Canton Faces Major Water Crisis as Auto Plant Burns
Canton treks through its worst water shortage after a motor failure that cut 2,000,000 gallons daily, forcing Timken Roller Bearing and other plants to suspend operations. Mayor Stolberg and Waterworks chief Obliger scrambled to secure a replacement motor, while city crews restricted usage, shut off water to elevators, and eyed emergency pumps and Nimishillen creek as options.

Millionaire Suspect in Model Grace Roberts Killing
Philadelphia police narrowed the slaying of corset model Grace Colbert Roberts to two wealthy admirers. One man killed her after a quarrel in a Fifteenth and Poplar apartment. the other watched from a bathroom. Both men are well known in society and prompt arrests if they attempt to leave Philadelphia. Detectives pursue the Norristown escape and a Chicago connection as they build the case. The model reportedly feared a jealous suitor from Chicago, and the killer fled by car, with a driver later questioned by police.
