DEW IN NEW YORK Had Been Suffering From - Peritonitis Following an Operation on December the Fifteenth. NEWSPAPER WORK I WA£ OUTSTANDING Deceased Was Ope of the Best Known Publishers in the World, Owning Many Newspapers. New York, i>ec. 22. — OP) —Frank A. Munsey, newspaper publisher, died shortly before 7 o'clock this morning in the Lenox Hill Hospital. Mr. Munsey had been suffering front peritonitis which developed fol lowing an operation for appendicitis on December 13th. Up to the\ last his physician held out hope for his recovery, but early today he spffered a sinking spell and the end came with in a short time.. At the bedside were William Dewart, Mr. Munsey's general man ager; Mrs. Dewart, F. A. Walter, Stewart Oliver, Gilbert T. Hpges, C. T. Dickson ahjl E. S. Friedley, busi ness associates of the publisher. A grand nfece of Mr. Munsey, Mrs. Allan W. Mansfield, of Meriden. Conn., an* Dr. Frank Oastler, Mr. Munsey’s physician, also were at the bedside when the end came. Mr. Munsey rallied well apparently from the operation for appendicitis, but peritonitis set in shortly after ward. Last Sunday he underwent a secondary drainage operation, and seemed to be holding fits own until yesterday when he suffered a relapse. The publisher rallied from a sink ing spell at midnight, but again suf fered a relapse about 4 o'clock this morning. The end came peacefully and apparently without much suffer ing. Mr. Munsey retained his faculties until the final relapse. He had re quested tliar his sister. Mr*. J&m 1L Hyde, of tW Petersburg, Fla., pot be m b*—«-wt -her great' age, and weakened condition. Frank Andrew Munsey was 28 years old and a telegraph operator when he arrived in New York one eold, bleak day Jn the winter of 1882. He had coaie down to the metropolis from Maine, bringing all his property with him. It consisted of a grip-full of manuscripts, the clothes he had on, and S4O in cash. He was going to start a publishing business. Seeking n focussing point for what' he felt certaih, even at that time, would one day be a great enterprise, he engaged a little room for an office, bought an eight dollar table and a couple of cheap kitchen chairs, some pens and a bottle of ink. and the S4O was gone. Frank Munsey was broke in the world’s greatest city, where ev en the mighty must fight to bang on. With all his troubles ahead of him, he started to 'work, and two months later appeared the first'number of the Argossy Magazine—then an illustrat ed weekly paper of eight pages for boys and gij'ls. Horatio .Alger Jr., was one of the contributors. This was the beginning of a struggle which has had few if any parallels in the publishing world. Forty years later,, after one of the most remarkable demonstrations of hewing- success out of failure ever seen iu fhnt particular business, Frank Andrew Munsey had become one of the foremost publishers |n the United States, numbering his news papers and magazines by the score and his wealth by the millions. It had bden a fight every step of the way. and not once did luck lenc| a hand with the burden. His most notable achievement in the newspaper field came in February 1920, when he acquired the New York Herald, one of the oldest newspapers the country; and merged with.it the New York Sun, the Herald's senior by two years, which Mr. Munsey had purchased in 1916 ( and consolidated -with the New York Press. The elder James Gordon Bennett had founded the Herald, and Charles A. Danna de veloped the Sun. The merged publi cation wds called the Sun and The New York Herald for a time, and then' changed simply to the Herajd. At the same time the evening Sun, another Munsey newspaper, was changed to the Sun. Mr. Munsey also acquired the Tel egram and in 1928 purchased the Glyobe and Commercial .Advertiser, which he consolidated' with the Sun. In 1924, he bought the Evening Mail and merged it with the Telegram. “Later in the year he sold the Her ald to Ogden Held, the deal including the European edition of the paper. Mr. -Munsey said he had sold the Her ald, which was consolidated with the Tribune by Mr. Reed, bemuse of his dislike for “monstrous Sunday papers in which I have never beeti' able to interest myself with any great degree.’’ ‘ f Suggests Polar Flight.

