Side Of the City Noted.
Mr.. DANIELS SLOW MEMORY
Fails Him in Discussing That Hypoth.
eeated Board of Trade Resolution.
Funerals OF Mrs. Mary Harris and
Robert tHaggerty-SocialE Events.

The West Side correspondence Of the
Tribune could not contain u greater
tissue OF falsehood than those penned
against the secretary Of the West Side
Board Of Trade. who is also Truth
reporter" Thus wrote c. Z. Daniels
In last nights West Side department
or the Truth, referring to the criticism
on his action in Withholding board of
trade resolutions from the morning pa
pers that he might use them himself.
Now let us see who Is telling the truth
In this matter.
Mr.. Daniels further says: Core
spondent Griffiths early Wednesday
evening asked the secretary for the
resolution. As the board is public or.
ganization, Mr.. Griffiths was told that
the resolution would be left for him at
a certain drug store on Main avenue.
AS matter OF fact. the resolution was
in that drug store before o'clock in the
evening" Right there is where Mr.
Daniels told brazen. unqualified lie. 1t
is lie that is inexcuseable and was
evidently conjured up for the purpose
of getting him out of a very disagree
able hole.
At 1.30 The Tribune representative
met Mr.. Daniels at Davis drug store
and requested the permission OF secur-
Ing a copy of the resolutions.
Don't you think l want anything
for my own paper" replied Mr.. Daniels.
That was question that had no par
ticular barring on the Gaze and again
Mr. Daniels was asked for the resolu-
tions.
II will rro'.-b bly, see you about them
agcia All Ar. Daniels, evGsively, az
he 49, tsd ~t.own TIE street. That was
A>Sny tl=ie the resolutions were in
|dg store Mr.. Daniels refers to,
hen they were in his pocket, where
4Iidently was very anxious TO keep
according to the testimony Of those
employed about the drug store Mr..
Daniels was not afterwards seen about
that establishment during the evening.
The Tribune representative was there
as late as p. m, but nothing had been
seen of the resolutions UP to that hour.
Inquiries made yesterday developed the
information that neither Mr.. Daniels
nor his resolutions put in an appear
ance after that.
Mr.. Daniels need at so time chase
around the avenues for to furnish The
Tribune with news. Its representative
Is willing and able to do all the chasing
necessary to give the people of the
West Side good news service.
He does not propose, however, to any
longer endure the obstacles that the
Truth representative endeavors to
throw in the way of the workers on the
morning papers.
1t is not entirely the matter OF the
resolutions in question that the writer
contends for. 1t is the principle in
volved. Mr.. Daniels has no right to
confiscate, without any justification
whatever news that belongs to the
morning papers, and he might as well
know right here and now that such
sharp practices will not be tolerated in
future AS secretary Of the board OF
trade, and in other official capacities,
ne has on innumerable occasions
strained courtesy to the bursting point
to hinder the morning newspaper work
ere that he might favor his own paper.
This is we'll known in newspaper circles
and out
The Tribune prints the news when 1t
is news and 1t will not longer allow Mr..
Daniels to hamper 1t. He must act In
an official capacity as any gentleman
would or step down and take his seat at
the press table on an equal footing with
his fellow workers.
