Muck Bake Suit Up
Emmanuel L. Phillips, president of Union Refrigerator Transit Co., admitted allowing a rebating charge against his firm to go unchallenged for years. He said he only acted after Ray Stannard Baker’s McClure's Magazine article prompted a refutation, as Senator La Follette testified in the libel suit filed for $100,000. The trial opened with Phillips detailing his career and the company’s car leasing, rail connections, and commission practices, including a disputed retraction and corrected statements by railway officials. The court denied a motion to strike that publication was privileged and the case continues after a morning session.

Strikes Blow at Benning Track
The House voted 70 to 4 to attach a rider to a local street changes bill, aiming to curb betting at the Benning track by penalizing bookmakers and betting activity. If the Senate approves, the move could end the Benning racetrack’s spring meeting, as bookmakers have recently faced legal pressure and the track may be deserted after this meeting.
