Frank M. Brown, the Newport defaulter famed for a near $200000 loss, visited New Orleans from Honduras then vanished after a quiet trackside meeting with Mrs. Marion Smith. Police and Secret Service failed to trace him, with detectives Kerwin and Littleton leading searches across the city and beyond.
Frank M. Brown met Alexander Bradford at the New Orleans fairgrounds before the day’s first race. Bradford, a veteran program vendor, recognized Brown only after Brown spoke his name. The exchange touched on Brown’s missing money, former horsemen, and possible plans to San Francisco or Central America.
A local council meeting faced odd delays as members shuffled agenda items and deferred votes amid a cryptic discussion. Dr Helmbold’s sudden illness prompted a brief adjournment and reliance on deputy officials for procedural steps.
Newport council drama unfolds as Republicans seek to block Democratic attendance. An injunction halted the meeting. Democrats fled, while Republicans and authorities battled to secure a quorum. Court action loomed over territorial powers and federal duties.
A committee insists the fight is not off for the Saengerfest though rumors say so. They may admit the situation in a day or so and could save money by exploiting a technicality to spare forfeiture if they choose.
The Commercial Tribune notes a positive denial and states the committee decided not to seek a permit from the Mayor, a conclusion reached by Wednesday afternoon. The piece emphasizes no planned fight or formal approval action.
Annie F. Bryan was held in 200 bond on a charge of using Elmer Dover’s name to obtain purses and other items charged to Senator Hanna’s account at the Senate stationery room.
