       
personally ,i           do not believe  
in it10 he said4 8,the object of        
pasteurization is the destruction of    
bacteria which           it may contain 
by a process of heating the milk        
to from #adj to #afj degrees4 ,it is not
 a process           of boiling1 but    
merely of bringing the milk to a        
percentage of heat at which the bacteria
 will be           destroyed4           
8,in my opinion the home and not a      
public place is           for the       
cooking of food products which are to be
           used in the home4 ,it can and
 should be done just as           well  
there as in any other place40           
,an absolutely perfect milk supply is   
impossible in           this city1      
according to ,dr4 ,darlington1 at a     
retail           price of less than     
twenty cents a quart4 ,to add to        

this the cost of pasteurization1 he     
said1 would           raise the price   
still higher4            ,he pointed out
 that the excessive cost of             
production under conditions that would  
result in           absolutely pure milk
 would make the retail price

interest as the camera man inspected    
them4            ,the character of the  
winds that blow on the edge           of

 the ,antarctic ,continent was          
graphically shown           by the fact 
that the men had to lean out upon it1   
at an angle of perhaps forty-five       
degrees1 to walk           in the       
ordinary wind1 while no camera could

when the blizzard was at its            
height4            ,the hut which was   
the headquarters of the party           
had one window1 which was in the roof4  
,the breath           of the men and the
 steam of the kitchen caused            
this to become frosted over to the

simply of the           space under the

it away from him as he came out4 ,one   
day the dog           got away with a

chief drawback4 ,with the               
market for cotton limited and prices    
low1 the           south suffers        
seriously and the effect is felt        
on the entire country4 ,the effects of  
the cotton           situation1 on the  
other hand1 are to a considerable       
extent counteracted by the fact that in

commanded by wheat1 corn1 live          
stock and other products of the northern
 farms4            8,this country may   
expect to be fairly prosperous          
during the period of the war in ,europe4

this will tend to prevent the           
starting of new enterprises4 ,we can not
 have really           good times unless
 money can readily be obtained for      
new enterprises4            8,i do not

extension           and new lines4 ,i do
 not expect to see new business         
enterprises to any considerable extent

without compelling holders           of

 under the           conditions would be
 hunting for investments in new

,roberts doubts whether the stock

against it is the banks which have made 
loans on           the basis of

do not want to incur any

the exchanges are closed the buyer and  
seller will           find some other   
method of coming together40             
,due in part to the fact that the new   
federal           reserve system will   
release a large volume of               
reserve money1 and in part to the fact  
that the           bankers and the

have plenty of money to lend4 ,he looks 
for little           disposition to lend

 money on new enterprises2 but1         
on the other hand1 he believes there    
will be plenty           of money to    
advance to meet the needs of ordinary   
business and to extend the loans of the 
average           borrower4             
,as for the settlement of ,american     
indebtedness           to ,europe1

discussion of the shipment of ,american 
gold abroad1           ,mr4 ,roberts    
thinks this problem will be adjusted4   
,he pointed out that it would be partly 
adjusted           by the growing volume
 of sales to ,europe4 ,it will          
be partly adjusted by the individuals   
who owe the           debt1 and who     
obtain extension4 ,in one way and       
another the volume of the debt will be  
whittled           down so that1        
according to ,mr4 ,roberts1 this        
problem is not at all insurmountable4

,cotton1 ,state ,superintendent of      
,public ,instruction1           has some
 new ideas in regard to the best methods
           of teaching spelling1 and    
this subject received                   
considerable attention in the course of 
study which           ,mr4 ,cotton is   
now preparing1 and which is to be       
used in the schools of the ,state during
 the coming           year4             
8,spelling10 says ,mr4 ,cotton1 8can not
 be taught           incidentally4 ,it  
must have the systematic attention      
of the teacher as a separate subject and
 his           constant care in all     
written work4 ,while oral               
spelling is a helpful aid in fixing     
forms1 it is           generally        
conceded that written spelling must     
receive the larger stress4 ,the eye     
rather than the           ear must be   
trained4 ,indeed1 correct spelling must 

be made an eye and muscle habit4        
,constant drill in           writing    
correct forms of a word serves to build 
it           into one's very physical   
make-up4            8,there are certain 
laws1 a knowledge of which is           
valuable in teaching spelling4 ,the work
 should           be inductive2 that is1
 words spelled according           to   
these laws should be presented in groups
 and           the children led to      
construct the laws4 ,there is           
a certain economy in learning the laws1 
because           through them a group  
of words may be learned as              
easily as a single word4 ,the fact that 
there are           exceptions to the   
laws by no means destroys the           
claim for economy4 ,there are two sides1
 then1           to the spelling        
process1 the mechanical and the         
rational1 and the teacher must keep them
 both in           mind4 ,they go       
together4 ,both are essential4 ,the     
return to the use of a spelling book    

indicates a           belief in the need
 of more systematic work in oral        
and written spelling40            ,in   
regard to the subject matter of         
spelling1 ,mr4           ,cotton        
believes that here1 as in other         
subjects1           the dominant        
community interest should be taken      
into consideration4 ,each community1    
,mr4 ,cotton           points out1 has  
its own vocabulary4 ,the assignment     
in spelling1 he says1 should be worked  
out as           carefully as the       
assignment in any other subject1        
and1 as in every other subject1 the home
 life           should dictate the point
 of departure4            ,the          
assignment may from day to day1 ,mr4    
,cotton           suggests1 consist of  
lists of ten or twenty words            
covering the entire range of life in the
 community4           ,the teacher may  
ask the class to hand in a list         
of ten words that are names of kitchen  
utensils4           ,if there are five  

or six in the class1 it may be          
that twenty or more different words will
 be named4           ,such a device     
furnishes the fairest test of the       
child's ability to spell these words1   
because           he suggests them to   
himself and is not aided by             
having them pronounced4 ,the teacher    
should correct           the lists and  
hand them back1 and then the twenty     
different words should be used as a     
spelling lesson           and made the  
basis of a permanent list4 ,similar     
lists may cover other home departments1 
industrial           departments1 or    
farm life1 and there may be lists       
covering the vocabulary of the social1  
the civil or           governmental1 the
 religious and the school life of       
the community4            ,the          
assignment may take another form1 ,mr4  
,cotton           suggests1 and         
accomplish the same purpose4 ,the       
teacher may have it in mind to teach    
inductively           the meaning of the

 word synonym4 ,he gives           the  
following list of words3 farmer1 grower1
           cultivator1 agriculturist and
 husbandman4 ,he then           has the 
pupils pronounce each word1 tell the    
meaning1 use one of the words in a      
sentence and           substitute as    
many words as possible for it4 ,other   
groups of farm words may be used in the 
same way4            ,while ,mr4 ,cotton
 concedes that the teacher must         
select1 in the main1 his own devices for
 teaching           any subject1 he     
offers the following suggestions        
for teaching spelling3            8,the 
words to be taught should be the words  
needed           in the school          
vocabulary and in life4            8,the
 work should be based as much as        
possible upon           the laws        
governing spelling1 and should be done  
inductively4            8,constant drill
 is essential1 and absolute accuracy    
in all written work must be insisted    
upon4            8,it is a good practice

 to keep a list of words most           
commonly misspelled and point out and   
emphasize in           some attractive  
way the difficulties in spelling        
these words4            8,word building 
and word analysis are excellent         
devices4            8,the use of words  
in sentences different from those       
in which they are found in the text-book
 is good           practice for the     
vocabulary of the pupil4            8,it
 is especially important that pupils    
should           learn to use in        
sentences of their own construction     
the many simple words which are alike in
 their           pronunciation1 but     
which differ both in their              
spelling and in their use4 ,the teacher 
will find it           advantageous to  
make the list of homonyms in the        
spelling book the basis for language    
exercises as           well as for      
spelling lessons4            8,the new  
speller should be in the hands of each  
and every pupil4 ,the work is outlined  

by grades in           the book4 ,no    
pupil should be promoted till he has    
mastered all the words in the grade in  
which he is           working40

dressed simply in black1 but the        
soberness of           her attire was   
eclipsed by the animation of her        
features when she was given the         
opportunity to           plunge into the
 subject to which she is now giving     
her life4            8,the war10 she

increase on           perhaps a little  
more than one-half of the tonnage1      
but to the extent that the increase has 
been           granted it will help the

 also promote general public confidence

of the present peculiar conditions4 ,the
 increase           granted will not

torture4            ,lobsters1 says ,mr4
 ,sinel1 are extremely difficult        
to kill4 ,piercing the brain does not   
seem to cause           the lobster more
 than temporary annoyance1 since        
his brain is a mere nerve ganglion the  
size of a           hemp-seed4 ,he has  
to be killed all over4 ,to throw        
him into boiling water fails to do the  
work either           mercifully or     
quickly1 since he struggles violently   
to escape for about two minutes4        
,the pleasantest way to end a lobster's 
troubles1           ,mr4 ,sinel finds1  
is the old-fashioned way of             
placing him in cold water and bringing  
him to a           boil4 ,as the water  
warms1 he becomes merely lazy

8not because it has heretofore been so  
extensive           in numbers1 but     
because of its peculiar effect          
upon the economic conditions and the    
possibilities           of an almost    
unlimited increase in volume if left    
unregulated and unchecked4 ,our

with a fair degree of success1 but those
 coming           from ,hawaii and the

former with           regard to the     
admission of aliens to the territory    
and their subsequent migration to the   
continent1           and the latter with
 respect to the coming of

           with respect to the admission
 of aliens to these                     
possessions4            8,it has been   
regarded as desirable to encourage      
the settlement in ,hawaii of ,european

retain the immigrants secured through   
the exercise           by the ,federal

policy1 is believed to be due to the    
fact that the           conditions of

reached the million mark1 and unless    
some affirmative action is taken by the 
,federal           ,government to

,european and other nations to reduce

,the suggestion is made tentatively that
 some           diversion of the        
immigrant fund be made to protect       
the immigrants after their landing in   
this country1           in an effort 8to
 relieve industrial centers by          
securing employment for the surplus

native or foreign1 either on farms      
or in other rural occupations or in

stories in this division may be grouped 
in two classes3 7#a7 those of display1  
such as exhibitions1 shows1 fairs1 and  
parades1 and 7#b7 those of banquets1    
holiday celebrations1 and other special 

occasions1 such as college              
commencements4 ,although the subject    
matter covers a wide range1 the method  
of handling the news is much the same4  
,purpose4 ,the aim in these stories is  
not only to portray attractively the    
events and scenes but to bring out the  
spirit of the occasion4 ,there is       
generally a dominant note in all these  
events1 and the effectiveness of the    
description can be greatly heightened by
 selecting those details that bring out 
this note4 ,the selection and           
presentation of details from the point  
of view of their value as showing the   
mood of the occasion results in a story 
of much greater interest than does the  
mere recording of the different         
incidents4 ,accuracy in news stories of 
this kind1 therefore1 is not simply     
faithfulness to fact1 but truth of      
sentiment4 ,untruthfulness lies in      
adding fictitious details in an effort  
to heighten the appeal1 and in          
substituting sentimentality for true    

sentiment4  ,treatment4 ,the chief      
problem in writing these stories is to  
select picturesque and significant      
phases from the large mass of available 
material1 and to reproduce the scenes   
and incidents with vividness4 ,these    
events offer one of the few chances in  
news writing for pure description4 ,in  
general the description is of the       
so-called dynamic type1 in that all of  
the details are selected with the       
purpose of bringing out one impression  
rather than of giving a complete        
picture4  ,in descriptions of holiday   
celebrations an emotional appeal is     
possible because every festival and     
holiday has its own particular          
sentiment4 ,christmas is distinctly the 
children's day and is characterized by  
generosity4 ,memorial day is marked by  
patriotic reverence for dead heroes1    
,fourth of ,july by patriotic           
jollification1 and ,thanksgiving day by 
the idea of feasting4 ,for banquets and 
similar occasions in which the spirit of

 good fellowship is the dominant note   
the descriptive method in a lighter vein
 is particularly appropriate4  ,when    
speeches and toasts are delivered in    
connection with these events1 they are  
treated like other speeches and are     
fitted into the story as incidents of   
the occasion1 or1 if they are of        
sufficient significance1 they may be

opened several hours before daybreak    
this morning           with appropriate 
barnyard pomp and ceremony4 ,one of     
the #f1ejj fowl assembled in ,madison   
,square ,garden1           with bold    
disregard for the conventions of city   
life1 started things at #c ,a4 ,m41 and 
in an instant           the whole family
 was flapping its wings and crowing     
sociably one to another4                
,even though it was only the light from 
an arc lamp           outside1 which the
 birds mistook for the rising           
sun1 they resolved to make the best of  
it1 and at           noon all the       
inmates were in excellent voice4        
,the great arena1 filled row upon row   
with every           variety of domestic
 fowl1 resounded with echoes of         
the farm4            ,it was one long1  
continuous cock-a-doodle-doo1 that      
gave the impression that all the        
barnyards of the           world had    

suddenly been combined in one4          
,a flock of white ,wyandottes1 looking  
very pompous1           supplied the    
baritone parts of the medley1 while     
occasionally a peevish falsetto cackle  
could be           discerned issuing    
from the bantam household4              
,melodious squawks from several turkey  
gobblers1           who had escaped the 
axe this season1 added to the           
hoarse cackle of numerous ducks1 helped 
to fill in           the gaps4          
,one change was noticeable to-day in the
 absence           of ,canadian-bred    
birds4 ,in former years1 fowl           
from across the border have been among  
the most           interesting in the   
exhibit1 affording a basis for          
comparison of the poultry of the two    
countries4            ,but1 owing to the
 strict quarantine regulations          
now in force1 officers of the ,new ,york
 ,state           ,association found it 
impossible to include this              
feature in this year's show4 ,the fact  

that there           are no ,canadian   
entries is accountable for the          
smaller number of exhibits1 some six    
hundred           ,canadian specimens   
having been withheld by the             
,canadian fanciers4 ,the reason1 it was 
stated1 was           the prevalence of 
disease among cattle at the             
present time4 ,the ,canadian inspectors 
had announced           that they would 
not allow consignments shipped to       
the exhibition to renter the country4   
,all ,states north of the ,ohio and east
 of the           ,mississippi have sent
 specimens to the exhibit1              
while a number of ,southern and ,western
 ,states are           represented also4
            ,on the main floor the      
entire space is devoted to              
fowl1 of every variety1 displayed in    
steel cages4           ,the centre of   
the arena is occupied by a small        
tank1 used as a duck pond1 and grouped  
around this           are several large 
cages1 containing specially rare        

specimens4 ,the balcony1 circling the   
enclosure1 is           devoted to      
pigeons and pet stock1 including guinea 
pigs1 rabbits1 and white mice4          
,along with the poultry display1 there  
is the usual           accompaniment of 
farmyard devices1 brooders1             
incubators1 and patent feeders1 which   
occupy           booths in various parts
 of the main floor4 ,john1           a  
fine white ,wyandotte cock from ,jersey1
 was on           hand to-day to do his 
share in exhibiting a device            
for grinding bones4 ,he was hitched to a
 miniature           mill1 in which he  
had been trained for months to          
make the circuit like a horse4 ,but     
everything at           the ,garden was 
so different1 and so unlike life in     
the peaceful ,jersey farm1 that the     
rooster had an           attack of      
stage-fright and couldn't navigate the  
turn4 ,he crouched down in the traces   
and refused to           budge1 while   
the demonstrator applied persuasion     

and a horsewhip to coax him on4         
,but the trained hens1 who were there to
 show how a           combination       
8feeder and exerciser0 worked1 lived up 
to expectations1 and gave an admirable  
performance4           ,they were caged 
in a shed with a miniature              
turnstile in it1 and every time they    
took a few           steps1 the stile   
was sure to move1 bringing down         
upon their heads a shower of corn4

#fj1jjj and #hj1jjj persons4            
,whatever the correct figures of        
attendance may have           been1 it  
is certain that the grand stands were   
jammed solid with cheering humanity1    
that men1           women and children  
of all ages and types swarmed           
like a colony of ants through the       
various exhibits1           and that    
automobiles of every kind known to the  
trade were paraded all over the parking 
space4            ,it was a happy1      
good-natured crowd1 in which the        
millionaire rubbed elbows with the farm 
boy1           and those who came by    
trolley had just as much                
chance for enjoyment as those who came  
in the most           expensive touring 
car4 ,to be sure1 the horse is the      
star performer at ,rockingham fair1 but 
that is no           reason why the     
other features should be overlooked1

reality it might better have been       
described as           ,everybody's day4

looked to the visitor4 ,gov4 ,samuel ,d4

,felker           and members of his    
staff4            ,he was received      
fittingly with the customary brass      
band accompaniment1 was whisked across  
the track in           a miniature      
procession of automobiles and escorted  
to the grandstand4 ,there he made an    
appropriate           speech1 or went   
through an animated pantomime1 the      
impression differing with the distance  
the listener           was from him4 ,at
 any rate1 the crowd judged him         
by his good intentions and applauded    
heartily4           ,gov4 ,foss was     
unable to be present1 but was well      
represented by ,mrs4 ,foss and his two  
pretty           daughters4             
8,something doing every minute0 seems to

 have been           the motto of the   
fair management1 and the motto          
was well observed4 ,apart from the      
racing1 the fair           has enough   
attractions to keep a visitor busy for  
a couple of days at least1 and then said
 visitor           would be better      
satisfied if he could possess           
himself of an extra set of eyes4        
,the effect of the place is             
kaleidoscopic1 or rather           that 
of a talking moving picture run wild4   
,it is           a perfect jumble of    
color and sound4 ,bands are

the hills1           whose bucolic chin 

whisker wags in rapture over            
some particular breed of hogs1 and there
 is the           landed proprietor1 who
 is as interested as an                 
amateur in some particular strain of    
stock4 ,you           see an overalled  
individual drawling casual orders

are looking           for the latest in

just as young as any of them4           
,away over behind the grandstand are the
 cattle           sheds1 where one may  

fill his eye with as many               
different kinds of cows1 bulls and oxen 
as he           ever imagined4 ,there   
they are--the ,jerseys1 the             
,guernseys1 the ,holsteins1 the         
,ayrshires1 and           whatever other
 kinds there be1 all beautifully        
groomed1 with horns polished4 ,some are 
decked           with blue ribbons and  
some with red1 and some           which 
have no ribbons at all appear about as  
good           as their rivals4 ,out in

 of           competitors1 and make the 
awards without any fuss4

with cattle           and they are busy 
with hens and with geese1 with          
hogs--there is a whole exhibit of blue  
ones--with           fish1 with fruit1  
with vegetables1 with embroidery

who are not so serious there is the     
,looney ,lane4 ,it is a long lane1 a    
good half mile1           if not more4  
,and there is to be found about every   
side show that ingenuity has yet        
devised4            ,the streets of this

are all there with 8spielers0 to match4 
,with the exception of the races1       
probably the most           interesting

again fortunate in capturing the ,andrew

hunt teams of three each4               
,one of the prettiest classes of the    
afternoon was           that for park

which was won by ,mrs4 ,p4 ,t4 ,roche of

antiquated engines bringing           up

 the reopening of ,washington

 a step in           the plan to dot the
 city with model markets4

 8is a link           in a chain of     
retail markets which ,i hope that       
the city will some time own and control4
 ,such a           system of retail     
markets will be a part of a still       
more comprehensive system of food       
distribution4           ,the entire plan
 will comprise wholesale terminal       
markets which will receive supplies of  
all kinds           for distribution    
with the least possible handling        
and waste and will have a marked effect 
in keeping           down the cost of   
living4            8,we want to reduce  
the cost of bringing food           into
 the city1 and this can be done by means
 of           better transit facilities 
with terminal markets to                

increase the convenience of the people  
of this city           in buying at     
retail in some of the finest and most   
sanitary markets in the world4 ,the     
plans are only           now in the     
process of formation and ,i hope that

them to completion40            ,george

building was a disgrace to the city four
           years ago10 he said4 8,but   
the new building is           offered as
 a promise that this in time shall be   
the standard of all markets of the city4
 ,the start           toward the        
reconstruction of ,washington ,market   
was made six years ago by the money

            ,controller ,prendergast    
said that the new market           ought
 to arouse the people of the city to the
           possibilities of having a    
fine market system4            8,we have
 been trying to solve the market problem
           through three or four        
unrelated departments10 he              
said1 8but nothing can be accomplished  
without           central authority4    
,last ,spring we asked the              

