Mr.. Hyde's management of the Cham'

is he so unfortunate in his choice of city
depositaries? Why does the city owe
what protection it has in the Shape CT

"A MIsINFoRMED BISHOP"
His Errors About the Modern News
Daper.

From The New York Times.
But Mr.. Heney, OF San Francisco, echo
ing the Bishop tWilliamsl, charged that
the newspapers have come to such pass
that they suppress, dstort and color the
facts In order TO shape the public mind In
such a way as they desire" II Mr.. Heney
knew a little more about modern news
papers he would see that this statement is
preposterous. The distortion and coloring
Of facts would be about the surest way by
which q newspaper manager could baff1e
his own efforts 10 win circulation and ad-
vertising.
Bishop Williams assured his audience that
the upstate farmer does not read The
Tribune as reverently as he used TO in
Horace Greeley's day" Then the upstate
farmer is fool, for The New-York Trib-
une Is now q better newspaper than 1t ever
was in Horace Greeleys day. In that
somewhat remote era the newspapers were
partisan and they did not fairly print all
the news. They printed the news favorable
TO their own party, the speeches Of their
own candidates and their supporters, and
they gave mighty little space to the
speeches OF the other party's candidates.
II it was ever true of the American press
that 1t distorted news, It was true In those
days. Now the best newspapers print with
equal fulness and accuracy the speeches OF
both parties, the news about both parties.
The most ordinary commercial instinct
prompts 10 this course. Wouldn't II be
foolish for a newspaper manager 10 drive
his readers 10 take some other newspaper
In order TO find out what was going on In
the political field? Here is quite modern
instance: The Brooklyn Eagle" and THE
Times" have opposed the triborough plan
of subway building favored by Controller
Prendergast and President Mitchell. The
Evening Post" has favored that plan. When
the Prendergast-Mitchel report urging the
adoption of that plan was issued the otner
day. THE Eagle" and The Times" pub
lished II very fully and accurately, each
giving about five columns of space to II.
1.-THE POST DllDligle6 II flillY, also,
something like four columns. And that IS
only one instance out of multitudes that
could be cited.
The dictates of common courtesy would
seem 10 require that out OF consideration
for their hosts the speakers at the perlodi-
cal publishers dinner should have mas
tered at least some rudlmentary truths
about the subject they were TO discuss.

HIS HEROISM MAY WIN
CONVICT HIS FREEDOM

Atlanta, Oct. John Parry, life
convict on the Georgia gang, by a
recent deed of brilliant heroism, vii
probably win that which is more pre-
cious than any Carnegi medal-his
freedom.
When Roscoe Stansbury, a young
Albanian who was subsequently shot
bya convict guard, ran away from
convict camp lst spring, he fell in
front of a rapidly moving train, close
to the camp, and would have been
crushed to death had not Parry, who
was close in pursuit, dashed across
the rails and hurled the prostrate
form out of danger.
Parry was sentenced to serve a life
sentence for killing a circus musician
named John Walker at Dalton, Ga,
eight years ago. The officials of the
Fulton county surveyors office have
started a petition for his pardon which
will be signed by practically all the
local court officials and then sent 20
Dalton for further signatures before
it is presented to the governor ahc
the prison commission.

RECOGNIZED DAUGHTER OF
HIS FIRST SWEETHEART

Atlanta, Oct. 2.-Marion Murray, To-
cal vaudeville actress was yesterday
recognized by Col Milton c.. Wilcox,
an aged veteran, as the daughter of
woman who had been his sweetheart
fifty years ago. "Your mother was
my first sweetheart" he told her.
The sole object of the hearing was
to determine whether or not the gov
ernor would be justified in ordering
new investigatory survey to be made
to find out whether the state did act
ually own any part of the disputed
land.
The power company contends that
it has absolutely just titles to every
foot of the disputed property and that
the procedure of the conservation as
sociation amounts in technical legal
language to nothing more nor less
than slander on the title.
The conservation people contend that
the grants run to the bluff on the
edg of the river instead'ot' the middle
of the stream.

1t must have been one of the most

morning with their machinery to con-
tinue the street paving.

lillian censorship of the wires out
