Nude Indiana Harbor Man Carried Through Streets
Four men carried a naked man, John Blady, from his home to the doorsteps after he threatened suicide by Lake Michigan. Rescuers faced anger from Mrs Blady’s neighbors as crowds scattered and police avoided the procession. Blady later swore out warrants for the rescuers, who disappeared with his wife and children missing.

Panama Canal operation costs estimated at 31 million
Special Commissioner Emory C Johnson told a Senate committee that annual Panama Canal operation and defense could cost 31 million dollars. Breakdown includes 4.5 million for repairs and expenses, 7.9 million interest on construction debt, and 15 million to support military and naval establishments in the zone. Johnson, appointed by Taft, expects toll revenue of about 1.9 million in the first year and favors keeping coal stocks at both ends for use by ships. He did not discuss toll levels pending his full report and urged presidential discretion in setting charges.
