An anonymous Globe-Democrat correspondent recalls Roosevelt’s Panama inspection aboard a warship, noting his interest in engine rooms and a suggested Mississippi river trip stunt where he and aides might join a stoking contest. The vivid memoir describes sailors feeding furnaces while players sing, a scene tied to Bremer’s Mississippi reminiscence. A separate Scranton murder: Simon Schoen, intoxicated, shoots his lifelong friend Joseph Lambert, a special policeman, after leaving court where he faced habitual drunkard charges.
