The Baedeker guide books are issued
from a very commonplace-looking build
ing in a long block occupied by other
publishers. There is nothing to distin-

wrote the first guide book ever published

Karl Baedeker died In 1859. when his son
and namesake became manager Of the
business. and In 1860 published guides to
London. England and Italy. He also re-
vised those that had been issued by his
father. and published new editions. In
1878 the second Karl Baedeker retired
and his younger brother. Fritz Baedeker.
who was born at Coblenz in 1874 became
and still is the head Of the house. Until
1857 all the guide books were pritned in
German; since that year French and
since 1861 English editions have been is
sued. John Kirkpatrick, afterward pro-
fessor at the University Of Edinburgh. had
charge Of the English department until
1878. when James F. Muirhead succeeded
him.
The Baedekers have a staff OF con-
trtbutors who spend their time travelling
and collecting material for the guide
books, but prefer that they should re-
main unknown. Indeed, it was difficult to
get any information about the business,
although Fritz Baedeker was kind enough
to. give the brief facts that have stated.
The German editions have the largest
sale, and the French and English editions
run about even.

Press Freedom Guaranteed.

There was a rapid increase in the num-
Der of publishers and in the number of
books published Immediately after 1870
when the government of Saxony passed a
law guaranteeing the freedom Of the
listed and publishers and printers were
held responsible for everything that came
from their presses without regard to au-
thorship. This rule originated during
Napoleon's occupation of Saxony and
was originally intended for the suppress
sion of libelous attacks upon him and
the French. 1t was continued after his
defeat and downfall and publishers had
to submit to many inconvenience and
annoyances and were often compelled to
suppress and destroy editions of books
which had cost them a great deal of
money because they contained something
offensive to the authorities. In 1870, how
ever, the Saxon diet enacted free press
law, which was confirmed by imperial au-
thority afterward, and within the next
and publication houses in Leipzig doubled.

Great Leipzig Book Fair.

The total sales of bound books in Ger
many in 1909 were about twenty million
dollars worth. and Of that total more
than half of the transactions took place
at the Leipzig book fair, which occurs
every year at the jubilate, the first week
in Easter, when booksellers and publish
ers from all parts of Germany assemble
to compare and balance accounts and to
make contracts for the next year.
Book peddling is very common in Ger
many. There are eighty thousand Ii
censed canvassers, who sell usually on
the installment plan. Circulating libraries
are practically unknown, notwithstanding
the high rate of intelligence of the people.
A Carnegie is very badly needed in Ger
many. There are only 1870 public libraries
altogether in the empire, with a total of
q. 10000 books. Deducting the imperial
library and other big collections at Der
lin and he university towns, that would
leave an average of only about ten thou
sand books for each library. AID most of
them are books of reference.
The most familiar sign I'm Leipzig are
"Buchdruckerei.' which means printing
Office, and "Buchhandlung," which means
book store. On University street nearly
all the buildings are occupied by book
stores. The most familiar objects in the
streets are trucks loaded with books and
paper, and you can scarcely walk block

Cost Is About One-Half.

The cost of printing, binding, litho-
graphy and engraving is about one-half
what it is in the United States, which Is
due to the low wages 1 quoted the other
day. Nevertheless the business Is very
profitable, and there are said to be
twenty millionaires among the Leipzig
printers However. the term millionaire
over here means only one fourth as much
as 1t does in the United States. for they
count by marks instead of dollars.
Frankfort used to be the publication
center of Germany, but the arbitrary
regulation Of the municipal officials drove
the printers away from that town, while
ment brought them to Leipzig. In Frank
fort the municipality demanded three
copies Of every book that was brought to
the annual fair. This arrangement last
ed until 172S. when a break was made to
Leipzig. and one printing house followed
another until the latter city became the
publication ceRter that it is. In 1864 the
BOrSenverein, or publishers union. was or
gained, and it has existed until today,
with members In every part of Germany,
and even in other countries. The Borsen-
blatt, a daily paper, which is the organ
of the trade, was started in 1894. At first
1t appeared only occasionally: In 1887 it
began to appear every week, and since 1862
il has been published daily. 1t contains
announcements, advertisements of interest
to printers and publishers, and a list of
new books and publications issued that
day.
1t is the official organ Of the Borsen-
verein and a copy of every book issued is
sent to the Office for registration, which
goes into the library of the association
At the headquarters of the Borsenverein
is a list Of all the books published in
Germany since 1904 complete cata-
Iogue. In the first year the total publica-
tions were 26; one hundred and forty
years later. in 1900. the total was 951; ;
at the beginning of the next century the
number was 5 9O6; in 1870 the total Of
books published in Germany was TO- los;
in 1880 1t was 1890; in 1885 it was 49,

