Bonaparte and Morrison to settle Chicago and Alton case
Attorney General Bonaparte and former U S Attorney Morrison plan a Boston conference at the Somerset to decide whether the Chicago and Alton must face prosecution or immunity in the case linked to Standard Oil’s record 29 240 000 fine.

A separate Somerville raft accident claims Floyd Smith 13 and prompts a heroics tale by 14 year old Joseph Granger who saved two others.
