Cannibals and perilous travels of William Preston Harrison
William Preston Harrison son of the late Chicago mayor returns from a yearlong South Seas voyage with dramatic tales.

He plans to publish literary work and believes tensions may spark future conflict in Samoa. Meanwhile a separate report from Minneapolis notes the collapse of Palace Clothing Co store on Nicollet Avenue, with clerk Gale Walters killed and others unaccounted in the ruins.
