Fire damages Bailey Building and shoe stock in Boston
A Thursday fire at the Bailey building on Washington street in Boston caused an estimated $150,000 loss. The blaze affected a rear connecting structure housing the Pitts Kimball company and a shoe concern owned by Gilbert M. Ware. Insurance questions loom as two-thirds of the damaged stock belonged to Ware, with $32,000 coverage reportedly invalid due to policy placement. An adjusters committee met at New England Insurance to arrange loss settlement.

Westminster Chamber bill stirs state House action
The House moved the Westminster Chambers bill toward final passage exempting the building from the 9 foot law of 1898. The measure, likely vetoed by the Governor, aims to limit press privileges in the House amid a controversy over its passage and related votes. The session also approved funds for gypsy moth control and other state measures, while debating South African war resolutions.
