Noyes, publisher of the ‘Washington Star and president of the Associated Press, spoke briefly in commendation of the purpose and methods of the organization. Dr. Cadman said that the record of the Assoclated Press “‘offers no apelegies and requires no defense.” “It {8 impossible to scver: the news of the day from the sovereign- | ty of the people or from their law- ful freedom.
