New YORK, Nov. 12-"The natives in the
tributary state of Newyauhaur, in the
province of 0rissa, have revoited against
their ruler, Shit FL 0tspueht." So read q
cablegram to the Associated Press from
Calcutta last week, with the exception of
the name of the rajah. The New York
Press says today:
Now, the Associated Press is nothing If
not truthful. There was method in the
fiction quoted about the name of the rajah,
telegraphed to al the newspapers IL served.
The management has grown confident
that the United Press has, for long time,
been In the habit of appropriating dis
patches put on the wires by the Associated
Press Surely to prove the truth of this
superstition, IL was decided TO send forth q
cable bit of alleged news. which, true or
false, could injure no interests in the
United States and would be of little mo-
ment. Not only did the unfortunate rajah
figure in the Associated Press newspapers
Saturday morning. but, strange TO say. he
appeared in all his shameless mendaclty
in the United Press papers as well. Readily
the bait had been taken. The United
Press had appropriated its rivals news,
