EDITORJS DEAD
Was in Charge ol the Chicago
Daily News
Chicago, Aug, 20. (F Victor Fre
mont Lawson, one ef the greatest
and one of the last of American's
pioneer jorunallsts. Is dead.
The editor and publisher of the
Chicago Dally News died last night
at his home on Lake Shore Drive
after an Illness of only three days of
i heart ailment from which lie had
suffered frequently in recent years.
Foremost among the exponents of
untalned news, one of the founders
of the Associated Press, and owner
of one of the greatest newspaper
successes on the continent, his death
marked the passing of a premier
newspaper figure of the last, century.
The same indomitable will and
courage that marked his efforts In
building a great metropolitan dally
and in fighting through the years
for clean, unbiased news pages, sus
tained the 73-year-old publisher in
the last hours.
He died peacefully after fighting
gallantly to within a few hours of
of the end with the same fortitude
that had enabled him to fight off ill
health for years In order to go daily
to the downtown office of his paper.
Mr. Lawson became seriously ill
only three days ago, although he had
not been in robust health for years.
It was a recurrence of myocardlties,
the heart ailment from which he had
suffered frequent attacks for years.
His associates said that overwork
had contributed to his condition.
Ignored Doctors' Orders
Given strict orders by his physi
cians to remain In bed, the man who
for nearly half a century had direct
ed the destinies of a great journal
and kept in closest touch with its
every activity was unable to stand
the enforced inactivity.
Against the advice of doctors, he
Insisted on getting out of bed Tues
day and sat. up for a time. Yes
terday morning he had a relapse
and for a time It was feared death
was imminent, but he rallied and
later in the day appeared much bet
ter. It was not until late last eve
ning that he suffered a sinking spell
from which he never rallied and he
dted . peacefully at ! o'clock, sur
rounded by a few of the lifetime as
sociates of his newspaper and his
niece, Mrs. Clarke N. Tavenee of
Chicago.
Besides his niece, only four other
relatives survive, a brother, her of
San IHego, Calif., and a brother-in-law.
William Harrison Bradley, and
two nieces, all of Ridgefield. Con
necticut. Funeral arrangements will
not be made pending receipt of the
wishes of these distant relatives. Mr.
Law son's wife died in 1914. They
had no children.
Mr. Lawson, the son of a news
paper man, was one of the tint ad
vocates of a low-prlco'l ii"wspaper,
and the ide-a. gained him both suc
cess and wealth. The Chicago
Dally News vvas th". first western
paper to make a success as a penny
sheet.

Mr. Lawson waa a native fthtrn.

the son of Iver and Mellng Lawson.
He was educated at Phlllpa Acad
emy, Andover, Mass., and returned
to Chicago to learn the rudiments of
the newspaper business under his
rainer, wno estatMlsnea the Scandi
navian. Unon the death of the
father, Mr. Lawson assumed charge
or tne publishing business. He was
thus engaged when he met Melville
K. Stone, later associated with Mr.
Lawson In the publication of the
News and afterwards general man
ager and now counsellor for The As
sociated Press.
Mr. Stone established the fh
News, rented Quarters in the Krun.
dlnavlan office to iret out. TiU
and published the first Issue Christ
mas uay, 1875. Shortly after Mr.
Stone's two partners sold out to him

Soon afterward he changed the
name of his morning paper to the

capital stock of a par value of $2,
300,000. One of the principles to which Mr.
Lawson always attributed the suc

features, particularly those of inter

short stories, anecdotes, table re

Primary Campaign Has Reached
Rally Stage Today
New Tork, Aug. 2" Wl As the
municipal primary campaign plung
ed into the rally stage today, the re
publicans were on record as regard
ing the breach In democratic ranks
a.s a fight between Governor Smith
and William Randolph Hearst for
conlrol of New York delegates to the
next democratic national convention.
The views were expressed hy
Charles D. Milieu, republican na
tional committeeman and city chair
man. "Hearst. Is consumed by his ha
tred of Governor Smith," Mr. Hilles
said yesterday In a speech in behalf
of Frank D. Waterman, organization
republican to,- mayor. "Smith is de
termined to unseat Mayor Hylan and
Hearst. A democratic leader of Stat
en Island Is reported as saying that
this is a fight to determine who will
control the democratic party in New
Y'ork; that if Senator Walker wins
in the primaries. Governor Smith
will name the delegates to the dem
ocratic national convention tn 1!28.
whereas if Hylan wins. Hearst will
name those delegates. That is the is
sue. "Tammany Is responsible for eight
years of municipal rule so bad that
even Tammany cannot, stand for it.
Are we to abandon the city to the
gentlemen of Fourteenth street
(Tammany Hall) who are now en
gaged In scuttling their own ship?
"Why should Hearst, be vindicated
and decorated Hearst who was hos
tile to Kngland, who damned roy
alty, w ho. was..recelved. by the king,
and who now buys a castle in Ire
land '.'
"What interest have our 6.000,000
people In the personnel of the dele
gation to the 1528 convention? Why
should our citizens elect a city ticket
for the sole purpose of enabling
Hearst, Hylan'S absentee landlord, to
hand-pick delegates to the successor
of the Madison Square circus of
1?24?
William M. Bennett, one of two
republican insurgent candidates,
however, charged Mr. Hilles with
pursuing a "rule or ruin" policy
which will acuttle as well the repub
lican ship. Mr. Bennett denounced
the "socialistic" schemes of munici
pal transit ownership advanced by
Mayor Hylan and Senator Vialker.
with ths Rav. Dr. Norman Thomas,
ha said, there are tn reality three
Socialist candidates in tha field.
Mayor Hylan In reply to the dec
laration of principles of his tarn
many opponent, Btate Senator James
J. Walker, charged the latter with
responsibility for the overthrow of
the stats home rule amendment to
the constitution.
As Senator Leader, the Mayor as
serted, Walker permitted the change
In the wording of the amendment,
which caused it to be -declared tin
eonitltutlonal. Mayor Hylan ssld there was noth
ing new In Senator Walker's advo
cating municipal ownership and op
eration of transportation systems,
he five cent fare, more subways,
schools and parks.
"It is a substantial endorsement of
the present city administration,"
the executive said. "I do not have
to make any such declaration be
cause everybody knows I have
fought for and put'many of the pol
icies in effect."
Senator Walker Is expected to re
ply tonight at the opening rally of
the Tammany ticket in the first as

'Kilocycle' Taking Place
of hc Word 'Wavelength'
Washington, Aug. 20 (ft A new
world "kilocycle," gradually is taking
the place of the word "wave-length"
In the vocabulary of radio fans. The
department of commerce explained
in a statement today that the mark
ing or logging of dials la found to
have certain advantages in new term
kilocycle, which means frequency,
or the number of waves per second.
"Just as a musician." the depart
ment said, "can vary the number of
oscillations of his vocal chords, but
cannot control the length of the
sound w-ttves, so a radio station can
vary the number of oscillations per
second, and let the wave lengths N
what they will,
"To obtain the frequency when th
wave length In meters is known di
vide SOO.000 by the wave length in
meters. The answer is in kilocycles.
Likewise the other way round, di
vide 300,000 by the number of kilo
cycles to get meters."