The largest number of books printed in
Leipzig are text books for schools and
universities: the second list are books on
law and politics, and then in order fiction,
medicine, natural sciences, history and

Some commissioners are authorized by
their clients to forward promptly every
book that they think will be suited to
their trade without instructions, and de-
required to meet the demand. All small
orders are sent by mail. Book post
charges in Germany are very low-about
one-fourth as much as those in the United
States-and the post office department
gives special privileges to publishers in
order to increase its revenue from this
source. The boys we see going around
with baskets on wheels are among the
largest contributors to the postal reve-
nues of the German empire.
Berlin a Would-Be Rival.
OF late years Berlin has been trying to
win the trade away from Leipsig, but has
not met with any success. The munich
pal authorities of the latter city have
done a great deal to help the trade, and
only few years ago when the Borsen-
verein had outgrown it's old headquarters
and determined to build a new exchange
the city council! contributed site, an
entire block, valued at 500, 600. and made
the property exempt from taxation for
ever.
1t is a handsome building, costing about
s250,Ooo, and contains large hall, in
which the annual meetings Of the Borsen-
verein are held the first week after Eas-
ter. Book sellers and publishers have as
semi led here annually to settle their &C
counts since 1884 and have had a BAN
quet every year since 1896. The oldest
publication firm is that Of F. A. Brock
haus, which was founded in the latter
part of the eighteenth century. Several
other houses were founded shortly after.
Upon the same block as the Borsen-
verein building is a permanent museum
of the topographic arts, in which are ex-
hibited collections of early books, beauti-
full specimens Of printing, engraving,
lithographing and other forms with por-
traits and relics of famous printers and
publishers The departments given up to
printing machinery are interesting al
though the collection of early books does
not compare with that at the Lenox
Library, New York. and those Of several
private collectors in the United States.
while J. Pierpont Morgan has more rare
and valuable books than can be found in
all the German empire. The director Of
the museum was careful to explain that
no efforts had ever been made and no
money had ever been spent to make an
historical collection and all of the exhib-
it's had been incidental gifts. The object
of the museum was practical. he said, and
the intention of the committee in charge
was more to furnish object lessons for the
instruction of printers than entertain
ment.

MORRILL,
WILL SIDE
WITH BOARD

The board of police commission
ers intends standping pat on the
Sullivan case, according to cur
rent report around the city hall
this morning, and it is also gener-
ally understood that this stand will
be taken in accordance with the
opinion of Corporation Counsel
Morrill,.
Mr.. Morrill, has as yet made no
announcement as to what his opin-
ion as to the powers Of the coun-
Gil and the police board in the Sui
Ivan matter will be, but from
sources of unquestioned reliability
it is learned that the gist of his
opinion will be that the city coun-
Gil has no authority to instruct the
police board as to what It's findings
shall be in any case which may
have been heard or may yet be
heard before them.
This finding, it is said, is based
upon the provision of the charter
which places the police board in
the position of judges when they
hear evidence against any police
officer who may appear before
them on charges, and upon the
principal Of law that no body has
the right ii instruct judges as to
the nature of any decision which
they may render.

The coroner's jury which yester-

death of Eli Basta, the Austrian
who was shot and killed as the re.
suit of a game of cards in a lodg-
ing house at 40 Main avenue, last
Sunday evening, returned YER
dict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death as the result of
gunshot wounds inflicted by a
weapon in the hands of Dan Ru-
bertt.
Seven witnesses were examined
during the course of the inquiry,
and all were unanimous in declar-
ing that the quarrel came up over
a card game. Rubertt, it was de-
clared, lost S. to Zelliker, and then
borrowed S. from Basta. Again
Rubertt lost and refused to show
his cards. Zelliker then grabbed
the cards, and when Rubertt made
a motion as though to draw a re-
volver, Basta leaped upon the
table and knocked over the lamp
Shots were then fired and when a
light was brought Basta was dead
on the floor, Zelliker was wound
ed and Rubertt was missing.

COOK WANTS To

NEW YORK, Dec. THAT Dr..
Cook felt he was in the position
of the man without country"
and that he wanted to unbosom
himself to the American people
and be taken back after having
earned their respect, is the state
ment of Henry Mack, former atto'-
ney for the explorer. Mack talked
with Cook in London during
August. The doctor was then out
lining the article soon to appear IN
Hamptons magazine.
''Dr. Cook knew that he was a
poor scientist and goegrapher, but
he didn't think he would be unf-
versally condemned on that ae.
count" said Mack.
THE charges that he was a liar
and a faker hurt him terribly. i
told him that because of his actions
he was like a man without a coun-
try.
"I want to unpack my heart to
the American people. I want them
to forget the pole, and l want them
to take me back with respect,
Cook replied"
