NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.
Charles H. Grasty Secures First
class Plant in a Few Minutes.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
An interesting illustration of the i'm
mediate and vigorous steps taken by
the newspaper proprietors of Baltimore
to resume business when they found
their plants completely destroyed by
the confiagration is found in the ex-
perience of Charles H. Grasty, the pub
Usher of the Baltimore News and a
director of the Associated Press.
With the Baltimore News building
in ruins, Mr.. Grasty promptly arrang-
ed with the Washington Post to con-
tinue his publication temporarily. Then
he jumped on the midnight train. for
New York, arriving here early yes
terday morning. In the meantime he
had the good fortune to secure an OPP
ton on a large vacant building in Bal
timore. Upon reaching here, the first
thing he did was to find a telephone
and call up Adolph S. Ochs at his res
idence. Then a conversation was held
substantially as follows:
Hello. Is this Mr.. Ochs?"
Eyes. Who is it?"
"Grasty-the Baltimore News
Where are you?"
I'm in New York"
'Awfully sorry to hear of your
loss
Everything has been destroyed in
Baltimore. How about that Philadel-
phia Times plant?"
THAT plant is at your service"
Whats the price?"
Go and take it, and If you and I
can't agree upon a price. later, why
We'll leave the matter to third
party"
Thanks. That's satisfactory. I'll
take it."
And thus $15O,OOO newspaper estab-
lishment was secured for the use of
the Baltimore News in less time than
it takes to tell it. The plant is thor
detail it being that with which the
Philadelphia Times popularity regard
ed as a model of typographical art,
has heretofore been produced, and in
cludes Hoe presses, an up to-date ster-
eotyping and engraving equipment,
first-class composing room outfit, and
a complete library, together with Of
flee furniture and fixtures.
Within ten minutes afterward ar
rangements had been made for all the
| machinery and accessories of the Phil-
adelphia Times plant to be packed, 7
and before now a small army of men
has been employed for this purpose,
and special train engaged to trans
fer the property to Baltimore. With
IN rev Gays, probably DeIOTe the
end of this week, Mr.. Grasty expects
to have his new publishing house in
full operation and to be able, with the
superior facilities at hand, to materi-
ally assist any of his Baltimore con-
temporaries who may require aid.
Mr.. Grasty later arranged with Hoe
& Co. to secure a large press which
was in course of construction at their
works. He also communicated with
the Mergenthaler Linotype Company
and the American Type Foundry, OBJ
tanning from them machines and ma
terial for use in his new plant Her
man Ridder. of the Stats Zeitung, of
fered to take down one of his presses
and lend it to the Baltimore News, and
a similar proposition was made by the
publisher of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
Mr. Grasty left for Baltimore in the
afternoon, deeply impressed with the
spirit of sympathy manifested here for
the distressed in his own city. He
had accomplished in a few hours a
task which, under other circumstances,
might have consumed weeks or
months.

Mr.. C. H. Pettus, formerly CONNER

with headquarters at Augusta, was in
Savannah yesterday, and called Oh
number of his friends in the rail-
roads.
Among the echoes that have come
from the recent meeting of the South
eastern Passenger Associations meet
ing at Palm Beach is the story OF how
two of the attendants at 1t took drink
in one of the hotels. and paid for 1t.
The story is in the paying for the re-
freshment. Each insisted that 1t was
up TO him. and finally one of the two
insisted that he do the paying on the
ground that he wanted some change,
anyway. He handed out dollar bill
and got the change-l0 cents. HIS
friend congratulated him on the amount
of change he received and the incident
was closed.
