The Old Press Agent
ly KKANK Tltiri'
Amur Oakley was the producl of
the old lime preu niirnl, bill once
ahe bit Ihe hand Ihn'. pelted her u
prominence. "Little Hure Hhol"
tiinird her itunx on Uint which mnde
her. Hhe turd ft nirliiK of nrwa
pnier ftcrou Uie country.
Annie wna the world! grenlral
woman marknman of her lime,
probably of nil time. Her face hnn
been revived by "Annie Clet, Your
dun." now plnylnir on llrondway.
Hhe wna iW of lluffnlo lllll't
Wild Wel nl Uie turn of the cen
tury. Annlefc ftklll wnx her own but her
fare wu Uie creation of n maater
pretm agent, Major Jamea M. Uurke.
lie ilao "made" Uuffnlo Hill.
Being toa ox a crack ahot, Annie
had tmllnlnra. When one of them
fell Into Uie nrw In unfavorable
light, youngatrra of Uie preaa con
fuaed her with Uie genuine Annie
and got Uielr pntiera Into Uouble.
Annie Uxik lo Uio ruad to collect
b-'m from thoae who had lauded
her lo famo and fortune.
Preu men of thai day looked upon
H u ft shabby repudiation of oorl
of llceiue which preaa agrnu grant
ed Uie preu In behalf of Uielr
ellenla: In return for which they
pre-empted plenty of audi license
for Uienuelvex. Annie collected all of
tlx cent from my paper.
When I wax ft preaa agent and
ragged Imprexarlo several Wild Weal
ahowa toured the country. There
were Col. William K. Cody, "Buffalo
Wll"; Major Gordon Llllle, "Pawnee
Hill"; Colonel Cummlnx' show and
Miller llroa.' 101 ranch. All exhibited
In great open areas with only canvas
aldewnlls and canopied covering for
Ute customers.
A greater shot than Annie Oakley
was Johnnie linker. Cixly's foster
son. I last saw Johnnie when we
lranrd over the fence surrounding
Buffalo Hill's grave, looking down on
Denver, and discussed with Kred
Iionflls Wyoming's scheme lo move
the old scout's grave lo Cody, Wyo
ming. The old time press agent was
s great an Innlltutloii as the show
llsrlf. Major Uurke was a master but
not Uie peer of them all, P. T. Bar
niim's Tody Hamilton wna ns great.
As lale as my day the lovable
liars carried on the tradition. All
were Uio predecessors of those gen
tlemen who now oierate from Ivory
towers nt high retainers under the
title of public relations' counsel. My
brst friends among Ihem were Dex
ter Fellows. Doe Waddell. Lester
Thompson and Ed Norwood, who In
vented "Dlggledy Don."
Of these, l)cx Fellows was tops
bul lo mo Doc Waddell best cx
. empllfled Uio crnft. Ho wore Uie
uniform, so lo spenk. Ills garb typi
fied his profession. The most con
spicuous purl of It was Uio gay ker
chiefs which he wore In place of
collar and tie,
Asked why lie wore Uiem, he
replied, "because everybody else
wears collar." That retort ex
presses the whole philosophy of Uie
old press agent. Ills aim was to do
the unusual mid conspicuous thing.
I first mot Waddell lu days when
I silt besldo David Delnsco, Wlnchel
Bmllli, Jerome Kern, John Ooldcn
and Uio minstrel kings and saw
them put the finishing touches on
their producl Ions which wero yet to
be seen on Broadway. Days viien I
stayed Into the night In some bar's
back room with Victor Herbert and
his cello.
Billing Bull was befuio my lime,
hul I had a grunting octiunlntiinco
with Clcriinlmo, vicious Apache In
dlnn chief and raider, who was
paroled , 111 Col. Cummins' custody
for palefiuicH to aeo at the Pun
American In Buffalo In 11)01. They
pinned these stories on Doo Waddoil
way back then:
A squaw was taken nick mid an
ambulance on inn to take her to a
hospital. Quick as a wink Doo saw
the chance for nationwide publicity
He told reporters thai Oerohlmo
had an argument with Uie squaw
"and she got hurt." The story was
printed with pictures and put on
Uie press wires. Government ngrnts
showed up ami Cummins had
hard time to keep Geronimo with
the outfit.
Doe then went with Bostock's nnl
mal show. He conceived the bright
idea of having a boa constrictor
"escne" nnd offered n $WKJ reward
for Its return. Hlorlrs about the
snake spread for days. II was "seen"
In nil parts of Buffalo. Ponple were
a aid lo go out nl night. The pub
licity gut hoi and had to be ended.
Doc sent two showmen to ft swamp
with ft valuable boa constrictor to
make fake capture so Buffalo
could slrep again.
The snake got away from them
and w-aa recovered by two genuine
captors who produced II and de
manded the reward. Doc was "at
liberty" again.
Things arc more serious and less
phony today, people are moro so
ulustlcated nnd editors more fussy
but lot of fun and glamor passed
out with Uie old Unit preu agent.
A father anil sou from Han DIcko
who pleadrd guilty U) forging sev
eral checka hero earlier this week
win d sentenced to long terms lu the
Oregon statu penitentiary this
morning by Circuit Judge Uuvld K.
VaiiUriibcrg.
Harold Charles, 47, waa handed
a lb-year sentence and his sou,
Arthur Charles, 'itt, seven years,
Both admitted forging Ihe iiiiino
of Dr. George If. Adler to several
checks passed here last Monday
and nlMj to writing many bad checks
lu lit lu r cities lu the past f c w
wri-ka.
lint fiilliii' mi I (I he hail been In
trouble before lu Bun Dlegu for
forgery mid Unit lie hud spent 21
months on road gang In Califor
nia for uol supporting his wife. The
young muii said lie waa on proba
tion from two-year Michigan pri
son sentence for forgery.
After passing sentence on the
eldrr Charles, Judy.c Vandruberg
told the man thai ft "father who
would do whul you have admitted
line uiislslliig his son toigr checks)
doesn't deserve lo be out In public
anytime.
Ihe elder Charles told a deputy
Inter thai ho "deserved the 15
y-ars. "
Donald Willurd Cox, 21. who
pleaded guilty to burglary, was sen
tented to two years In prison this
moinliig. He udmltud being In
gang of young boys and girls that
robbed several service stations and
other bunlness buildings here In the
past few monllis.
Cox also admitted raping two
minor girls, crimes which have not
been retried.
An 18-yenr-old boy who was with
Cox 111 the burglaries and other
crimes was put on probation for
five years because of hln age. The
yo.ith, Samuel John Pool, had also
pleaded guilty to burglary.
Pool, after being given five min
utes lo "think It over." furnished
the court with the name of a man
whom he said had been making a
good buslnesa of buying beer and
liquor for minors.
Conditions of Pool's probation In-
nunc oriers thai he not smoke,
drink, frequent drinking places,
that he work steadily and that he
be at home every night at 10 o'clock.
The boy admitted burglarlrlng a
service station operated by a
brother-in-law. who has offered to
lake him Into his home to live.
A third youngster In the tame
burglary ring, tonard Lee Brown.
17, was given a Juvenile court hear
ing yesterday afternoon, and was
remanded to circuit court where he
may stand trial. Morals charges are
also held against Brown.

IN the lust wur, poison gus wus not

Why?
The answer Is simple. Everybody

there was the certainty that It

Once the use of poison gas as a

where it would end.
