along Park row croak that the pro-
fession is deteriorating and that the
reporters Of today are not as able
and resourceful as they were ten or
fifteen or twenty years ago. They
forget that times have changed and
that methods of news presentation
have changed with the times. The
writer ventures the assertion that
there are today on the newspapers of
this city men more able than the
average run of good men in the days
gone by.
1t is probable that the reporters of
ten years ago had "A wider aCquaint-
anceship than the average reporter
of today, but New York has grown so
rapidly that it is impossible i'm these
times to know and reach, for infor-
nation purposes, so many men as In

Where DO They Go?
What becomes Of the reporters?
Well. they do pretty well. as a general
to editorial positions. Many more
forsake the business in answer to in
sistent calls for their services In the
business or political world. There Is
something about a newspaper train
ing, with it's varied angles and its all
embracing activities. that makes
spheres OF life.
Aldermaplc President McAneny was
once a reporter on the World. Fire
Commissioner Adamson and Joe
Johnson OF the public service COM

psychical asset instnctively adopt the

to reporters, but to all editors engaged

"FirC FiCnd."
The unwritteu annals of Park row
bristle with almost unCanny instances
of the aid the reportorial sixth sense
has rendered the newspaper men.
Reginald Foster of The World staff,
in his active reportorial days, was
known as tho "Fire Fiend" because
of his extraordinary luck in being
present in the early stages Of big
fires.
He was in a telephone booth in the
Windsor hotel, talking to his city ed
itor when the fire started which de-
stroyed that hostelry, with great loss
Of life. He was passing the Seventy
first Regiment armory when the fire
started which destroyed that building
and spread to the Park Avenue hotel
across the street These are but two
instances Of many in which Foster
beat the engines to great and disas-
trous fires.
Fill Sheppard of the United Press,
now in Europe as a war correspond
ont, obeyed the newspaper instinct
when he went out of his way one
spring Saturday afternon to take a
walk in Washington square and STUN
bled onto the Triangle shirtwaist fac
tory fire just as the girls were be-
ginning to jump from the windows.
He has never been able to tell what
pulled him i'm the direction of Wash
ington square that day and enabled
him to score great beat for his or
ganiZation.
The writer was in st. Louis in 1896,
and his newspaper sixth sense fairly
dragged him to the weather Observa-
tory i'm the Federal building tower,
from which he viewed a few minutes
after his arrival, the passage through
the city of the most terrific tornado
that ever wrought destruction In the
Mississippi River valley. Again. in
1906 the writer. Obeying an impulse,
changed his plans for a hot summer
evening and went to Madison Square
Roof garden, where he saw Harry
Thaw shoot Stanford White.
1t will probably be said that these
are instances Of good luck. Nothing
of the sort. The list might be eX-
tended to fill columns of space.
