SMALL PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
EXPOSED.
Associated Press Adopts Original But
Successful Methods-Brewer
the Offender.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Newspap"r and
telegraph circles were astounded at
the exposure made by the Evening
Post of schemes and crimes of the
small associations. through the mama
ger of one of them, to get news If
the associated press before its publica-
ton Gradually but surely detec ives
worked up the case, getting most abso-
Lutte evidence as to the nature of the
traffic carried ON. After the evil
dence was all we'll in hand there was
clipped from the Daily News of April
r. 1886. al account of an awful cy
clone in Kansas City which destroyed
many dwelling and school houses,
killing a number of children. The
tale was a blood-curdling one, and
great news, except for the fact that it
was eight years old. This item was
sent out about noon on one of the cir
cults of the associated press supposed
to be tapped: all other cities being
cut off. The thieves copied it, and
rushed it to their clients throughout
the country.
The wire Taper, who work made
this stealing possible, is notorious in
this line of work. Mr.. Brewer, head
of the news association, is tel
egrapher and was an employee of the
associated press several years ago,
but was discharged for Irregularities

Luther Latin Mills who says the stu
alton is serious one, and while it is
reached by the local statutes of many
states, it seems to demand federal leg
islation, based on the interstate COM
merce act which shall supplement
such statutes and it is probable that
congress will be asked to take action
in the premises.
