Bottle Found With
Note Purporting to
Be From Miss Doran

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A up ~ A
bottle with note in it purportihg to be
from Miss Mildred Doran, Flint, Mich,
school teacher who disappeared with
the plane named after her in the Dole
flight last August, was found floating
off Point Fleming, near Albany OPP
posite the Golden Gate and on the
San Francisco bay today.
The bottle was found by Karl Oel-
rich, II, of Albany and turned over to
the authorities for investigation. The
note was written in pencil on a sheet
of paper torn from small note book.
The writing was that of a woman,
small and delicate, but ungrammati-
cally worded. This fact cast doubt
on it's authenticity because Miss Doran
was well educated and spoke and wrote
the English language well. The mess
age read as follows:
Tuesday, August 16, 1927-on sec
ond day-not feeling SO good. Engine
still missing but the boys say it will
get better after it runs awhile. But

ship. First sign of life since we left
the islands at S. F. behind. Gosh.
Seen what might have been a flaming
plane fall to it's doom.

of sight did a nose dive but all right

i Governor William H. Adams of
Colorado, Governor George W. P.
Hunt, of Arizona and Commissioner
John L. Bacon of California ali dis
sented from the view that nothing
could be accomplished by the confer
ence. The Colorado river executive
suggested that the three lower basin
states representatives return 60 their
respective homes to confer with their
constituencies, while Governor Hunt
and Commissioner Bacon evinced a
Willingness to continue the parley in
definitely.
Three times commissioner Charles
p. SquireS Of Nevada, sought to
bring the Pittman States rights reso-
luton to a vote, once being fore
stalled by Governor Frank c. Erner-
son of Wyoming, who insisted upon
consideration of the water division
question as the next order of bust
ness. Questioned regarding their
stands, however, none of the three
lower basin states had anything to
add to the proposals already offered.
1t was indicated that water division
easily would be settled when power
had been disposed of.
The resolution, declaring for state
ownership and sovereignty over all
streams and for the principle of state
compensation for the use OF lands
and waters used in dam construction
by the federal government, was adop-
ted without a negative vote, Cali
fornia, however, refraining from
voting.
Governor George H Dern, of Utah,
chairman, took Arizona and Cali
fornia to task at the start Of the
session by declaring that neither
showed an inclination to concede any
thing in the interests of a tri-state
agreement.
81 am disappointed, he continued,
because there is no spirit of give
and-take. This conference basically
was called to test whether states can
settle their interstate problems with
out outside interference. Those re-
sponsible for the failure Of the con-
ference have struck a blow at the
American system of government and
have invited the federal government
to usurp state authority"

RE|''C'E'SS WITH
NO AGREEMENT

. DENVER, Oct. 4, characterized
as ga battle of dollars and cents"
by Commissioner w. r. Wallace, Of
Utah, the seven state Colorado river
conference late today recessed until
November after four and one half
weeks of negotiations without an
agreement.
The motion to recess with view
to further conversations looking to-
ward tri-state lower basin compact
on water division and apportionment
of hydro-electric power benefits was
fought by United States Senator Key
Pittman of Nevada who contended
that further negotiation was useless
in consideration Of the respective
adanant stands of both California
and Arizona.
ARIZONA predicates its agreement
on water division on an agreement
respecting revenue from hydro-elec-
tric power" Pittnan pointed out,
.sand California will not treat on the
question of power until it has re-
ceived assurances that the admin
istration in Washington will support

place where these questions can be

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
O~ we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantl-.
sometimes rccklessly. =.

Mr. Haywood Broun, who has con-
Quoted what is known as column"
in the New York World for a consid-
cradle period of time, no longer writes
pieces for Mr.. Pulitzer's well-known
newspaper. There seems to be con-
siderable of reason back of this sew
erance of relationship.
Mr. Broun, noted as clever deal
er in words, has leaned to the radical
side of things and his change of re-
lationship will be banded back and
forth in the little circles of the clois-
ters and along coffee shop row in all
the villages wherein the World cir
culates. 1t is, therefore, subject of
some interest.
Mr.. Pulitzer and Mr.. Broun seem
to agree pretty well as to the reasons
why Mr.. Broun no longer writes
pieces for the World.
Mr.. Broun wrote about the Sacco-
Vanzetti case, expressing an opinion
with what Mr.. Pulitzer describes as
"the utmost extravaganza"
Mr. Pulitzer declares Mr.. Broun
was asked not to write on that subject
any more, that Mr.. Broun insisted
upon writing about it and that the
World then, exercising its right OF
final decision as to what it will print
in its columns" stopped printing Mr.
| Broun's work.
Mr.. Broun says he has three-yeai
contract, but doesn't know what his
future work will be.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-09-02

There is a sharp distinction between
printing news and printing someone's
opinion. Mr.. Broun's writings do not
constitute news. A newspaper has a
real duty to print the news, even
though it hurts the owner. A case in
point is that of the Washington Post,
whose owner, Mr.. Mclean, was wit
ness in the Teapot Dome investigation.
Mr.. McLean's own testimony, and all
other testimony relating to his con-
duct, was not pleasant for Mr.. Nc
Leans newspaper, yet it was news
and his newspaper was in duty bound
to print that news without regard to
owner.
But newspapers engage writer's,
such as Mr.. Broun, much as theaters
engage vaudeville acts-for their en-
tertainment value. This is true, even
when they believe the work of these
writer's also has an ethical value to
the readers. The owners or editors
believe these features will attract
readers. That is why the New York
World engaged Mr.. Haywood Broun,
who has written lot of entertaining
copy and a lot of slop.
Of course we have the big business
newspaper and the consolidation
question before US. Individuals and
groups are coming into vast control
of the news and undoubtedly they have
great power to form public opinion by
their selection of news, or their sup
preston of it. Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Paul Block have each taken another
step in consolidation. Each has bought
two newspapers and made the two
into one in Pittsburgh. Each has
great power, and greater now than
before. But that is another question.
And a most important one.
But there are some 800 labor publi-
cations in the United States. There
is nothing to prevent their consolida-
ton, if one choose, or if someone can
bring it about. Of course that will
not be brought about, but the right
to do it exists just the same.
Moreover, each labor editor has and
uses the right to bar things from his
paper, just as<Mr. Pulitzer did in the
case of Mr. Broun.

tion as to whether there is freedom of

hair and declare that Mr.. Broun has
been muzzled, choked, throttled, and
his brain children held in durance
vile. The capitalist press will be ex-
coriated, denounced, berated, and
lambasted. Here is another horror of
capitalism to pillory upon the topmost
hill to be lesson to all and sundry,
particularly sundry.
However, there is Mr.. Pulitzer's
side to the question. This gentleman,
scion of newspaper genius, states
profound truth when he says he ex~
ercised his right to have the final voice
as to what goes into his newspaper.
He has that right. He ownes the pa
per. There can be criticism of his
judgment, but there can not be fair
condemnation of his exercise of a
clear and unequivocal right
AS long as we have privately owned
newspapers, which will be a long time,
owners will have the right to say what
goes into them. And there can be no
quarrel with that right, except the
quibbling, carping quarrel of those
who quarrel with the institution of
private property itself.
