Fire, deaths, and massive damage sweep two cities
A major blaze in Cincinnati’s factory district caused two deaths including a fireman and a boy and injured many others while destroying eight large buildings and leaving ten firms burned out. In Philadelphia a spectacular fire killed fifteen policemen and twelve firemen and destroyed a five story leather building, with numerous injuries and hospitalizations. A canal commission warns of Panama Canal labor shortages, and a Senate investigation into Lorimer bribery charges reports no proof his Senate seat was gained by corrupt methods.

Iowa seeks big boost for extension and short course work
Iowa legislators will be asked to raise the annual extension and short course funding for the agricultural college at Ames from 32000 to 100000. Backers argue the program lifts farm yields, soil conservation, and rural population, citing Iowa farms’ gains and Denmark’s methods as justification for a statewide, year round program reaching all counties.