,legislature for authority to amend our 
charter           to provide for a      
,department of ,markets1 but it         
refused4 ,i think this was a great      
mistake4 ,we shall           make the   
same application again this ,winter4 ,if
 the           new ,constitution goes   
through we will ask the ,board          
of ,aldermen to pass a bill creating    
such a body40            ,during the    
week the special exhibits will occupy   
places in the galleries4 ,up in the     
gallery is a           woman suffrage   
booth1 from which printed arguments     
in favor of giving women the vote were  
distributed           yesterday1 with   
oral arguments for those who stayed     
to listen4 ,in another corner of the    
gallery the           ,national         
,security ,league had an exhibition of  
modern small arms and various charts    
showing the           low rank in       
military strength held by this country  
in comparison with other powers4 ,the   
,national           ,housewives' ,league

 had a booth from which advice on       
reducing the cost of living was issued  
and various           patent foods were 
advertised4            ,today will be   
given over to an exposition of the      
pure food principles for which the

the bed of the river midway through the 
tube           the train hesitated for a
 moment where the boundary              
line between ,new ,york and ,new ,jersey
 was marked by           a chain of     
glittering incandescent lights4 ,the two
           governors arose and clasped  
hands1 and then the           train

of the ,delaware1 ,lackawanna

beginning is to be made in opening for  
operation             the ,hudson tunnel
 system1 ,i write to express my         
regret that ,i cannot be present in     
person1 and my             high         
appreciation of what you have           
accomplished4             ,the tunneling
 of the ,hudson ,river is indeed a      
notable achievement--one of those       
achievements             of which all   
,americans are1 as they should be1      
justly proud4 ,the tunnel itself and the

 great             buildings constructed
 in connection therewith                
represent a work of extraordinary       
magnitude1             represent        
extraordinary difficulties successfully 
overcome1 while difficulty and magnitude
 are even             surpassed by the  
usefulness of the achievement4          
,the whole system is practically below  
tidal             water1 and this makes 
it much the greatest                    
subaqueous tunnel in the world4 ,it is a
 bigger             undertaking than any
 ,alpine tunnel which has yet           
been constructed1 and the successful    
completion             represents the   
moving of ,new ,jersey bodily three     
miles nearer to ,new ,york in point of  
time and             immensely increases
 the ease of access from one            
state to the other4 ,you who have       
brought this             great          
achievement to a successful conclusion  
ought to be most heartily congratulated4
 ,it is             the kind of business

 achievement which is in the            
highest degree creditable to the        
,american people1             and for   
which ,american people should feel and  
publicly acknowledge their hearty       
gratitude4             ,sincerely yours1

twilight when the lights           on

blue-gray           mist1 something very
 like the spirit of the city is         
made visible4            ,it is this

invisible1 the touching of the          
intangible--which is           in the   
statue and makes it what it is4 ,anna   
,vaughn           ,hyatt1 its sculptor1 
sees only the spiritual in              
,jeanne1 and in her work she holds      
indefinitely for           us the moment
 after the finding of the consecrated   
sword1 which ,jeanne holds high over her
 head as           she stands erect in  
her saddle1 her head thrown             
back in exaltation4 ,the horse is all   
but prancing4           ,there is       
something of certainty and joyousness   
about the whole which could be inspired 
by nothing           purely material or 
temporal4 ,the upward gesture           
of the sword is not without meaning--it 
is the           natural movement of a

,france1 and one in                     
,philadelphia4 ,the figure of the ,maid 
was modelled           after ,clara     
,hunter ,hyatt1 the sculptor's niece1   
but the face is idealistic1 giving ,miss
 ,hyatt's           own conception of   
the way ,jeanne looked4 ,the            
horse was modelled in ,paris1 but the   
final work           for the statue was 
done in ,miss ,hyatt's ,studio in       
,annisquam1 ,massachusetts1 where she   
worked almost           entirely        
outdoors4 ,a model of this statue has   
been           placed in the ,cathedral 
at ,blois where ,jeanne was             
confirmed and a bronze copy will be     

placed in front           of the        
,cathedral as soon as the money can be  
raised4            ,especially numerous 
are the statues and memorials           
of ,jeanne in and around ,domremy1 now

by ,e4 ,paul1 erected in #ahhe1 stands  
in front of           the village church

painting by ,balze representing her as  
she listened           to the ,voices4

she was born1 near to the church1 is a  
group by           ,merci showing her as
 she left her home led by the           
,genius of ,france1 and over the door   
are the royal           arms of ,france 
and those given to ,jeanne and her      
family4 ,in a niche above is a kneeling 
figure of a           girl1 made about  
#adef1 and the cottage has become       
almost a museum1 filled with small      
belongings           of ,jeanne herself4

decorated and illuminated1 helped to    
impress upon throngs of spectators in   
the city           streets last night   
the fact that great strides have        
been made in the development of both    
pleasure and           service vehicles4

 ,the pageant1 which was a feature      
of the ,tercentenary celebration1 also  
gave to           thousands an hour of  
brightness and pleasure4            ,the
 parade started in ,harlem1 and1 after  
covering           the principal streets
 there1 swept down town and             
passed the reviewing stand in front of  
the ,new ,york           ,public        
,library4 ,governor ,glynn and ,mayor   
,mitchel           reached the stand at 
the head of the column4 ,they           
were accompanied1 the ,governor by his  
staff1 and           ,mayor ,mitchel by 
prominent citizens4            ,as both 
officials had other engagements1 they   
left before the second division arrived1
 but they           enjoyed seeing the  
motorcycles dash past1 many in          
grotesque decorations4            ,as   
one of the motorcycles sped down ,fifth 
avenue           below ,forty-second    
street it encountered a big             
automobile4 ,policemen managed to draw  
them apart4            ,one of the      

amusing features of the division was the
           musicians riding on          
motorcycles4 ,they had on war           
bonnets and were escorted by a band of  
,indians4            ,one young woman in
 white duck trousers1 coat and          
cap1 her costume being the counterpart  
of that           of her male companion1
 attracted a good deal of               
attention1 as the two sped past the     
official stand4            ,the celerity
 with which this division went down     
,fifth avenue led spectators who filled 
the three           stands--the         
,governor's at the south1 the ,mayor's  
in the centre and a third at the north  
of the           block--as well as the  
thousands forming a solid           mass
 along the streets1 to believe that the 
pageant           would move quickly4   
,but a wait of almost half an           
hour ensued after the passing of the    
8,indians40            ,at last the     
intercepted line of decorated           
automobiles began to appear1 and for    

more than an           hour there was an
 unceasing flashing of brilliant        
lights1 massed flowers1 bunting1        
pennants and           flags1 all of    
which formed attractive decorations4

when an           automobile filled with
 young women dressed in the             
national colors whizzed by the judges'  
box4 8,he           ,comes ,up

           wearing bathroom attire1 who

four automobiles in one

,new ,york ,world            ,have you  
ever been in a smoking car when the man 
in the seat ahead was trying to prove   
that forced           draught does not  
improve the natural perfume of a        
rubber plant in a cigar make-up8 ,if you
 have not           it will be          

impossible to bring to you from last    
night the atmosphere of the automobile  
parade in           celebration of ,new 
,york's three hundredth business        
birthday4            ,the fact that many
 of the automobiles were                
charmingly decorated proved nothing     
except that one           can never tell
 by the band what sort of smoke it is   
wrapped around4            ,take a      
pretty light blue scarf of oil smudge   
and weave it about festoons of          
parti-colored           incandescent    
globes suspended along the sidewalks1   
and you have the scene at ,fifth avenue 
and           ,forty-second street last 
night1 as the parade           snorted  
past the reviewing stand in front of the
           public library4              
,the plan was to have ,gov4 ,glynn and  
,mayor ,mitchel           sit in the    
stand and watch the parade go by4 ,but  
the ,governor and the ,mayor had so many
 other           engagements last night 
that they started with the              

parade1 arrived half an hour before it1 
and got           away before the parade
 arrived at the reviewing               
stand4            ,fortunately1 however1
 most persons in the                    
automobiles did not know that1 and the  
men saluted           just as correctly1
 and the women bowed just as            
sweetly1 as if the rulers were on the   
job--so           nobody could see that 
it made much difference that            
they were not4            ,officials in 
charge said that the reason the         
motorcycle portion of the parade arrived
 about           half an hour before the
 next section was that the              
motorcycles could not stop or they would
 tip over4           ,the fact that     
there were several long gaps in the     
parade was due to no fault of theirs1   
the officials           added4          
,the gaps gave spectators--when they    
weren't           thinking how chilly it
 had got all of a sudden--a             
chance to observe how neat and roomy the

 ,fifth           avenue roadway looks  
when there is no traffic on             
it4 ,many persons thought this the most 
remarkable           sight of the       
evening4            ,more than #b1jjj   
automobiles and trucks and #a1jjj       
motorcycles were in line4 ,prizes worth 
more than           #f1jjj had been     
offered--#e1jjj worth by the            
,tercentenary ,commission4              
,by way of proving that some persons    
will try           anything once to win 
a prize1 women in some of           the 
most beautifully gotten up cars failed  
to put           on the same amount of  
clothes they would fail to           put
 on if they were going to the opera4    
,nobody           denied that this was a
 fetching idea in automobile            
decorations--but it was cold enough last
 night to           wear at least a     
necklace1 which1 indeed1 some of        
those women did4            ,among the  
floats was one advertising a make of    
auto tire4 ,two gigantic human shaped   

figures1 made           of tiring--or   
whatever they call the stuff they       
make tires of--wobbled about on a big   
float4 ,then           there was a man  
who kept coming up smiling from         
the depths of a big bathtub4 ,when one  
saw him at a           distance one was 
thrilled1 but on nearer view one        
perceived that he was really wearing

because the ,grand ,army men had        
felt the vibration of patriotic feeling 
in the           atmosphere1 and because
 it was a perfect day1 the              
soldiers of the civil war1 in spite of  
the waste           in their ranks which

number than           they have at any  
,memorial ,day procession in the        
preceding three years4            ,the  
weather brought out great crowds along  
the           ,drive and in other parts 
of the city where           ,memorial   
,day exercises of one kind or another   
were           held4 ,with the sky      
cloudless and the sun shining           
brilliantly1 breezes from the ,hudson   
,river kept the           marchers and  
the spectators cool and put life even   

into flags which shells and time had    
almost reduced           to ribbons4    
,probably more than #ej1jjj people had  
gathered           along the line of    
march4 ,as the crowd was larger         
it was also more enthusiastic than      
usual4 ,the big           demonstrations
 were1 of course1 for the game old      
men and the pathetic ruins of their     
colors4 ,in           spite of the fact 
that the majority of them had           
passed three score and ten and that many
 crippled           by old wounds and   
age had to carry canes1 they            
responded quickly to tactical orders    
from their           commanders and as a
 body moved with the precision          
of a smooth-running war machine4        
,receiving cheers and shouts of         
encouragement at           every block1 
they were kept busy smiling and         
saluting4 ,they passed thousands and    
thousands of           ,american flags1 
as a large proportion of those in       
the crowd carried small ones4 ,flags    

were hung out           of windows all  
along the ,drive4            ,the flag  
display throughout the city yesterday1  
as           well as along the line of  
march of the procession1           was  
the greatest the city has seen since    
,spanish           war days at least4   
,along many of the residence            
streets flags hung in clusters4 ,along  
,broadway1           wherever there was 
a flagpole1 there was a large           
flag out1 while small ones by thousands 
flapped           from windows and      
thousands of tiny ones stuck out        
of buttonholes4            ,special     
cheers along the line of march were     
given           for the twelve doughty  
old ,zouaves who appeared in            
faded red baggy trousers with the       
characteristic           jacket and     
tasseled fez4 ,also the crowds approved 
noisily of occasional ranks of veterans 
who           appeared with swords drawn
 and the blades flashing                
brightly4            ,one of the        

marchers who was cheered all the way

carried medals for service both in the

yesterday afternoon1 after ,santa ,claus
 had           entered through the      
window and dispensed his good           
cheer from a tree which stood in the    
centre of the           children's ward4
            ,jimmie has been in a form  
for months1 being treated           for 
spinal trouble4 ,he could only move his 
hands1           roll his head and      
laugh4 ,but1 oh1 how he did laugh1      
and sing1 too4 ,and little ,mildred1 she
 was strapped           to a board4     
,mildred has not advanced far enough to 
be taken off the board and put into a   
form2 but           she1 too1 could move
 her hands and roll her head            
and laugh and cuddle her 8dawg0 to her  
bosom4            ,the ward contains #ci
 children at present1 suffering         
from injuries and being treated for     
various           ailments4 ,perhaps    
some of them will never have            
another ,christmas4 ,but if you had     
closed your eyes           and heard    
them laughing and singing1 you would    

never have thought you were in a        
hospital4 ,many of           them were  
able to sit up1 and so that they could  
all be in one room1 two were put in some
 beds4           ,those who could sit up
 had little red wrappers over           
their nighties1 and propped up around   
the sides of           the room1 they   
looked for all the world like little    
animated red holly berries4             
,santa was delayed4 ,he told them he had
 gotten as           far as the grounds1
 and then1 having forgotten             
one present1 had to drive #ejjj miles   
back to his           ice-covered       
palace4 ,and then1 when he returned1    
,jerry1 one of his reindeers1 had fallen
 into the           pond in front of the
 hospital1 and it had taken two         
hours to fish him out2 honest1 it did4  
,but1 oh1 what a reception he received4 
,thirty-nine           little bed-ridden
 tots singing 8,jingle ,bells0 when     
he bounded in the window4 ,singing1 did 
we say8           ,could they sing8 ,you

 should have heard them4 ,angels        
never sang sweeter4 ,they warbled and   
caroled1 just           as if they were 
as free as the birds1 instead of        
being inmates of a hospital ward4       
,and1 my1 what a tree6 ,it touched the  
ceiling1 and           its boughs hung  
down with its heavy burdens4 ,only      
a ,christmas tree can bear such         
products--and such           trees as   
that one don't grow everywhere and don't
           bring such cheer4 ,there were
 dolls and games1           houses and  
boats1 dogs and cats1 stoves and balls1 
and bags and bags of candy4 ,the tree   
was decorated           with chains and 
strings of pop corn and ,santas         
which had been made by the children     
themselves4            ,the presents    
were given out first1 and then came     
the candy and oranges4 ,the bags of     
candy were torn           open1 almost  
greedily1 and there was a general       
sticky munching4            8,aren't you
 afraid you will make yourself sick

 he held up a           rubber ball

makes herself much beloved by the young

            ,many convalescent adult    
patients were present1           having 
been helped in from other wards4 ,they  
were           all remembered1 too1 as  
well as the children1 when           the

joined and           clapped until one  
would have thought their little         
hands would be sore4            ,early  
this morning the nurses visited various 
parts of the hospital singing carols4

           their booths in the public   

square1 so the players           of     
,stuart ,walker's ,portmanteau ,theatre 
arranged a           stage for a        
pantomime last night in ,madison        
,square4           ,the play1 it had    
been announced1 would begin at #i       
o'clock1 but many of the players were   
unable to get           away from       
engagements at uptown theatres on time4 
,meanwhile the crowd grew4              
,it was a long wait4 ,the arc lights in 
the park had           been turned off4 
,the clouds1 which were hanging so      
low that their soft masses could be seen
 flying           past the light on the 
top of the ,metropolitan                
tower1 threatened to pour down a shower 
at any           minute4 ,all of the    
lights on the giant ,christmas          
tree near by had been turned off1 except
 the star1           and the wind       
whistled and moaned in the tree as it   
tossed the waving green branches4 ,only 
a band which           was concealed    
behind the stage kept any liveliness    

stirring4            ,finally1 at #i3cj1
 concealed lights on the stage lit      
up the blue scenery and the pantomime   
began4 ,the           name of the play  
was 8,the ,seven ,gifts1 a ,fantasy of  
,christmas ,giving40 ,the principal     
characters were           the ,wanderer1

side of the           theatre announced 
the action of the play so that          
all might understand4            ,the   
trumpeters signaled for silence4 ,the   
crowd of           about #b1ejj1 which  
stretched on all the paths as           
far as ,fifth ,avenue1 became still4    
,chimes sounded           as the        
,wanderer1 an old man with a pack on his
           back1 clad in garb of brown1 
blue and yellow1 came           from    

among the spectators4 ,he saw the stage 
with           its closely drawn        
curtains4 ,what was it all for1 he      
mutely questioned1 and started to pull  
the curtains           of the theatre   
within a theatre to investigate1        
but at that moment out stepped the      
prologuist and           answered his   
question by telling mutely1 8,the       
theatre is for you1 ,wanderer1 and for  
you and you           and you10 to the  
audience1 8and for all who come to      
share this fantasy40            ,then   
the inner curtain slowly rose and       
disclosed           the court of the    
,emerald ,queen with her attendants4    
,in the course of the play seven gifts  
were brought           to her4 ,the     
first was ,jack-in-the-,box1 which      
part was taken by ,tom ,powers1 who     
danced for the           ,queen4 ,then  
the ,lowly ,man and his son brought in  
a scraggly little ,christmas tree1      
which1 however1           being the best
 they had1 was acceptable to the        

,queen4 ,the ,haughty ,lady brought     
flowers1 but would           take no    
notice of the ,lowly ,man and his son4  
,the ,richest ,man in the ,world brought
 to the ,queen           many treasures1
 but when a bubble blew across the      
stage and the ,queen wished for it1     
neither he nor           his attendants 
could capture it4 ,finally1 when he     
managed to touch it1 it burst4          
,then the ,humble ,woman came with her  
bird1 but when           a cage was     
brought for it she set it free1 refusing
           to give it into captivity4   
,the ,haughty ,lady was           very  
much touched and became repentant of her
 proud           action4 ,the ,bravest  
,man in the ,world then entered         
and had an amusing fight with           
,jack-in-the-,box1 who                  
simulated a tiger4 ,then came the       
strolling players           with their  
play4            ,scenery was set up and
 a pretty story of ,pierrot             
and the ,moon ,lady enacted4            

,the ,moon ,lady first appeared as an   
old hag to whom           ,pierrot      
offered food4 ,but she wanted kisses1   
for           only by the kiss of one   
who had never kissed a fair             
lady could she regain her maidenly form4
 ,pierrot           was evidently the   
one to do the job1 for as soon as       
he kissed her she became the beautiful  
,moon ,lady           once again and    
,pierrot fell madly in love with her4   
,he chased her1 but she eluded him1     
wafting her veil           tantalizingly
 in his face4 ,at last1 when the sun    
rose1 she was forced to leave him       
altogether1 and           ,pierrot was  
quite broken up about it4               
,the seventh gift was from the ,dear    
,child1 who           presented her own 
doll1 somewhat the worst for            
wear1 to the ,queen4 ,but this gift came
 from the           heart and was worth 
all the others4 ,the ,queen told        
her that she might take what she would  
of the many           presents that had 

been brought4 ,looking at all the       
gifts her eye finally lighted on the    
bright star at           the top of the 
great tree in the square4 ,she said     
she wanted that1 and as the ,queen and  
courtiers           followed her gesture
 the huge tree burst into               
light4 ,the ,queen dismissed the others 
and departed           herself4         
,turning1 the child saw that the room   
was empty1 and           there was her  
gift on the throne4 ,she took the doll  
to look at each present1 but the doll1  
too1 refused           them all4 ,then  
the child placed the doll on the        
,queen's throne1 to play at being       
,queen1 while the           lights on   
the stage grew dimmer and dimmer1 as the
           fantasy ended4               
,many left because the narrow paths of  
the park were           crowded1 but had
 there been one wide-open space1        
ten times the number could have seen the

at           his late place of abode at

,deceased was a prominent figure in the 
downtown           district1 being      
usually accompanied by a band4 ,his     
dmise was not unexpected but was        
nevertheless a           shock to many  
who were accustomed to take chances     
with the lake breezes until far into    
autumn4 ,hatt           and ,dame       
,fashion were closely allied during the 
summer silly season1 but his departure  
from this           existence apparently
 is not mourned by the fickle           
despot1 who herself had foretold that   
,september           #a would see the   
last of ,hatt4 ,hatt1 despite his       
unmistakable masculinity1 was frequently
 mistaken           for the mysterious  
,miss ,dolly ,dimples of ,the           

,evening ,wisconsin1 and it was a common
 sight to           see him madly       
pursued by a score of irate but         
prominent citizens in the vicinity of   
,grand avenue           bridge on a     
windy day4 ,it probably was because of  
,hatt's close proximity to many classic 
brows that           he was so popular  
in various ,greek boot-black            
establishments1 where the swarthy sons  
of ,hellas           spent ten minutes  
at a time in putting him through        
oxalic baths with the hope of insuring  
longevity           and pristine luster4

,entirely surrounded by ,scotch flags1

looked the most pleased man in the world
 as he got           up to speak4 ,he   
had just led the singing of the         
8,star ,spangled ,banner10 and 8,god    
,save the ,king10           and remarked
 in his first paragraph that he hadn't  
much voice left for his speech4         
,but1 with ,scotland for a text1 he     
managed to talk           brawly for    
about twenty minutes1 and by the time   
he was back in his seat ,scotland had   

claimed           everything in sight4  
8,scotland is a land of small           
population1 but her           sons1

,ironmaster4           ,everybody       
laughed at that1 but ,mr4 ,carnegie held
 up           a deprecating hand and    
said that he wasn't trying           to 
be funny1 that he was seizing the       
occasion to           make known just a 
little of what ,scotchmen had done      
for the world4            ,whereupon he 
harked back to the fifth century1 at    
which time he declared mankind began to 
look to the           land o' cakes for 
pattern and example4            ,running
 then somewhat rapidly down the         
centuries1           he maintained that 
for all those years ,scotland had       
been supreme in three branches above all
 others3           religion1 politics   
and education4            ,nobody on    
earth1 for instance1 ever had more      
religious liberty than ,scotchmen have  
always had4           ,the humblest     

cotter over there was as free to        
worship ,his ,maker in his own way as   
was ,his ,majesty           the ,king4  
,mr4 ,carnegie had observed that much in
           ,scotland in his boyhood and 
had been forcibly           struck with 
it every time he had been back since4   
,in ,america1 to sum up on the count of 
religious           liberty1 there is as
 much liberty as in ,scotland1          
but no more1 and1 anyway1 ,america      
borrowed the idea           from the    
free kirk4            ,when he came down
 to political greatness1 ,mr4           
,carnegie gave his hearers a shock4 ,the
 ,united           ,states owed its     
,constitution to a ,scotchman1 ,judge   
,wilson1 and ,mr4 ,carnegie proved it by
 quoting a           letter which he    
said ,george ,washington had written    
,wilson1 saying 8we owe the ,american   
,constitution to           you40

along to the           matter of

watched him hold court with the little  
queens of           ,fairyland1 whom ,de
 ,wolf ,hopper had imported from        
the ,majestic theatre4 ,above the crib  
was a copper           plate bearing the
 inscription1 8,in ,loving ,memory      

of ,katherine ,harris ,wilkes10 and it  
was between           this plate and the
 happy group paying homage to           
little ,jack that the woman divided her 
attention4           ,sometimes it      
seemed as if tears were responsible     
for the glistening in her eyes1 but this
 impression           died away when her
 gaze rested on the little man in       
the crib4            ,he was a happy    
little fellow1 and his smile was        
contagious4 ,even the staid little      
members of the           8,pied ,piper0 
chorus1 exalted to the pinnacle of      
dignity by being permitted to take part 
in a           8benefit performance10   
melted before it4 ,they had             
approached his crib shyly1 but the      
effusiveness of           his greeting  
was irresistible4            8,i was

