Forged Signatures and a Blur of Political Manipulation
The House committee reports Ohio ballot box forgery in a contract by Wood with forged signatures. It says neither Foraker nor Halstead knew of the forgery though they aided by showing the document. All but the chairman say careful scrutiny would reveal its false character. Mason disagrees on that point.

Sunday in the Snow on Arlington Trails
The observer chronicles animal life and tracks across Arlington hills in a snowy midwinter trek from Boston. He notes fox and dog prints, red and gray squirrel paths, rabbits feeding by frozen brooks, a crow’s march, a flock of quail, robins at junipers and barberries, and a passing shower reviving birds before a final look from the ridge. Snow fleas appear as a mystery of the season.
