NEWS GAIfIESING
IN THE METROPOLIS
HOW THE REPORTERS UTILIZE
THE TELEPHONE.
An Incident of the "General Slocum”
Disaster—How Newe About Elec-
t.on and Catastrophes Reaches the
Papers.
New York April 6.—"lf anything
happens jump to the nearest tele-
phone." That maxim if a book of
rules for newspaper re»ortcrs is ever
compiled will be Rule I. The news-
papcr man today wonders how his pa-
per gut along before ’.he telephone
came Into general use.
On some of the New York evening
papers there are reporters of the regu-
lar staff who do not see the office for
weeks or even months at a time Their
salaries are sent them by messengers.
They receive their assignments by
telephone and after getting their sto-
ries they telephone the facts to Lie
office. If the story is a particular
"rush" affair the reporter dictates in-
to the receiver to the man In the of-
fice who raps it off on a typewriter.
Such a reporter’s telephone tolls may
amount to as high as forty or fifty
"calls” a day Some of the papers
have a rule that every reporter must
call up the office once every half hour
whether there is any news to be given
or not Thus a city editor may keep
constantly in touch with fifteen or
twenty mtn "on assignments" and is
able to take a man from a comparative-
ly unimportant assignment and send
him ’’on the jump” to the scene of a
"big story."
For instance that pleasant spring
morning last year when the excursion
steamboat General Slocum burned
down in New York harbor and a thou-
sand lives were lost was rather a busy
one In New York evening newspaper
offices even before the disaster. There
wer e i score of small stories that had
to b- covered" and there were few
rep >.erg idle in the office when the
first “tip" arrived via police headquar-
ters that a horrible catastrophe was
occurring above Hell Gate. So that
when a reporter would call up on the
telephone to report on bis story a hur-
ried colloquy like the following would
occur:
City Editor: "Hello! who's this?"
Reporter: "This is Smithers. I’ve
got something on that fake banking
story and —"
"We don’t want it. Forget that story
and slide right up to the foot of East
138th street. The General Slocum is
burning down off North Brother Island
and we hear that womed and children
are jumping Into the water."
"East 138th street? All right."
"Wait a secod. Have you any
money? Yes; good. Hire a tug if
necessary. Telephone right off.
Gdod-bye.”
The reporter's first instinct on
reaching the water front and realizing
'he extent of the disaster was to "jump
a a phone” as the newspaper ver-
nacular has it. But the neighborhood
was composed of foundries and fac-
tories. there were no public tele-
phones and the manufacturers were
for the most part averse to permitting
strangers to use tueir instruments.
For a time the lack of telephones held
up the story while city editors in the
newspaper offices eight miles away
gnashed their teeth and tore their hair.
But one business man proved himself
to be possessed both of rare kindness
and commercial acumen. He had
opened a new stone-cutting plant near
the river with a big office building at-
tached. and in the building six tele-
phone wires had installed.
He gave his telephones to the use of
the reporters without charge. And
they were not ungrateful. For the
mention his plant received in the even-
ing papers was worth far more as ad-
vertising than the charge for extra
telephone tolls.
The telephone is furthermore in-
valuable in a newspaper office ini ob-
taining long distance news in a hurry.
It often beats the telegraph as it did
in many cases lakt November when
the long distance lines of the Bell sys-
tem were used for sending news of the
presidential election over the country.
Managers of the companies made elab-
orate arrangements to quickly transmit
the news both to the papers and other
telephone users. New York city was
the receiving headquarters with Chi-
cago a middle west station. Then
beadquarters were maintained in each
state. Messages from rural districts
were sent to these state centers and
they were later sent to New York.
From New York they were scattered
over the country consuming about
reven minutes in transmission. As
the Bell lines reach nearly 30.000 com-
munities In the United States this tel-
ephone election service brought im-
mediate nc»i from places which other-
wise would not have been heard from
until the next day and perhaps not
then it gave to editors the comfort-
ing assurance that In close districts It
would not be necessary to wait for
weary hours until the back towns were
beard from and besides that it kept
I the village weeklies posted as well as
the metropolitan dailies.
In the early morning hours when
the tension tn the newspaper office is
at its greatest the telephone is often
called upon to annihilate distance. For
Instance. a railroad snleshup on one of
the big lines that connect New York
with ’.he west "breaks loose" half an
hour before an edition Is due to go to
press. The tip will probably come to
the office from the "Jersey City man”
who telephones In that he hears of a
“wreck at Squantum Junction on the
C. & X. Several persons hurt." The
city editor has one of his assistants
call up the tallroad company's offices
in Jersey City for confirmation of the
report and then bunts up Squantum
; Junction in the railway guide. It is a
। little crossing about CO miles from
New York. It is not In the telephone
book.