It Is Planned to Start the Drive Aimed at Stopping All Present Waste of Rubber Goods. BRITISH HOLD MONOPOLY NOW And This Has Resulted In Higher Prices For Rub ber aqd All Goods In Which It Is Needed. ” Washington. December 22.— (A 5 ) —A movement' to cut down American con sumption of rubber has been organ ized. with the backing of Secretary Herbert Hoover and representatives of tlie principal rubber consuming trades. Within a few '.tours after the House had ordered an inquiry into charges of a British monopoly of the sources of rubber production Mr. Hoover con ferred last night with spokesmen for the National Rubber Association and National Automobile Chamber of CoiA merce, and laid out a program to arouse the public to the necessity of economizing on rubber. Every automobile user and every garage and service station manager was aaked by Mr. Hoover today to c(s more zme of repaired tirts, and ffi the ‘declaiming of old rubber. I “We can reduce, our consumption of rubber by 25 pe reent. without de creasing the use of our cars a single mile,” said the commerce secretary, “if we will simply repair our tires ip (ime and use them carefully. We ask no seif-denial, we simply want better Use. “Our tires are like clothes, a patch in time saves nine.” The secretary declared that nearly $700,000,000 a year was being exacted from the rubber using public by the British East Indian rubber combina tion. Originally the producers fixed 35 cents a, pound as a reasonable price but under successful operation of a schelne to restrict production, Mr. H°°ver asserted, prices have been raised to three times the original fig ure. He estimated that as a result, from S3O to S7O per year was being ex acted from every automobile user. The campaign to economize in rub ber will be extended to other rubber trades in case it becomes necessary to bring down prices. Reports Denied.

' ' ‘y* Representative Tucker, Democrat. Virginia, an avowed dry, initiated a move designed to prevent a repeti tion of the much debated Hotel May flower incident, in which a dry agent masqueraded under the name of a member of Congre,<s to obtain evidence at a cost of more than s9otl to the government. The vehicle employed by Mr, Tuck er was au amendment to the annual trramity-poHtofflee supply bilT, which carries funds for dry law enforce ment for the' next fiscal year. A vote' on the proposal was deferred until tomorrow. The amendment which was direct ed at a section of the bill making $250,000 available for procurement of evidence in the next fiscal year, would prohibit the use of “fraud, deceit or falsehood” in t» expendi ture of any part of this sum. Chairman Madden, of the appro printibns committee which reported the bill asked if the amendment’was designed to prevent the purchase of evidence. “If carried on by fraud or deceit. I say yes,” replied Mr. Tucker. When Mr. Madden interrupted again to ask if the amendment would prohibit an agent from stopping a truck on a highway and buying a “case” for evidence he asserted that it was “intended to do what it says.” calling attention to the fact that he had voted for Volstead act and stood for appropriations to carry it out.” Jesus Christ Great Character, Rabbi Wise Tells Congregation. New York, Dec. 21. —Accepting Jctari of, ‘Tewtreth “not as a myth. jr Wise, of the Free Synagogue, be lieves that the doctrines of the Nnza renc are basically those taught by the Jewish elders. Christianity is impractical nnd unattainable as the Jews fed it is, Dr. Wise told a congregation in Carnegie hall, because the Christians have failed to live up to its teach ings. The doctrines preached by Christ ‘form a code of pthics un paralleled in the history of morality. "Jesus was,”, said Rabbi Wise. "I accept this despite the notion I Imd been led to believe earlier in my life —a notion that Jesus was a myth and never existed. I tell you, and I will repeat these words 'to every Jew in the world if need be: ‘.leans was aud we must accept this fact at once.’ ” Arguing that Jesus, as a .lew, taught a doctrine that was esc initial ly Jewish in spirit, Rabbi Wise con tinued : “Because Christendom has re nounced Jesus in fact, shall we con tinue to deny him, now that we. iiis brother Jews, are free to face him and his teaehings anew. “Shall we not say that this Jew is soul of our soul and that the soul of his teaching is Jewish and loth ing but Jewish? The teaching of Jesus the Jew is a phase of the spirit which led the Jew godtvard.” Colonel Bruton Placed on the Reserve Council. Wilson. Dec. 21.—Colonel John F.

