Kansas City Rotary Invites President Harris to Address Them.

He Talks From Chicago.

SPEAKER HEARD 458 MILES

Kansas City Diners Listen Over the Phone to Address Here.

Addressing two widely separated audiences at the same time, Paul P. Harris, president of the National Organization of Rotary Clubs, last night delivered a speech on "Organization."

Mr. Harris talked to an audience of 150 men at the Richelieu Cafe. At the same time a similar gathering in Kansas City heard his remarks over the long‑distance telephone, an instrument being adjusted at each plate. As the Chicago men cheered and sang those in Kansas City, 458 miles away, responded.

"There was a time when it was true that 'when business begins friendship ceases,' " said Mr, Harris, "but it is now a fact that friendship begets business and it is no longer good policy to be anything but in harmony with those in the same line of business."
