Ethridge says, However,
Free-Press Principle
Remains Firm.
By the Associated Press.
ASHEVILLE. N. C., May 20—A
round of speeches and discussions with
reports on classified advertising and
engraving plants, were heard by dele
ates to the thirty-fourth annual con
vention of the Southern Newspaper
Publishers’ Association before adjourn
ment early this afternoon.
Mark Ethridge, general manager of
the Louisville Courier-Journal and
Times, spoke on "The Changing News
paper." He said: “There have been
many changes during the past 25
years, but there has been no change
in the principle which guides the pub
lication of a successful newspaper:
That principle which dictates that the
newspaper must have adequate re

handle it and courage to comment
upon it. frankly, unafraid, unawed and
unsubsidized."
James E. Chappell of the Birming
ham News and Age-Herald, newly
elected president, and other officers
discussed plans for the coming year.
The Board of Directors was expected
to be instructed to select the 1937
meeting place at a later date.
J. F. Donahue of the Tyler (Tex.)
Telegraph and Courier-Times, led a
discussion on photo-engraving plants,
and H. W. Connell of the Beaumont
(Texas) Enterprise and Journal, di
rected talks on classified advertising.
Ethridge criticized low salaries in
Hews departments, saying:
"There is no substitute for intelli
gence in news rooms, and there is no
way of securing it without fraying for
It. It costs you money not to have it.”
He urged Southern newspapers to
lead in a fight for a "better South."
He went on: “There never were so
many challenging problems for the
South to meet. Whethe.r we realize
it or not. whether we like it or not,
we are undergoing social revolution in
this part of the country; a revolution
that, if we have courage and intelli- j
rrer no fruiHp it., will brinsr us in to
fairer fields and better days. I am j
against bloody shirt sectionalism, but j
I do say in all seriousness that there j
has not been at any time a greater j
challenge to intellect of Southern |
editors or greater opportunity for eco
nomic and political guidance than
there is now."

American Co. and other stockholders
since the date of the merger.
In other words, the North American
Co( daring the last two and a half
years has received about $126,800 from
its holdings in the local transporta
tion field.
As against this profit, more than
$5,000,000, taken from cash on hand
at the time of the merger, has been
invested in new equipment and plant
improvements. Presumably this
money, or a substanial part of it.
could have been used for payments
of additional dividends if an attempt
had been made to “milk” the local

of that expression.

baiis rather than attempting to “take
everything out and put nothing in.”
The key to North American con

30! per cent of the stock of the

another holding company. Washing- !
toft Railway & Electric Co. controls
abiiut 57 per cent of the common

the North American Cc. would not
look with favor on any disposition of
the transit system that might im
pair their control of the power com
pany or adversely affect the status
of the traction lines as a customer
of the Potomac Electric Power Co.
In entering the local utility field,
the North American went into the
open market and purchased stock
necessary to control the Washington
Railway & Electric Co., with control
over the profitable Potomac Electric
Power Co., rather than transporta
tion, as the major objective.
Prior to the merger, there were two
major systems of street railway and
bus transportation in Washington—
the Capital Traction Co. and the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.
Becomes Holding Company.
Under the terms of the merger, the
retired from the transportation field, j
becoming purely a holding company,
and was given 50 per cent of the stock
of the new company. The remaining
seven per cent of its new company
stock, sufficient to assure control, was
acquired through its ownership of a
small block of stock in the old Capital
Traction Co.
Therefore, as the situation stands
today, North American, through its
control of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co., controls 57 per cent of;
the stock of the Capital Transit Co.!
Washington got its first street cars!
in 1862. when the horse-drawn line
to the navy yard was opened by the
Washington & Georgetown Rail
road Co.
A dozen or more street car lines
and omnibus routes had come and
gone by 1895, when the Rock Creek
Co. acquired the Washington &
Georgetown Co. In preparation for
this important consolidation, the Rock
Creek line had changed its name to the
Capital Traction Co., and thus was
born the best and probably the most
profitable street car line in Washing
ton's transportation history.
Crosby Gains Control.
In 1895. two strong groups of cap
italists—O. T. Crosby of New York.

