An American steam yacht carrying about 40 tourists from Athens to Constantinople was fired at from a Turkish fort near the Dardanelles. Shells were lobbed at the bow and stern as Turkish officers boarded and searched the vessel for contraband. Passengers planned to complain to the American consul, but no formal report was filed.
Miss Gertrude L. Carey and Miss Gertrude Barnes of Duluth Minnesota and Albert Evitts of North Milton Connecticut arrived yesterday with the first news to America of the event.
George P. Cushing aged 64, general manager of the Nantasket Beach Steamship Company, died at his South Hingham home. Born in Hingham, he began as a newsboy on the Nantasket steamers and rose to leadership.
London reports the death of Mrs. Robertson widow of Thomas W. Robertson author of Caste. She is the mother of actress Mrs. Kendal.
An advertisement claims Cooper's New Discovery cures indigestion and related symptoms within days. It promises full refund if no improvement after three doses and urges purchase at all druggists.
London reports a morning dismissal of any official British plan to demand arbitration over the Panama Canal. Foreign Office officials called last night’s claim premature and without authority, as Sir Edward Grey and Cabinet members remain in flux awaiting U.S. election results and possible policy direction.
For the first time in Boston public schools history a $10,000 man, Dr Franklin B Dyer of Cincinnati, assumed the superintendent's chair at Mason street and announced an open door policy. He is described as tall spare and big boned and represents a Westerner style of leadership.
He shares with Mayor Fitzgerald the highest city salary and vows public access. The door stayed open as the school committee discussed conditions in Foston, while he plans mornings in schools and afternoons in his office. He seeks to study Boston's system and develop it from within, not import a fresh plan.
The Foreign Office says no announcement was made about arbitration and the Panama Canal issue remains unresolved. A government may propose sending the matter to The Hague, but no submission method has been decided. Officials reiterate arbitration is the likely course.
Carpenters and joiners in Portsmouth New Hampshire under a union wage schedule have notified master builders they will refuse to work with non union labor starting immediately. The move signals a shift to consolidate union rules and may impact local construction projects and hiring practices.
Washington outlines three avenues for Britain to challenge the Panama Canal tolls act. Taft suggests a method, Congress resists adding court jurisdiction, and arbitration remains a possible path. Additional measures to limit free tolls for coastwise ships face opposition but may pass in December.
Wilhelm Kauffmann of Berlin University contends that Panama Canal privileges for American vessels in the coastwise trade breach the Hay Pauncefote treaty. In Tageblatt he argues the US may impose compensatory dues or exclude subsidized ships to maintain equality, and supports excluding railroad-owned shipping as subsidized.
