Publisher Forced Company
To Give Him Wire—Told
Father Of His Daugh-
ter's Safety.
NEW YORK. June 13 (AP)-
Some indidents in the human side
of The Associated Press were de-
scribed Wednesday by N. A. liuse of
the Executive staff of the General:
Office. In a radio address over sta-
tlon WJZ. He said in part:
Learns 0f Tornado.
“The publisher of a daily news-
paper at Norfolk. Nebraska. opened
his eyes one Monday morning at the
unusual hour—even for a newspaper
man—of 4 a. m.. and found him-
self so wide awake that he could
not go back to sleep. Prompted b.\'
a strange impulse. he dressed and
went to his office. arriving at 5:30.
long before sunrise. On the way he
met a cab driver who said it was
rumored a tornado had struck
Omaha and that many people were
killed. This particular newspaper
publisher was the Norfolk Nebraska,
member of The Associated Press and
his paper received its daily tele-
graphic Associated Press News over
a leased wire working out of the
Omaha bureau of The Associated
Press and when he heard the tor-
? nado rumor his first concern was as
i to how his telegraph report for that
day might fare in such an emergen-
cy.
l “lie immediately got in touch with
‘ the company from which be leased
[ this wire and was told they had not
. n sincle wire into the city of Omaha
‘ ill’il‘l that nobody knew how serious
.the situation was because it had
I been impossible since the night he-
i'ore—~which was Easter Sunday in
1913-10 establish communication
with the stricken city. He was in-
formed heroic efforts were being
made to get wires up. but there was
no way of knowinx how long his
newspaper might be without a. tele-
graphic service.
"Just at that moment this pub-
lishcr heard a telegrapher’s instru-
ment in the office of the wire com-
pany clicking a call from Omaha.

'Isa't that a call from Omaha now i'
he asked.
"Tel. that's the first time we‘ve
had Omaha since last night.‘ the wire
official said. ‘but we can't give you
that wire because one of the bi!
packing concerns leases many wires
from us between Omaha and Chi-
cago for transmission of their priv-
ate market business. and we are in
duty bound to give them the first
available wire. We will hook up a
circuit for them through Norfolk.
by way of St. Paul. Nina. and down
to Chicago.‘
uets Packer's Wire.
"The newspaper owner countered
this way: ‘Do you mean to say with
Omaha laid low by a tornado and
with hundreds or thousands of hu-
man beings either dead or injured.
and people all over America in tragic
suspense as to the fate of their rela’
leH‘l and‘ friends among Omaha's
300,000 people, that in those circum-
stances you are going to turn over
_\ti‘.ii' one wire out of Omaha to a
pig-sticking concern instead of to the
Prcas'.”
"You win.’ said the wire official.
and out of Omaha began to flow the
most dramatic and tragic story of
its history. The Norfolk publisher
was able to quickly issue an extra
on his own account and then. in
turn, telephone the list of dead and
inlurcd to newspapers at Sioux CRY.
larva. whose publishers were also
members of The Associated Press.
and from that point the story found
an outlet over leased wires to a thou-
sand other Associated Press news-
papers in America. and to points
throughout the world.
"The publisher of that Nebraska
newspaper was under no contractual
obligation to seek a means of giving
to a thousand other newspapers the
details of this important news story
which. through fats. had come to
him exclusively. As a member of
The Associated Press he was obli-
gated to furnish to all other As.
sociatsd Press newspapers any news
originating within 30 miles of his
city but Omaha was 120 miles dis»
tent and this story was his private
property if he wished to treat it as
such. But he did seek a way. and
find it. to broadcast the news to
fellow-members of The Associated
Press everywhere that their news-
papers might inform a waiting world
and he felt the thrill of having per-
formed (without proiit to himself)
a worthy service to his Associated
Press and through it to the public.
She Was Safe.
“While The Associated Press wire
was carrying to Norfolk the pressing
details of the storm's havoc—nearly
200 people were killed and a. thou-
sand hadly injured—and with every
$3.923 ,. / .
split second on that lone wire worth
lie welght in radium. the Norfolk
newspaper publisher received a tele-
phone cail from a man at O'Neill.
Nebraska. eighty miles away. who
said: 'We hear there has been a
terrible storm in Omaha. My is
year old daughter is in school at
lirownell Hall. Omaha. We can get
no message to or from her. ls there
any way in the world that you can
help us and out whether our little
clrl is alive or dead?‘ And there
was.
"The Associated Press member in-
terrupted the news dispatches that
were unfolding the story of Omaha's
tragedy and asked The Associated
Press bureau chief in Omaha to dis-
patch a messenger to Frowncll Hall
to get the desired information. With-
in an hour a note Went over the
wire to Norfolk that the little girl
was safe and a moment later her
father in O'Neill had that message.
"I tell of this incident to show
that The Associated Press. even in
the stress of gathering and dis-
tributing the vital news of the world.

is still an association of human
logs with a composite human heart."
