declare that they are growing tired of pay
ing more money for a news service less
satisfactory than any they have ever had
in their experience. The recent withdrawal
of the Southern Associated press from the
Western Associated Press has rather inc
tensified this spirit and has awakened
grave doubts about the future of their
association.
Those who know Mr.. Stone well expect
him to announce in his letter of resigna-
tion that his heart is still true to Poll,
but they will continue to hold the belief
that his shrewd instincts have told him
that the time has arrived to place upon
other shoulders the responsibility of con-
Quoting a losing fight to the finish.
The directors of the Western Associated
Press have held Mr.. Stones proposed res
ignation under consideration in their
meeting in New York this week. Some of
them are in favor of selecting Charles s.
Diehl as Mr. Stones successor. Mr..
Diehl is Mr.. Stones assistant. Others be-
lieve that the position could be best filled
by Col. John A. Cockerell, formerly edi-
tor of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. The directors have been in commun-
