OF supporters of Senator Martin to
the fact that they were going too far

PRESS OPERATOR
MAKES RECORD
THOMAS BRICKHOUSE PUTS 49,
900 WORDS ON THE WIRE
IN ONE DAY.

R C H MON d VA Special
OF the hundreds OF special articles
which have been sent from Chester
field Courthouse since tbs sensational
al Seattle trial began, the record for
length is up to this time held By the
Munsey Syndicate stan. which last
Thursday put on one wire a story no
less than $4,000 words long.
The entire story was teiegraphed by
Thomas E. Briokhouse, OF Washing
ton. one OF the youngest but, at the
same time, one of the most expert
telegraphers at the courthouse.
BAR. Brickhouse, who has made
daily average OF 10000 words, was
born in Princess Anne county. Va, in
1884, and took up telegraph work be-
fore he was thirteen years old. He
has done practically all kinds OF COM
mercial work, but has specialized on
press work.
When fifteen years old he was en-
ployed by the Associated Press as an
expert sender
He remained with the Associated
Press twelve years. About a year ago

Of the Washington bureau of the
United Press.
When the Beattie trial began he
was retained by the Munsey Syndi-
cate 10 handle the copy of the syndi-
cate star, procuring special leave Of
absence from the Washington bureau.
Mr.. Brickhouse is one of the "old
school, students. He has no need
for the new sending machines, which
are so largely used. He declares that
his recent record of 1900 words on
one story establishes the fact that the
old method is as good as the best and
that a good man needs nothing but an
ordinary key with which to put the
words on the wire.
