Gossipy note on estates and society in New York
In a May 1910 column the fortunes and follies of New York society are sketched. Executors report that Predilie Gebhard left only 8872 after a life of lavish spending, while other segments describe heiresses, divorces, and wealthy figures including Dr. Hillis and Elise Curran. The piece touches on inheritance disputes, high society marriages, and social moralizing amid capital intrigue and fashion commentary.

Warning of a Storm From Leete's Island Wireless Station
New Haven observers note a private wireless station on Leete's Island that warned of a thunderstorm seven hours before it arrived. The elderly operator Beattie and his son keep a hobby station not listed as an official telegraph site, yet its alert proved accurate. The piece then shifts to scientific musings on geology and oceanic volumes, citing data from the US Geological Survey and a Lloyd George remark on English incomes.

Judge Holcomb Rebukes Belligerent Counsel in Ferrie v Sperry
In New Haven on May 20 Judge Holcomb sharply rebuked attorneys in the Ferrie v Sperry case for belligerent conduct. Plaintiffs counsel J P Goodhart and C S Hamilton faced off against defense lawyers Profess or George E Beers and David Fitzgerald. The judge warned the trial was no vaudeville show, restoring decorum after a heated verbal exchange. Salt Lake City hosts a historic graveyard now beneath a planned racetrack eyed by Montana and California capitalists.
