CUB SCOOPS NEW YORF
LeRoy Blonchard Tells of His First Big Assignment
"It's a great boost to a cub to get a really big assignment early in the game," said Mr. Frank Leroy Blanchard, editor of The Editor and Publisher this morning. "I will remember my first assignment that I had with Mr. William H. Vanderbilt. You remember that Mr. William H. Vanderbilt died suddenly at about four o'clock in the afternoon. He was president of the New York Central railroad and his death was necessarily a disturbing factor in Wall Street. The paramount deceased was Jack Jay Gould the precise effect that Mr. Vanderbilt's death would have on the market.
I went to Mr. Gould's residence on Fifth avenue. He was at dinner and I had to endure that memorable agony of waiting which every young reporter has suffered. Mr. Gould was reputably a man of few words. For example, he was able to extract anything from him but a non-committal 'yes' and 'no'. At last for some unaccountable reason, he loosened up and gave me quite a healthy interview. His judgment was, that since the property and stock was so well organized on such an uneasy basis, his bilt's death would have no disastrous effect. Subsequent events proved his prophecy.
When I left the Gould home there was a small r mayfoor **fileiEAT** was a small army of reporters standing out in front clamoring for entrance. Mr. Gould didn't see any of them. Since my story was the first one, I wasn't too sure tan dallies had to print it in the original form. It was dispatched all over the country and needless to say that one help helped to make me."
Newspaper Week Briefs
Frank P. MacLennan, owner of the Topeka State Journal was among the arrivals yesterday. Mr. MacLennan is one of the leading Kansas newspaper men who rarely misses a newspaper gathering at Lawrence. One reason perhaps is that he is a graduate. He is a chemistry. He is at the Beta house. Mr. MacLennan was not a charter member of the Kansas chapter of the Betas but he was the next best thing—the first member initiated.
Joseph A. Borden, secretary of the United Typetheta and Franklin clubs is the retired owner of a big printing establishment at Spokane, Wash. Back in the "Airly" days he ran the Colby Free Press.
E. P. Mickel, secretary of the Nashville, Tenn. Printers' club, and another one of the newspaper week speakers, came to Kansas in 1870, learned the printing trade and soon became a printer at Neoho Falls. Another distinction which Mr. Mickel has is that he recites Riley poems in clever style.
William Allen White last week made the boast that no other Kansas paper had more "graduates" on the Kansas Editorial Association program than the Emporia Gazette. The Emporia entries are Roy Bailey of the Salina Journal, Rolla Clymer of the Olathe Register, Ralph C. Hemenway and John Redmond of the Burlington Republican.
Harry Harte, of the Dodge City Globe, who is among the visitors used to play football under Bert Kennedy when he coached the Jayhawkers.
E. L. Hunter, who is editor of a weekly at Weeping Water, Neb., is among out-of-date men in Law-ware out-of-state because he was on the program.
Dow W. Busenbark, registered at the journalism building as here from the people's Herald at Lyndon, Kansas, has been a resident of Lawrence during the past winter. His son Ross Busenbark is business manager of the 1916 Jayhawker which was placed on sale this morning.
Harry W. Boueck owner of the Crawford County Enterprise, not so very long ago worked in the composing room of the Topeka Daily Capital. He felt the call of country journalism. First he bought a half interest in the Alma Signal and later secured the paper at Giard.
Representatives from firms manufacturing printing machinery, and from paper houses are thick on Mount Oread this week. Most of them are distributing their libraries along the campus along with the advertising cards of the candidates before Thursday's student council election.
Lem Woods of the Chanute Tribe has a double reason for being here. One naturally is to attend the newspaper festival in Nashville, where he is with his cousin, E. P. Mickel, of Nashville, Tenn., who is on the program.
The Kansas Agricultural college is represented here by George S. Strother, of the Aggie school department of printing.
duties as a K. U. senior to attend the meetings this week. Dodderidge launched into the new/paper business during the past summer. He wanted to complete his school so he hired a man to run his paper for him.
Bill Kercher, former Topeka correspondent of the Kansas City Journal and now publicity man for the Bell Telephone company arrived yesterday. Kercher has the reputation of being the best glad hand artist among Kansas newspaper men. A handsake from Bill Kercher is an event.
Oley Weaver, editor of the Sedgwick Pantagraph, although a comparative youngster among Jayhawk men, has made an enviable reputation as a paragraph writer. Tonight he will enjoy a reunion with a former instructor of English at the political college, Clif Stratton, now political writer for the Topeka Capital.
John S. Gilmore, youthful owner of the Wilson County Citizen, is a real friend when it comes to driving automobiles. He is the owner of two and Fredonia folks brag about John's driving when they go away from home.

The Cimmarron Jacksonian is the euphonious name of the paper owned and edited by Elmer Peterson who arrived yesterday with his wife. You guessed it wrong, Mr. Peterson is not always a Democrat.
