PRESS ASSOCIATIONS NOW CLASH—
DOLLAR A WORD STORIES STOLEN
<u
NEW YORK.—The Associated
Press through Melville E. Slone, its
secretary and general manager, ap
plied recently to Judge A. N. Hand of
the federal district court for an order
permanently restraining the Interna
tional News Service, which is eon
troled by William R. Hearst, from us
ing in any way news gathered by The
Associated Press for the sole use of
its members. In his affidavit tiled
with the court Mr. Stone called atten
tion to the fact that the governments
of England, Franse and Canada had
expelled the International News.
Since its expulsion, lie alleged, it has
been helping itself to news jja'iiti ed
by the plaintiff, sometimes at an ex
pense as high as a dollar a word.
Mr. Stone made the charge that the
International News Servicen had ob
tained some of the Associated Press
news by bribery of employes and
through wrongful and illegal methods.
The news so obtained, the affidavit
said, were delivered to newspapers
that were not members of Th Assoc
iated Press at a less price than it cost
to gather it, thus inflicting financial
Injury tn the plaintiff.
Efforts to discover where the leaks
came from resulted in th? informa
tion, Mr Stone Hahd, that some of the
news cam on of the office of one of

its members, a newspaper in Cleve
I land, and found ils way into the pos
j stsion of the International. To sus
I tain this statement, Air, Stone 'inserts
in his application to the court a .'otter
or memorandum alleged to have been
written to Barry Ferris, manager of
the New York office of the Interna
tional Service, to F. H. Ward, its rep
resentative 'in Cleveland. The Assoc
iated i’ress will contend that the let
ter was written for the purpose of in
structing Mr. Ward as to the methods
employed by the International News
Service in obtaining the news of The
Associated l’rcss. The letter is dated
Nov. 25, 1916, and reads in part:
"Agnew had an arrangement some
where in the Ceveland office whereby
he could tip us off on big news storise
that the A. P. was carrying. I wish
you would find out from him just
what this connection was and 'if you
can make use of it. It proves very
valuable to receive a tip on what the
A. P. is carrying as soon as it puts
it on the wires. Don't metnlon the A.
P. 'in any messages of that kind, but
simply say, 'Ansonia carrying fifty
dead, Pennsylvania wreck near Pitts
burg,' or whatever it may be."
Mr. Stone referred in his applica
tion to an Associated Press cable from
London on Nov- 28, telflng of a Zep
pelin raid on the northeast coast of
England. This cable, he said, appear
ed in a Washington newspaper The
Herald, which was not a member of
The Associated Press. Another story
gathered by The Associated Press told
of the torpedoing of the steamship
Chemung, and eonta'med some re
murks made by Capt. Duffy of the
ship. This tory appeared, Mr. Stone
declared, in The Evening Journal, The
Washington Herald, and The Roches
ter Herald, together with the remarks
of Captain Duffy. These newspapers
are not members of The Associated
Press.
Judge Hand ordered the Interna
tional News Service to show cause
why it ehoud not be permanently en
po'ined from selling news collected by
the plaintiff. The order was served
on Solomon S, Carvalho, president of
the lnternatioa News Service, at his
home in the Bronx,

ALASKA NOTES
Ajrbor day will be celebrated in
Seward this year by the painting of
a number of spruce trees along the
streets and flowered shrubs in the
■ yards. The movement is under the
j auspices of the Seward Civic League.
The Alaska Engineering Commis
sion is planning to ope nthe govern
ment railroad from Seward to Mile
71 iis tiie earlies possible moment.
The big rotary snow plow will be
brought into use and the line cleared
of accumulated snow.
No danger of anyone going hungry
for the next few weeks, regardless
of war, the high cost of living or
Weather—ithe oolikan are running,
says the Seward Gateway. No, an
oolikan 'is not a breed of racing dog;
it’s a fish. (This for the benefit of
the cheoehakos.) Good catches of
the succulent candle fish, or “hooli
gan,” as this member of the smelt
. family is more gonuironly known,
| are being made every day, and if
you have not had a mess, why not
take a keg hoop and a little mos
quito netting and go after some at
the head of the bay?
George Zeiglcr, for a long time con
nected with the Juneau water system,
died recently at the Momlngside Sani
tarium. Mr. Zeigler became mentally
unbalanced last summer due to extra
work during the cold spell of last win
j ter and was committed to the asylum
i last October.
For the second time within a month
George Hinton Herny, of Fairbanks
editor of the Socialist paper, has been
arrested for criminal libel. The com
plainant in the second case is Mrs. J.
H. Caskey, wife of the editor of the
Alaska Citizen. Henry was arrested
but released on bonds of $1,500.
The supply of hay and grain for
horse feed is running vrey low in
I Fairbanks, and a serious shortage is
expected before spring. More of these
have been used this winter than ever
bfore and although the dealers laid in
un unusual supply last fall is has been
practically exhausted.
A San Francisco dispatch of Feb
ruary 4 states that a new trial has
been ordered by the United States
circuit court of appeals in the cose
of Daniel Callahan of Fairbanks,
convicted of a crime against a half
breed girl, and now confined at Mc
Neil island. Arrangements are being
made looking to his release on ball
pending the new trial.
Since the order went into effect on
the government railroad prohibiting
the shipment of any lquor consign
ments to the Interior^ sled travel
between Seward and Mile forty has
Increased says aGteway. So many sleds
came and W’ent between trains dur
ing a ’recent thaw that the dogs
and sled runners pushed snow on
the rail*, .which froze over night,
making hard going for the train next
day.
The Democratic divisional commit
tee of the Fourth division, at Fair
banks, Feb. 6, indorsed two candi
dates tor office. They were L. T.
Erwin, for reappointment as United
States marshal, and rtobert J. Som
mers, the Fairbanks superintendent
of tho Alaska road commission, who
was indorsed for territorial surveyor
general, to succeed Charles E. Dav
idson. The records of the meeting
will be sent to the territorial chair
man with the recommendation that
these two men be named for the pos
itions to which they aspire. The
indorsement of Mr. Sommers was
unanimous, all six members of the
I committee casting their votes In his
favor. But one member of the com
mittee cast his vote against Marshal
Erwin. The vote of E. W. Griffin,
! whose proxy was held by John Moe
j was the one cast against Erwin.
