Christmas Celebration Hope Against Loss of Life
The Progress hopes no loss of life or injury will come from Christmas celebrations which should be a joyous religious festival. John R. Walsh, once a powerful Chicago banker, is described as paralytic and dying in Leavenworth federal prison. Taft was asked to consider release. A Pittsburg man attempted manslaughter by shooting at the man in the moon over his wife’s song, but no one was harmed and the couple settled in court.
