Inquest Sparks Fuss Over Drowsy Juror
Coroner George W. Delap presided over a Brooklyn inquest into a man who died by his own hand at a Coney Island hotel. The key witness Julio Melioni testified he was the hotel silver man, prompting a sleepy juror to ask if he had been a silver man in 1896 and would remain so this year. The coroner halted the aside remark, noting the case concerned death by action, not finances.

Three of four rate supervision committees in the Western territory completed organization before the Presidents meeting ended. The plan centralizes rate making with executive officials signatures required for tariff changes, while each road remains free to set rates within the agreed method.
