night to turn out the paper and then
sell it on the streets this morning in

1t was the third time In three years

Press so that the women might put
some Of their ideas into the makin

The women editors placed the ac-
count Of the Jack Sharkcy- Harry

bigger news than a win for Wills
would have been" II the negro had

said.
Most crime news found tho waste

Because yesterday was holiday,
there was no New York stock market

cording to Mrs. Springer, who did not
care to publish accounts Of what she
termed "a gamblers market" Other