,i'm           goin' to stay now for the

,marguerite ,clarke1 who           plays
 the part of ,elvira in the ,hopper     
show4 ,jack           accepted this     
tribute complacently1 for when one is   
four years old and the pet of an entire 
hospital           staff1 homage becomes
 almost commonplace4            8,which 
of these little girls do you like best80
           queried the smiling nurse1   
who was chaperoning           ,jack's   
guests4 ,now ,jack's last name is       
,mac,intyre1           and he proved    
right then and there that he was a      
bona fide 8,mac10 blarney and all4

smilingly           over the entire     
party1 8,i like 'em all40               
,this diplomatic answer won so much     
commendation           from the little  
girl guests that it is probable         
that ,jack would still be holding court 
if the           performance planned to 
gladden both him and his                
little comrades had not been scheduled  

to start at           #a o'clock sharp4 
,chirps of impatience from other        
parts of the ward warned the party that 
their visit           must be cut short2
 so the little fairy queens             
left ,jack and prepared for their       
entrance on the           miniature     
stage which had been erected in the     
middle of the big room4 ,only the       
sweet-faced woman           who had     
stood silently beside the crib remained1
           and ,jack turned his beaming 
face upon her4            8,are you     
happy1 dear80 she said4                 
8,sure10 he chuckled2 8there's goin' to 
be a show4           ,ain't you never   
seen a show80            ,the woman     
turned from him a second and looked up  
at           the inscription on the     
plate above his crib4 ,then             
she looked down at his smiling face     
again and said3            8,it's been a
 long time since ,i have seen one1

here to-day           with you4 ,may    

,i80            8,sure10 he said4 ,and  
then he stretched his tiny arm          
through the bars of the crib and laid   
his moist           little hand in      
hers--8,you and me1 together40

gave           aid to the blossoms in   

the garden in adding to the             
color effect4            ,it was a fete 
for the delight of all the grownups1    
but it really belonged to the little    
,miss ,muffets           and their      
brothers and sisters4 ,this little bit  
of a ,mother ,goose child was there in  
the person           of ,mary ,belden1  
who looked so bewitching in her         
flowered ankle-long frock demurely laced
 in front           with velvet ribbon1 
her fascinating mob cap and             
strapped white slippers that even then  
she might           have been in a      
terrible fright of the wicked spider    
had it not been for the wonderful mitts 
she wore4           ,they were quaint   
and black1 and ,miss ,muffet's pride    
in them apparently gave chase to her    
timidity4            ,riding a pony with
 all his might was little ,j4 ,w4       
,mc,garvey4 ,a pale blue long-tailed    
coat had he1 and           a stunning   
high hat sat proudly and securely on his
           head4            ,betty

 over           her pretty white frock  
and also a big black riding             
hat4            ,far from contrary and  
altogether fascinating were             
the 8pretty maids all in a row10 and    
even the           original contrary    
,mary might have been forgiven for      
her contrariness had she appeared in the
 frock           this ,mary 7,miss      
,virginia ,aikins7 wore4 ,her costume   
was a checkered one in many hues1 banded
 about the           bottom with velvet 
ribands4 ,her big1 big hat in           
,leghorn and her extensive lace collar  
gave her a           very important air4
            ,the pretty maids were      
decked in flowered frocks           of  
gayest chintzes1 bobbing poke bonnets   
and ,maud           ,muller hats4       
,ribbon streamers mingled with their    
curls and gave to the costumes a        
graceful touch4            ,the two     
little ,pussy ,cats were attractive     
little           kittens in posied      

skirts and black coats4                 
,almost too heavy for little ,jacky     
,horner was the           big ,christmas
 pie4 ,but the broadly checked long     
trousers and the checked 8runabout0     
composed a very           stunning suit4
            ,too pretty to tumble in    
were the costumes of ,jack           and
 ,jill1 ,virginia and ,penelope ,smith4 
,jack's suit           of sprigged      
chintz and ,jill's plaid swirling skirts
           were topped by a high hat and
 a bright bonnet with           plaid   
bands4 ,with his faithful crook1 a gay  
yellow           suit and a cocked hat  
,little ,bo ,peep took his way          
after his sheep very energetically4     
8,the ,merchantmen0 were costumed in    
velvet doublets           and hose4     
,these were in bright blue and rose and 
green and purple4 ,their velvet         
,beef-eater hats were           true to 
the type and very becoming to the       
wearers4            ,outside the garden 
the grounds were turned into

,patrick's           ,cathedral to-day  
to listen to a solemn high mass1        
celebrated with all the stately pomp of

in honor of the diamond jubilee of      
his 8,apostolic ,majesty ,francis

,archbishop ,farley sat in his high seat
 at the left           of the chancel1  
surrounded by monsignori in violet1     

while the glimmer of many-hued cassocks1
 the           rustling of stoles1 and  
the shimmer of the purple               
gowns of the acolytes filled the broad  
altar with a           constant play of 
shifting colors4            ,through    
windows1 high up1 the cold early-winter 
sunshine poured1 warmed by the gracious 
tones of           the panes1 and       
mingled with the yellow light of the    
candles on the high altar4 ,at intervals
 along the           nave and in the    
side aisles bunches of electric         
lights twinkled dimly4            ,the  
church filled rapidly1 and by the time  
the           first premonitory rumbles 
of the organ started           the      
echoes flying back and forth among the  
lofty           arches1 the front part1 
clear across the transept1           was
 full1 and scarce a pew throughout the  
entire           body of the edifice    
that did not have its quota of          
the devout4            ,not all were    
,austrians or ,hungarians1 or any one   

of the myriad nationalities ruled over  
by the aged           ,emperor-,king2   
not all were ,catholics1 either4 ,many  
were there simply to do honor to a man  
who had           ruled the most        
scattered country in the world for      
sixty years1 the span of an ordinary    
man's life4            ,in the front    
pews sat the diplomats and guests of    
honor1 with here and there among them   
the glitter           of a uniform or a 
decoration4 ,an ,austrian in the        
full uniform of his country's service1  
his glazed1           yellow-plumed     
shako on his arm and sword clanking     
at his heels1 strode up the centre aisle
 to a pew4           ,his stiff         
pompadour and little moustache reminded 
one of the slim lieutenants who haunt   
the cafs of           ,vienna and       
,buda-,pest4 ,while one felt            
instinctively           that he would   
have been out of place on ,fifth        
,avenue1 somehow his strange uniform    
fitted in with           the atmosphere 

of the church4            ,the organ    
started and the procession of altar     
boys1           acolytes1 priests1 and  
deacons appeared4 ,candles              
glimmered1 rose and fell1 to the organ's
 swelling           prelude4 ,with the  
clergy ranged in orderly rows

shimmering gold vestments1 advanced     
and commenced the preliminary ceremonies
 of the           mass4            ,it  
was all very beautiful and imposing1 and
 the           vast congregation sat    
spellbound through the scene1           
while the clergy1 the celebrants1 and   
the masters           of the ceremonies1
 the ,rev4 ,j4 ,v4 ,lewis and the

work of ,francis ,joseph1 of his long

,father ,mateus1 who followed ,father   
,schumack1 spoke           in the       
,magyar tongue4 ,many there were in the 
audience who leaned forward attentively 
in their           seats1 drinking in   
the unwonted words4 ,to them it         
was like a breath fresh from the        
fatherland4 ,but           the majority 
of the audience could only appreciate   
the priest's fine delivery1 which sent  
his resonant           words clanging   
distinctly into every farthest          
corner of the building4            ,at  
last1 ,father ,mateus climbed down from 
the           pulpit1 and the service   
was continued4 ,and           then1 when
 it was nearly time to go1 the whole    
congregation rose and joined with the   
choir and the           priests in

example of ,porter ,gray1 the boy who   
wouldn't go to           chapel4        
,chapel cutting in those times was      
considered a           pretty serious   
offense2 yet here was the ,gray boy     
back on the campus today with the full  
knowledge           and consent of the  
faculty4            ,and more than that1
 the faculty--regardless of the         
fact that it wasn't much more than      
twenty-nine           years ago that he 
was suspended--patted him on the        
back1 defied the rules of dignity by    
joining the           student body in an

making him a bachelor of science4       
,those of the town folk who saw ,porter

been back at school long before he      
met another bad boy--a chap named

got into trouble with the university    
authorities and left as hastily as his  
classmate1           ,gray4 ,harrison   
has changed a lot1 too4 ,he has         
put on flesh1 and he says that even

his alma mater he got a good            
position in ,chicago as a municipal     
judge4            ,the new school       
educators in charge at the

they did the           ,gray boy--only  

it was a bachelor of literature they    
made him4            ,the two

be a bachelor of science when they      
get through with me at the exercises10  
he           answered4 8,the degree     
might have done me some                 
good--twenty-nine years ago--but ,i     
don't think           it'll be of any

anything up4 ,after looking over the    
new fangled outfits on display along the

,in cap and gown he paraded into the    
university           auditorium with the
 rest of the candidates for             
degrees4 ,in the section to which he was
 ushered           he found a dozen     
familiar faces1 all seamed with         
wrinkles like his own1 and most of them 
adorned           with spectacles4 ,the 
owners of the faces remembered

and conferring on him the degree held   
back for           twenty-nine years1

his return4            ,gray told how1  
after losing his battle for             
reinstatement in the courts1 he had     

decided to           cut himself off    
forever from the university2 how        
the alma mater had forgotten his        
existence1 and           then1 with the 
unearthing of some old records1 had     
8discovered0 him and offered him a      
degree4            8,if they had not    
said the first word ,i never would      
have taken it10 ,gray protested4 8,if ,i
 had it to do           all over again  
,i would not change my course4 ,i was

,in spite of his narrow means and close

,gray began to acquire a campus         
reputation as the man who never went to

 a           short time ago when he was 
engaged in rounding up           the old
 alumni for a home coming4 ,he wrote to 
,gray           in ,chicago1 and urged  
him to visit the ,university4           
,gray1 embittered by a vain fight that  
had taken           his last dollar     
years ago and had ended only in         
the ,state ,supreme ,court1 to compel   
the ,university           to give him   
his degree1 replied curtly that all     
he wished the ,university to do was to

those dealing with illness1 surgical    
operations1 and deaths that are

illness or death sometimes give value to
 news that otherwise would be of slight

should be not only to give biographical 
facts but to bring out the significance

a long whistle from the green stalk of a
 plant4           ,on it he whistled1   

imitating the calls of the              
birds he knew1 and so well did he do it 
that           the birds answered and   
came to the yard of the           great

birds that           gathered at his    
feet to eat of the crumbs he            
scattered for them when they answered

his gun were missing1 gone no one knew  
where4 ,that           night he         
returned1 exhausted and broken1 until he
           could scarcely bear his gun4 
,he wrapped himself           in his    
blanket1 too tired even to whistle for  
the           birds4 ,it was two weeks

age of #e he had been the victim of an  
accident           in which a door had  
fallen on him and caused a              
dent in his skull1 and it was their     
theory that           the consequent    
pressure on the brain might have        
unsettled his mind and thus affected his

 disposition           has given way to

operation has not only meant much for   
,anton ,heim1           but is full of  
significance as to possibilities        
along these lines4            ,another

 continuous           service1 died at  

the ,wesson ,memorial hospital          
yesterday after a long illness4 ,mr     
,white had been           identified    
with the fire service of the city for   
more than #ej years4 ,during his period 
of active           service1 ,mr ,white 
spent most of his time as               
engineer1 taking charge during his later
 years           of the engines in the  
,north-street fire station4             
,during his #ce years of service1 ,mr   
,white was           absent from his    
post only one month1 and then on        
account of illness4 ,there was probably 
no man in           the department who  
was better known or who was             
better liked by the men in the          
department4 ,he was a           skilful 
machinist1 and his worth to the         
department           was frequently     
recognized by the different chiefs      
under whom he served4            ,mr    
,white was born at ,amherst1 ,october   
#aa1 #ahdb4 ,he           removed with  
his parents to this city when he was    

#ab years old4 ,he received his early   
education in           his native town1 
and after he came here he attended      
the ,union-street school4 ,his first    
employment was           in the ,united 
,states armory1 where he practically    
completed his trade as machinist4 ,he   
subsequently           worked for ,smith
  ,wesson for four years as             
tool-maker1 and it was there that he    
received the           training which   
fitted him for his work in the fire     
department4 ,while he was employed at   
the ,smith            ,wesson shop1 he  
became a call man in the fire           
department4 ,he was appointed to the    
permanent           service in #ahgb1   
just nine years after he became         
affiliated with the department as a call
 man4            ,his first active      
duties were as hose-man4 ,he was        
stationed at the old fire station1      
formerly located           in the rear  
of where the ,granite building is now4  
,his next work was as stoker on the     

,hanson ,no #b           engine1        
stationed on ,sanford street4 ,he later 
became a full-fledged engineer on the   
old monitor1           ,george ,dwight4 
,mr ,white was later assigned to the    
,pynchon-street engine-house1 where he  
served as           engineer on the ,no 
#a engine4 ,he was stationed there      
from #ahgb until #ahgf4 ,in #ahgf he was
 transferred           to the           
,bond-street engine-house1 where he     
remained           until his retirement 
in ,june4 ,it was a matter of           
notable record in the fire department   
that during           all this time he  
ran the old ,no #a engine without       
experiencing any accidents or having his
 engine           tied up because of    
failure to work properly4               
,when ,mr ,white first became affiliated
 with the           fire department     
there were but four companies1          
with #bf men each1 in service in the    
city4 ,the           companies were     
located on ,pynchon street1 on the      

,hill1 near the old railroad station1   
and on ,sanford           street4       
,during the early '#gj's the system of  
naming fire engines was succeeded by the
 present           system of numbering  
them4 ,when ,mr ,white entered          
the service1 ,l4 ,h4 ,powers was chief  
engineer1 and           he was succeeded
 by ,hosea ,lombard4 ,it was during     
his regime as chief that the present    
department           actually came into 
existence4 ,it is a singular fact       
that ,mr ,white saw service in the      
department during           the period  
that ,springfield experienced its       
biggest           fires4 ,from the date 
of his connection with the              
department until his retirement there   
were seven           very disastrous    
fires4            ,during his many years
 in the department he was               
constantly drafted from one engine-house
 to           another to do repair work4
 ,his expert knowledge           of     
apparatus made him invaluable in this   

respect4           ,when the company at 
the ,bond-street engine-house           
was transferred to the ,north-street    
station several           years ago1 he 
went with it and remained there until   
his retirement1 ,june #ae of this year4 
,mr ,white held           several       
patents on devices used on fire         
apparatus1           but never troubled 
to have them put on the market4         
,some of these devices1 however1 have   
been used with           satisfaction4  
,mr ,white was taken ill last ,may1 and 
it was with           difficulty that he
 was persuaded to leave the             
active list4 ,he eventually went to the 
,wesson           ,memorial hospital1   
where he remained constantly            
until his death yesterday4 ,mr ,white   
was married1           and for many     
years lived at #ifa ,second street4     
,his wife died a number of years ago1   
and since           that time he has    
made his home at the ,north-street      
fire station4 ,he was a member of ,de

those who were of it and in it in the   
8good old days0--,martin ,engel died    
yesterday in           his home at #bi  
,east ,third ,street4 ,he made money in 
his business of politics1 and it is said
 that his           son1 ,alfred ,s4    
,engel1 will inherit a comfortable      
fortune4 ,his death was due to ,bright's
 disease1           from which he had   
been a sufferer for some time4          
,martin ,engel rose to political power  
when the           immigrant ,jews from 
,russia1 ,rumania1 ,bohemia1 and        
,hungary began to crowd the ,irish out  
of the east           side4 ,the son of 

a 8kosher0 butcher1 he was born in      
the ,bowery and began life1 after       
leaving the public           schools1 in
 his father's butcher shop4 ,after the  
death of the father he continued the    
business1 and           even after his  
business became politics and his        
8office0 for all important purposes was 
in 8,silver           ,dollar0 ,smith's 
,hotel1 near the ,essex ,market ,court1 
he remained the nominal head of the     
market1 from           which fact he    
became known in the east side as        
8,butcher0 ,engel4            8,big     
,tim0 ,sullivan1 ,irishman1 and ,martin 
,engel1           ,jew1 were the        
combination that held the power         
in 8,de ,ate10 where fully #hj per cent4
 of the           fixed and floating    
voters spoke ,yiddish4 ,engel           
was apparently devoted to ,sullivan1 and
 was ever           faithful to 8,big   
,tim0 in matters political1 and1        
until the ,republican leader1 8,charley0
 ,adler1 began           to make trouble

 in the ,eighth1 he always 8swung the   
district0 at election time4             
,those who followed ,engel as their     
political leader           could never1 
in their own opinion1 exaggerate his    
virtues4 ,he was generous1 as all       
,tammany leaders           of the east  
side have been1 and he was successful   
in 8landing jobs0 for those who served  
the party4           ,also he was known 
to have a strong 8pull0 with            
the police1 and many an east side youth 
who 8got           in bad0 with the     
authorities owed his liberty to         
,engel's influence4 ,because of all     
these things he           was the       
leader1 and because he was the leader he
           cultivated the character and 
quality that enhanced           his     
leadership4            ,but to reformers
 ,engel was the personification of a    
vice that1 though seen with disturbing  
frequency1           could never be even
 endured1 much less embraced4 ,in       
8,de ,ate0 was what was known for many  

years as 8,the           ,red ,light    
,district40 ,engel's political enemies  
used           to dwell with views of   
alarm upon the protection               
under which the district thrived1 and   
,engel was           always named as the
 protector4            ,those who have  
seen ,engel remember as his most        
striking facial characteristic a        
8dented0 nose4           ,the bridge of 
his nose had been broken1 and until     
his death there was a depression in the 
centre of           his face that never 
failed to attract attention4            
,the scar was a mark of ,engel's rise to
 political           power4 ,he received
 the original injury in a fight         
years ago--and there have been stories  
of this           fight to ,engel's     
credit and to his discredit4 ,the       
only positive and printable fact is that
 a man who           became enraged     
against ,engel struck him across his    
nose with a bung-starter or some other  
equally           destructive weapon4   

,besides 8,silver ,dollar0 ,smith's     
hotel1 which           later became the 
property of ,engel himself1 the         
leader of 8,de ,ate0 had several        
8headquarters0 in           the district
 where those who knew his habits and    
haunts might find him4 ,his home was at 
#bi ,east           ,third ,street1     
where he died2 but in the days of       
his power he could be found most often  
at some of           his 8hanging-out0  
places--such as the clubrooms of        
the ,martin ,engel ,association1 at     
,ludlow and ,grand           ,streets1  
or the old ,caf ,boulevard1 in ,second  
,avenue1 where1 for a number of years1  
he regularly           received his     
henchmen between noon and #c o'clock4   
,although the kind of politics accepted 
as           legitimate by ,engel is    
passing for the good of                 
society1 there are those in the east    
side who will           feel real regret
 for the death of their former          
leader1 for whatever his vices were1    

,engel was           sympathetic and    
generous in his own way and in          
his moods1 and many a family would not  
have eaten           had he not supplied
 a meal1 many a man or woman            
would have gone barefoot had he not     
furnished           shoes4 ,also1 many a
 8down-and-outer0 would have            
gone thirsty if ,engel had not 8set 'em 
up0 to the           drinks4 ,so1       
somewhere east of the ,bowery1 where    
there were not many of the ,ten         
,commandments1 and           where a man
 could raise a very great thirst1 ,engel
           had his friends who will     
mourn him now4            99       99

,the odor from the chestnut roasters is 
as fragrant           as ever1 the      
heaped-up mounds of lettuce and kale    
on the mile of push carts are just as   
crisp and           green1 and there is 
the same glistening sheen on            
the pyramids of green and scarlet       

peppers1 but1           nevertheless1   
things seemed altogether different      
in ,mulberry ,bend to-day4 ,there was   
less noise1 the           hurdie-gurdies
 were not playing1 and groups of        
dark-haired women talked solemnly on the
 corners4            ,down in front of  
,no4 #bf there were many children       
looking into the window1 but1 unlike    
children of           the ,bend1 making 
no noise4 ,that's where the cause       
of all this change was4 ,for ,no4 #bf is
 ,charles           ,bacigalupo's chapel
 and undertaking rooms1 where           
for twenty-eight years the services for 
the           dead of the ,italian      
colony have been held2 and              
now--,bacigalupo himself is dead4       
,he was much more than an undertaker4   
,he was a           benefactor of the   
quarter1 a man with a motto of          
his own that he lived up to4 ,it hardly 
could be           called a business    
motto1 but ,bacigalupo always           
adhered to it in his business1 and it   

was that no           ,italian should be
 buried in the ,potter's ,field1 if     
he could help it4            ,a north of
 ,italy man and a devout ,catholic      
himself1           8,charlie10 as the   
colony called him1 never asked          
what a dead man's religion had been or  
whether he           was ,sicilian1     
,neapolitan1 or ,genoese4 ,the chapel   
was always open1 day and night1 and     
there was           always a hearse and 
at least one carriage ready             
whether there was anything to pay for   
them or not4            ,it was so in   
the beginning1 twenty-eight years ago1  
when ,bacigalupo1 who had come to the   
country when           he was thirteen1 
decided that he would no longer         
work for undertakers by day and black   
boots on           ,broadway in the     
evening1 but go into business for       
himself4            ,he had saved money 
enough then to buy a second-hand        
hearse and a dilapidated hack4 ,at the  
outset he           had to hire the     

horses1 and the only room in which      
he could do his work was the one room in
 which he           lived4              
,within a week after this start an      
,italian was           murdered on      
,mulberry ,street4 ,nobody knew him1 and
           the body1 after the coroner  
had got his routine                     
description of all the knife wounds for 
repetition           in court1 was to go
 to ,potter's ,field--after the         
usual custom4 ,but ,bacigalupo changed  
the custom so           far as ,mulberry
 ,bend was concerned4 ,there was a      
real funeral in his room for the unknown
 victim of           the stiletto1 and  
the man who could not afford to         
keep his own horses did all the work and
 paid all           the bills4          
,that was when the motto was adopted1   
and the           records at            
,bacigalupo's chapel today show that    
he has saved nearly a thousand          
8unknowns0 and           8unfortunates0 
from the ,potter's ,field4              

