In St. Paul
New York newspaper capital reached out and acquired the St. Paul Dispatch and the Pioneer Press, which St. Paul reads mornings. Three brothers Ridder and Leo E. Owens, publishers of the Journal of Commerce, Manhattan, the New York Staats-Zeitung Herald (German daily) and the Jamaica (L. I.) Press are the new owners. They announce no change of policy in St. Paul. The St. Paul News is the other daily newspaper of that city. Minneapolis, rival city across the Mississippi River, has the Daily Star, Tribune and Journal.
