A New York club weighs the idea of women serving as police, arguing they could guide youths away from saloons and into proper games.

The meeting ends unresolved pending further consideration.
A Boston agitator gathered a well dressed, orderly crowd of unemployed who approached the free employment bureau. Only one quarter filed applications.

It argues the first two classes owe a debt to society, while the burden lies with the latter two.

The narrative portrays severe trauma and several body part losses.
