House authorizes president to buy Jamestown base
In a pivotal shift, the House approved a new amendment to the war budget authorizing the president to acquire Jamestown Exposition and Time Beach lands for up to 1.2 million dollars to establish a major naval base at Hampton Roads. President Wilson’s letter to the Naval Affairs Committee prompted the reversal, with the government planning to spend about 1.9 million on the site and pay landowners up to three quarters of the price. The move places acquisition responsibility with the president, drawing criticism from some lawmakers about accountability and potential future scandal.

East Side Seeks Magnetic Woman and $100,000
Sixteen agitated East Side residents gathered in Edward Grossman’s office to learn the fate of Mrs. Ray Hyman of 300 East Fifty-fifth Street. They claim she owes them about $100,000 and possibly more, with investors alleging as much as $1,000,000 in funds placed with her over more than a year. Attorney Bernard J.
