Agent Describes Fatal Shooting in Minnesota Trial
Testimony from White in a federal court trial recounts the fatal shooting of Gust Henry Wirkkula of Sig Falls Minnesota during a contraband liquor pursuit last summer.

Finny Tribe Among Central Park Fish Hopes Dried Up
A Central Park fishing expedition, funded by the Southern New York Fish and Game Association, captured a small game fish in the upper reservoir after two harrowing days. Officials doubted the presence of large game fish in the park, but the sport effort concluded with a single fish weighing about an ounce per inch, worth roughly $200 for the expedition. The reservoir was to be drained next to convert it into a playground.

Conference opens as London aims to curb French demands
London delegates led by MacDonald Tardieu and Stimson begin disarmament talks focusing on reducing France’s 724,479 ton claim. The meeting yields general discussions with no progress toward cutting the fleet, while a blank table visualizes each nation’s tentative tonnage figures for future arms limits. The aim is a March 15 adjournment with a broader League of Nations framework. Germany protests France’s pocket battleship idea, linking it to its own navy plans and budget decisions.
