Ave. 1005 1724 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, NOTED JOURNALIST, | [ ter s MHDE YOUNG, DIES San Francisco Leader Won National Recognition .in Many Fields. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., February 16.—M. H. de Young, ome of the last survivors of the dwindling school of personal journalists in the United States, who built a great newspaper from a theatrical handbill he started on a borrowed $20 goldplece In 1865, died here last night. He was 75 years old. His death was as sudden as many of the events in his spectacular career which made him a national figure. Early last night he under- went an operation for intestinal trouble. Two hours later he was dead. Mr. de Young was a director of the Associated Press for 25 years. He was the leading figue in the Midwinter exposition in San Fran- cisco in the nineties. He built the first steel frame building in the West, the old Chronicle. He rebuilt it after the San Francisco fire, only to abandon it for what William Ran- dolph Hearst was recently pleased to term the most modern newspaper plant in the United States. Career Linked With City. M. H. de Young and his career were perhaps as closely identified with the progress of the city of San Francisco as those of any man, al- though his activities, political and social. were Nation-wide in scope and recognition. The years which saw San Francisco grow from a cluster of houses to a great seaport and com- merclal center were the years of Mr. ds Young's life, and the two were Iuseparably interwoven. Born in St Louis October 1, 1849, he was a San Franciscan from the time he was five years old, and from his boyhood a business man. When 16 years o]d he was a pub- lisher, having established with his brother Charles the Dramatic Chro: icle. In those days much of the city life centered about the thea where companies and individual stars coming from New York by way of Panama formed the attraction and the de Young boy this opportunity for reaching the public. Their yenture, described as scarcely more ‘than a theater pro- gram, soon began to carry news items, and developed rapidly into a real newspaper ecagerly scanned by theatergoers. The latest bits of live news were to be found In its col- umns, and long before it became a tull-fledged morning paper opinions upon matters touching the public in- terest were printed on the editorial page. Nor was it uncommon to find « contribution signed with a name already well known in the literary world. \ Paper Became Daily. The Dramatic Chronicle presently became the San Francisco Chronicle, a morning dally paper, the transition Involving scarcely more than a change of name. The paper, like the city, had grown beyond the theater, and the de Youngs quickly appreei- ated the situation. The valldity of their judgment in making the change was demonstrated by a rapid growth In circulation and popularity. The paper was active in pointing out those abuses which identify them- selves with rapidly growing bodies politic.. In 1877 an exposure of con- ditions in the conduct of the Federal 4sovernment's business here was cred= ited with causing the retirement of a number of politicians. It caused a succession of libel sults from which the Chronicle emerged triumphantly. In 1879 the Chronicle fought sturdily-and successfully for a new state constitution, the one adopted being etill noted for its ad- vances over other similar documents. In 1880, on the death of his brother Charles, Mr. de Young became sole proprietor of the Chronicle. The in- creasing prosperity and influence of the paper gave him greater opportu- nity for participation in public affairs, into which, from the start of his s’ bent and sense of re- career, ¥ carried him. Continual- sponsibi 1y he reached ahead of his cotem- poraries in his vision and in public and commercial life. Before he entered his fortieth year Mr. de Young was numbered among the men of the Pacific Slope called upon to represent their fellow citi- zens in national and international affairs, and from that time on his record was one of succeeding public responsibilities. Mr. de Young's political activities ran paralllel with his public services in other lines. Personally and through his paper he contended for the advancement of the Republican party, through which he considered Veteran Editor Dies M. H. DE YOUNG, the nation might best be served. He was a member of the Republican national committee for eight years, and for four years was its vice chair- man, and in San Francisco he was elected to the presidency of the Union League Club. Newspaper publishing, public serv- ice on great commissions and political activity, all with their accompany- ing social obligation, still left Mr. de Young time to aid in caring for the world’s unfortunates.
