Mystery Death of Jenkins Stirs Charleston Family
Relatives of Rev. Jenkins suspect a forgery after a letter claimed Jenkins died of smallpox in Savannah and a body shipment for burial was blocked. Sons say their father left with a promoter named Jinkins, then reported deaths and travel to Texas, Memphis, and Savannah. Local police later found no Savannah death record and no smallpox outbreak since 1912.

Fess Revives Draft Talk In Fighting La Follette's Resolution
Senator Fess, a Republican from Wisconsin, revived debate on a third term for President Coolidge during a lengthy Senate speech against La Follette's resolution. He asserted Coolidge means what he says and would face a breach of faith if he accepted the nomination after denying it previously. Democratic critics called Fess' remarks a bid for renomination, while Fess emphasized he spoke for himself and that Coolidge could choose to run again if a convention urged it.
