MUNSEY DREAM
OF OWNING 500
PAPERS Barred
History of Many Big Deals
Detailed in New Book
by Frank 0'Brien.

BJ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-The late
Frank MunSey dreamed of owning
a chain of 500 newspapers. but he
died the owner of but two out of the
many he had bought and sold,
Frank M. O'Brien revealed in a new
book, 1.-THE Story of the Sum-" pub
liShed today.
The book tells the romantic his
tory of the New York Sun from 1888
to 1928, and the names of Dana,
James Gordon Bennett, Munsey and
other famous figures in journalism
parade through its pages. A chap
ter dealing with the period during
which the Sun was under the editor
ship of Charles A. Dana is perhaps
the high point Of the book.
But getting down to more modern
times, it takes up the story of Mum
Sey and reveals figures and facts
on Munsey's many dealings in news
papers never before made public.
One Startling Deal
Perhaps the most startling of the
figures show that in 1916 Munsey
bought the Sun and the Evening
Sun from William B. Reick for
$2,468,0O0.
From that beginning, Munsey
built the New York Sun, which he
owned when he died, into one of
the most valuable newspaper prop
critics in the country by series of
mergers which startled newspaper
men the country over.
Prices figuring in other Munsey
newspaper deals include: Bought
Washington Times in 1902 for $780,
600; bought Boston Journal in 1902
for 100000; bought New York News
in 1901 for 100000; bought Balti-
more News in 1903 for $1,500,000;
bought Baltimore American and
Baltimore Star in 1921 for $780,
900, combined them with the News
and sold the merged paper in 1923
to William Randolph Hearst for
$3000,O00.
Bought Many Others
Then he bought the New York
Press in 1912 for 81 ,00O 900; bought
New York Herald, including the
New York Telegram and the Euro
pean edition of the Herald, from
James Gordon Bennett trustees for
$4000,000; sold the New York Her
aid, including the European edition,
in 1924, to Ogden M. Reid for S.
100000, after Reid had refused to
sell to him Reds New York Trib-
une.
Bought New York Mail from
Henry L. Stoddard in 1924 for 81
100000 and the Globe in 1923 for
$2,000,000
When Munsey died he had Sold
or eliminated through mergers all
of his papers excepting the New
York Sun and the New York Tele-
gram.

ROBBER KICKS
VICTIM IN FACE
Pair Force Three to Floor,
Escape With $148.

Brutal bandits" are the latest ad-
dition to Indianapolis crime world.
Two men entered the Office of the
c. L Mcpherson Coal Company, 1924
Southeastern Ave-, late Thursday.
Drawing revolvers, they ordered all
present to lie on the floor.
Mcpherson and an employe, James
Johnson of 1859 Southeastern Ave,
did not move fast enough to suit
the pair and one of the bandits
kicked the proprietor in the face
and johnson in the side. A GUS
toner, Roy McCallie of 422 S. Rural
ST., already was lying down.
The bandits escaped with $148,
taken from the safe.

church is losing its grip. This is
not the case. The church is more
powerful today than it has ever
been.
DAY attendance at church is
good but I unhesitatingly say
that people are not interested in
church on Sunday night. The
theater has a lot to do with it
and the automobile has had a
tremendous influence. In fact,
Sunday school and church work
has been cut a third by this
alone"

writes Mr.. Hodge. Managers
make the same complaint when a
play they put on is a failure.
Make the churches attractive
in respect to the message they
bring and the problem of the
empty pew will be solved. Religion
is serious business, to be sure,
but when it becomes serious it is
apt to become dull.
1.-THE religious speakers should
advertise what he is going to talk
about the same way as a plays
title is advertised-in electric
lights if necessary.

However, the church appeals
now, as it always has, only to
certain class of people-those men
and women who take life seriously
and regard it as a real RESPONSE

Tabernacle Presbyterian Church
"Right-with some reservations.

Il agree that far with Mr.. Hodge.

Gotta pipe on the advice Of friends.

5TH MEASURE
FAILS TO GET
PASSING
Retirement Rights Are
Granted Disa bled
Officers; Bull ding
Program Is Enacted

WASHINGTON, May 24.-tP)-Ths
senate INDUCED In a field day today
at the expense Of President Coolidge
overriding in less than two hours
the vetoes which the house had at
tached to four legislative accomplishs
ments. "A fifth attempt failed.
The Tyson bill TO grant retiremene
rights to disabled World war emer.
Eency officers; the Oddie bill for a
$1O,50O,000 building program on
Western public lands; the bills call-
ing for increased pay for night postal
workers, and 20 grant fourth class
postmasters rental, fuel and light al
lowances were all passed over execu-
tive disapproval. Finally the Steck
bill to establish the position Of band.
master in the army failed to gain tha
two-thirds majority necessary. Tha
postal bills became laws, because tha
house had previously overridden the
president. but house action still must
be obtained on the others.
The vote on the Tyson bill was 66
to ia. on the 0ddie bill 81 to 22, on
the postal salary bill 20 TO and on
the fourth class postmasters measure
63 20 III.
During this unprecedented attack
on presidential authority only one
voice was raised i'm defence Of Mr..
Coolidge. and that came from Bruce
of Maryland, n democrat. He Thoughts
perhaps the senate was a little too
precipitate and that more consider
alton should be given the chief eK-
ecutive. He added. however, that
perhaps the president might have
been guilty in this respect.
The five measures on which the
senate acted were placed before the
senator's in quick and orderly man
ner. first the postal bills, then the
Oddie measure, next the Tyson bill,
and finally the measure of Senator
Steck, republican. Iowa, for the band
masters post. BY the time the Steck
measure obtained consideration, how.
ever. the senate had apparently tired
% discarding presidential advice and
turned that piece OF legislation down.
although a. voted for 1T and 80
