Headquarters in This City.
The headquarters Of the American Tele-
graph Press will be Washington, which
is contrary to the usual custom Of press
associations. Regarding this, Mr.. Jones
said yesterday:
1T is estimated that one-fifth Of all
American news carried on press wires
originates IN Washington. Consequently
we do not consider that II is necessary
to have headquarters in New York City.
We have ample capital and a wide field"
Mr.. Dave, who is managing director Of
the Southern Commercial Congress, said {:
II have been glad to assist in the
incorporation of the American Telegraph
Press. Several features of 1t have grown
out OF the realization that great produc-
tive fields of news are, at present, neg
lected, particularly along the lines Of
commercial and Industrial development.
hope to see the American Telegraph
Press give close attention to these mat
ters as its wires are extended. 1t will
specialize on foreign news from countries
in which the United States is most inter-
ested along lines Of commerce"