,most of them were ,italians1 but some  
were the more           unfortunate     
white girls of ,chinatown4              
,he prospered in spite of all this free 
service and           he has averaged   
three funerals a day for ten days4      
,from the one room his place developed  
into a whole           floor1 and for   
the living room in which services       
were held for that murdered ,italian    
twenty-eight           years ago1 there 
was substituted a fine chapel with      
altar fires and many pictures and       
tapestries1 which           ,bacigalupo 
brought from ,rome on his return from   
frequent visits to his home country4    
,but as gorgeous and elegant as the     
place became1 in           the eyes of  
the ,italian quarter1 it was still free 
for all who could not pay4              
,bacigalupo never talked about these    
things himself           when asked     
about his business life in the ,bend4   
,it           was his private business1 
the number of big black                 

hearses he sent1 free of charge1 for the
 laborers           who had died while  
out of work1 and the number of          
small white hearses with the angel      
figures on the           side which he  
had provided for the children whose     
parents were penniless4 ,neither would  
he talk about           the times he had
 paid other people's coal bills or      
put a stop to dispossession proceedings 
by paying           the rent of people  
whom he simply knew as ,italians4       
,and only his intimate associates knew  
that he owned           a half-acre in  
,greenwood ,cemetery and another big    
lot in ,calvary1 in which he put the    
bodies which           otherwise would  
have gone to the graveyard of the       
morgue's unknown4            ,all these 
things ,bacigalupo was remarkably       
reticent           about4 ,on the other 
hand1 there were some things            
that he liked to boast of4 ,he used to  
say1 for           instance1 that the   
proudest day in his life was            

that in which he drove1 himself1 the    
second coach           in ,gen4 ,grant's
 funeral4 ,he groomed his own horses    
for that procession4            ,and    
when ,meucci1 the ,italian patriot who  
came over           with ,garibaldi1    
died on ,staten ,island ,bacigalupo     
had charge of the big ,italian funeral  
service1 in           ,tammany ,hall1   
and it was the undertaker of ,mulberry  
,bend who prepared the revolutionist's  
body for           shipment to ,italy4  
,when ,king ,humbert was assassinated   
,bacigalupo had           charge of the 
memorial service in this city4 ,and     
now the most conspicuous pictures at the
 entrance           to the chapel are   
those of the dead ,king and of          
,president ,mc,kinley1 both nearly life 
size4            ,bacigalupo also took a
 little pardonable pride           in   
the fact that his establishment had     
grown to           include a big stable 
with #bej horses1 #aj hearses1          
and many coaches2 that he had the only  

automobile           hearse in town1 and
 that it was he who introduced          
the custom of having dirge-playing bands
 in the           funeral processions on
 the ,bend4            ,four years ago  
,bacigalupo went to ,rome to present    
to the ,pope #e1jjj which had been      
contributed by           the immigrants 
in the ,italian quarter1 and to the     
money he added as his own gift a        
wonderful jewelled           robe for   
his holiness4 ,the ,pope granted him an 
audience and gave him his picture and   
autograph1           which ,bacigalupo  
brought back to ,mulberry ,street4      
,then there was that wonderful ,chinese 
funeral           several years ago when
 the bones of nine ,chinamen            
were removed from a ,brooklyn cemetery  
and sent back           to the ancestral
 graveyards in ,china4 ,bacigalupo      
had that affair1 and it overtaxed even  
his stable           resources1 for     
there were #cjj coaches in the          
procession that wound through the       

streets of           ,chinatown1 all    
filled with ,chinamen1 while the rest   
of the ,mott and ,pell ,street colony   
walked behind           over the route  
laid out for them by the ,italian4      
,these were the things that the         
undertaker was           willing to talk
 about when he was asked what he        
had done in ,america4 ,but they are of  
secondary           importance on the   
,bend to-day4 ,it is the coal           
bills1 and helps with the rent in hard  
times1 and           the free funerals  
that everybody in the quarter1          
including the policemen on their beats  
and the one           black native from 
,abyssinia who speaks ,italian1 are     
talking about now that the crepe is on  
,bacigalupo's           own door4

even after his illness began members of

his bedside several times               
weekly for discussion of questions of   
editorial           policy4 ,at these   
conferences he dictated editorials      
and outlined ideas for cartoons and     
special news           articles4        
,although his physicians advised against
           this activity1 he reminded   
them that it was in the                 
building of the ,star he had been       
happiest4            ,a day or so before
 he became unconscious ,colonel

concern to him4 ,he made large gifts to 
local charitable institutions and was   
absorbed in           the work of a soup
 kitchen1 which his daughter1           
,mrs4 ,kirkwood1 inaugurated and        
conducted4            ,while no formal

possible1 the           ,star will be   
conducted in accordance with the aims

,although ,colonel ,nelson did not enter
 the newspaper           field until he 
was nearly #dj years old1 he brought    
to it such ability and energy that he   
built up one           of the greatest

to turn to newspaper work4 ,he bought an

 reunions1 or presenting some           

distinguished candidate for this or that
 honorary           degree on           
commencement day1 could trace his flow  
of           oratory back to its        
beginnings in the classroom1            
where1 as a student1 he used to hold    
forth in the           presence of old

and intellectual philosophy and         
literature4 ,nairne           had a way 
of holding impromptu debates in the     
classroom1 pitting one student against  
another4 ,but           it was in       
mathematics that ,van ,amringe excelled1

 generations of           ,columbia men4

brilliant head of red hair1 which in

also wore flowing moustaches1 and

 of ,columbia           ,college1 which 
he began as soon as he had become an    
alumnus himself4 ,the ,association was  
then more dead           than alive1 but
 through his efforts it has become      
the most flourishing and influential of 
all the           ,columbia alumni      
organizations4            ,the dean had 
few outside interests2 his life was     
devoted almost entirely to ,columbia1   
and the few           other activities  
in which he engaged were closely        
allied to his work at the ,college4 ,he 
was a member           of the ,american 
,mathematical ,society and of the       
,new ,york ,historical ,society1 and1 at
 one time1 was           president of   
the ,new ,york ,mathematical ,society4  
,he was also a fellow of the ,american  
,association           for the          

,advancement of ,science and a vestryman
 of           ,trinity ,church4 ,some   
years ago he edited a series            
of ,davies's mathematical works4        
,as prime mover in the organization of  
the ,columbia           ,university     
,club1 he was its first president1 and  
there never has been any other4         
,as an authority on matters relating to 
the history           of the ,university
 he was without an equal4 ,he           
wrote a 8,history of ,columbia          
,college10 and to the           volume  
known as 8,universities and ,their      
,sons0 he           contributed the     
,columbia section4            ,one of   
the things that endeared him most to    
,columbia men was his championship of   
football4 ,in           #aije1 after    
,columbia had been severely criticised  
for her football tactics1 and the       
faculty1 in a           historic        
meeting1 decided that the sport should  
be dropped1 the ,dean was the only      
friend the           undergraduates had4

 ,in that meeting he took           the 
stand of the undergraduates and         
earnestly           championed the game4
 ,after the close of the                
football season of #aijf more than two  
thousand           students stormed the 
,faculty ,club1 where the ,dean         
was at lunch1 and1 after singing his    
song1 demanded           that he make a 
speech to them on football4 ,they       
told him they wanted football1 and he   
said3 8,i know           that1 but you  
know ,i cannot give it to you4 ,you     
have behaved as ,i have always known you
 to behave1           with propriety and
 dignity1 and if you keep on            
there's no telling what you may get40   
,football will be played once more at   
,columbia this           year1 and more 
than one alumnus will regret that       
the venerable ,van ,am is not in the    
stands when the           opening game  
is played on ,south ,field4             
,at the time when ,columbia began to    
expand from a           college to a    

university of many departments1 the     
proposal to do away with the college    
altogether1           and to convert    
,columbia into a group of graduate      
schools1 was considered4 ,the idea      
8took0 with           some of the       
authorities1 and had it not been for    
vigorous opposition1 in which ,van ,am  
took a leading           part1 it is not
 unlikely that the change would have    
been made4            ,when it became   
known1 in the spring of #aiaj1 that     
the dean was to retire1 the students    
prepared a           petition to the    
faculty1 asking them to place him       
on the roll as dean emeritus4 ,the      
parchment was           afterward framed
 and hung in the ,trophy ,room4         
,at the dinner given by the ,columbia   
alumni to           celebrate ,dean ,van
 ,amringe's fiftieth year of            
connection with the ,university1 the    
presiding           officer read from   
,oliver ,wendell ,holmes's class-day    
poem1 and turned to the venerable dean  

as he quoted3              ,was it      
snowing1 ,i spoke of4 ,excuse the       
mistake6             ,look close--and

,,chapter ,x  ,,politics ,,and

 into one of the general classes of     
stories already considered4 ,party      
conventions1 campaign meetings1         
political speeches1 interviews with     
candidates and party managers1 for      
example1 are treated like similar       
material in other fields4 ,elections1 on
 the other hand1 require a different    
handling4 ,three common kinds of        
election stories are3 7#a7 an analysis  
of political conditions preceding an    
election with or without a forecast of  
the result1 7#b7 a description of       
election day conditions and events1 7#c7
 the results of the election4  ,although
 some newspapers are sufficiently       

independent in politics to treat        
political news without partisan bias1   
many papers still present such news from
 the point of view of their editorial   
policy4 ,there is a growing tendency1   
however1 to present both sides fairly in
 news columns and to confine            
partisanship to editorials4  ,election  
return stories consist largely of       
summaries of the most important results 
of the election1 such as3 7#a7 the      
candidates elected and defeated1 7#b7

,springfield ,republican                
,estimates as to the relative strength  
of the           three leading political
 parties are at variance1           but 

some of the best informed politicians   
are of           the opinion that the   
alignment this year will be             
vastly different from what it was last  
year4 ,local           political workers
 are of the opinion that the            
republican vote for governor in this    
section this           year will be much
 larger than it was last year4          
,this contention is made by prominent   
republicans           who have canvassed
 the western counties very              
carefully1 and who have done            
considerable campaign           work in 
this section4 ,their predictions are    
made           on the ground that the   
republican candidate last           year
 antagonized a large element in the     
party1 who           either voted for   
,gov ,walsh or for ,mr ,bird or did     
not vote at all4 ,the check lists in    
almost every           town and city in 
,western ,massachusetts1 with the       
exception of a few places in ,berkshire1
 showed that           the average      

republican vote last year was about #ge 
per cent of the normal vote of the      
party4            ,the leaders figure   
that ,mr ,mc,call will command a        
large percentage of the republican vote 
that was           lost last year4 ,they
 likewise figure that both              
,joseph ,walker and ,gov ,walsh will    
suffer serious           defections this
 year4 ,they believe that ,mr ,walker   
will not poll more than two-thirds of   
the vote           polled by ,mr ,bird  
last year4 ,they figure that ,gov       
,walsh will lose at least #e per cent of
 his vote           of last year4 ,if   
these predictions should come           
true1 they say that ,mr ,mc,call would  
profit by the           defections from 
the other candidates4 ,this would       
mean a close call for ,gov ,walsh and   
possibly his           defeat4          
,while the democrats and progressives   
express           confidence that their 
respective candidates will           be 
winners1 politicians who are not showing

 any           active interest in the   
campaign believe that           the     
contentions made by the republicans     
deserve           consideration4        
,figuring on the basis of last year's   
vote1 local republicans predict that    
,gov ,walsh           will be fortunate 
if he receives #age1jjj votes4          
,this would mean a loss of about #hjjj  
from his           vote of last year4   
,should the progressives poll           
#hj1jjj1 they would suffer a loss of    
about #dc1jjj           on the vote for 
governor4 ,these defections would       
probably go to ,mr ,mc,call1 who then   
would come very           close to      
defeating the democratic candidate4 ,the
           figures submitted are not    
impossible1 as the vote           last  
year indicates4 ,mr ,bird1 then         
candidate for           governor1 ran   
far ahead of the other candidates       
on the progressive ticket4 ,this in     
itself shows           that the true    
strength of the party was more          

nearly represented in the vote cast for 
the other           candidates on the   
ticket than for the candidate for       
governor4            ,western           
,massachusetts may not prove to be such 
a           tremendous factor in        
deciding the campaign this              
year1 but if the signs of the times are 
read           correctly1 ,mr ,mc,call  
will receive an unusually               
large vote throughout this section of   
the state4           ,it is quite       
probable that ,mr ,walker may command a 
sizeable vote1 but his strength is not  
apparent           now4 ,the injection  
of prohibition into the                 
progressive campaign is thought to have 
injured the           ,walker cause1 not
 because the average progressive        
is opposed to prohibition1 but because  
many of           them believe that the 
cause of prohibition should           be
 confined to the party that raised it as
 an           issue4 ,the enthusiasm    
which characterized the                 

progressive campaigns in the two years  
past is           noticeably absent this
 year4 ,try as the leaders              
will1 they cannot raise the excitement  
of former           years1 and this is  
not a healthy sign in the               
opinion of those who have followed      
politics closely4            ,the       
progressives1 however1 maintain that    
they have           not suffered any    
losses1 and they again predict a        
large vote this fall4 ,richard ,j4      
,talbot1 chairman           of the      
progressive city committee1 claims that 
one-third of the new registration will  
be found           voting with the      
progressives on election day4 ,mr       
,talbot likewise goes on record as      
predicting that           the contest   
for governor this year will be between  
,mr ,walsh and ,mr ,walker4 ,he believes
 that ,mr ,mc,call           will run   
third1 as ,mr ,gardner did last year4   
,the progressives and the democrats will
 follow           closely on the heels  

of the republican spellbinders          
who will invade the city ,monday

rally is planned for that evening when

the fact that the new modified          
,massachusetts ballot gave the voters   
little trouble           made ideal     
conditions yesterday for rapid voting4  
,voters began to crowd polling places   
within five           minutes after the 

polls opened at #f o'clock4 ,they       
voted in steady streams until #i        
o'clock1 when the           first lull  
set in1 and a tabulation of figures     
revealed the fact that nearly half the  
votes were           cast4              
,it was a record for early voting for   
any election           in recent years4 
,by noon #fe per cent4 of the           
total vote was in1 and at #d o'clock    
reports           indicated that the    
late afternoon rush would be            
inconsequential1 as #he per cent4 of the
 vote had           already been cast4  
,the total vote was recorded in         
several election districts more than an 
hour before           the polls were    
scheduled to be closed4                 
,trouble had been expected from the new 
ballots1 but           as voter after   
voter emerged from the voting booths    
within a minute after entering1 the     
watchers began           to gain        
confidence that the day would pass      
without           serious confusion4

that they           were splitting their
 tickets with much care4 ,in            
the downtown districts political parties
 set up           sample voting places  
as near to the polls as the             
law would allow4 ,with sample ballots   
and the aid           of instructors1   
they taught the voters who had not      
had the opportunity to familiarize      
themselves with           the new       
ballots earlier1 how to vote in the     
normal           amount of time4

 the most part1 although they           

challenged a few suspects4              
,one young man became very indignant and
 wanted           to fight when         
challenged4 ,he rushed into the         
office of ,supt4 of ,elections ,voorhis1
 denouncing           everybody in      
general connected with the election1    
and demanding that an escort be given to
 him to           see that he got his   
legal chance to vote4 ,he was           
asked where he voted last year and he   
said in ,new           ,jersey1

here           a year since that time4  
,supt4 ,voorhis with a smile            
informed the young man that the election

 that if he swore in his vote this

contenders4            ,while it lasted

asked for information on three points

can't do much under the present system4

that we will           make a living3   
,we run the cabs for a week and take    
#bj per cent4 of the fares4 ,out of this

gasolene at fifteen cents a gallon1     
besides laying aside a clothing         
allowance and           buying his

 with the unionists1 and in             
some of the houses the tie-up           
practically was           complete4     
,boys and girls employed in the canning

had offered to arbitrate the            
differences with the union1 and did not 
believe           that the men would    
obey a strike order4 ,there has         
been no trouble in the industry for the 
last six           years1 and the       
merchants were inclined to believe      
that the entire controversy would be    
adjusted at a           conference held 
yesterday morning4 ,they found the      
union representatives firm in their     
demands for a           fifty-four-hour 
week all the year4            ,the      
merchants offered to grant a ,saturday  
half-holiday for eight months1 but      
insisted that           while the fall  
rush was on in ,september1 ,october1    
,november and ,december the men would   
have to work           full time4 ,this 
was met by a proposition that they      
be paid time and one-half for the       
overtime on           ,saturday         
afternoons1 but the merchants declared  
that would be an increase in wages which
 trade           conditions did not     

warrant4            ,immediately after  
the negotiations were broken            
off the union officials hurried from one
 house           to another and called  
out the men in most of the              
houses4 ,a few of the older employes    
stuck to their           posts1 but the

think our position is eminently fair4   

,we made them as good a proposition as  
we believed           the business would
 stand1 and when that was not           
acceptable to them we offered to submit 
the entire           matter of wages and
 hours to arbitration4 ,they told       
us they had tried arbitration once and  
did not want           any more of it4  
,i cannot say how long the strike       
will last or how extensive it may be1   
but so far           as this firm is    
concerned1 we are always ready to       
meet our employes4 ,i don't see1        
however1 that a           conference    
will do any good at this time1 as the   
strike will have to run its course40    
,alex ,gilchrist1 business agent of the 
,wholesale           ,grocery ,employes'
 ,union1 declared that the demands      
of the men were conservative and that   
the offer to           arbitrate was    
made too late in the negotiations to    
be taken up4            8,the merchants 
have had our demands before them for    
a month10 said ,mr4 ,gilchrist1 8and    

they offered           us nothing until 
the last moment1 when they knew         
we would strike4 ,they are trying to    
break up our           organization1 and
 the men think that they might as       
well fight it out now4 ,if the trade is 
so heavy           during the fall      
months that they cannot grant us        
a half-holiday it is all the more reason
 why they           should pay us       
overtime for ,saturday afternoons       
during those months4 ,our men believe   
that they           cannot get anything 
without fighting for it1 and            
that is what we have decided to do40    
,the ,freight ,handlers' ,council will

,a sympathetic strike in some of the    
railroad           freighthouses is said
 to be probable unless the

within the mill gates1 he returned to

than of           grievances4 ,the      
trouble this morning was caused by      

some excitable youngsters1 whose actions
 can hardly           be controlled by  
any one40            ,against this

of one of the addresses in ,italian that
 aroused           the crowd at the     
afternoon mass meeting4 ,it was         
translated into ,english and given out

,there was no dissent1 although         
many of the operatives said they had    
expected the           strike to last   
much longer4 ,no vote was taken         
at the meeting on the matter of formally
 ending           the strike4 ,archie   
,adamson1 who presided1 said            
afterward that the usual vote was       
dispensed with           because it was 
feared some of the hotter heads         
among the strikers might insist upon    
remaining out1           and thus create

 a serious           crimp into traffic1

their own drift-bucking1 though the old

perfectly respectable old gentleman went
           the 8zip-bang60 route1 as the
 sporting writers           would have  
it1 and startled passers-by with dark   
blue language when he spied his shiny   
,easter hat           whiff hastily     
across the street and cave in against   
an adamant store front4 ,on a busy      
corner at the           evening rush

word4 ,the manager of the

that4           ,drifts filled the

left on their hands last night1

,june has carried off the year's honors 
in weather           record-breaking1   
with the cold winds of last night       
and to-day4 ,at six o'clock this morning
 the ,weather           ,bureau's       
thermometer registered #dh degrees4     
,since           #ahga1 when the        
tabulations of the ,weather ,bureau     
began1 no such temperature has been     
noted after           ,june #i4 ,there  
have been one or two days of chillier   
weather in past ,junes1 with #de degrees
 as the           record for low        
temperature1 but none of these have     
come so late in the month4              
,new ,yorkers who woke up in the cold   
,june dawn           and went groping   
into bottoms of trunks for the          
blankets of ,january may take some      
malicious           pleasure in the fact
 that it was colder in some             
places in the ,state4 ,the most         
uncomfortable           community in    
,new ,york appears to have been ,camden1
           in the north1 near the ,st4  

,lawrence1 where the           mercury  
slid down to #cf degrees4 ,rochester was
           in little better condition1  
with a frigid summer           morning's
 air at #dj degrees1 and ,syracuse      
shivered           over its cereal and  
cream in a hardly more cheerful         
atmosphere at #db degrees4 ,a           
prevailing1 if not           popular1   
temperature in many places was #dd

