Death by own action shadows NYC social circle tragedy
Mrs. Margaret Carter, longtime supporter of the Ride-a-Wee Home, was found dead with a bullet wound in her right temple at J J White Jr’s East 103rd Street home. Coroner Dooley said she killed herself after a tumultuous time linked to Mr White’s illness. The case raises questions about a revolver’s ownership, delays in reporting, and Carters’ ties to the Whites as detectives examine her West 29th Street apartments and letters found there. Mrs Carter had been active with the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Ride-a-Wee, while Mr White, son of a wealthy financier, maintained a high-society profile with club memberships.

Shonts Calls Narrowing Sidewalks To Ease Traffic
President Theodore P. Shonts of the Interborough Metropolitan Company urges narrowing sidewalks at key congestion points from 23d Street to 42d Street and Broadway. He proposes traffic rules banning coal trucks 6 am to 7 pm, no cabs at intersections with tracks, and limits on car capacity and standing passengers. He backs longer pay-as-you-enter cars with dual doors and rear boarding, requiring strict passenger limits and no standing on rear platforms. The plan would cost about 1.4 million dollars for Madison Avenue cars, pending regulatory approval.
