i ie Ton REPORTED VIGOROUS _ ~ YELLOW JOURNALISM TYPE _ _ JUST ONE EXAMPLE _ ROW NEWS S FAKED per men looked up. Sure enough, &here was a little hole. ""That story," he said, "came out of that little hole." New York‘s police new commissionâ€" er, Joseph A. Warren, who took office a few days ago, has made to importâ€" ant announcements that contain much food for thought. One is that he will not have the usual twiceâ€"aâ€"day conâ€" ferences with newspaper representaâ€" tives, and the other that he will not use the P.D. (police department) shield on his private automobile, which is tantamount to discouraging The following from the Christian Science Monitor illustrates how some metropolitan newspapers fake news: its use on the private automobiles of other and lesser police officials. Mr. Warren holds that the use of the shield should be confined to official and emergency purposes, and he can find no reason when using his priâ€" vate car for emergency operating any more than any other citizen. Might Aid "Faking"* Regarding the twiceâ€"aâ€"day conferâ€" ences with newspaper men and womâ€" en, Mr. Warren holds it is unnecesâ€" sary and may have a tendency to add to the "making of news" when there is none. He states that he will be glad to see members of the press when there is need for it, but that the holding of the morning and afterâ€" noon audiences, when there is nothing of especial importance, does not conâ€" tribute to the welfare of either the public or the police department. In this connection the story of the Baltimore newspaper man who was sent out to "get some kind of a story from the police board" is recalled. The reported called on the secretary of the board and inquired if it was true that a big "shakeâ€"up" was imâ€" pending in the department. The secâ€" retary, somewhat at a loss for an answerâ€"for a change in the board‘s plans was not even a remote possiâ€" bilityâ€"answered that there was no shakeup pending as far as he was inâ€" formed.

Then he began to write. For threeâ€" quarters of an hour he wrote, stopâ€" ping occasionally to gaze at the ceilâ€" ing and returning to his typing with renewed power and inspiration. That afternoon there appeared on the first page of his paper a twoâ€"column story concerning "possible" changes in the police department personnel It was "possible," the story said, that Capâ€" tain Brown would be changed from the Central to the Northern district; that Captain Jones would be transâ€" ferred to the Central from the Weetâ€" ern, and that Captain Smithâ€"the names are used arbitrarilyâ€"would be changed to some other district. It was as complete, although illogical, a reorganization of the department as could ve desired, and at the end there was a statement that the secretary of the board was unable to confirm the reported changes. The same evening the morning newspapers crowded about the secreâ€" tary and asked about the "shakeâ€"up." Who had given it out" What was there to it? Where did it come from? The secretary glanced at the ceiling for some seconds while the press men Is IN FLOURISHING STATE Swedish art today is in as vigorous and flourishing conditien as that of any other country in Europe, was the statement of Dudley C.
