Lincoln.

Orders for the flight were pre-

Mitchell contends that Lansdowne

before the court that a protest was

10000. It's circulation Is more
than double that of the next
largest New York evening news
paper, and is not far from the
combined circulation of all other
New York evening newspapers.
THE Evening Journal is the
most widely read and the most
widely distributed newspaper in
the densely populated sections of
