PRAISE FOR NEWSPAPERS
Chester S. Lord Tells Embryo
Journalists of Their Chances.

Newspapers of to-day are better than
they have ever been and come nearer
than ever TO being perfect according
to Chester s. Lord, Of THE Sum-" who
spoke at Columbia University yesterday
on THE Newspaper of To-day" Poll
Tics" said Mr.. Lord. is the most con-
spicuous topic Of the times. and conse-
quently II is the most important subject
with which newspapers have TO DEAL
He continued:
The newspapers of to-day are better
than ever before. They are more com
prehensive, for the reason that, being
very much larger, they may give almost
unlimited space to the topics OF the day.
They are better because they are more
accurate in statements Of fact and more
fair-minded In the presentation or pass
ing events. All decent newspapers now
take pride in their accuracy of statement
in the news columns. and there is little
intentional Misrepresentation. me po-
litical campaign just ended was conduct
ed by the newspapers with the utmost
fairness. 1t was reserved for the cam
didates themselves and the pollticai
Spokesman TO misrepresent and call
names. Almost all OF the newspapers
hereabouts opposed the candidacy OF
fully and truthfully the enthusiasm with
which he was received wherever he went.
and they reported his speeches and his
sayings with an impartial display or
totem pole headlines and barbed wire
type. 49,
The newspapers Of to-day are better
because more study and thought are put
into their construction. Not only are the
editorial writer's men of education, but
the sub-editors, the night editors. the
revisers of copy and the reporters are
mostly all college bred Monumental aC-
robats who have been taught to think
and to express their thoughts; who have
been taught where to seek and how to
find information and knowledge; who
have been taught to be confident ana
self-reliant and original The proper
ton of college bred men on newspaper
stats is much greater than II used to
be, and to my mind the intelligence or
the stats has increased in exactly the
same proportion.
Mr. Lord spoke OF the Columbia course
in Journalism as one laid out with inn
mite wisdom. teaching not only the be-
ginnings of the business but the vastly
more important fundamentals, adding:
And If in addition to the course you
will master a speciality or two you VIII
find yourself at great advantage over
YOUR fellow workers. In the newspaper
office the man who knows most about a
given topic is the man summoned 10
write on that topic.

STATE TO GUARD CANAL
Will Halt Brooklyn Waterfront I'm
proyement, Bensel Hints.

John A. Bensel State Engineer, appear
ing yesterday on the suggestion of Gov
ernor Dix at the hearing In the City Han
on the plan Of Dock Commissioners Tom
kins for the improvement of the South
Brooklyn waterfront served notice that
the state would oppose any plans that
might interfere with the terminals of the
$50, 1000 state barge canal. He would
not undertake to say whether there might
be such interference until the plans OF
the city had been further developed.
What part would this plan of yours
play in connection with terminal for
the barge canal?' President Mitchell OF
the Board of Aldermen asked Dock Com
missioner Tomkins.
1T might play most important part
replied the Commissioner. AT present
much coarse freight goes TO Philadelphia
and Baltimore. New York is practically
an ocean liner port. The South Brooklyn
freight facilities. as planned, with much
coarse freight, such as grain. coming
down the barge canal, ought TO increase
the tramp steamship service to consid-
cradle extent"

letter said that the property involved had
a right in the water interests known as
the Pocantico Hills supply, from which
the village OF Tarrytown gets part Of its
water supply.
The offer OF this site comes after DR..
H. Eugene Porter, of the State Depart

in which he refused TO allow the county
to establish its hospital in the town
of Yorktown, holding that It was too
close to Croton Lake, one Of the sources

It from view. The flames spread TO the
sheds OF the Brooklyn Eastern District

BY this time Police Captain Shaw, OF
the Bedford avenue station, in whose

The Standard OIL Company piped its
oil to emergency tanks at Greenpoint
avenue, in Blissville, and to Hunters
Point, In Queens County, distances of
about three miles, when they saw the
fire would be serious. The Brooklyn
Union Gas Company pumped its gas to
its tanks at Berry street to avoid the
chance of an explosion.
Nearly five hundred fremen were
used in the effort to control the flames
Battalion chiefs Connolly, Walsh, Foo
