Congressman Proposes Printing For Guinean Trial At Public Expense
A congressman urged paying for five thousand copies of the Guinean trial, arguing the public has endured enough of the scandal at state expense and future inquiries should be privately funded. Bemis repaid a three thousand dollar shortfall after a bank failure, with the legislature afterward authorizing reimbursement as justice. Mrs. Andeman of Davenport was knocked down on the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific line, the train passing over her body and leaving minor injuries, prompting cautions about safety for thin versus fleshy passengers.
