Defender of president the fiery senator Piles backs battleships
Senator Samuel H. Piles of Washington, a strong Roosevelt supporter, laments the president cannot have all the battleships he desires. He fears the Pacific coast could draw Orientals and Japan would threaten the white man’s country, imagining a Japanese fleet along Puget Sound and troops in the Rockies, hence the push for more battleships. Born in Kentucky into wealth and slavery, he rose to legal prominence after wandering through Kansas and Arizona before settling in Washington.

A Sure Germ Killer
In St Louis Dr W B Winn introduces a home germ killer using five ounces permanganate of potash and ten ounces formaldehyde to flood a room with fumes. It claims to choke to death bacteria and pests like mosquitoes without causing inconvenience to residents and suggests massive bacterial mortality.
Disinfectant Claim for Germ Destruction by Fire Formaldehyde
A defense of using permanganate of potash and formaldehyde to destroy deadly bacilli in rooms is described. The process produces heat and steam, fumigates spaces rapidly, and is touted as safe for lay use with minimal equipment.