,vermont1 ,northfield           was     
delighting in a temperature of #dj      
degrees4            ,the explanation of 
all these rare days in ,june            
for those who are not content with      
knowing that           it is too cold   
for comfort at this time of year1       
is that there has been an area of high  
barometric           pressure hovering  
around the ,canadian ,northwest         
recently1 and that it has been moving   
eastward and           down over a part 

of the ,united ,states on its way       
out to sea4 ,everywhere it has been     
accompanied by           drops in       
temperature of from #ad to #bj degrees1 
so that ,new ,york is no worse off than 
any other           ,state4 ,yesterday  
this area was over northern             
,minnesota1 and last night it was over  
,lake ,huron4           ,it is still    
with us in ,new ,york1 and is likely to 
be with us to-night1 the weather experts
 say1 so           that housewives may  
as well keep their blankets on          
the beds1 now that they are out4 ,just  
how far the           thermometer may   
drop to-night cannot be predicted4      
,the weather man thinks there may be    
frost in the           country districts
 to-night4            ,a serious side to
 the prospect of frost is the           
danger of damage to fruit trees and     
gardens4           ,last night1         
fortunately1 frosts were prevented by   
the rain which fell early in the night  
and which           left the trees and  

crops safe as the sky cleared           
later4 ,tonight1 however1 different     
conditions are           to be faced and
 farmers will have to protect their     
produce as far as they can4 ,there were 
damaging           frosts on one or two 
of the cold nights of last              
week4            ,so far there has been 
an interesting weather           contest

on its #bfth and #bgth that             
had been recorded for that month in #cd 
years1           with temperatures of   
#hi and #ia degrees4 ,june has          
outclassed ,may and made it impossible  
for any other           month to better 
her record1 by outdoing all known       
feats4 ,with to-morrow1 ,june #ba1 the  
summer solstice           and the       
longest day of the year1 the official   
beginning of the supposedly hot season  
is expected           to usher in a     
period of normally settled weather4

caused           the death of two men   
yesterday and injury to many

was stored1 and between it and the bins

these were storehouses and

the ,amity           ,street ,station

point twenty feet above           the   
sidewalk4            ,john ,snackenberg1
 an ,inspector in the ,building         
,department1 said that grain stored in  
the building           might have       
exploded by spontaneous combustion or   
the accumulation of years which had     
dropped between           the bins and  
the outer wall might have swollen and   
forced the brick wall out4 ,he would not
 say that           either of these     
things had happened1 however1 and       
it was generally believed that the wind

piece of copper           about fifty

one of these1 twenty-five feet          
long1 and blew it across the street to  
the roof of           a tenement at #aif
 ,court ,street1 where it smashed       

through the skylight and put the tenants
 in a           panic1 though none was  
hurt4 ,the second strip1 only           
partly detached1 blew to and fro like   
the pendulum           of a huge clock1 
occasionally knocking pieces of         
slate into the street as it banged      
against the           spire4 ,the police
 blocked off the corner with red        
lanterns and prevented pedestrians or   
vehicles from           passing4

 was taken with the #dj-;foot           
photoheliograph installed at the        
observatory4 ,all           other       
official observations were made by      

equatorial           telescopes4 ,the   
day was fine for observations4          
,the image of the sun was very steady at
 the first           contact1 but       
somewhat less steady at the last40      
,the photoheliograph is a photographic  
camera1 forty           feet long1      
mounted horizontally4 ,within two feet  
of           the front end of the       
forty-foot tube 7or bellows1            
to borrow a photographical term7 is the 
telescope           lens4 ,two feet in  
front of it is a wedge-shaped           
piece of unsilvered glass1 called the   
mirror4 ,this           mirror receives 
the sun's rays direct1 diverts the      
major portion of the light1 and reflects
 the small           remainder upon the 
lens1 which in turn imprints the        
image upon the sensitive plate at the   
near end of           the tube4         
,this near end--earth end1 it might be  
called--is           inserted in one    
wall of a square1 dark room1 within     
which the photographer stands4 ,a       

vertical slit1           one-sixteenth  
of an inch wide1 in the near end        
of the tube1 admits the light from the  
lens4 ,at           the precise moment  
the photographer1 by a quick1           
strong pull on a lever1 shoots the      
sensitive           plate across this   
slit1 thereby accomplishing an          
8exposure0 of about one one-hundredth of
 a second           in duration4 ,in    
that infinitesimal fraction of time     
the desired image of the eclipse is--and
 yesterday           was--imprinted upon
 the photographer's plate4              
,in case of a total eclipse the         
operation is           different4 ,on   
account of the complete obscuration     
of the luminary by the moon1 a time     
exposure of           about two minutes 
is required1 and to achieve this        
a clock mechanism turns the camera tube 
so as to           keep the heavenly    
object always centered on the           
lens4            ,the diameter of the   
sun is #hjj1jjj miles4 ,the             

diameter of the moon is #d1jjj miles4   
,but the sun           is #ib1ejj1jjj   
miles away from the earth1 and the      
moon is only #bd1jjj miles away4 ,so1   
upon the ocular           principle that
 the nearer an object is the bigger     
it looks1 the moon1 when it passed      
between the sun           and the earth 
yesterday1 had an apparent diameter     
as great as the actual diameter of the  
sun4 ,that           is why1 when there 
is a total eclipse1 the moon            
is big enough1 looked at from the earth1
 to all           but completely hide   
the sun1 though the sun is #bjj         
times as large as the moon4 ,otherwise  
there could           not be such a     
thing as a total eclipse4            ,so
 yesterday in ,florida and ,mexico1     
where the           eclipse was central1
 at the moment of the maximum           
eclipse all that the people could see of
 the sun           was a brilliant ring 
around the circumference of             
the moon1 like a molten circlet4        

,,chapter ,,xiii  ,,sports   ,interest  
in sports4 ,one of the marked           
characteristics of ,american newspapers 
is the large amount of space1 both      
absolutely and relatively1 that they    
devote in every issue to news of sports4
 ,although there is undoubtedly a       
healthy interest in athletic contests on
 the part of many readers1 newspapers   
have greatly stimulated this interest   
and have created a considerable part of 
the present demand for sporting news and
 gossip4 ,hundreds of thousands of      
newspaper readers who have never seen a 
major league baseball game follow day by
 day the doings of the various teams and
 players1 not merely during the playing 
season but throughout the greater part  
of the year4 ,newspapers have also      
assisted in developing intercollegiate  
football from a game in which students  
and alumni were primarily interested    
into a sport of big spectacular contests
 that attract the general public4 ,even 
after prize fighting was barred in most 

states1 newspapers1 by the space given  
to the contestants for months before    
every fight1 were able to maintain      
wide-spread interest in the results4 ,in
 order to furnish readers with a very   
large amount of reading matter          
concerning both major and minor sports1 
most papers have a special staff of     
sports writers under the direction of   
the sporting editor4  ,type of story4   
,sporting news stories may be divided   
into three classes3 7#a7 those that deal
 with the contestants and the conditions
 before the event1 7#b7 those that      
report the contest itself1 and 7#c7     
those that analyze the event and its    
results4 ,stories that discuss the      
relative merits of the contestants and  
forecast the results of the game are    
based on first hand observations of the 
writer or on the observations of others1
 regarding the showing made by the      
contestants in previous events and in   
practice4 ,the general and the detailed 
accounts of a contest can1 of course1 be

 written only by writers who have       
witnessed it4 ,the analysis of the event
 and of its results may be based either 
on the reporter's own observations of   
the contest or on the reports of it     
printed in newspapers4 ,in covering a   
big sporting event1 a newspaper         
frequently assigns two men to report it1
 one to write a general account and one 
a detailed story4 ,it is evident that   
all sporting news stories can best be   
written by men who are thoroughly       
familiar with the sport itself and with 
the contestants4  ,purpose4 ,the general
 aim of sporting news stories should be 
to satisfy a normal1 healthy interest in
 legitimate sports4 ,that newspapers    
have stimulated an excessive interest in
 professional baseball and              
intercollegiate football1 as well as in 
prize fights1 is a criticism deserving  
careful consideration4 ,the evil effects
 on schoolboy athletes1 and even on some
 college players1 of undue newspaper    
publicity have been pointed out by      

educators and should also be considered 
by the sports writer4 ,accuracy and     
fairness are as vital to news stories of
 sports as to any other news stories4   
,although the interest that readers have
 in local contestants may warrant a     
writer in devoting considerable space to
 them1 it does not justify him in       
slighting or treating unfairly their    
opponents in whom the readers have less 
interest4 ,the spirit of fair play that 
is essential to sport is equally        
necessary to reports of sporting events4
  ,treatment4 ,the handling of sporting 
news presents several problems4 ,the    
review of conditions preceding the      
contest and the analysis of the game and
 its results require careful            
observation1 clear thinking1 and a good 
expository style4 ,in some respects this
 kind of interpretation is not unlike   
editorial and critical writing4 ,the    
account of the event itself demands     
spirited narrative and description that 
portrays not only the scenes but the    

spirit of the occasion4 ,the contrast   
between the emotions of the victors and 
those of the vanquished may be used to  
good advantage4 ,because of the popular 
interest in individual players1 many    
events give ample opportunity for       
developing the personal1 or human       
interest1 elements4 ,the term 8heroes0  
as often applied to athletes is not     
inappropriate1 for it is the heroic     
qualities of the contestants that appeal
 to the spectators and the followers of 
the sport4  ,style is also an important 
element in sporting news stories4 ,the  
very popularity of a subject that       
demands much writing on the same or     
similar material day by day necessitates
 variety of presentation4 ,efforts to   
avoid constant repetition in reporting  
baseball games have resulted in some    
picturesque diction and some original   
figures of speech in the stories of the 
clever few1 and in much more cheap humor
 and almost unintelligible jargon in the
 work of their mediocre imitators4 ,that

 readable stories can be written in good
 ,english with as much originality of   
style as is to be found in other well   
written news stories1 has been          
repeatedly demonstrated by a number of  
writers on sports4            99

coaches were well pleased           with
 the scrimmage work of the men4 ,in the 
freshman           contest the ,varsity 
went over for a touchdown in

for another tally4 ,tackling was        
practiced1 and every man was given the

,this department of the game will be    
drilled into           the head of every

 man1 and before the season is far      
advanced there should be a vast         
improvement in the           tackling of

with heavy clouds drifting              
across1 sunlight with a glint of steel  
in it1 and           air with a tang1   
were the weather conditions which       
added zest to the spirit with which     
,cambridge           greeted the day of 
her big game of the season1 the         
contest for gridiron supremacy between  
the ,harvard           and ,princeton   
football elevens4 ,the game with ,yale  
will be played two weeks hence at ,new  
,haven1 and           as a consequence  
,nassau takes ,eli's place in the       
,cantabrigian scheme of things4         
,enthusiasm is keen both here and in    
,boston2 for           since the        
,crimson and ,orange and ,black resumed 
football relations in #aiaa1 after a    
lapse of           fifteen years1       
interest in this annual struggle has    
increased in the public mind1 as in the 

estimation           of adherents of the
 rival universities1 until now          
it has taken a place among the gridiron 
classics of           the year4         
,the fact that of all the important     
university           elevens ,harvard   
and ,princeton are the only two that    
have not met defeat this season is taken
 into           account as emphasizing  
the importance of the game1             
there being something of a supplemental 
thrill in           the probability that
 by five o'clock this afternoon         
the record of two unbeaten elevens will 
be reduced           to one4            
,a striking note about ,cambridge to-day
 is the           absence of ,crimson   
banners in the hands of ,harvard        
enthusiasts4 ,red flags are barred under
 the           law1 and the ,socialists 
have insisted upon the                  
enforcement of the ordinance4 ,no one is
 permitted           to carry the colors
 of fair ,harvard1 under pain           
of arrest1 and1 while there was a       

tendency on the           part of       
certain indignant students and alumni to
           make a test of the law which1
 by the way1 was           aimed at     
anarchists and militant ,socialists1 the
           ,harvard authorities deemed  
it unwise thus to force           the   
issue4 ,so a formal request was issued  
by the           management that        
,harvard's arterial red be not borne    
to-day4 ,this is said to apply1 also1 to
 arm-bands           and to             
handkerchiefs1 which will defeat the    
ancient           ,harvard custom of the
 ,cambridge cheering section            
forming a red-and-white ,h4 ,an attempt 
will be           made to have the law  
amended1 so as to exempt the            
,university from its provisions1 which  
afflict           ,harvard so grievously
 at present4            ,the whole thing
 is ridiculous1 absurd2 but the law     
stands1 and it has to be obeyed4 ,in the
 meantime           there appears to be 
no objection to red carnations          

and ,american beauty roses1 nor even to 
red neckties           or hosiery4 ,just
 the same1 the ,harvard stands are      
likely to be more sombre this afternoon 
than is           usual when big games  
are played in the stadium4              
,there is no ban1 however1 upon the     
orange and the           black1 and so1 
,princetonians1 of whom there will      
be several thousands inside the gray    
walls of the           arena on the     
,river ,charles1 may be as garish as    
they please4            ,cambridge was  
overlaid with gold to-day1 not the      
gold of ,old ,nassau1 but nature's      
purest sunlight4           ,it rested on
 old buildings of the yard1 flooded     
the streets1 and tipped the tiny        
wavelets of the           ,charles with 
silver4 ,no day better qualified for    
football at its best ever smiled upon   
this old           university seat4 ,on 
the inspiring breeze was borne          
the odor of burnt leaves and of wood    
smoke2 the           call of the great  

out of doors was too potent for         
even the most dry-as-dust professor to  
resist4            ,every one was out   
early2 every one was talking            
football4 ,concrete point to the        
excitement           developed shortly  
after noon when the graduates and       
students began to assemble for their    
parade through           the ,university
 and thence to the field4 ,the alumni   
representing classes as far back as the 
sixties1           and coming down to   
the class of #aiac1 met in front        
of ,university ,hall1 the seniors in    
front of ,weld1           the juniors at
 ,grays1 the sophomores at ,matthews1   
and the freshmen at ,massachusetts4 ,the
 procession           was scheduled to  
start at one o'clock1 headed by         
a band1 which was to lead the way about 
the yard1           and finally after a 
season of cheering both for the         
various classes and the ,university and 
the football           eleven1 the route
 led out of the ,johnson ,gate and      

so to the ,stadium4            ,the     
,harvard team passed the night in       
seclusion at           the ,brookline   
,country ,club--so1 as a ,harvard wag   
put it1 they would not be forced to hear
 even the           faintest echoes of  
the ,harvard-,princeton ,glee ,club     
8massacre0 in ,memorial ,hall4 ,the     
,tigers rested far           from the   
heart of turmoil1 out at the ,woodland  
,park           ,hotel in ,auburndale4  
,in the meantime1 the ,princeton        
supporters1 who had not the necessity of
 keeping           strict training1     
disported themselves in various         
agreeable ways at the ,copley ,plaza1   
while ,harvard           men1 staying up
 late1 were to be found everywhere4     
,neither team physically is in just the 
condition           that the coaches    
would like to have it4 ,not that        
they are overtrained at all1 but various
 important           cogs in either     
machine have suffered in the remote     
or recent past from sprains and pulled  

tendons1           which1 while healed1 
may recur at the most                   
inopportune moment4 ,for ,princeton1    
,glick1 ,talbott           and ,ed4     
,trenkman are liable in this respect1   
while           ,mahan and ,pennock of  
the ,harvard eleven are in the          
same boat4 ,wallace1 the ,harvard       
centre1 will not           enter the    
lineup because of slow recovery from    
a blow in the head received in the game 
against           ,michigan4 ,thus      
,bigelow will have to play in his       
place1 and this is regarded as weakening
 the           ,crimson centre to some  
extent4 ,highley and ,shea              
will start as ends for ,princeton4      
,managers of both           elevens     
express themselves as delighted with the
           condition of the gridiron1   
and are pleased1 also1           with   
the assurances of the weatherwise that  
by           afternoon the wind will be 
a negligible quantity4           ,the

,the ,yale football team defeated       
,princeton's eleven           yesterday 
afternoon1 #ai to #ad1 in a game which1 
for           thrilling climax1 rivaled 
modern stage craft at its               
best4 ,beaten back and scored upon with 

apparent           ease during the first
 three periods of play1 the             
,tigers tore loose with a smashing      
attack in the           final #ae       
minutes of the game and fairly riddled  
,eli's line4 ,twice the orange and black
 swept           across the blue goal   
line and the ,princeton men             
were fighting desperately for the third 
touchdown1           which would have   
given them victory1 when the            
timer's call ended ,princeton's chances 
and ,yale's           apprehensions4    
,no similar situation has developed in  
the           annual game between these 
two university teams           in many  
years1 and with its thrilling moments   
of spectacular play and gripping        
uncertainty1           the contest      
formed a most fitting dedication of     
,princeton's new ,palmer memorial       
stadium4            ,the setting for the
 ,tigers' dying rally of the            
season of #aiad was as perfect as if the
 final           scenes had been planned

 weeks in advance4 ,forty               
thousand spectators from all points of  
the compass           invaded           
,princeton1 bearing the flags and       
emblems           of the rival          
institutions4 ,the weather man's gift   
to the day's contest was perfect weather
 overhead           and a turf          
unsurpassed for football4 ,the great    
gray horseshoe with its innumerable     
tiers of seats           was filled1    
with the exception of the curve at the  
north end4 ,with a warm sun and an      
almost entire           absence of wind1
 heavy wraps were unnecessary1 yet      
down on the green turf of the gridiron  
shaded by           the high walls of   
the stadium the players fought          
out the struggle to the end without     
suffering the           inconvenience   
usually experienced by combatants on    
an ,indian summer day4                  
,during three-quarters of the game there
 was nothing           to indicate the  
sensational climax with which the       

,princeton team was to mark its first   
game against           ,yale in its new 
football arena4 ,forced to take         
the defensive from the very beginning of
 play1           the ,tigers showed     
little defensive strength at            
any time1 and the blue combination      
scored in each           quarter4       
,the contest opened with an exchange of 
punts1           intermingled with the  
efforts of the rival                    
quarterbacks to ascertain the strength  
and           weaknesses of their       
opponents4 ,princeton soon found        
that she could make no progress either  
through           the line or around the
 ends1 and punted at every              
opportunity4 ,yale opened with an       
assortment of           stabbing line   
plunges and knife-like dives just       
outside of tackle4 ,the progress1       
however1 was           not rapid1 and   
the ,elis soon fell back on their       
mixture of forward and rugby passing4   
,the initial           score came when1 

having secured the ball well in         
,princeton's territory1 ,wilson took his
 center's           pass and1 after a   
short run along the left side           
of ,princeton's line1 passed the ball   
back to ,le           ,gore4 ,the       
powerful ,yale fullback in turn ran a   
short distance and made a beautiful     
forward pass to           ,ainsworth1   
who had rushed up-field1 and the latter 
ran more than #bj yards for a touchdown1
 from which           ,le ,gore failed  
to kick goal4            ,similar       
tactics were pursued in the second      
period1           when ,yale1 with short
 gains by line plunges and              
overhead passes1 reached a point inside 
the ,tigers'           final five-yard  
mark4 ,here ,princeton held firmly      
and the blue was obliged to seek the    
aerial route           for scoring1 ,le 
,gore making a short pass over the      
line to ,brann1 who touched down the    
ball1 whereupon           ,le ,gore     
added an additional point by a goal     

following the punt out4                 
,scarcely had the third period opened   
when a           #dj-yard forward pass1 
,le ,gore to ,brann1 gave ,yale         
the ball inside ,princeton's #bj-yard   
mark4 ,six           rushes1 in which   
,scovil1 ,wilson and ,le ,gore worked   
alternately1 put the ball across the    
line for           ,yale's third and    
final touchdown4 ,le ,gore failed       
to kick the goal1 and with a #ai-point  
lead ,coach           ,hinkey of ,yale  
began to send in his substitutes4       
,for a few minutes the ,eli second      
string of players           held the    
,tigers safe1 but with the opening of   
the           final quarter ,princeton's
 jungle men took heart           and    
made a savage and maintained attack on  
,yale's           substitutes with the  
result that in less than #ae            
minutes they had rolled up #ad points   
and were           threatening to snatch
 victory from the blue when             
time expired4            ,the orange and

 black team played like a new           
combination after the final minute of   
rest1           opening up a rushing    
game which swept the blues'             
substitutes off their feet4 ,three1 five
 and eight           yards at a clip1   
,princeton's juggernaut rolled up       
the field until ,moore1 on a zigzag     
#af-yard run           which twice      
carried him through the ,yale line and  
secondary defense1 went over for the    
touchdown           from which ,law     
kicked goal4 ,following the kick-off    
came an exchange of punts and then the  
,tigers cut           loose again1      
ramming holes through the ,eli forwards 
and sweeping around the end1 aided by   
close           interference until      
,glick plowed his way through the       
blue combination for a second touchdown 
and ,law           kicked goal4         
,hinkey was by this time rushing back   
his 'varsity           players into line
 and backfield1 but the ,tiger1         
once he tasted ,yale blood1 was not to  

be frightened           away4 ,with less
 than five minutes of playing           
time remaining1 ,princeton started its  
rush for a           third touchdown4   
,capt ,talbott urged his players        
frantically to make a last stand1 and   
the ,elis           responded nobly4    
,princeton found its gains cut          
down from yards to feet and resorted to 
forward           passes1 hoping to gain
 overhead the ground denied             
them by straight football tactics4      
,forward pass           after forward   
pass was flung far up the field1        
to be grounded or blocked by the blues' 
alert           backfield until1 when   
the timer's whistle ended the           
struggle1 ,princeton was holding the    
ball not far           from midfield4   
,aside from this surprising flash of    
offensive           strength in the last
 quarter1 ,princeton was as             
completely outplayed by ,yale as by     
,harvard a           week ago4 ,the wide
 open attack in which the blue          

backfield passed the ball from player to
 player           in runs around the end
 and then suddenly switched           to
 long forward passes1 appeared to       
bewilder and           dazzle the ,tiger
 line and secondary defense just as     
much as the crimson's close formation   
and concealed           ball offense4   
,the jungle team appeared to have little
 if any plan           of campaign1     
punting frequently upon the first or    
second down with the apparent idea that 
the ends           would recover the    
ball following a ,yale fumble4 ,in      
this respect the ,elis refused to be    
accommodating1           ,le ,gore and  
,wilson handling ,driggs's and ,law's   
drives cleanly and frequently running   
the ball back           from #aj to #ae 
yards before being downed4              
,princeton was outdistanced in these    
kicking duels1           ,le ,gore      
gaining steadily on each exchange of    
punts           with ,driggs4 ,when     
these gains had driven the ,tigers      

