Wilson Promises Big Business Boom Under New Law
President Wilson told Virginia editors at the White House that anti trust legislation will bring the greatest business boom in U S history. He said the tariff and currency reforms reduced fear and will ease long held apprehensions, arguing the proposed trust regulation provides a constitutional correction rather than a surgical fix. He urged editors to shape public opinion as the administration proceeds with the program.

Atlanta Sizzles as Heat Records Fall Across State
On Thursday Atlanta faced 100.1 degrees with shade readings near 103, amid a southern heat wave that smashed records from Columbus to Athens. Jacksonville hit 110, a forty two year record, while Atlanta’s 106 in 1887 stood as the previous high. Waterworks strained as residents used baths to cope, depleting the city reservoir and causing low downtown pumping after dusk.

Zacatecas Falls to Villa After Bloodiest Battle Yet
Zacatecas, Mexico June 28 Villa's forces seized the city after four days of prelude fighting. Official counts cite 4,000 federal dead and 2,000 wounded, with Villa's side suffering about 600 dead and 800 wounded. The victory comes as a pivotal move in the northern theater, with 14,000 federals entrenched and Villa capturing twelve cannons, nine trains, and thousands of rifles. Villa pledged further advances toward Aguas Calientes, while other generals maneuvered to press on Guadalajara and San Luis Potosi. The episode marks a major milestone in the Mexican revolution and raises the potential for continued constitutionalist gains.

Fire devastates Salem in a $20,000,000 blaze
The old Witch City suffered a massive fire that destroyed about 1,000 buildings and left 10,000 residents homeless. Originating at Korn Leather near Gallows Hill, flames swept two miles through the shoe district, with embers igniting multiple sections amid a Northwest wind. Firefighting was hampered by weak water pressure and several buildings were dynamited to halt spread. No fatalities reported by midnight, though many were injured and militiamen patrolled the streets.
