Other Anecdotes Of Life.

"All right" said he, I'll 60 right U

TOXIC, February Is C4).--Masanao

at Washington, said today he was pro-
foundry moved by the death of Mel
vile e. Stone, organizer and former
general manager of the Associated Press
He recalled Mr.. Stones visit to Japan,
where, he said, "his personality made
an indelible impression"
He declared, "the spirit of fair play
which Melville Stone typified and with
which he imbued the Associated Press
won that organization a measure Of
confidence unique in world Journalism 4"
Profound regret for Mr.. Stones death
was expressed by Nippon Shimbun

organization was modelled on that of
the Associated Press.

. What Mr.. Stone regarded as one OF
his most important contributions to
journalism, and which effected radical
change in newspaper practice, was his
successful campaign to establish legally
the principle of a property right in
news For years he had contended that
the news gatherer should be protected
In the fruits of his own enterprise. The
unwritten law in newspaper Offices was
that news story once published, unless
copyrighted. might be resold and re-

Decides to Sell Interest.


At the age of 40 Mr.. Stone decided to
sell his interest in the Chicago papers
also to his partner. He had Ill health as
cause for retirement, but he was infiu-
enced more by desire to educate him
SELF more fully, for he felt that his
cultural training was not adequate for
the prominence and influence he had
achieved. A satisfactory price was ar
ranged and Mr. Lawson gave him $780,
600 additional to remain out of active
Journalism In Chicago for 10 years. A
two-year trip with his family to foreign
lands followed. ~.
Upon his return to Chicago in 1890,
however, he could not escape business
and public honors. He was made vice
president, and a year later president, of
a newly organized bank, treasurer of
the Chicago Drainage Canal without
compensation. president of the Bankers
Club, president Of the Citizens Associa-
ton, president of the Civil Service Re-
form League. vice president of the
Union League, a member of the select
Commercial Club, and a member of the
board of governors of the Chicago Club.
He declined Q nomination for the may
orally of Chicago.
Returns to Journalism.
In 1893 there came a call back to
Journalism which meant more to Mr.,
Stone than all of these honors. The
first Associated Press, which had been
organized among New York City papers
In 1848, had been menaced by a grow
ing rival known as the United Press
To meet this competition those in the
management of the Associated Press
had purchased privately controlling
interest in the United Press and made
a secret arrangement that the two
should work in harmony. The existence
OF this pact was revealed in 1892 when

York Associated Press and the Western

with aches, pains, swollen joints or
stiffness a single day, so they must

rheumatic troubles, neuritis, neural