well into their own territory ,yale     
struck viciously           and1 with a  
bewildering attack1 quickly carried the 
ball over for a score4 ,from a defensive
 standpoint           the ,yale         
first-string team was never in danger   
from ,princeton's attack1 and it was not
 until the           second and         
third-string substitutes went in that   
the orange and black football machine   
could make           consistent         
progress4            ,the statistics of 
play bear out the superiority of        
the ,yale team4 ,yale gained #bih yards 
by rushing           to ,princeton's    
#ade and made #ae first downs to the    
,tigers' #aa4 ,yale essayed seven       
forward passes to           ,princeton's
 #aj1 gaining #fi yards to ,princeton's 
#j4           ,yale punted #bg times to 
,princeton's #dj and showed           an
 average gain of close to four yards in 
each           exchange of punts4       
,penalties were numerous throughout the 
four           periods1 ,yale losing #hj

 yards in eight setbacks           to   
,princeton's #fj in seven infringements 
of the           rules4 ,yale made three
 fumbles to ,princeton's           one1 
recovering one to ,princeton's two4     
,including           the original       
line-up1 substitutions and              
re-substitutions1 #eg players took part 
in the game1           which is in all  
probability a record for a contest      
of the caliber of the ,yale-,princeton  
match4            ,while in all-around  
team work ,yale outshone                
,princeton1 the ,tigers uncovered       
several players who           from an   
individual standpoint held their own    
with           the ,eli stars4 ,capt4   
,ballin was1 as usual1 a tower          
of strength4 ,e4 ,trenkmann also played 
a splendid           game1 both these   
men frequently penetrating the          
blue backfield and stopping rushes or   
going down           field under kicks  
on a line with their ends4              
,gennert's passing was at times ragged1 

but he was           hurried by the     
concerted charging of his opponents4    
,in the last quarter ,dickerman and     
,glick showed           remarkable      
ability in line plunging and end runs1  
frequently carrying several ,yale       
tacklers from one           to three    
yards before they were finally swept    
from           their feet4              
,for ,yale1 ,le ,gore and ,scovil were  
the stars from an           offensive   
standpoint4 ,when carrying the ball they
           kept their feet1 following   
interference or finding           holes 
in the line with remarkable skill4 ,le  
,gore           also figured prominently
 in the forward passing1           his  
long spiral heaves to ,brann and        
,ainsworth           at times reaching  
the proportions of a kick4              
,quarterback ,wilson handled his team   
cleverly and           selected plays   
with splendid judgment4            ,in  
the line ,capt4 ,talbott played a game  
which           proved that he has fully

 recovered from his           injuries  
and will give the ,harvard men plenty of
           work next week at ,new ,haven
 in the closing game of           the

 graduate who did not feel the          
impulse to stand in his place and       
uncover silently           to a little  
knot of athletes in blue gathered to    
give their bulldog bark of victory at   
the close           of a bitterly fought
 struggle with ,princeton in            
the ,bowl on ,saturday1 that graduate   
had lost the           edge of a certain
 fine spirit which the sons of          
,eli are supposed to take with them out 
into the           world4 ,from their   
seats the undergraduates stormed        
on to the field1 gyrating in their      
uncontained           exuberance1       
cheering1 shouting1 writhing in the     
intricacies of the snake dance4 ,and    
they did well1           these ebullient
 undergrads--precisely what they        

should have done2 but to the thinking   
,yale men           whose remoteness    
from their student days has seen        
year piled on year1 there must have come
 deeper           emotions which made1  
shall we say1 for reverence1            
rather than for the casting off of      
mental1 not to           say physical1  
restraint4 ,for the ,yale eleven did a  
memorable thing on ,saturday4 ,through  
sheer spirit1           through         
indomitable determination1 through utter
           willingness to give the final
 measure of physical                    
sacrifice1 those men of ,yale lifted    
from the muck           a bedraggled1   
bedaubed blue banner1 holding it        
on high so that it floated and snapped  
proudly           once more1 glorified  
by the light of victory4 ,it            
was fine4 ,it meant more1 that          
victory--stood for           more--than 
the mere winning of a football game4    
,it went deep into the roots of         
extra-curricular           endeavor and 

gave that sanction for intercollegiate  
contest which does not always appear4   
,the elements           that won that   
game against a powerful1 spirited       
rival are elements that not even the    
most dryasdust           pedant1 wedded 
to the scholastic cloister1 can         
talk down4 ,and it is good for ,yale or 
any other           university1 to have 
these developed upon the field          
of competitive athletics as in other    
departments           of college life1  
essential and subsidiary4 ,in the       
matter of ,saturday's game1 this applies
 as much to           those who1 filled 
with foreboding1 assembled none         
the less thousands upon thousands to    
cheer and sing           for ,yale1 as  
to the players4            8,i don't    
know that we can hold ,princeton10 said 
a ,yale coach a few hours before the    
contest4           8,privately1 ,i don't
 think we can4 ,but you may count       
upon this3 not a man of ,yale will yield
 to-day           until he is carried   

from the field40            ,that was   
the spirit that won for ,yale1 the      
spirit           that won against an    
eleven better equipped to play          
finished football1 against an outfit    
which gained           two yards to     
,yale's one1 which made twelve first    
downs to ,yale's four4            99    
99       99            ,if the ,tigers  
had not matched the best fighting       
qualities of ,princeton spirit against  
the best that           ,yale spirit    
stands for the lustre of ,yale's feat   
would not have been so bright--would    
have lost           much of its         
significance4 ,but that grim1 undying   
quality1 win or lose1 that ,princeton   
partisans look           for and expect 
was not lacking in the ,orange and      
,black4 ,the contest was fought out to  
the end1 with           the enormous    
throng standing spellbound1 cheers      
and inarticulate cries muffled in their 
throats1           watching the balance 
of victory as it inclined this          

way and that4 ,the contest had not the  
technical           excellence of some  
big games we have seen--from            
this standpoint the ,harvard-,princeton 
game was           superior--but in its 
spectacular characteristics1            
in its sequence of thrills1 in its      
swift1 shuttling           changes1 it  
stood out by itself4            99      
99       99            ,in ,princeton   
,yale defeated an eleven which          
possessed a stronger and more varied    
attack1           with a defence which  
could keep the ,blue from               
rushing the ball into what may be termed
 promising           touchdown          
territory4 ,in all that the term implies
           the ,tigers had a machine    
which was superior to the               
,yale machine1 inasmuch as it had the   
power not           only to gain in     
midfield1 but to cross the chalk        
marks4 ,the ,tigers made one touchdown  
by clean           rushing and forward  
passing1 and had a break not            

occurred at the supreme moment1 her     
rushing prowess           in the last   
quarter would have been rewarded by     
another touchdown4 ,further ,glick's    
generalship           was execrable upon
 many occasions4 ,in the first          
quarter ,wilson dropped a long booming  
punt from           ,driggs1 and        
,highley1 picking it up on the bound1   
was tackled one stride short of getting 
clear for a           touchdown4 ,the   
ball was on ,yale's thirty-yard line4   
,now1 instead of going outside tackle1  
,princeton           essayed a series of
 centre bucks with quarter and          
halves1 which every ,princeton scout    
must have told           ,glick could   
not succeed against ,yale4 ,thus the    
downs were exhausted4 ,guernsey punted  
weakly from           his twenty-yard   
line1 giving ,princeton the ball on     
,yale's twenty-seven-yard mark1 where   
instead of           going off tackle or
 around the end ,princeton tried        
two line plunges and then threw the ball

 away by           a forward pass over  
the goal line1 the same being           
translated automatically into a         
touchback for           ,yale4          
,thereafter1 throughout the game1       
,princeton           turned time and    
again to centre plunges1 usually        
unsuccessfully1 whereas not many of her 
sweeps           around the ,yale wings 
failed to gain materially4              
,they say her gains in this way were    
sporadic1           but this was only   
because the play was attempted          
sporadically4 ,nassau's off-tackle plays
 and delayed           passes gained a  
great deal of ground and put ,yale      
in danger more than once2 yet usually a 
down or           two were used up on   
centre bucks1 when ,princeton           
should have known she was wasting her   
strength4           ,where ,yale was    
vastly superior to ,princeton was in    
following the ball and in holding it4   
99       99       99            ,yale's 
first goal was clean and untarnished4   

,guernsey kicked it from the            
fifty-three-yard           line1 and it 
was as fine an effort as ,i have ever   
seen4 ,the ball struck the cross bar and
 toppled           over4 ,but ,yale's   
second field goal was a direct          
gift from ,princeton4 ,brown was sent in
 to relieve           ,highley and      
committed the gross and inexcusable     
error of speaking to ,capt4 ,glick      
before reporting           to the       
referee4 ,the referee promptly and      
justly           set ,princeton back    
fifteen yards to her own                
twenty-eight yard line4 ,after two      
rushes had failed           to gain1    
,yale did the obvious thing2 she sent   
,guernsey back to kick a field goal4    
,this he did4           ,princeton then 
fell to work and rushed the ball        
downfield to the ,yale goal line1 where 
the ball           was held directly on 
the final chalk-mark before           it
 was finally pushed an inch or two over2
 it was           a splendid piece of   

grim defence by ,yale1 but the          
ball was too close4 ,thus the half      
ended4 ,the half           was          
characterized by a piece of roughness on
 the           part of a ,princeton man 
who hurled himself upon a               
prostrate ,yale receiver of a forward   
pass after he           had been downed4
 ,princeton was justly penalized        
for undue roughness1 as she was in the  
last period           when a            
,princetonian roughed a ,yale player in 
a play           which ended out of     
bounds4 ,such incidents leave a         
bad taste in the mouth4 ,it was done in 
the heat of           a hot game1 and no
 injury resulted because of no          
real design to injure1 but that is no   
excuse4            99       99       99 
,the second half assumed a blue tinge   
almost           immediately when       
,tibbott dropped a long spiral          
from ,guernsey and ,way picked up the   
ball and           ran for a touchdown4 
,the remainder of the third             

period was characterized by one or two  
well-worked           forward passes and
 some goodly gains off tackle by        
,princeton1 with ,yale on the defensive 
satisfied           as matters stood4   
,the fourth period saw ,princeton       
hungry for a score1 playing like        
all-possessed1           with ,yale     
conducting herself cautiously1 and      
always seeking to get ,guernsey in a    
position to           drop a field goal4
 ,but the ,elis--who were not           
able to make a first down in this       
half--would           not have got      
sufficiently near to ,princeton's       
goal to try a kick for score had not    
,dickerman           dropped a ,yale    
punt on his eighteen-yard line1         
,yale recovering4 ,the ,blue could not  
gain1 but           profited by         
,dickerman's fumble to the extent of    
giving ,guernsey a chance for a         
dropkick4 ,he made           the goal   
cleanly1 but it did not count because of
           holding on the part of ,yale2

 the holding may or           may not   
have affected the success of the kick1  
but           rules are rules1 and the  
holding was obvious even           to   
some of the spectators4 ,a few minutes  
later           ,princeton1 with ,moore 
in the lineup1 took advantage           
of a weak punt against the wind by      
,guernsey and           unleashed an    
irresistible attack1 which started      
from ,yale's thirty-two-yard line4      
,end-runs and           off-tackle      
plays1 with a forward pass to spread    
,yale's defence1 took the ball to ,eli's
 seven-yard           line4 ,here was   
what the ,princeton adherents had       
been looking for2 the multitude of      
sixty-odd           thousand became so  
quiet that the quarterback's            
signals echoed and rechoed throughout   
the immense           amphitheatre4 ,an 
assault at the line was killed for      
a loss4 ,then1 with the ,yale defence   
packed closely           to the left1   
,glick took the ball and gave it to     

,dickerman4 ,the ,yale defence dashed   
straight in4 ,the           fleet-footed
 ,moore1 sprinting to the right1 was    
completely clear4 ,dickerman threw the  
ball to him           laterally4 ,it was
 not a perfect throw1 but it was        
within reach of the fast-running ,moore1
 who1 with a           clean catch1     
could have walked over the goal-line4   
,but it glanced from his fingers4 ,he   
still had time           to pick it up  
on the bound and score2 the oval hit    
his knee and bounded over the side-line1
 in touch4           ,right there waned 
and flickered ,princeton's last         
hope1 a hope valiantly essayed1 a hope  
which died           at the moment when 
it was being translated into a          
flaming reality4 ,the contest ended a   
few minutes           later4 ,in justice
 to ,moore it may be said that          
,dickerman's toss might have been better
 done4 ,it           came too swift1 too
 much in a line1 still1 the             
throw might have been spoiled had it    

gone too           slowly4            99
       99       99            ,where    
,yale shone1 wherein she has hope to    
make           trouble for ,harvard1 is 
in her punting and                      
drop-kicking1 her down field ability and
 sharp           tackling of her team2  
the close1 unerring following           
of the ball and the splendid spirit of  
the players           individually1 and 
as a whole4 ,her wing defence and       
defence off tackle must improve between 
now and           next ,saturday1       
probably will4 ,her forward-passing     
game is not dangerous1 and she launches 
a driving           attack from her     
,minnesota shift formation better       
qualified for midfield gains than for   
gains inside           her opponent's   
thirty-five-yard line4 ,perhaps she     
can work up her off-tackle slashes so   
that they           will carry farther  
than they did against ,princeton1       
but if she can repeatedly get ,guernsey 
anywhere           from ,harvard's      

forty-yard line on she may not need     
touchdowns in order to win4 ,for        
,guernsey is a toe           artist of  
real stature4 ,as to the ,yale players  
individually it is impossible to speak1 
because not           being numbered1   
the various men were identified         
only by word of mouth and word of mouth 
is usually           inaccurate and     
misleading4 ,guernsey1 of course1       
was recognized because he did the       
punting1 and ,way           was known   
because he was prominent as a baseball  
pitcher and1 besides1 wore no head      
guard4 ,but as           to the exact   
identity of most of the rest ,i have    
no notion upon which ,i may rely4 ,one  
of the ,yale           halfbacks played 
a slashing game offensively1 and        
the entire backfield shone in returning 
punts and           kickoffs4 ,the three
 centre men were impregnable1           
but the tackles and ends worked         
inconsistently           on off-tackle  
plays and end runs4 ,harvard may        

take some unction in the fact that ,yale
 can still           be fooled by an    
elusive attack4 ,yale's basket          
formation for forward-pass defence1 four
 men           back1 was well           
conceived--it was patterned after       
the ,harvard defence--but her normal    
defensive           arrangement of      
backs1 three abreast1 twelve yards      
back1 is open to grave criticism4 ,she  
got her shift           into action in  
good style1 and the backs started       
quickly4 ,she lacks long-gain plays4    
99       99       99            ,john   
,rush has not the slightest cause for   
being           disheartened over the   
results of his first           season's 
work4 ,he gave to ,princeton the first  
offensive team she has had since #ahii1 
a team which           made a splendid  
reputation up to her big games1         
both of which1 as a matter of fact1     
might have been           won under     
different circumstances4 ,rush          
constructed           an engine1 a      

strong1 impressive engine1 several      
parts of which snapped under high       
tension in the           course of the  
two supreme tests4 ,in no way can ,rush 
be charged with the loss of either game4
 ,in both1           failures came      
through manual errors on the part of    
individuals1 and these no coach can     
prevent4 ,vide           ,haughton and  
the ,harvard-,cornell game4 ,princeton  
in ,rush has a rare jewel1 who has made 
good           convincingly4

,,murnane4            ,the fourth game  
of the important series with the        
,detroit ,tigers at ,fenway ,park was a 
clean-cut           victory for the     
,boston team by a score of #b to #a4    
,it was a great pitchers' battle between

 ,coveleskie1           the left-hander1
 and ,ernie ,shore1 and the ,boston     
man won out by outstaying the ,tiger    
pitcher4            ,it was the second  
time that ,coveleskie has worked        
in the series here1 while ,boston       
presented ,shore           for the first
 time1 although he proved by far the    
strongest boxman the club had to tame   
the ,tigers           with4             
,the visitors started off in a savage   
manner on the           ,boston pitcher1
 scoring their only run on three        
singles in succession4 ,after that      
,shore seemed           to find himself1
 and with the assistance of some        
clever throwing to second by ,forrest   
,cady and grand                         
ground-covering by the ,boston outfield1
 as well as           smooth work around
 the infield1 ,shore prevented the      
,tigers from making the rounds of the   
bases after           the first inning4 
,the ,boston run that tied the score in 
the second           was a gift by ,owen

 ,bush1 who made a wild throw to        
first on ,barry's grounder1 and the     
winning run was           scored in the 
seventh inning on a single by ,lewis    
and a double by ,barry1 ,crawford       
allowing the ball           to pass him 
while making a great try for a low      
drive4            ,the intense rivalry  
between the two teams1 although         
subdued1 was visible in many ways2 and  
yet the game           went off         
smoothly1 as most games do when umpired 
by           ,billy ,evans1 and the     
large crowd was delighted with          
its afternoon's outing4            99

,it was ,rockland ,day at ,fenway ,park 
and fully #ajjj           fans were     
present from that energetic town4       
,before           the game they marched 
around the field to the music           
of a band2 then they were ushered into  
the right           wing of the         
grandstand1 where they had a delightful 
afternoon1 rooting for the ,red ,sox and

 punctuating           their applause   
with the bass drum4            ,as      
,rockland is a town where ,president    
,lannin           spent many of his     
boyhood days1 he was especially         
delighted to see such a splendid        
gathering4 ,a           beautiful gold  
watch and chain were presented to       
the ,red ,sox president4                
,there was also a large delegation of   
,boston waiters           present as    
,president ,lannin's guests1 and still  
another large delegation will be out    
today4 ,as the           waiters could  
not all leave business at once1 they    
split up their calls between two games4 
,the attendance given out1 #aa1cae1 did 
not include           the fans from     
,rockland or the waiters from ,boston4  
,the day was dark and cloudy1 and before
 three           innings were over a    
light sprinkling of rain caused         
the fans in the bleachers to make for   
the covered           pavilions1 where  
they were allowed to go4 ,there was     

quite a heavy sprinkle again in the     
fifth inning1           but the game    
went on1 with a strong1 cold wind       
blowing across the field4            ,so
 intensely interesting was the game that
 the fans           sat as if glued to  
their seats until the last man          
went out1 when a good1 stiff shout went 
up for the           ,speed ,boys1 and  
the ,tigers walked off the field        
sore to the quick and in the worst kind 
of humor           for fan talk4

center on the first ball4               
,crawford singled over second1 scoring  
,bush4 ,veach           was thrown out  
at first1 and ,burns was disposed       
of by ,janvrin1 ,boston getting out of a
 very bad           corner4 ,the ,red   
,sox went out in order on three weak    
infield flies4            ,in the second
 ,young was safe at first on a wild     
throw by ,cady4 ,baker hit to ,janvrin1 

who refused to           toss the ball  
to ,barry1 but instead ran to second1   
touched the bag and threw wild to first4
 ,no damage           was done1 however1
 as ,coveleskie flied to left and       
,vitt was thrown out at first4          
,gainor was hit by a pitched ball and   
sacrificed to           second by       
,lewis4 ,gardner struck out4 ,barry hit 
a           ball to short that ,bush    
took well back of the line           and
 threw short to first1 the ball bounding
 over           ,burns' shoulder and    
allowing ,gainor to score the           
tying run4            ,bush opened the  
third with a single4 ,cobb smashed      
a liner to center that ,speaker made a  
great catch           of4 ,then         
,crawford and ,veach sent high flies to 
the           outfield4 ,boston could   
make no headway against the             
,tiger pitcher4            ,in the      
fourth inning both teams went out in    
order4           ,gainor1 having reached
 first1 was doubled up on               

,lewis' grounder to the pitcher4        
,in the fifth1 with two down1 ,bush was 
given a base           hit when ,janvrin
 failed to get a ball that came to      
him on a merry bound4 ,cobb got in a    
scratch single1           and with big  
,sam ,crawford up it was a trying moment
           until he sent a long fly that
 ,speaker pulled down4            ,with 
two down in this inning1 ,cady dropped  
one in           right field for two    
bases1 to see ,shore thrown out         
at first4            ,the ,tigers went  
out in order in the sixth4 ,young1      
drawing a pass1 was nailed when he tried
 for           second1 as ,cady was in  
fine throwing form4 ,janvrin            
was hit by a pitched ball1 but never    
left first4            ,with two down in
 the seventh1 ,vitt singled and         
tried for second1 but again ,cady's     
throw was           perfect4            
,lewis led off with a single to center4 
,gardner was           patient and got  
,coveleskie in for three balls4 ,then   

came two strikes and ,larry was forced  
to hit1 ,young           handling his   
fast grounder in fine style4 ,barry hit 
a low liner to right that ,crawford made
 a great try           for1 the ball    
hitting the ground and rolling past     
him1 ,lewis scoring what proved to be   
the winning           run4              
,it was now up to the ,red ,sox to hold 
their           advantage and keep the  
,tigers from scoring4 ,bush1 a          
hard man to get1 was called out on      
strikes1 ,shore           displaying    
remarkably clever form at this stage    
of the game4 ,cobb was forced to hit1 as
 ,shore was           putting the ball  
over the center of the pen4 ,ty         
missed twice and then hit a sharp       
grounder that           ,janvrin played 
to first4 ,crawford sent one to         
,hooper and things brightened for the   
home team4            99       99       
99       99       99            ,in the 
ninth ,veach smashed a line fly to right
 that           ,hooper timed to a      

nicety while playing very deep          
and pulled down after a sharp run4      
,burns smashed           the first ball 
to the bank in left center for two      
bases1 and the ,tigers got busy on the  
coaching           lines and in the     
dugout1 cheering like wild men for      
a hit4            ,kavanagh was sent in 
to bat for ,young1 and drew a           
pass1 as ,shore would not take a chance 
to groove a           ball for this     
slugger4 ,mc,kee went to bat for ,baker 
and was thrown out by ,shore4           
,with men at third and second1 where a  
hit would           more than likely win
 the game for the ,tigers1 ,dubuc       
was sent in to bat for ,coveleskie1 with
 two down1           and he smashed away
 at the first ball dished up1           
driving the leather to left center1     
where ,speaker           pulled it down 
after a sharp run1 and the game was     
over4            ,the best fielding     
features were furnished by ,bush1       
who displayed remarkable ability in     

covering           ground1 really making
 hard plays easy by his                 
phenomenally quick starts4 ,hooper and  
,speaker1 as           well as ,barry   
and ,cady1 did some sharp fielding for  
the ,red ,sox4            ,but to ,shore
 belongs about #ge per cent of the glory
           for winning the game1 for    
after the first inning he               
settled down and was steady as well as  
effective4           ,he was given what 
belonged to him by ,umpire ,evans1      
and was not forced to suffer as the     
other ,boston           pitchers were1

week to start           the long        
training for the ,spring races and for  
the           intercollegiate regatta on
 the ,hudson in ,june4           ,jim   
,rice1 coach of the ,blue and ,white    
navy1 will           order the men to   
the rowing machines on the opening      
day of college following the ,christmas 
recess1           for practice until the
 end of the examinations                

following the first term4 ,daily work on
 the           machines will then be    
ordered1 and the crew men           will
 not have any further let-up in their   
training4            ,rice is confronted
 with a difficult task this             
season in finding the material to build 
up a           winning crew to match the
 eight which swept the           ,hudson
 last ,june and won the intercollegiate 
championship of ,america4 ,only three   
men of this           crew have returned
 to college4 ,a new stroke must be      
developed1 and practically an entirely  
new eight           built up1 from the  
junior squad of last season4            
,those who have seen ,coach ,rice whip  
together crews           will not1      
however1 be discouraged at this time4   
,in           years past ,coach ,rice   
has started out the season              
with an untrained and comparatively     
small squad of           oarsmen and has
 startled college circles with a        
wonderful eight1 ready by the time the  

