The assets of this corporation were
impounded under the trading with the

Shielding Daugherty.
The defense position is that the
SAL 900 was not bride but fee.
The German capitalist, who was the
governments star witness, seemed to
be anxious to absolve Daugherty and
Miller of blame in the transaction.
Merton knew King was not a law

because of his influence with the adj

ceived $250,00O from the metal corpo-

Another surprise developed when
Steuer made it apparent that the two
defendants, Daugherty and Miller, are
not in accord on the legal tactics to
be adopted during the trial.
Steuer said he could not divine"
what Colonel William Rand, attorney

1T Is related that an ambitious young
writer once asked Horace Greeley
how to write successful editorials, and
the great editor replied
First find out how the cat Is GO
ing to jump and then tell the people
about 1t, but tell them first. That Is,
find out In advance what public opin-
ion and preferences are likely to be,
and then write accordingly. Keep your
ear to the ground and your pen in
your hand"
A similar idea is expressed by H. II.
F'razee. producer of No. No, Nan
ette," with respect to song writing.
'It is a matter of mass psychology
and careful observation" says Mr..
Frazee. Keep your finger on the
public pulse, If you want to write
popular songs. A composer must sense
in advance jlrst what the public will
demand. He must have the same in
stincts that guide the city editor of
great newspaper. The successful
editor didn't learn what he knows
from books, but by experience. sue
