How long do the Rock Island

local park in the past few weeks!

Out of IA hits, Rock Island got but

for this. He pulled some of the rawest
stuff of the season in yesterdays

Showing q complete reversal OF
form, the Islanders downed the speed
ing Hannibal Mules in the opening
game of the present series yesterday

the veteran Billy Neal and timely hits
of Whitaker's slants enabled Bays
men to turn the trick. The Islanders
virtually had 10 men to beat, as I'm
pire CASTOR pulled some of the raw
est stuff seen here this year all for
the benefit of the visitors. The Mules
were leaderless yesterday, Manager
Ted Waring being confined to his room
at the hotel with an illness.
Neal really deserved a shutout, a
mutt by Biltz paving way for two runs
in the eighth. Errors by Erlewein and
HOllOcher did not prove costly. A
sensational running one-handed catch
of Nicholson's fly in the fifth by Nc
Bride featured. The catch cheated
Nicholson out of a sure three-b Dagger.
Ward was also credited with a great
One-handed stop and Morrison made q
splendid running catch of Listers

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR PAPERS
WITH FREE PUBLICITY POLICY
Government Starts Investigation Of
"News" Story of Auto Company Not
Marked advertisement"

Free publicity and news" stories
printed about advertised articles in a
newspaper, and not plainly marked
'adverstiment,' are under considera-
ton by the postoffice department,
with the possibility of prosecution I'M
der the Burne act of August "a, 1912.
The inquiry now being instituted
among twenty-five or thirty-five news
papers in different cities is as to
whether a reading notice was publish
ed because advertising space was pur-
chased or promised and whether or
not the same notice would have been
published had not the advertisement
been printed or promised. This brings
up the whole question of free public
ity. If the news" stories are con-
fined to those who advertise, and it
appears that they are printed in con-
sideration of the purchase of space in
the advertising section, the failure of
publisher to mark the notice lad

department, requires an explanation.
The letters sent out hinge on

MANY PAPERS BEING KILLED
BY HIGH PAPER COST
Witnesses Tell Federal Trade Com
mission That Price Must Come Down
To Save Others.

WASHINGTON-Many newspapers
have been forced out of business by
increased paper prices, and hundreds
have no chance for survival unless
there is an immediate reduction in
the cost, according to witnesses who
testified before the hearing of the
federal trade commission here. Most
of the newspapers of the country, in
Guiding some 10000 small dailies and
weeklies, were represented.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
the manufacturers proposed to meet a
committee of the National Newspaper
Publishers association to work out, for
the commissions approval plan for
an equitable distribution of the stocks
of print paper.
Investigators for the commission
presented interesting facts uncovered
in their inquiry into newsprint paper
1t was shown that the output has
grown, although growing consumption
has taken up much of tire increased
manufacture.
