SUNDAY AFTERNOON PAPER
SCORES AGAIN.

Inc sunday afternoon newspaper
scored again on the Sunday Just
passed, thereby justifying once more
the confidence rePosed in it when 1t
was established by The Washington
Times more than year ago
Sunday afternoon the people of
Washington were given a Twenty-Five
page paper, chock full Of live news and
interesting advertising matter Fore
most among the important items in
the news columns was the account OF
the accidental death of Benjamin s
Cowl, the patent attorney, and the
serious injury of his wife. There was
also a long dispatch from Chicago, tell
ing Of the departure of the Western
railroad presidents for Washington
for a conference with President Taft.
and giving an outline OF what they
would have to say to the Chief Execu-
tive. In connection with this the
Sunday afternoon Times carried a dis
patch from Olean, n. Y. telling Of the
Presidents return trip to this city
from Michigan, for the purpose of
meeting the railway presidents, and
giving Mr.. Taft's probable response to
their demands.
The death of o. Henry, the author,
in New York hospital Sunday morn
ing, was recorded, as was the special
Sunday session of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, held for the purpose of
honOring the memory of the late
Representative Lowering. The Sunday
paper published an account of the
celebration of Confederate Memorial
Day and new weather forecast for
the week issued by the Weather
Bureau.
One of the most important pieces of
Sunday news was the action of the
State Department on the case OF
William P. Pittman, the young Ameri-
can who has been captured by the
A1adriz troops in Nicaragua. The
Times was able TO publish the fact
that our Government had received as
surances from Madriz that Pittman
would be well treated and was in no
danger of becoming a victim of in
justice or hssty action. The text of
the messages sent by the State De
partment TO Pittsman's family was
printed. A picture of Pittman APP
peared on the first page, as did a pic
ture of Maurice Il. Joyce, the Wash
ington broker who was drowned in the
Potomac river Saturday night Fur
ther details of the drowning of Joyce
and late information as to the recovery
of the body and its shipment to Wash
ington were also contained in the
paper.
Besides these more important news
events there were scores Of others OF
less import recorded, while the regular
daily departments Of the paper were
right up 20 the minute. But for the
fact that The Washington Times pub
fishes a Sunday afternoon paper of the
same character as its weekday papers,
Washington would have had to wait
for all this information until Monday
morning.
As each week passes the need of the
community for a Sunday afternoon
newspaper becomes more and more sp-
parent. The Times is effectively sup
plying that need.
