Taft Praised for Speeches at Topeka in Largest Crowd
Reports from Topeka describe Thomas Taft drawing the biggest crowd yet, with two mammoth speeches and a reception that impressed Kansas residents. He urged tariff revision, defend labor, and pledged to use presidential influence to uphold Republican party commitments. Taft endured a drenching rain as thousands listened in Topeka, Leavenworth, and St. Joseph while workers heard him discuss labor, trusts, and tariffs. He spoke at the theater and auditorium, then visited Missouri stockyards and Burlington shops, where crowds greeted him amid wet conditions. Cyrus Land joined the Kansas event, and Wyandotte County labor unions presented roses as a show of labor support. The tour highlighted Taft’s labor stance and tariff reform as central themes.

Eleven Dead in New York Fire at Mulberry Street
A devastating incendiary fire on Mulberry Street in New York destroyed a four story building at 7144 Mulberry. At least eleven people died and fifty or more were injured as flames trapped occupants on upper floors. Three oil-soaked barrels fueled a fierce lower hall blaze and hindered escape. Some victims died in bed from smoke before flames. Children were hurled from upper floors to awaiting rescuers below. Firefighters and police fought the blaze as residents were carried down by ladders.
