tive Ordinance

. There is likelihood Of Immediate
enactments by the city council to
regulate the moving picture business
The matter was brought up in a petit
tion fro mthe federation Of women's
clubs and the w G. I. e., with speci-
al reference to prize fight films.
It Is likely the scope OF the ordn-
anee viii be broadened The city at
tofney was Instructed to draw an or
dinance covering the fight feature.
but the eouncilmen are likely to tack
on further provisions. There is ey-
eryNh here a disposition to land on
picture show managers who use oh.
seen or sensational picture films.
In the course of week or more
people to the picture shows thar to
all other places OF public assembly or
public amusement combined The
children constitute almost a majority.
There has been no special comp aint
OF the pictures in Guthrie theatres,
bur what changes Of management may
do in the future is the sufficient rea-
son for starting regulations row.
Within a year, however, there have
been shewn in Guthrie few murders
ST. cides, stage fobberles etc, and
several maudlin melodlamas and

BOOMING BALTIMORE.

u ALTlMORE is making energetic effort to
~ secure the next national Democratic con-
vention The National Committee will decide
upon the convention city at its meeting in anu-
ary. Baltimoreans have done splendid prelimi-
nary work in pledging the money necessary to en-
tertain the convention should it be held in the
Maryland metropolis
One of the Baltimore newspapers declares, We
have the city, we have the hotels and we have the
money. This is very fine condition for Baltimore.
and there is no valid reason why that city should
not be selected for the convention as it has been
a long time since Democratic convention was
held in the east.
Baltimore is determined to rival New Orleans
as city for general conventions Ii is said that
New Orleans is the greatest convention CITY in
the country 1t is estimated that exclusive of the
annual carnival which is something peculiar to
New Orleans, the Louisiana city entertans at
various conventions at least 100000 visitors each
year, and it is figured that the visitors leave
Sl3500000 with their hosts.
This is practical reason why cities wish con-
ventions and visitors. New Orleans goes after
conventions 1t has Progressive Union and the
representative of the union is every convention
urging the claims of New Orleans as convention
city. When the delegates arrive at New Orleans
they arc warmly welcomed. When they leave the
delegates have a good word to say for the South
ern city.
We have no doubt that Baltimore would enter
tain the delegates to the Democratic convention
in a hospitabe manner No other city should be
able to surpass her. Delaware Democrats should
do oil in their power to assist their MARYLAND
neighbor, in fact do more than merely vote TO
locate the convention in Baltimore The Delaware
should join the Baltimore boomers, as no
doubt they would do if the matter were properly
presented TO them.

construction of a new telegraph line.
Later, il became known that he pro-
NOTED this telegraph line with the in
tention of selling it to the federal gov
ernment. In order to create public
opinion in favor of this plan, Mr..
Gould caused a newspaper to be es-
tablished at Washington. He realized
that if he could get possession of
four New York newspapers, each OF
which was a member of The Associat-
ed Press Of that day, then he would be
able to control that very powerful in
strumentality for the furnishing Of
news. He did buy one newspaper and
was of influence in the offices Of an
other. He is understood to have
thought out the ownership of a chain
OF newspapers. each link of which
would be located in one of the larger
cities Of the United States, the whole
chain stretching from Boston to San
Francisco. The magnitude of the cost
and the audacity Of the plan did not
deter Mr. Gould from an attempt to
carry it out He was very anxious to
buy the New York Times. One day in
1876 gentleman called upon iieorge
Jones and asked him if The Times
was for sale.

Evening journal., 1911-12-16

Some time ago l told Of an attempt
which was made in 1871 by William M.
Tweed to buy the New York Times. Mr..
Tweed was willing to pay as much as
five million dollars for The Times,
solely for the purpose of preventing
that newspaper from making the now
historic exposures Of the so-called
Tweed ring.
The late George Jones, who was
then the proprietor of the New York
Times, refused to sell the paper to
Mr. Tweed. even though the price Of
fered were ten times as high as five
million dollars. The exposures of the
Tweed ring were made by The Times,
with the result that the power of that
corrupt organization was ended; some
Of the conspirators fed to Europe,
Tweed was imprisoned and died in
prison.
That was not the only attempt made
to buy the New York Times by men
who wanted to use this great news
paper for their personal ends. Jay
Gould, having made careful inquiries,
learned that The Associated Press (as
It was in the early seventies) was an
organization in the ownership of fve
or six New York newspapers. Mr.
Gould at that time was planning the
