EDITOR MAGE KILLS MAN
in FIGHT WITH EX-JUDGE

John 3. Lassetter of the New Mexi-
co state highway department, of
Santa Fe, was killed at the Meadows
hotel in Las Vegas shortly after 8
o'clock, Friday evening when two bull
lets fired by Carl c. Magee, editor of
the State Tribune, at former Judge
David j. Leahy OF the fourth judicial
district, struck him.
The shots were fired from the floor
of the lobby by Magee while Leahy
was kicking him violently in the body,
according to the first reports. Judge
Leahy is said to have attacked Magee
and struck him to the floor while he
was debating a story to Mrs. Bernice
Huyck, newspaper woman.
Leahy, after knocking Magee to the
floor is said by witnesses to have fol-
lowed the attack up by kicking him in
the body. Magee fired one shot, which
struck Lassetter in the arm. He fol-
lowed with the second and third bull
lets, both of which struck Lassetter,
who had jumped in to pull Judge
Leahy from the prostrate body of Ma
gee.

ADVERTISING DID IT

Wrigley, the chewing gum man,
has explained how he built up a
business of millions of packages a
day.
He has done it by sticking to his
one line and advertising it. He
spends over a million dollars a
year in buying newspaper space to
tell the world about scent chewing
gum. He has educated people to
chew gum and to chew Wrigley's.
He did not stop shouting as soon as
he attracted attention.
He says you must keep it up or
the buyer will forget you. Whether
yours is a Scent or a $4,000
business, keep telling about it.

"To-day the woman who IL az
the head OF a home on the Ave-
nue. desires to be relieved from her
pressing servant problem and from
the responsibility Of managing
complicated establishment. People
or taste and means are gravitating
towards the hotel idea although at
the same time they wish to. retain
q home atmosphere. The home
apartment is the compromise be-
tween the huge establishment OF
yesterday and the hotel OF to-day.
1t Is luxury with n minimum OF
service responsibility. The servant
staff may be radically reduced with
the conveniences offered by the

Mr.. Matchette, capitalist and in
ventor of vacuum cleaning. the
servidor and other nationally.
known appliances is the one who
leased the site from the Pennsyl- \
vania Railroad for the Pennsyl.
vania Hotel in 1916. At that tins
the railroad would not authorize
more than ] 1000 rooms but he per-
suaded them by a study OF the
number of people passing through
their station to build a hotel 501o
larger than any other hotel In thei
world, containing 1900 rooms and
representing an investment for
building. land and equipment of
some $20,000,000. How we'll his
Judgement is indicated may be-
noted from the fact that the year
he leased the hotel (1916) fourteen
million passengers were handled |
through the Pennsylvania station. /
while last year over thirty million
people passed through the ter

Of this great Pennsylvania Hotel.
Mr.. Matchette organized q Re-
search Bureau to bring to light
every new thing-the last word in
hotel planning. construction and /
equipment;- calling in for CONSUL
tation the prominent engineering
authorities throughout the country
for counsel. AS result it is now
conceded to be one of the best !.
planned and most efficiently oper.
ated hotels in the whole country.
This is also due to the master mind
OF Z. M. Statler. head of the New
York Hotels Statler Company, to
whom Mr.. Matchette leased the
great hotel during its construction.
In building his home apartment
on Fifth Avenue, Mr.. Matchette
adopted the same searching in
vestigation methods he employed
in planning Hotel Pennsylvania
with tn result that his multi
family building represents the final
word in the highest class buildings
of this type.
