DAILY NEWS MAKES EXORBITANT CHARGE FOR COUNTY PRINTING (Continued From Page One.) vertislnj in the same spuce than, ff larger type had been usijd.. The News, however, used brevier type, a larger measure, and its till was based on the amount of space fyied by the advertise ments printed In this larger type. The bill of the Oregonlan for J1S40.25 was based on the rate of $1 an inch. The rate 6f 2 cents per Inch per insertion for each 1000 of nowspaper circulation Is considered a fair rate. As the Oregonian has over 50,000 circulation, this Is a Just rate. The bill of The Journal for ?13fi4.20 was based on a charge of SO cents an Inch. As The Journal has a circulation of approximately 45,000, this is a rate of less t fi a n J cen'Ts prT themsand of circulation. On the basis of 45,000 cir culation, it Is a rate of 1 7-9 cents per thousand. The Evening Telegram In presenting its bill for J 1363.10, charged 5 cents per agate line for a total of 27.262 neat lines. In one Inch there are 13 i?,':ite lines, giving a total of 20US.07 Inches. For this, the charge was 65 cents an Inch. Having approximately 35,000 cir culation, the Telegram's charge per thousand of circulation on this basis was thus less than 2 cents. 70o An Inch Asked. Measuring up all the advertising It printed In brevier type, which is con siderably larger than the agate used by the other papers and consequently re quires more advertising space, The News turned In, a bill for I192G.40 for 2752 Inches. This was more than 700 inchfs greater than the measure for the same advertising by The Telegram, the news paper using the next greatest amount of space.

The throng which' watched the funeral was nearly as great as that which attended the obsequies of the dead mikado. As the gun carriage on which Nogl's body was borne to the tomb was fol lowed through the streets of the city by the hearse containing the body of his devoted wife, hundreds of thousands stood in dead silence as the cortege passed. Nogl's pallbearers were admirals of the navy and generals of ths army of Japan, while In the funeral procession marched scores of Japanese nobles and a regiment of infantry acted as escort to the dead Samurai, who shed his own life as a last tribute of honor and re spect to his dead emperor.
