For the first time since it made its
appearance six years ago as morn

today made public the names of its
owners.
Although it has been denied re-
peatedly through these years by those
in charge of the paper, it has been
generally believed that the publica-
tion was owned principally by Werner
z. Reed, the multi-millionaire. This
morning for the first time acknowl-

The other men whose names are
given as part owners are all local rep
resentatives of Mr.. Reeds big corpo-
ration interests.
For some time the affairs of the
