NEWSPAPER PLANT GUTTED BY BLAZE ' MANY ABE KILLED Water Tank on Montreal Building Falls Through 5 Stories and a Conflagration Is the Result. FIRE WAS SO FIERCE LASTED BUT 2 HOURS Foreman of Composing Room Says 53 in His Department Were Killed Only a Few Bodies Are Found. (American News Service) Montreal, June 13. Twelve charred bodies have been recovered out of total casualties variously estimated from thirty to sixty, and a two hundred thousand dollar loss has resulted from a fire which destroyed tne building of the Montreal Herald this forenoon. Three hundred persons were trapped in the building and Foreman Taylor declares that fifty-three perished in the composing room alone. The fire was caused by a gigantic water tank on the roof, which being too heavy for the structure crashed through five stories. Twenty were seriously hurt and taken to the hospitals. The heaviest loss of life was in the composing and binding departments, fifteen girls being employed in the latter department. A melting pot containg molten stereotyping material, typesetting machines and other equipment were carried down with human beings into the press room and the paper stock department in the basement. All the engravers and one stereotyper were among the few dead that could be identified. Furniture, rolls of paper : and adds combined to produce the fiercest conflagration ever tackled by ' the fire department. The Herald was in full blast of. operation, being an evening paper, and the flames spread so rapidly and the destruction was. so tremendous that the entire disaster consumed but two hours in its frightful work.

NESBIT'S FOCUS

Most newspapermen know W. D. Nesbit. He has been breezing through life making this a happier and better world by his presence. Whether you consider his work in the humorous columns of the Chicago newspapers or the things which appear in the magazines there is something distinctively human and appealing in his work. . You would think that a man who contributes to the North American Review might be something of what the boys in the street call a "highbrow." . Try to get the angle and the focus on the statement that Mr. Nesbit spends two hours a day in thinking up advertisements for a large department store and going over their copy and receives a large salary for it. That means a lot of things.

Perhaps the first way to get at it will be to look at some of the advertising that has passed under his eye (that is before reading his verses d'societe or his appreciation of Mark Twain in the North American Review.) ,

There is a man-bird meet in a town not more than seventy miles away. 'An advertisement that Nesbit bad something to do with appeared this morning. One Woman to Another "Aren't those Aviation Meet posters charming? I can scarcely believe a man conceived the idea, for I've mentioned my admiration of the picture to several and they've scoffed at the possibility of courtship In an aeroplane. I'm sure It would be most romantic to go sailing op in the clouds with one's best beau. Anyhow I've begged a copy of the poster for my room to keep till the artist's "dream comes true. I hardly know which I'm the most interested in this week the man-birds or the Roundup Sale at Blank's. There's one thing sure I'm not going to miss either. The Round-up I know from experierce to be one of the biggest bargain events of the year. I haven't forgotten what gocd bargains I got in a similar event last year. Morning at the sale, afternoon at the "meet looks like a good program for any day this week." I

That One Woman To Another is a money making feature for Blank and Company it gives their adverrisement ATTENTION VALUE. It appears everyday. , s " It is constantly changing and is always LIVE COPY. Th subconscious effect of such advertising Is that THE MERCHANT KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON. Just follow that through. Aside from the attention value of that little commentary on affairs IT ARGUES THAT THE MAN IS AWAKE. Blank and Company aro AWAKE they make their advertising effective. -

Women are mighty entertaining because they catch the temper of the audience and talk, about things that are going on. Their styles of conversation like their frocks are of the LATEST pattern and material. Doesn't Nesbit catch their ear? It is a RESPONSIVE NOTE- Nesbit focuses his advertising.

Therein lies the true essence of newspaper advertising. Women read the newspapers and throw the hand bill into the waste basket. . The NEWSPAPER THAT IS TAKEN FOR ITSELF WHICH IS READ BECAUSE IT IS LIKED is the one of more than double the VALUE OF OTHERS. i People take the Palladium because they like it. If they want knives they will go to the store that advertises good ones. We are not in the hardware, but in the newspaper business. We publish a superior newspaper. -Two thirds of tne people nere abonts say so and back ft up with hard cashPeople bay the Palladium Just as they read Nesbit's advertisements. That Is the reason for results in both instances. ' The Palladium Is , the most EFFECTIVE advertising medium for miles around.

(American News Service) New York. June 13. Almost at the climax of a world-btartllng flight, Charles K. Hamilton, the little red-haired aerial broncho buster, after making a magnificent flight from New York to Philadelphia and accomplishing the greater portion of the return journey, was compelled to descend on the banks of the Raritan river, twenty-one miles from New York, because of some irregularity of his motor. Although prevented from making a non-stop return trip, Hamilton declared his determination to continue the trip to this city and up the Hudson river before returning to the starting point on Governor's Island. RACES WITH A TRAIN. Philadelphia, June 13. Chas. K. Hamilton successfully covered the S6 miles leg between New York and Philadelphia on his record-breaking flight between the two cities and landed safely at the aviation field at 9:29. The greater part of the way between New York and Philadelphia he was accompanied by the New York Times special train which traveled at a speed of 50 miles an hour. At times he exceeded . tbf speed fmade by he train, but during1 the greater part of the time he traveled high above it, occasionally falling behind. This is the greatest feat ever performed by., an American aviator, fol-

The average speed was 45.34 miles an hour. MAKES IDEAL START. New York, June 13. Under almost ideal weather conditions, Charles K. Hamilton, the "aerial broncho buster" set out today on his flight to Philadel-. phia and return a record breaking distance. - A gentle breeze, far below the 25mile wind which marks the danger limit to the aviator, was blowing from IUO UUIIUITVSi, Promptly at 7 o'clock he attempted to start, but a blade of his propeller snapped short. He descended and repairs were made with all 1 possible speed, a propeller being taken from the machine of Glenn H. Curtiss. As the man-bird soared up and swept over the crowded harbor scores of whistles saluted him. Thousands of persons were crowded along the waterfront, at the Battery, on boats and in the vantage places of the skyscrapers, and the rite of the plane was the signal for; tremendous cheering from the lower end of the Manhattan and the .waters abouts. '" Tries Out Machine. Gracefully the aeroplane circled, once over the aviation and drill field, at Governors Island, Hamilton seemed to be trying out the machine and getting the feel of the air in preparation for the long journey. Then he darted ahead, gliding easily and passed the statue of Liberty. Crowds of immigrants at Ellis Island watched him shoot anead. Then over the New Jersey line he crossed rapidly, aiming toward the Atlantic "Highlands down Sandyhook way. intending to pick up at Elizabeth, N. J., the special train chartered to accompany him. The first leg of the round trip Journey is 86 miles long. Before he went up, Hamilton said, "111 keep my schedule, if the present weather outlook holds good, and that will get me to Philadelphia at 9:25 a. m.. an hour and fifty minutes for 86 miles.
