Iowa Man Tells Teachers Of Journalism About News
 Sense.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 2s-"The news paper style, which IS becoming more and more essential in the equipment of every successful writer, is the clear est, most concise and most interesting style in which things can be written,' . declared Prof. F. w. Beckman, of the department of Journalism of Iowa State College today in addressing the professors of journalism of eighteen colleges and universities gathered here for the second meeting of the Ameri- can Conference of Teachers of Jour na1ism.
 1-The news sense, the ability to see what is new and it's meaning to the great mass of humanity, is necessary to men in every field of endeavor but especially to men who write.
 'tIt is the news sense which enables the writer to see through a mass of non essentials to the essential, through dead rubbish to living facts, through husks and shells to the kernels of truth.''' continued the speaker. t1t is the news sense that gives the writer understanding of and sympathy with common activities of men so that he can find what will interest them.
 With all it's faults, I still believe in the new style as the most efficient style of this modern day for present ing information through the written WOTOs ndS5 been Gd1IIu10T9d out III the heat and stress of newspaper work to meet the demands of millions for something to compel their attention, interest them and give them informa- ton in the quickest, clearest way pos sib1e.
 '-The news writer comes fresh from the things he wrotes and puts the energy and life or it may be the joy and sorrow of what he has just seen or heard, into the living, breathing words of his story.
 There is vital, living quality in news writing that attracts attention and grips the interest. It is of the people and for them and it has come through years to have a value that cannot be denied.
 'sThe ranks of present-day literary successes are filled with men and wo- men who had their training in the newspaper office. The demands of editors and publishers everywhere is for matter written in the same clear, concise, interesting way that has made the American newspaper the most readable publication printed either to- day or in any tiIne.''

CHARGES SALOON
 MAN HIRED "SLUGGERr

That Al. Carlson, proprietor of the Louvre bar. promised money to Red" Frank Lewis if he would "slug" George Kelso, was testified to by Fred Kelso, brother of George, in the police court before City Magistrate E. w. Petit this morning.
 The details cropped out in the trial of Lewis on a charge of assault and battery, sworn to by Fred Kelso. Ac- cording to the latter Red" made a mistake and slugged Fred instead of George, while the other was at the bar taking a drink Fred testified that he had never seen his assailant before, but when the latter landed on his jaw he mixed things. After the first heat ed round he proposed that they ad- journ to the sidewalk so as not to continue the row in a mans house. There the argument was renewed in a spirited manner Fred claimed that he slipped and that Red" kicked him in the neck
 A crowd quickly gathered, and Capt. J. T. Martin, chief of police, appeared promptly on the scene and took Red to the local jail.
 At the trial this morning the broth CTS corroborated each others testi- mOny as to the fight, and alleged that Carlson had hired Red" to do the slugging, because of a fancied friev- ance against George. Red" admitted he had been promised the money. but stated that no sum had been paid over to him. He said he did not remember much about the slugging match as he was drunk at the time. Magistrate Pettiit declared that it was an aggra- vated case; that the fact that a man committed a crime while under the influence of liquor was no excuse, and the further fact that the act in ques- tion was done under the promise of pay made it still more serious, and he would impose a jail sentence of 15 days and fine.
 Red" demurred to this and thought that Fred Kelso also should be tried for assault The magistrate told him that he could swear to a complaint against the other man if he so desired and he would then hear the evidence Red" also demanded to know if he could have a jury trial, and was in formed he could by putting up the jury fees in advance. Finally, after recon sidering the matter, and upon the ad vice of Chief Martin and the plea oi the Kelso brothers, the magistrate changed the sentence to $50 fine.
