MORNING JOURNALS HABIT OF PILFERINC
CAUSES IT TO FALL" FOR FAKE STORY

When Gutenberg. the pioneer,
blazed the trail which leads to the
of today, he probably real
lied that "pilfering news" would be
one of the high crimes in newspaper
dom, but possibly did not feel it nee
essary to advocate special laws and
penalties for the offense, believing
that the Ten Commandments, espe-
cially the admonition delivered to
Moses on Mount Sinai which reads,
Thou Shalt Not Steal" and the tru-
ism that Crime brings its own pun
ishment," would be sufficient.
The Morning Hotel News had rea-
son to believe that from the first its
early press copies would be secured
by the Morning Journal for real and
last-minute news, so that when the
Morning Hotel News, through its di-
rect telegraph service, obtained the
latest news the Journal could have
the benefit of the same by reprint
without credit.
On the morning of January there
were printed four advance proofs
of the Morning Hotel News, which
were not official; one of these proofs
was placed so that the Journal would
find it, and what was supposed to be
a beat" story was reprinted in the
Journal Sunday morning and received
a six-column black-faced type head
ing. Instead of the Morning Hote
News receiving credit for carrying the
story the very issue of the Journa
carrying the pilfered story carried al

editorial condemning the Morning
was fit matter for the waste-basket.
The Morning Hotel News begs to
advise the public that Mr.. Rockefeller
is not dead; in fact he is enjoying his
usual health, and no telegram was
carried over the wires stating that he
was reported dead. The fake story
was written in the Daily News office
and printed verbatim in the Journal.
Knowing the proclivities of the Jour
nal for pilfering news the trap was
set Saturday night by the boys" who
get out the Hotel News. They ar
ranged an elaborate front page proof
with purported report that John D.
Rockefeller had died. The trap is
an old one that has often been sprung
in the past where it is known that an
unscrupulous newspaper is pilfering
news. A newspaper that verifies it's
stories would never fall" for it.
The Morning Hotel News will con-
tinue to print more news than any
morning paper in Daytona. Its paid
for telegraph service will be superb,
and will convey to you direct from
New York the latest accurate news,
the same as furnished the papers in
your home city. 1t is not free pa
per; a copy is delivered to guests of
the various hotels with the compli-
ments of the managers of the various
hotels; to others who desire it, Is
cents per week will insure its delivery
anywhere in Daytona.