,spring races           rolled around4  
,it is fair to assume that a similar    
feat will be performed this year4       
,an example of ,coach ,rice's ability in
 this respect           was furnished   
last season in the building up of       
a junior ',varsity eight4 ,with the     
exception of           ,robinson1 the   
oarsmen from the two freshmen eights    
of #aiae and #aiaf1 both of which       
finished last in           the freshmen 
races at ,poughkeepsie1 were whipped    
into shape as the junior eight and      
finished           second against all   
the other colleges in the               
intercollegiate regatta4            ,it 
is on these eight men1 with the three   
men left           over from the        
',varsity eight and a couple of         
freshmen of last season1 that ,coach    
,rice will have           to depend for 
this year's ',varsity eight4 ,the most  
telling loss this season is the         
graduation of ,c4 ,f4                   
,mc,carthy1 who stroked the winning     

eight1 and ,capt4           ,irving     
,hadsell1 who rowed at ,no4 #g1 two of  
the           best and gamest oarsmen   
who ever sat in a ,columbia             
shell4 ,steddiford ,pitt is another     
splendid blade           who is lost to 
the crew this year1 and the strength    
and fight found in ,rothwell are hard to
 spare4            ,the three men who   
must serve as the nucleus for           
this year's eight are ,bratton1 who     
rowed at ,no4 #f2           ,sanborn1   
who rowed at ,no4 #d1 and ,naumer1 who  
rowed           at bow4 ,bratton was one
 of the strongest men in           the  
eight1 weighing #ahj pounds1 and there  
is no           question but that ,coach
 ,rice will place him back           in 
the waist of the shell this season4     
,naumer is           a good oarsman1 and
 obtained his seat at bow last          
season purely on his merits1 as         
evidenced after a           long tryout 
against ,cronenberg for the position4   
,it is highly probable that ,naumer will

 be moved           further down in the 
boat this year1 and that                
,cronenberg will get his place at bow4  
,much speculation centres about the     
selection of           stroke of the    
eight4 ,ex-,capt4 8,irv40 ,hadsell      
predicts that ,frank ,mc,carthy will    
find a way to           get back in his 
old position this ,spring1 but          
positive denials by ,mc,carthy seem to  
indicate           otherwise4 ,the two  
logical men for the position as         
pacemaker of the eight are ,myers1 who  
stroked the           junior boat last  
season1 and ,sanborn1 who stroked       
the #aiae freshmen crew1 rowed at ,no4  
#b in the           ',varsity four of   
#aiac1 and held down the place at       
,no4 #d in the ',varsity of #aiad4      
,the student body is faced with the task
 of raising           #b1gjj to take    
care of the crew debt contracted in     
#aiac-ad4 ,a few of the alumni have been
 supporting           the crew with     
large donations1 and at present they    

hold notes for the above amount4        
,recently1 however1           an appeal 
was sent out to the undergraduates to   
help bear the burden1 and their response
 has been           quick and loyal4    
,the ,greek letter fraternities at      
,columbia have come           forward   
with #ejj1 and the undergraduates prior 
to           leaving for the holidays   
pledged an equal amount4                
,further efforts will be made when the  
students           return1 and it is    
confidently expected about the          
campus that a good share of the         
indebtedness will           be paid off 
within a few months4            99

with           previous victories over

,states for #aiae4            ,that     
,yale deserves the victories which she  
won over           the ,crimson ,friday 
is certain4 ,the ,eli varsity           
captured one of the biggest victories   
over the           ,harvard varsity when
 she won by about five lengths          

in the record time of #bjm4 #ebs41 that 
the ,blue           has registered      
against the ,crimson in many years4     
,the race was rowed upstream1 which     
makes the time           a new record1  
and it is stated by those who have      
followed rowing on the ,thames for many 
years1 that           had the race been 
rowed down stream ,yale would           
probably have broken the record of #bjm4
 #ajs4 for           the course4 ,it is 
also interesting to note that the       
,harvard varsity was inside of the old  
record for           the upstream       
course4            ,yale owes her       
victory to the coaching of ,guy         
,nickalls1 the famous ,english college  
oarsman4 ,it           was the second   
year that ,nickalls had coached the     
,yale varsity and both years he has     
turned out crews           which have   
defeated the ,crimson4            ,yale 
took the lead at the very start of the  
varsity           race and was never    
caught by ,harvard4 ,rowing a           

lower stroke almost the entire distance1
 ,yale kept           drawing away from 
the ,crimson oarsmen and1 despite       
the fact that ,stroke ,lund succeeded in
 getting his           crew to raise the
 stroke to as high as #cd beats to      
the minute over the last part of the    
race1 ,yale1           rowing a much    
lower and easier stroke1 was able to    
increase its lead4            ,while the
 ,harvard crew appeared to be a smoother
           rowing eight than ,yale's it 
did not move through           the water
 nearly as well4 ,there was a           
perceptible           drag to the       
,harvard varsity between strokes1 while 
the ,yale eight went evenly and showed  
very little           if any slowing up 
between the strokes4 ,at all times      
the ,harvard crew appeared to be better 
together1           but it did not make 
as good use of the slides as            
the ,yale eight4 ,the rigging did not   
appear to fit           the ,harvard    
oarsmen to the best advantage4          

,yale won the freshman race by about a  
length and           a half4 ,this race 
was a very unsatisfactory one4          
,the event was to have been rowed in the
 morning1           but was postponed   
until after the varsity race4           
,it did not start until about #g3cj in  
the evening4           ,after the race  
had been under way a few minutes        
the ,harvard stroke caught a crab and   
the crews           were stopped4 ,it   
was then agreed to start again          
and row a mile and a half instead of the
 customary           two miles4 ,yale   
finally won this race although          
the ,crimson oarsmen made the contest   
much closer           than the varsity  
race4 ,yale's time was #hm4 #fs4 and    
,harvard #hm4 #ajs4            ,the race
 for second varsity eights was the      
hardest           fought of the day and 
the ,yale victory in #aim4 #djs4        
opened a very successful day for ,yale4

 where the match is being               
played4 ,the national amateur champion  
led by one           up at the end of   
the morning play1 after a round         
in which the margin at no time was more 
than two           holes4 ,they play the
 final eighteen holes this              
afternoon1 and considerably more of a   
gallery is           expected than      
witnessed the play in the morning4      
,as a general thing ,mr4 ,ouimet plays  
the ,woodland           course around   

#gc to #ge in his matches1 but this     
morning he kept out of the #hj class    
only by a           single stroke4 ,mr4 
,tewksbury had one bad hole1 the        
thirteenth1 so that his medal was #hb4  
,the pair           halved one hole in  
#g1 which is decidedly unusual          
for them1 and another in #f4            
,the first hole went to ,mr4 ,ouimet on 
the strength           of an            
exceptionally fine putt1 where he faced 
a           stymie and had to slice     
around his opponent's ball           to 
get down in #d4 ,luck was with the      
champion at the           second1 where 
his topped approach rolled through a    
bunker onto the green about ten feet    
past the hole1           whence he ran  
it down for a #c and became #b up4      
,neither reached the third green in #b1 
against the           wind1 and they    
halved in #e1 as was the case also at   
the fourth4 ,mr4 ,ouimet required       
another #e at the           fifth1      
failing to get on from the tee1 and then

           taking three putts4 ,he lost 
that hole and also the           sixth1 
where he drove into the woods4 ,this    
squared           the match4            
,after a succession of four #es1 which  
in itself is           decidedly unusual
 for the champion1 he managed to        
get back to normal with a #d at the     
seventh1 which           won it2 he then
 played such an accurate approach       
at the eighth that he holed the putt for
 a #c and           became #b up once   
more4 ,he pulled one out of bounds      
at the ninth1 which cost him the hole   
and left him           #a up at the     
turn4            ,they halved the tenth 
in par #c4 ,mr4 ,tewksbury's            
superior play netted him a #d at the    
eleventh1           which squared the   
match again4 ,there was something       
spectacular at the twelfth1 where ,mr4  
,tewksbury hit           the cup on an  
approach shot from the embankment       
above the green and stopped near enough 
to get down           his putt for a #d4

 ,mr4 ,ouimet was off the green         
also on his second1 but approached close
 enough to           sink his putt for  
the half4 ,the thirteenth was a         
nightmare to ,mr4 ,tewksbury1 who played
 about four           shots and then    
gave up the hole4 ,he had a chance to   
square the match at the fourteenth1     
where a long           drive and equally
 fine second put him within seven       
feet of the hole1 but it was a difficult
 putt and           he missed his #c4   
,the #fjj-yard fifteenth hole was a     
stiff           proposition1 owing to   
the strong wind1 and neither            
player got home in #c4 ,then1 singularly
 enough1 they           took three putts
 apiece for a half in #g4 ,that was     
in decided contrast to the play at the  
sixteenth1           which they halved  
in #c4 ,to the other long hole1         
the seventeenth1 ,mr4 ,ouimet was hole  
high1 but a           number of yards   
below the green in #b4 ,his short       
approach was much too strong and he     

failed to get           his fourth dead 
or to hole his putt for a #e4 ,mr4      
,tewksbury1 who was little better       
situated in #c than           ,mr4      
,ouimet in #b1 finally had a putt of    
four feet           to win the hole4 ,he
 missed it1 and they halved in          
#f4 ,then they halved the home hole in  
#c4 ,it was a           striking        
finish--to halve four successive holes

,,miscellaneous ,,local ,,news   ,type  
of story4 ,although most local events   
have been included in the various       
classes of stories discussed in         
preceding chapters1 there remain several
 forms of city news that require        
separate consideration4 ,much           
interesting1 timely information is to be
 found in schools1 public libraries1    
museums1 parks1 and various departments 
of city government4 ,as activities      
supported by public money1 these        
institutions should be of interest to   
every citizen4 ,real estate1 building1  
manufacturing1 and business matters also
 furnish news of considerable interest  
and importance4 ,besides this           
information1 there are many little      
incidents in the daily life of every    
city that have no significance as news  
but that can be written up as           
entertaining stories4 ,hotels1 railroad 
stations1 docks1 and street cars are    
frequently the scenes of little comedies

 and tragedies that the reporter with   
keen insight into human life and with   
ability to portray them1 turns into     
readable sketches4 ,animals no less than
 persons may be the central figures in  
these stories4  ,purpose4 ,the aim in   
one class of these local stories is to  
furnish timely1 significant information 
in attractive form concerning public    
institutions and business activities4   
,the purpose of the other class is to   
entertain the reader with little        
glimpses of the life of the city4       
,constructive journalism undertakes to  
stimulate the interest of every citizen 
in municipal affairs and in public      
institutions by putting prominently     
before him from time to time significant
 information about them4  ,the utmost   
accuracy in presenting information of   
public affairs and business matters1 it 
is needless to say1 is absolutely       
essential4 ,it is important to maintain 
the same standard of truthfulness in    
writing entertaining feature stories1   

not because their contents are of vital 
importance1 but because a newspaper1 in 
order to command the confidence of its  
readers1 cannot present anything in its 
news columns that is not true4          
,fictitious details are no more         
justifiable in feature stories than in  
news stories4  ,treatment4 ,in order to 
interest the average reader in news of  
various municipal activities it is      
necessary to make the stories attractive
 in form and style4 ,striking facts and 
figures or unusual statements1 featured 
at the beginning1 catch the reader's eye
 and lead him to read the story as long 
as its subject matter and style interest
 him4 ,effective use of statistics and  
comparisons is shown in the story

stories that begin with unusual         
statements are those entitled 8,school  
for ,backward ,children10 p4 #bce1 and

#bdc4  ,since there is practically no   
news interest in entertaining feature   

stories1 the reader's attention is      
attracted and held by the way in which  
the story is told4 ,narrative and       
descriptive beginnings1 conversation1   
suspense1 humor and other devices used  
in short stories and novels are well    
adapted to these news stories4

,protective           ,association of   
,chicago4 ,a resume of the report was   
printed in ,the ,star of ,june #aj4 ,in 
that article the           statement was
 made by one authority that the menace  
of the feeble minded was even more grave
 than a           foreign war or a      
native pestilence4            8,kansas  
,city is sixteen years behind the times 
in taking up this problem10 continued   

,doctor           ,mathias4 8,boston was
 the first city to provide              
special training for its backward and   
feeble minded           children4 ,other
 cities have followed suit and          
,kansas ,city must do the same4 ,if     
numerous surveys           in other     
cities have revealed a ratio of one     
feeble           minded person to every 
#bej it is reasonable to                
suppose that a like condition exists in 
,kansas ,city4            8,most of the 
backward children in the schools are    
retarded by some physical defect or     
taint of feeble           mindedness4 ,a
 very small number of the mental        
defectives ought to be in institutions4 
,but the           largest per cent of  
the retarded children could be          
saved by being given special training in
 separate           classes4            
8,the entire problem of the feeble      
minded is even           more serious4  
,little can be done with the adults1    
except to place them in institutions4   

,yet much can           be done with the
 present generation by directing        
the minds of the mental defectives into 
useful           channels so that they  
will not become a burden on             
the community and a menace to society40 
,the board of education is considering  
the problem           and probably will 
start next fall in a small way          
with a separate class room and expert   
teachers4            99       99

,reading is to be given especial        
attention in the           public       
schools of ,boston again this winter in 
the           hope that next ,june will 
see the finest lot of           readers 
the schools of the city have ever       
produced4            ,five points are to
 be especially observed3 #a4            
,correct pronunciation of words at an   
acceptable           rate of speed2 #b4 
,expression of the meaning of what      

is read2 #c4 ,distinct reading2 #d4     
,pleasing use of           the voice2   
#e4 ,ability to get the meaning of what 
is           read silently4             
,silent reading ability is to be made a 
point of           special attention1 as
 it calls for the application           
of the child's mind to definite         
reasoning1 which           will in turn 
develop his mental powers4              
,in a circular now being sent out to    
masters           of elementary         
districts by the assistant              
superintendent in charge1 ,mrs4 ,ellor  
,carlisle           ,ripley1 and        
approved by ,superintendent ,dyer1 they 
are requested to repeat this year the   
general plan           pursued last year
 for increasing the interest in         
oral reading4 ,they are then asked to   
devise ways           and means of      
increasing the child's power to get     
ideas from paragraphs read silently4    
,the result is           expected to be 
two fold--to make more intelligent      

and pleasing oral reading1 and to       
develop in           children a fondness
 for reading when it is done            
without the companionship of others4    
,as last year there are to be reading   
contests4 ,on           two occasions in
 the course of this school year         
in all grades above the third the       
children will           hear1 in their  
school hall or some other selected      
place1 readers from their respective    
rooms4 ,these           readers are to  
be selected by means that will tend     
to improve the reading of all the       
pupils4            ,it is desired that  
the first series of readings            
will be concluded by ,dec4 #bc of this  
year1 and that           the second     
series be held during the week beginning
           ,march #bg next4             
,no centralized arrangement will be made
 this year           for sending trained
 readers to the schools1 but as         
all colleges of reading have expressed  
themselves           as very ready to   

co-operate with the schools1 it is      
believed the masters can secure readers 
at desired           times4             
,inter-district readings will begin     
,april #be and           continue to    
,june #a4 ,each school is requested to  
send one reader and one alternate reader
 to the           inter-district reading
 assigned to his school4 ,at            
these readings each child will be       
allowed three           minutes for     
reading a familiar section supplied by  
his school4 ,sight reading will also be 
furnished           and brief tests of  
silent reading will be made4

,york ,globe            ,the medical    
inspection of the public school

 the           local school board of

and ,waverly avenue4 ,the members of the

 board have           been 8keeping     
tabs0 on the doctors sent to the        
schools by the ,board of ,health4 ,they 
have found           little uniformity  
in the work1 some visits lasting        
only a few minutes1 and others a whole  
afternoon1           while anywhere from
 nine to thirty pupils have been        
examined4            ,as a result of the
 investigation1 the local board         
has submitted a report to the ,board of 
,education           suggesting that a  
more definite method of                 
examination be required of the visiting 
physicians4           ,the board states 
that it 8found that there is no         
uniformity in their methods1 except that
 they call           daily at the       
schools assigned to them4 ,the calls    
vary from five minutes to one and a half
 hours1 and           the number of     
children examined from one or two       
or none1 to twenty or thirty per day4   
,some of the           physicians visit 
the classrooms1 and others see          

only the children who are reported by   
the teachers           as needing       
attention40            ,this is the     
second criticism of the medical         
inspection received by the ,board of    
,education this           summer1 the   
first coming from the ,principals'      
,association of the ,city of ,new ,york1
 which           forwarded resolutions  
to the effect 8that the                 
medical supervision of our schools is   
incomplete           and generally      
unsatisfactory40            ,while there
 is no marked indication of such an     
outcome at the present time1 it would   
not be at           all surprising if an
 attempt were made by certain           
of the members of the ,board of         
,education to induce           the board
 to take steps to take over the control 
of           the medical inspection by  
establishing a department           of  
school hygiene4 ,this has been advocated
 by ,city           ,superintendent     
,maxwell and by ,dr4 ,luther ,h4        

,gulick1           director of physical 
training4 ,while not as yet             
approved by the ,board of ,education1   
the proposition           is under      
consideration by the ,charter ,revision 
,commission4            ,the recent     
criticisms of medical school inspection 
bear out those published by ,dr4        
,maxwell in his           latest annual 
report1 in which he declared that       
8existing physical examinations made by 
the           ,department of ,health are
 generally inadequate1 and              
even when they are adequate are not     
followed by the           desired       
results40 ,in support of this statement 
,dr4           ,maxwell quoted from     
principals' reports to show             
that in only #bdh schools--less than    
half the total           number--were   
any examinations made for physical      
defects--as distinguished from          
examinations to           detect        
contagious disease4 ,in these #bdh      
schools not           more than         

one-third of the pupils were examined4  
,it is only a few months since any      
examinations for           physical     
defects were made outside of the        
boroughs           of ,manhattan and the
 ,bronx1 and then only because          
of the criticisms emanating from the    
,new ,york           committee of       
physical welfare of school children4

thirty-seven years' history of the      
,milwaukee public library we have never 
been able           to trace a single   
case of contagious disease to a         
library book that had been passed from a
 home in           which the disease    
existed to one hitherto free40

