Cure for moral delinquency via glycero phosphates proposed
Dr John D Quackenbos, former Columbia professor, claims a physical brain defect underlies moral and mental delinquency. He prescribes glycero phosphates to repair lecithin degeneration, arguing for psycho therapeutic feeding of nerves rather than willpower. He cites Captain von Goeben’s case to illustrate lack of rational and spiritual factors in crime.

Old Meeney Mona Miller Reported Age 130 at York Almshouse
Accidental study of admissions records at York county almshouse suggests Mona Miller known as Old Meeney may be Pennsylvania’s oldest inmate. Born in Germany, she came to America around age 27, landed in New York, and later lived in West Chester and near Philadelphia before entering the almshouse in 1860. She arrived when about 2 years old in the records, now reportedly 130, with declining mental condition but still attends church each Sunday.

Despite a press department note, Sudan and British agencies report no knowledge of the talk, while a London cable calls the discourse important for policy continuity.

Debate in Senate Over Roosevelt Panic Credit Plan
Senator La Follette assails bankers and financiers behind the financial stringency and claims new evidence shows coordinated actions by life insurance interests. Oklahoma's Gore challenges Roosevelt and Cortelyou, while La Follette defends the president's effort to quell the panic and criticizes the use of incendiary praise for financiers. He predicts the currency bill will return with railroad bond provisions, and notes a forgotten valuation proposal for railway property.