"Hello long distance!" calls the city
editor taking the telephone receiver
You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles' Nervine brings
refreshing sleep because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
ery nerve in your body and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
"During the peet winter I bed twn
attacks of LaGrippe which left me
very weak and In bad condition. I
was ao n-rvoua I could not Bleep. My
wife after try|ng different remedies
went for a doctor. The doctor waa
out. and a neighbor recommended Dr.
Miles' Nervine and she brought homo
a bottle. I had not slept for some tlmo
and had terrible pains in my head.
After taking a row dooee of Nervine
the pain was not so severe end I
slept. I am now taking the second
bottle and ntn very much Improved.

"Give m e the nearest central to Squan-
tum Junction N. J.”
nl a minute the required central is
on the wire. Perhaps "Central” her-
self can give Information of the wreck;
at any ate she knows enoutfh of the
neighborhood to connect him with
someone of Intelligence near the acene
—possibly the railroad station itself —
and in a very short interval the news-
paper has a story comprehensive
enough to "make the edition” and the
paper goes to press on time.
By means of the telephone a news-
paper can seek out and keep in touch
with news when all other mediums
fail. When the British freight steam-
ship Drumelzier went ashore off Fire
Island in a thick fog early last winter
the New York papers had great diffi-
culty in getting any news at all for a
time. Fire Island winter wrecks are
the bane of the newspapers because
in winter the place is often almost as
inaccessible as the North Pole and far-
ther off in point of news-getting than
San Francisco or London. Two tele-
graph companies each have a wire
from Fire Island but when the Dru-
melzier went ashore one of these wires
had been put out of business altogeth-
er by a storm and the other was only
working Irregularly. One newspaper
which started to root out news of the
Drumelzier by telephone discovered
that Fire Island had no telephone ex
cept the private government line run-
ning from one life saving station to
another along the coast. But at
Quogue fifty miles east of Fire Island
and twice as remote as the latter from
the city the newspaper discovered
through the good offices of omniscient
"Central" that the life saving station
on the beach had a general telephone
connected with the Bell system In ad-
dition to the government wire. And
by putting questions to the life savers
at Quogue who were constantly in
touch with Fire Island on their gov-
ernment telephone the paper was able
to get the news it required. It was
merely a matter of telephoning an ex-
tra hundred miles.
The city reporter looks for a tele-
phone in a sudden emergency as a
starving man looks for bread. A re-
porter will almost “break and enter"
to get at a telephone if the matter Is
hot enough. Not many months ago a
reporter of a New York evening paper
was sent out in the early morning to
cover a local railway accident. When
he got on the ground he saw at a
glance that the story was a big one;
several cars were smashed us and a
number of bodies were removed from
the wreckage. The other papers were
ahead of him and each had several
men already on the ground. He looked
hastily for the familiar sign of the
blue bell. He visited in rapid succes-
sion one telephone in a cafe one in a
milliner’s shop and one In a drug
store. All were in use with other men
standing in line before him. In the
crug store he learned that a woman
who occupied a third ffoor apartment
above had a private telephone. He
oashed upstairs and rang the doorbelL
until a frightened maid appeared.
"I want to use your telephone" he
announced pushing past her.

Similar at a murder trial that has
attracted great public attention the
telephones in the court bouse and in
the neighborhood are besieged by a
crowd of reporters from the beginning
of tbe trial to the end. In the case of
some of the New York evening papers
that have frequent editions in all big
local trials the account of the court
proceedings Ie written out In full by
two reporters in the courtroom end
sent to the nearest telephone where
another reporter ig waiting to read the
copy over tbe wire Into tbe newspaper
office. At the office end of tbe wire a
man typewrites the story as it Is dic-
tated to him from the original copy.
Even when ths court boose is only
half a mile from the newspaper office
tnis method saves a few minutes over
tbe old-time scheme of sending the
copy from courtroom to office by mes-
senger. As soon as a big case goes to
the jury io New York a representative
of every newspaper and press associa-
tion preempts a telephone in the eourt
house or in a neighboring store. Then
each representative proceeds to “bold
down” tbe telephone until a verdict Is
reached when tbe verdict is "flashed"
over tbe wire into the office imme-
diately. Often within five minutes af-
ter the verdict is given the paper is
being cried on Park Row with the
news.. In tbe recent trial of Nan Pat-
terson for the murder of Caesar Young
in New York City some of the evening
paper men “held down telephones in
the court building for over twelve
hours continuously after tbe jury re-
tired to consider the evidence.
