State Furniture Trial Claims State Overcharged?
The defense urged the jury that metered measures in metal furniture contracts favored the state, arguing articles were heavy and pricing overstated. Seven witnesses, five experienced in metal furniture, testified to overestimation, with figures showing larger dimensions than billed. Witnesses said several cases exceeded billed feet, and the defense prepared to close later that week. Frank P. Woods won the GOP state chairmanship in the Tenth, with Hubard named in the Eleventh. Democrats faced no contests.

Cleveland Chosen for Engineers Headquarters in 1910
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers voted two to one to keep the general headquarters in Cleveland for the next decade, narrowing the contest to Cleveland and Chicago. Detroit will host the next biennial convention and W. H. Kent of Detroit was chosen as third assistant grand engineer. A missionary death in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, was reported as Dr. J. M. Gordon found asphyxiated in a bathtub while visiting Rev. H. D. Smith in Mungell, India. Browning’s Magazine quote about future squab farming concludes the item.
