GERRIT FORT TO AD MEN
Tells What Publicity Can Do for
Railroad Transportation.
DOES NOT SWELL TRAFFIC MUCH
Thrr Chief I'nTtrm to Kdncntr by
Travel, nnlM Hp Connlrr nnd
doner Halations rrlth
the Pnbllc.
TORONTO, Ont, June H.-(Bpeclil.)-Gcrrlt
Fort of Omaha, pnsscnirer traffic)
manager of tho Union Pacific naltroai
company, was the chief speaker at tho
convention of the Associated Advertising
nubs of America today. Mr. Fort's sub
ject was "What Publicity Can Do For
Transportation."
One thins, he did not concede It could
d was to swell the volume of clthor
freight or passenger traffic directly to
any considerable extent. The three
most vital effects of railroad advertising,
as Mr. Fort saw It, were, first, oduca
tional, as to mere travel; second, an to
territorial conquest and building up of
the country with home-maker; third,
cultivation of closer mutual relations be
tween the railroads and tho people, by
frank discussions by railroads In tho
newspapers of their peculiar problems.
In part, Mr. Fort sflldt
The problem of selling railroad trans
portation through publicity presents the
following essential difference from other
forms of merchandising: The railroads
are quasi public Institutions with their
earning power limited by governmental
regulation, both stato and federal. The
state, says. In effect, to the owners of
railroad property: "Wo will allow you to
earn, If you can-although we don't guar
antee that you will a fair return on your
Investment, but whatever you earn In ex
cess of a fair profit must lie divided with
the public in the form of reduced rates
cr Improved service."
Admitting the soundness of this position
oncedlng that the rnllroads nre. public
rrvant-wlll It not be agreed that ad
crtlsing which Is not creative of busi
ness, but which has for Its purpose
tnerelv the diversion of business repre
sents n wasto of expenditure and effort
and more than that a breach of trust'
If this be so let us sec what opportunity
exists to rrento business by advertising
I doubt whether $100,000 expended In ad-
ertlslng freight service would cause two
kegs of nails to be shipped where ono
was shipped before, and I think It may
truthfully be said Hint advertising will
not create freight traffic. Advertising of
luxurious passenger service may stimu
late travel, but to a limited extent only.
Field of Kdncntlon.
There Is. however, a field, and the
widest sort of a field, for ndvcrtifclng that
Is not only creative of railroad and steam
ship traffic, but Is for the general good
All forms of publicity lilcti depict In
truthful terms the wonderful liciih nnd
pleasure resorts of our contlnvit nre cf
Incalculable benefit to all mankind, tot
it cannot bo gainsaid that travel Is tho
greatest of alt educational foreot. The
public owes much to the transportation
companies for their exploitation of 1 el
lowstone National park tho Adlrondacks,
California, the Canadian Ilocklos, Florida,
the Yosemlte, the Grand Canyon, etc.,
and It is not too much to say that the
skillful and persistent publicity which has
been given theso resorts has not only
helped the carrying companies, but has
been of tremendous benefit to our people.
Again, publicity, paid and unpaid, us
to the opportunities for homcseeknra nnd
Investors presents a most Inviting nnd
legitimate, field wherein to servo trans
portation and alt mankind. Hurcly there
can be no more useful work than that ft
making known to tho older and over
crowded parts of tho world tho oppor
tunities, agricultural and Industrial, whloh
are open to every man with stUflclunt
brains and energy to grasp them and In
addl.ton to the material reward which Is
bound to come to both transportation and
publicity there is tho higher one of wit
nessing the constant recession of the
world's frontiers, tho conquest of new
countries and the trite, but pleasant, oc
cupation of developing two blades of grass
where ono grew before.
Dlseasslon of Problems,
Finally In my opinion, and it should bs
understood that in making this statement
I am speaking on my own responsibility
and for myself alone, I believe that pub
licity could bo used to Immense, advan
tage to transportation companies and to
the publto as well In discussing In frank
patd-for advertising the railroad problems
which engage so much attention In the
public prints. 1 also bellevo that the
changed conditions are not generally un
derstood by the public and that paid ad
vertising for which (he transportation
companies assume full responsibility, sot
ting forth clearly and fairly the present
situation and their needs for the future,
could go far toward establishing better
relations between the carriers and their
patrons.
Transportation demands of publicity
that it shall be honest, honest in Its ut
terance to the public, both editorial and
advertising; honest In Its business meth
ods with transportation companies, no
blackmail, no favoritism, no personalities
to be allowed to govern these relations.

BURNS AND NEWS MAY SPLIT
Newspaper Has Until Saturday to
Make Good on Expense.
BURNS PUTS UP THE BOND
Local Anthorltles nrllrve Hansen
Will Hliotr Up Hntnrdny nnd
Thas Save, the Five Thon
nnd Ilond Money'.
Unless tho Omaha Dally News and the
"Cloverleat Syndicate," which controls it,
come to the front Immediately with an
unlimited expense account for OperaUve
Hansen's benefit, the Burns detective
agency will leave Its clients In the lurch
and allow them to face tho muslo alone
and without tho 'benefit of the cunning
sleuth's evidence and testimony. A threo
days' extension of time has been ar
ranged In the case of Operative Hansen's
15.000 bond. The Dally News has until
Baturday to put J5.000 in the hands of
Detective Hums In order to Insure Han
sen' testimony. Until Saturday the bond
will not be declared forfeit, but on that
day, If Hansen does not show up, Wll.
llam J. Burns will pay tho amount and
start suit to collect from tho News.
Several weeks ago Chief of Detectives
Moloney received a telegram from the
assistant state's attorney at Chicago stat
ins; that lawyers for Hansen promised to
havo their client In Omaha by June U.
A continuance of the bond has been ob
tained until Baturday.
Hansen's bond was put up by Hums,
who expected the News to make It good
It It became necessary to forfeit to save
tho operative from tho penitentiary. Tho
Dally News was loth to spend any more
money nnd tried to stick nurns for the
amount, but the sleuth now threatens to
desert his client.
The local authorities believe that Han
sen will show up Saturday. They say
Hums knows that sooner or later his
man must face the music and that they
will not risk double penalty, but will pro-
duco Hansen without further trouble and
save the 15,000 bond.
