Imperialism

P:The Fort Worth Record was sold to William Randolph Hearst for $375,000. Fort Worth, Texas, is the smallest city in which Mr. Hearst publishes. P: John E. Cullen will command the recently acquired Baltimore division of Hearst's newspaper empire. William Roscoe Thayer, popular historian and biographer of John Hay, Roosevelt and Washington, will edit. Thayer, like his employer, is a Harvard man, and is generally considered to be the most "cultured" of all Hearst's men. P: Mr. Hearst took over the Baltimore American (morning) and the Baltimore News (evening) from Frank A. Munsey two weeks ago. The News retains its old format, but The American already bears its master's mark on every page.