,milwaukee public library1 to           
,dr4 ,john ,dill ,robertson1 health     
commissioner of           ,chicago1 who 
has expressed the belief that library   

books are a medium for spreading such   
diseases           as grippe1 sore      
throat1 measles1 whooping cough1        
small pox1 diphtheria1 scarlet fever1   
tuberculosis           and erysipelas4  
,dr4 ,robertson has sent a letter to    
,librarian ,henry ,e4 ,legler of the    
,chicago public           library asking
 co-operation in an effort to stamp     
out any danger of spreading diseases in 
this way4            ,according to ,mr4 
,cargill every possible effort is       
made by the ,milwaukee library to       
prevent the spread           of disease4
 ,in this the officials co-operate with 
the ,milwaukee health department4 ,daily
 lists of           the homes in which  
contagious disease is found             
are furnished to the library1 and books 
that are           returned from such   
homes are fumigated in a large          
vault at the main library4 ,when a      
health inspector           visits a home
 in which there is contagious disease1  
one of his first questions is whether or

 not there           are library books4 
,if such books are found the            
cards identifying them are removed by   
the inspector           and mailed to   
the library1 according to ,mr4          
,cargill4 ,when the patient recovers and
 the health           department        
fumigates the house1 the library books  
are also fumigated as an added          
precaution4            ,the average book
 passing from home to home is never     
fumigated or otherwise disinfected1 ,mr4
 ,cargill           admitted1 but he    
expressed doubt that any diseases       
were spread by such books4              
,among the ways in which ,dr4 ,robertson
 of ,chicago           says disease may 
be spread are the following3            
,dampening the fingers to turn pages1   
placing books           open side       
downward upon a bed1 coughing or

water against the attic where the

the tempest howled and shrieked until   
the little rain gods themselves shook   
under the           hurly burly         

out-of-doors4 ,the water god1 ,long     
,horn1           rolled over to where   
the flower god was lying1 and           
shook himself for very joy1 for he felt 
that the           man tribe of this    
great city would certainly be           
very thankful for all the downpour4     
,it is so dry in the venerable town of

who has just come from a residence of   
several months among them4 ,even though

lives almost entirely upon the maize it 
raises1 the           ceremonies of     
rain-making bear an important part      
in its life4 ,most of the conversation  
of the ,zunis           consists of 8,do
 you think there will be a shower80     
and 8,neighbor1 how is your corn        
growing80            ,in many centuries 
there has been built up a ritual        
for the worship of the sky gods which is
 very           intricate and mysterious
 and includes many secret               
observances4 ,the study which ,professor
 ,kroeber has           made is a very  
important one1 for he will be able      
to describe observances about which     
little has been           known4 ,many  
of the sacred symbols in his possession 
were acquired after much trouble and not
 a little           risk1 for the ,zunis
 have an unwritten law that no          
white man is to have any of the objects 
used in           their ceremonies1 and 

that any one parting with           them
 is entitled to have his throat cut4    
,the rain gods are dressed in fantastic 
garb1 and           the clash of their  
primitive hues can be heard           at
 a great distance4 ,one of the symbols  
of the           lightning is a blue    
pantagraphlike arrangement of

cloud forms and the moon and stars4     
,every creature which loves the wet is  
worked into           the symbolism of

 the ground           beneath the

engineers who planned for the new       
system4            ,at the corner of

 the pipes           in accordance with 
the blue prints1 a huge two-foot        
main conduit of the gas company would   
have to be           shifted4 ,this     
caused much delay and it will be        
weeks before the changes will be made to
 satisfy           the city authorities4
 ,today a large space on the

every-day           difficulties        
encountered by the laborers in digging  
up the ties of the old street railway1  
which were           not removed when   

the line was banished from the

met with a still greater                
surprise when they encountered solid    
rock1 brick           and concrete      
obstructions far beneath the surface1   
and also deeply imbedded piles which had
 remained           in the earth for    
scores of years and which do not        
appear on any blue print of the street  
that the           ,city ,hall records  
contain4 ,it was learned1 however1      
that the tunnels of brick and concrete  
were parts           of an old          
steam-heating system installed many     
years           ago by a company that   
planned to heat buildings at            
much less cost to the occupants than    
could possibly           be done by     
individual plants4 ,these operations    
were           of short duration1 and   
when they were given up1           the  
city authorities failed to oblige the   
removal           of the tunnels1 which 
are eight feet beneath           the    

surface and of no hindrance to the other
           underground works4

however1           although the city

system4            ,in one of ,boston's 
most important thoroughfares1           
lined with costly buildings1 there is a 
water main           which1 if          
completely broken apart1 would allow the

water each minute4                      
,controlling this line are gate valves  
thirty-six           inches in diameter

turns of a gate wrench and1 formerly1   
the services           of four men for  
about forty-five minutes4 ,a few        
minutes' delay sometimes meant the loss 
of life and           thousands of      
dollars4 ,these gates1 the largest in   
the city1 can now be closed in ten      

minutes by one           man and the    
motor truck1 which was built for the    
purpose by the ,white ,company of       
,cleveland4            ,the truck is    
required to respond to fire alarms and  
other emergencies where water must be   
controlled to           prevent loss or 
damage4 ,the calls are frequently       
overlapping1 and crews are on duty day  
and night4           ,the runs vary from
 one block to the farthest           end
 of the water system4 ,under the old    
scheme1           when several gates had
 to be closed1 the few men              
available at night were almost exhausted
 before           shutting the last     
gate4 ,by its ability to work           
continuously the truck has relieved the 
fear of           being unable to cope  
with any emergency4            ,the     
gate-closing device consists of a       
universal           wrench socket with a
 worm gear1 enclosed in an              
aluminum housing and mounted on the     
running board           of the truck1 so

 that it can be easily brought into     
position immediately over a water-gate  
manhole4           ,when the truck is in
 position a wrench is slipped           
through the socket4 ,this wrench fits   
the nut on           the gate-gear      
below4 ,the universal wrench socket1    
together with a universal joint on the  
end of the           wrench1 affords    
sufficient flexibility in case the      
truck is not on level ground1 or in case
 the wrench           socket is not     
directly over the gate nut4 ,it is an   
easy matter1 however1 for the driver to 
bring his           truck into the exact
 position4            ,the worm gear is 
driven off the regular                  
transmission of the truck4 ,the device  
is operated           by a lever placed 
upon the side of the truck and          
easily accessible to the driver4 ,in    
closing gates           the forward     
speeds of the transmission are used4    
,in opening the reverse is used4 ,all   
gears are made           of chrome or   

nickel steel4 ,all bearings are ball    
bearings4 ,the aluminum housing is      
firmly bolted to           the frame of 
the chassis and well braced to resist

steel tube           terminating in a   
specially hardened steel socket         
with universal joint between socket and 
tube4            ,the gates are equipped
 with indicators showing the            
position of the valve and informing the 
operator           when the valve is    
seated or entirely opened4 ,where       
indicators have not been attached to the
 gates a           counter is used4     
,this counter is placed on the          
end of the wrench recording the number  
of its           revolutions4 ,this     
helps the operator to determine         
when the valve is entirely up or down4  
,as a means           of safety in the  
event of the valve seating with         
force or before the operator expected1 a
 pin of           known strength1 placed
 in the universal joint of           the

 wrench1 breaks off and breaks the line 
of force           between the engine   
and the gate1 thus preventing           
damage to either the gate or the

 crossing problem has           been a  
stupendous one1 particularly since the  
advent of the motor car4 ,he is open to 
suggestions           that will         
eliminate the danger at any point and   
immediately accepted two that were made 
to him by           persons interested  
only in the safety of the public        
in general4 ,one was in reference to a  
dangerous           crossing1 now       
guarded by men and lights1 but where    
the conformation of the ground so places

 the lights           that they are     
practically valueless as a warning4     
,the other was in reference to the color
 of the           gates used by the     
,long ,island ,railroad and all         
others in this country4 ,the universal  
custom in           this country is to  
paint the gates white4            ,in   
,europe1 particularly in ,germany and   
,austria1 all           the railroad    
gates1 toll gates and custom house      
gates are painted black and white4 ,they
 can be           seen for long         
distances and are almost as easily      
observed in the night as in the day4

people1 and at           the same time  
an opportunity is given to local        
people to invest in the city bonds at a 
price           which will bring them a 
better return than can be               
obtained on the issues in usual times4

the exemption extending to the

city of ,springfield to-day is          
striking evidence of a revival of

some idea of the attractive level       
at which these bonds are being sold1    
compared           with prices for      
previous issues1 it need only be        
remembered that in #aiac the city       
obtained a #c4hh           per cent

 ,the current sale is the most important
 bit           of public financing which
 has been accomplished in           the 
local market since the war began4 ,it is
 more           than ordinarily         
significant that one of the biggest     
,new ,england banking houses should take
 hold of this           ,springfield    
issue at a time when the bond market    
is suffering more or less from excessive
 timidity4           ,it serves the     
double purpose of providing for the     
financial needs of one of ,new          

,england's largest           cities and 
of creating a little interest in the    
bond market on a basis which is fair    
both to the           city and to the   
investor4 ,there is evidence of

emanating from           ,chicago to the
 effect that the record-breaking        
drought in ,kansas will cause the retail

unheard of prices in the winter1 is     
the declaration of local provision

that1 as the dry spell is only          
in certain sections of ,kansas1 it      
cannot affect           materially the

they           further declare1 and     
certain choice cuts are1 in             
fact1 a great deal lower than at this   
time last           year4 ,the choicest

than #aj cents lower than they were in

the steady rush of cattle           to  
the big live stock markets of the middle

the prices here4 ,in fact1           the

 year           and ,i see no reason why
 they should not continue           to  
stand at the same price4 ,one must      
remember that           the drought is  
confined only to certain sections of    
the state of ,kansas and that other     
sections of the           country are   
not affected4 ,if there is a raise in   
prices it will be confined only to those

drought is40            ,that the       
packers are making fortunes during the  
dry           spell is also denied by   
the local dealers4 ,while           live

 stock prices are to a certain extent

know that the           ,caroline was   
about to go over to ,san ,quentin with

that a husky guard with a big gun       

was prodding him into wakefulness and   
saying hard           things4 ,captain

,the sleepy sailor was yanked out into  
daylight and           taken ashore1    
where he saw only prison walls and      
men in stripes all about him4 ,he was   
marched to the           office of the  
captain of the guard1 the man beside    
him meanwhile commenting on the fine    
disguise           ,larsen wore4 ,the   
poor sailor was dumb from fright1

wanted to get into the ,united ,states  
mighty badly4            ,he was poor

read a lot about ,america and thought   
how fine it           would be to come  
here and retrieve himself and           
really do something worth while before  
it was too           late4

the steamship           ,st4 ,patrick1  
which was bound for ,boston from        
,yokohama4            ,of course he knew
 it wasn't right to become a            

stowaway1 but he couldn't see what real 
harm there           was in it4         
,besides1 he hadn't any money and it    
seemed to be the only thing that was    
left4 ,and he           never dreamed   
that the great free country beyond      
the seas often keeps worthy men outside 
its borders           just because they 
haven't the price of a ticket4          
,but he learned many things that worried
 him from           the ,st4 ,patrick's 
crew during the passage1 after he       
had made himself known1 when he couldn't
 starve any           longer1 and had   
been put to work4            ,he was    
told that an alien stowaway has a mighty
           poor show of 8getting by0    
with ,uncle ,sam--that1 in              
fact1 he hadn't a chance on earth of    
being landed           here4 ,it nearly 
broke his heart1 for there seemed       
to be no way out4 ,but he finally found 
one--and           why not8 ,it was as  
good a way as any other4 ,and1          
besides1 he might win4            ,while

 the ,st4 ,patrick lay at anchor off

,abraham slipped off his shoes and

his shoes           on deck alongside   
the railing and pulled down a           
life-buoy4            ,he gave a last   
look toward the lights that were        
twinkling on shore and dropped into the 
water4            ,next morning the     
shoes were found near where the         
life-buoy should have been4

of sponges1           in sooth1 is      
sailing his craft about the ,caribbean  
in search of his prey4 ,it is some years
 later4           ,it is only a few     
years ago in fact4 ,a storm             
comes roaring out of the ,gulf1 and the 

fisher of           sponges with his    
native fishermen is driven in his       
cockleshell far1 far out of his course4 
,in the dead           of night and the 
murk of the storm the boat is           
piled up on a reef and they rub elbows  
with death           until the ruddy    
streaks of dawn come4            ,then  
this fisher of sponges1 this ,american  
fisher           of sponges--he was also
 a diver and he helped           raise  
the ,merrimac in ,santiago harbor       
once--looked           over the side of 
his boat and he saw down about          
fifteen feet in the blue water the prow 
of a ship4           ,straightway he    
dived4 ,he came up with pieces of       
eight sticking through the cracks of    
both fists1 or           maybe it was   
doubloons4            ,forthwith all of 
his native fishermen dived1             
and they came up with silver and golden 
coin           representing maybe       
#a1bba4cd ,american1 who knows8

did this ,american fisher of sponges get
           him his sextant and his      
latitude4 ,he had to guess           at 
the longitude4 ,then with the ship's    
bell and the           pieces of eight  
he sailed to ,jamaica4            ,there
 he found one who was interested in his 
tale4           ,together they went to a
 lawyer1 and he recommended             
them to another lawyer1 whose name is   
,reginald ,r4           ,leaycraft and  
whose office is at #abi ,pearl street1  
this city4 ,many old records in ,santo  
,domingo ,city           and in ,england
 were gone over1 so say this fisher     
of sponges and his lawyer1 and at last  
the shipping           register of the  
original ,good ,faith was discovered4   
,then they knew of her fatal journey out

 of ,santo           ,domingo ,city on  
that ,june afternoon so long ago1       
and knew1 so say both1 of the treasure  
that was in           her bottom4       
,skipper ,scull1 and he alone1 knows how
 it was           that the sponge diver 
happened to meet such an                
adventurous spirit as himself here in   
,new ,york4           ,yet1 hark ye1    
within a month after the sponge         
fisher and ,skipper ,scull had met      
fortuitously1           all of those    
other brave gentlemen and true from     
,harvard and ,yale had met to form a    
solemn bond and           compact4      
,this was the bond and compact3 ,that   
the           organization should be    
made under the auspices of           the
 ,southern ,research ,company1 a duly   
registered           organization2 that 
the sponge fisher and his lawyer        
should have share and share alike with  
the others2           that the sponge   
fisher should be one of the party       
of discovery1 in that he knew best how  

to interpret           the chart that he
 had made that blue morning after       
the storm2 and that1 chief of all1      
,matsukata1 the           man whose     
father is a baron in ,japan1 should be

conditions1 save the last1 so           
recalcitrant did ,matsukata prove1 were 
fulfilled           to the letter4 ,then
 went the representatives of            
the company to ,mrs4 ,eva ,m4 ,barker1

converted into a sloop with             
auxiliary power4 ,the ,mayflower was    
brought around           to the ,marine 
,basin and all sorts of strange stores  
in boxes and crates were lowered into   
her hold4           ,diving suits       
flopped upon her decks and grappling    
hooks shoved their prongs through burlap
 sacking4            ,skipper ,scull was
 there on the deck of the               
,mayflower each day to shoo away the    

curious and           to scowl at the   
prying4 ,not a word would the war       
correspondent skipper say to the most   
veiled           interrogations4 ,until 
the ,mayflower slipped past             
the chowder distilleries in this        
morning's early           light the     
mystery of her mission and her bourne   
remained inviolate4            ,but     
,skipper ,scull1 ,buck ,harrison and the
 rest have           overreached        
themselves in their secretiveness4 ,for 
know that over a long glass clinking    
with ice one           sleepy night up  
at the ,harvard ,club on ,forty-fourth  
street one of the sextette of           
adventurers revealed           the      
scheme of the expedition4 ,that is why  
not even           ,skipper ,scull knows
 what fell plot is now a-brewing        
to rob him of his putative treasure4    
,this is the plot3 ,up in ,boston lives

is           the possessor of the yacht

 tale of the treasure hunt4 ,not long   
did           the grass grow under the  
,forbes foot4 ,he called                
together the following men1 known to be

 his counter plot1 and all              
gleefully agreed1 if they did not sign a
 pact with           their life blood4  
,so it will be--and one of these ,boston
 pirates           said yesterday that  
it cannot but be--that           after  
the ,mayflower has gone to her all but  
secret destination in the ,caribbean and
 is           sailing homeward1 either  
laden with gold or with                 
experience1 the yacht ,merlin will one  
day stalk out           of the horizon  
and confront her4 ,the ,jolly ,roger    
will fly from the peak of the ,merlin   

and a six           pounder will cough  
out demand for the ,mayflower's         
surrender4 ,the ,mayflower will have to 
heave to           and be robbed or go  
to the bottom with all of her           
gallant gentlemen adventurers weltering 
in their           own blood4           
,it will be about three weeks hence1 so 
swore this           ,boston pirate by  
book and ring yesterday1 that the       
,merlin will sail on her fell mission4  
,after that           the ,spanish ,main
 will roar again and bloody death       
will be abroad over the mellifluous     
waters of the           ,gulf stream4

,natural ,history1 one of the chief     
backers of his           expedition1 is 
sending ,pickels to find ,mac,millan4   
,both the captain in summer city garb   
and his little           schooner1      
dwarfed by the overhanging pier1 and not

unpracticed eye from hundreds           
of sailing craft loading here1 refused  
at first to           fit into the      
picture which he painted in simple      

language of the months ahead4 ,within a 
few weeks           the ,cluett will be 
feeling out open reaches in             
the ice which is rarely absent after    
,nachvak ,bay1           on the north   
,labrador coast1 is passed1 laying a    
course almost due north up ,davis

expedition's           base1 it will be 
nip and tuck between the ,cluett        
and rapidly descending winter4 ,she will
 be late1           and1 skirting the   
ever-present 8middle ice0 of            
,baffin ,bay1 on a course not far off   
shore1 she will           be lucky to   
reach her objective before the waters   
close entirely4            ,and luckier 
still if she finds ,mac,millan and      
his party waiting4 ,for then there is   
the chance           that1 with more    
good fortune and able seamanship1       
,capt4 ,pickels may be able to bring all
 hands out           through the thin   
crust which by ,september will          

cover all those waters4 ,in that event  
he will           have made a season's  
record to be very proud of4             
,what is far more likely--and that is   
the reason           for the two years' 
supply of foodstuffs on board           
the ,cluett--the schooner will nose her 
way into           ,melville ,bay with  
hardly enough time in which to          
select a winter berth in the ice4 ,if   
,mac,millan has           to be waited  
for or search made for him1 the long    
winter will make either task easy4 ,the 
diminutive1           unpretentious     
wooden sailing ship which now reeks     
of oil and ship stores under the warm   
sun1 will           then find herself   
encompassed with leagues of ice4        
,eskimo ice huts will spring up around  
her like           mushrooms1 and in the
 long ,arctic night it would be         
difficult to identify the little ,cluett
 with the           picture at the foot 
of ,east #bast ,street4            ,but 
closer acquaintance with ,pickels and   

the ,cluett           helps one's       
imagination to bridge the gap4 ,ever    
since she was built at ,tottenville1    
some four           years ago1 for the  
,grenfell ,mission service on the       
,labrador coast1 ,pickels has commanded 
her4 ,she           was designed for    
work in northern waters4 ,as the        
bronze plate in the captain's cabin sets
 forth1           she was presented to  
,dr4 ,wilfred ,grenfell in ,july1       
#aiaa1 by ,george ,b4 ,cluett1 of ,troy1
 ,n4 ,y4 ,that she           went to sea
 with purposes other than those of the  
ordinary trading schooner1 the plate    
makes plain           in these few      
words3 8,the ,sea is ,his and ,he made  
,it40 ,the inscription in the brass band
 which binds           the wheel1       
8,jesus saith ,i will make you fishers  
of           men10 serves to distinguish
 her from the run of           fishing  
craft which infest the ,labrador waters4
 ,but           for these symbols of a  
higher vocation she is just             

like them1 save that she is much more   
stanch4            ,from stem to stern  
the ,cluett measures #adb feet1         
and her beam is #bf feet4 ,every foot of
 timber           in her is white oak4  
,and back of the thin steel             
plate on her bows1 where the impact of  
ice is           concentrated1 she can  
boast about two feet of solid           
timber4 ,the outer shell forward is     
composed of           white oak timbers 
eight inches thick4 ,behind them        
is nearly a foot of timbering1 and then 
an inner           shell of six-inch    
white oak all stiffened with            
drift bolts4 ,the ,cluett can be counted
 on to stand           up to the force  
of her eighty horse-power kerosene      
engines1 against all but solid ice4 ,and
 she has           proved it more than  
once4            ,that brought the      
captain to the recital of an            
achievement which probably had much to  
do with the           selection by the  
,museum authorities of him and          

his ship for the work in hand4 ,making  
ordinarily           about three trips a
 year as supply ship to the             
chain of missions established by the    
,grenfell           ,association1 it was
 no new thing for the ,cluett to        
show her seaworthiness in ice and dirty 
weather4           ,but last summer she 
did something out of the                
common4 ,chartered for a few months by  
the ,carnegie           ,institution for
 magnetic investigations in ,hudson's   
,bay1 she and ,capt4 ,pickets displayed 
remarkable           facility for edging
 into ice-strewn waters and             
slipping out with promptness4           
,in a month's time she made the circuit 
of ,hudson's           ,bay1 undeterred 
by almost constant snow-storms and      
gales1 frequently traversing untried    
waterways4           ,she escaped       
without misadventure1 where a less      
careful pilot might have lost his ship4 
,once the           two principal       
members of the party1 the observers1    

were swamped in a small boat4 ,losing   
instruments           and all their     
equipment they went five days without   
food or fire1 and owed their lives to   
,capt4           ,pickels's prompt      
appearance with relief4 ,getting        
into ,hudson's ,bay in mid-summer of    
last year was           not easy on     
account of the ice4 ,after cleanly      
threading ,hudson ,strait1 the ,cluett  
encountered a           ,canadian       
icebreaker1 smashed by the very element 
she was designed to combat1 and breaking
 up4 ,as           this point was a long
 way south of his present               
destination1 ,capt4 ,pickels is mindful 
of what may           be in store for   
him this summer4 ,but he regards the    
,mac,millan relief expedition with as   
much serenity           as if it were   
one of his regular northern visits1     
and with as little timidity as might be 
expected           from a mariner who   
has navigated every ocean and           
circumvented ice in ,bering ,sea as     

successfully as           in ,grenfell's
 ,tickle4            ,although the      
proved nimbleness of the ,cluett leads  
her charterers to hope that she may slip
 into           ,melville ,bay and out  
with the rescued ,mac,millan            
party in time to get back to ,new ,york 
in ,november1           the way food    
supplies have been poured into her      
show that no chances are to be taken1 in
 a locality           where1 as the     
captain remarked1 8ye can't fetch       
stuff from a grocery 'round the         
corner4'0 ,he shed           light upon 
what for a dozen men might be considered
           a two years' food supply4    
,some two thousand pounds           of  
beef1 nearly half of it canned and the  
rest           pickled in brine1 and an

please to           let ,henry know at  

once1 as it's one hundred miles

spend on railroad fare1 proposed to ride
 his mule           to ,kansas ,city4   
,the colonel was so pleased by the      
boy's enterprise that he sent him word  
to come and           enclosed money to 
bring ,zip by railroad4 ,of course1     
strictly speaking1 a mule doesn't belong
 in a horse           show1 but ,colonel
 ,galbraith figured that a trick        
mule named ,zip was too good a bet to   
overlook4            ,the boy started   
training his mule five years ago1       
when he was #ac years old and ,zip was  
#c4 ,henry lived           on a farm and
 he had no brothers and sisters4 ,so    
he made a pet of ,zip1 and taught him   
all sorts of           tricks4 ,then he 
began showing him at county fairs       
and saving the money that he got to     
spend for           education4 ,one of  
these days he hopes to be as well       

educated for a boy as ,zip is for a
