On Beacon Hill Representative Lomasney warned that the charter bill had many flaws that would keep the Governor from signing it. Despite his protest, the bill passed to be engrossed by 137 to 87 with little debate. Brickley of Ward 7 dissented from the committee report.
The Unitarian Temperance Society heard ex-governor John D. Long defend opposition to statewide prohibition in Massachusetts. He cited Maine as a prohibition success and warned public sentiment remained against a statewide ban while praising the WCTU's statewide work. He also criticized Harvard pro liquor views and urged caution against temperance efforts.
Giacinto Pellosi, 27, sought for the week on a charge of murdering his wife Marianna, returned to the Foster place tenement in the North End and shot himself after his wife's death at about midnight May 19.
