THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
SToPPED.-The New York Herald states
OF the New York Daily News; 81. Goodsell,
OF the New York Graphic; Sidney Dean of
the Providence Daily Star; Robert Nevin, OF
the Boston Globe, notified the manager OF
the American Press association In New
York that from that date they should dis
cor unue taking the news Of the American
NJ
liam b. Somerville. seeing that without the
aid OF these papers the association could not
do business and pay its employees, dis
charged every man IN the office, and notified
all the papers taking news that the associs-
zion bad ceased to exist. No sooner was this
done than the employees OF the american
Press association" were employed by q new
ISOLATION" which at once sent out its circu-
lars and offered to supply ell the customers
or the American Press with the same news
ing for its use. The Herald explains as the
cause OF the trouble that Mr.. Robert John
ston, publisher Of the New York Evening
Mail, by purchase Of stock and the secure
ment of proxies had obtained control OF the
association. Lately the association has
been losing money, and at q meet
Ing OF the stockholders In Philadelphia
last week proposition was made TO in
crease the capital stock to five hun
drtd shares. Arrangements were made
to place the stock SO that $1,000 could
be raised. Mr.. Johnson voted IL do VII
TO The great difgust of the general and the
stockholders. This eXasperated the mi
nority to such degree that they held a pri-
Vate meeting and resolved to form another
association. The manager Of the American
Press association, who sided with the mi
nority, quietly went to work and discharg-
ed all the agents throughout the country
and the European correspondents and then
engaged In New ork and the association as
newly constituted will begin operation at
once.