reaching out for Washington public
utilities. After a bitter battle, Crosby,
in 1897. acquired the Potomac Electric
Power Co., and in 1899 the Washing
ton Traction and Electric Co. was
organized to secure a controlling in
terest in mo6t of the traction com
panies that were not already in the
Capital Traction Co. group.
The Washington Traction & Electric
Co., with Crosby at the helm, then
controlled 12 traction lines and two
power companies.
Within two years, however, this
holding company was in receivership,
but since it had contributed in a
large measure to improving the service
so far as the public was concerned. 1
no great opposition developed when
Congress was asked to authorize a
re-organization which by 1902 had
resulted in the incorporation of the
Washintgon Railway & Electric Co.,
giving Washington the two traction
companies which operated without
interruption until the merger of 1933.
The city got its first real bus line
n 1921. when William Elkins Reed
vas given a permit to operate. He
founded the Washington Rapid Tran
sit Co. and was its president for some
;ime. although he sold his financial

has been charged that in several In
stances one company would institute
bus service merely to keep a poten

The result, of course, has been po«

The Public Utilities Commission
which was not created until 1913, ha.
been working to bring some measuri

fusion.
The final merger of all the transi
units, it is believed, will prove ma'

Will Washington mothers follow
Mrs. Roosevelt's precedent of sending
books to the National Training School
for Oiris?
Books, as the old Egyptians put it,
are "hospitals for souls," and books
of all descriptions are a pressing need
at the training school. Dr. Charles T.
Warner, rector of St. Alban’s Church.
nih A Hoc hsan nrl/lraceinrr i Via rrtt. aa!
two Sunday afternoons monthly for
20 years, emphasizes this need.
Not a penny of District funds has
been spent on books in the history of
the school. Dr. Warner says. No funds
ever have been avallrble for that pur
pose. Public library discards make
up the slender collection on institu
tion shelves at the moment, he de
clared. and although the public libra
ries have sent what they can. the
majority of the volumes are written
for children rather than the 14 to
22 year olds at the training school.
, The list includes many murder mys
teries, but few educational books or
copies of literary classics designed for
. the young.
Since Mrs. Roosevelt has so recently
■ displayed her sympathy for the girls 1
confined in the poorly equipped insti
, tution. Dr. Warner wonders if other

Points to Need.
[ “I have always regretted the slender
i reading resources offered training
school girls," Dr. Warner said, "and
would join the staff of the school in
. being grateful to any one adding to
: the practically non-existent library.”
In anticipation of a new’ stock of
books, contributed by friendly Wash
ingtonians, the school has already:
appointed a librarian. She is termed |
the "bookworm" of the school and
was engaged yesterday in arranging
| j a cataloguing and lending system that
' j will be ready when the first book ar
i rives.
I Books on travel, biography and his
f tory would be particularly acceptable.
Dr. Warner says. And ask school au- j

one has an encyclopedia not in use!
Reference books an dictionaries are

day motored to her Hyde Park home
and continued with her many activi
ties and household duties without
making comment on her Injury.
President Learns Facts.
President Roosevelt, who never lets
a week go by without calling up his
mother either at Hyde Park or New ji
York City, was conversing with her
over the phone Monday when, in re
sponse to his inquiry as to how she
was feeling, she responded something
to the effect that “I haven’t been
getting around so well lately.”
When questioned by the President
as to what was preventing her from
getting around as actively as usual,
she answered In a casual tone to the
effect that she was "slightly handi
capped.”
When pressed by the President for
further details, his mother then told
him about the fall and the subsequent
results.
It Is said at the White House today
that when the family physician
examined Mrs. Roosevelt last Mon
day it was discovered she had an
impacted hip and a cracked bone.
Mr. Roosevelt, on learning this, has
been wondering Just how his mother,
despite her strength and vitality, has
been able to walk around and keep as
busy as she did for six days with such
a serious Injury.
IN JUKI NOT PAINFUL.
HYDE PARK. N. Y„ May 20 UP).—
Some one who said she was a house
guest said over the telephone today
that Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt was
"as gay as a lark” despite injuries
which confined the President’s 82
year-old mother to bed in her home
here.
The fact that Mrs. Roosevelt had
been injured in a fall while visiting
"Sistie” and “Buzzie,”her great-grand
children. in New York City last week,
was disclosed in a White House an- j
nouncement today,
