Push Adrian Gains Momentum From City Business League
Editor notes Mayor Reynolds calls a Monday meeting to form a unified city business men’s league to push Adrian.

It contrasts with a naval controversy over Maclay’s history of the Spanish American War and Admiral Schley, noting the navy secretary’s decision to remove certain language from cadet textbooks.