ASHEVILLE HAS LARGE DEFICIT. AUDIT SHOWS Gross Deficit of Over Million Dollars Found For Fiscal Year of 1924-25. Asheville. Deo. 21.—A total gross deficit of $1,043,518, in city funds for the fiscal year ending August 31. 1925, is shown in the annual audit report of Scott Ohnrnley and com pany, Charlotte, made pubiyic today. “It appears to -us that the general tinaucing condition of tlie city •is such as to command very serious at tention." says the report. "The basis of this suggestion is the fact that the deficits aggregate more than a million dollars at tlie close of the year, and the budget that has just been made up does not provide for the payment of any of these deficits,and further it is not known what deficits will be in the other funds when tfle final costs of the projects are known. "It is true that- there lias been authorized but not sold bonds to the amount of $665,000, which when sold the proceeds will be applied, to these deficits and will' reduce same to about $378,000 that is if the. ap propriations for the current year are not allowed to be over expended nnd that the estimated revenues are real ized.” Mayor Cathey in commenting on j the report today said that the city | should not be charged with §665,000 ] as net deficit for bonds will be issued f to take care of this amount. Included j in the $660,000 the mayor said were i expenditures on McCormick field I (the baseball park), and some expen-1 ditures on the recreation park. The money was paid out of the general fund for the improvements, thy may or said, with'the intention of liqui dating the deficit through a bond is sue. Tile net deficit of $378,000 will be taken care Os by a bond issue some time in the near future, the mayor said today.

Sharpe, federal prohi bition director for the Bth division. Liquor not only is high, but, it is hard to find, the director said.

Rock Island. 111-, Dec. 21.—An important step toward Lutheran Church unity is indicated fn tbe new hymnal of the Lutheran Augus tana Synod, published today. In ad dition to the traditional form of service used in the Augustana Synod, the book contains -the “com mon service" which is the accepted form of worship in most of the Lutheran groups in America. in cluding the United Lutheran Church and the synodical conference. The action of the Augustana Synod is also seen as a step toward uniformity in church ritual among all Protestants, since the “common service” is nlmost identical with the form of worship of the Episcopal communions in the United States and of the Angelican Church. A departure in tbe hymnal »is the adoptiml of the American standard version of the Bible in the lectionnry. Heretofore the scripture lessons have been printed according to the King James version. The Augustana Synod is the first general church body in American to adqpt the new Bible rendering in its official text. 6 Cents In Ancient Toy Bank Might Have Bought World Now New York.

SIMMONS’ VIEWS ON TAXES MISQUOTED Charlotte Man Urges Building and Loan Tax Legislation. Washington, Dec. 21. Senator Simmons today sent a telegram to his office here saying he had been misquoted by sdme of the state papers with respect to his tax views- The senator makes it plain he has ■expressed no opinion as ts the repeal of the gift tax, or publicity of the in come tux returns. The telegram also states that he has not suggested any increase in the exemptions allowed in the house bill. He favors, so far as possibile, tlie repeal of the consump tion and iiiysancc taxes. K. L. Keesler, of the Charlotte Mutual Building and loan associa tion, writes Senator Simmons: "Tlie present* revenue act exempts from income tax the dividends or in terest from domestic building and loan association up to's3(lo per year. Such an increase iu the exemption Allowed would encourage savings in vestments in local building and loan associations thereby providing more funds through mortage loans for the erection or purchase of homes. 11l North Carolina the demand for building and loan money so exceeds the supply that applicants must wait from six to 18 months for loans. The building and loan associations are offering practically the only long time real estate loans available at six per cent interest without broker age.
