Uncle Jerry in Hot Water Over Remarks on Kansan People
A Wichita dispatch reports a heated exchange at a reunion grounds event between Judge Botkin of Stevens County and Congressman Jerry Simpson. Botkin cited a letter accusing Western Kansans of criminal behavior, naming Simpson as the author. Simpson denied the innuendo, urged public clarification, and was escorted away amid threats, with Botkin vowing to publish the full letter if proven correct.

Richmond Terminal Security Bondholders Probe and Scandals
Advisory committee of seventeen bondholders met at Work Strong Co to adopt a statement alleging that Richmond Terminal security trustees and associates profited between 3 and 4 million dollars in Georgia Central sales. It claims the company bought 1.8 million in Georgia State bonds at par and 4 percent yield while borrowing at 6 percent, linking the purchase to a director seeking a U S Senate seat. The committee vows restitution and a rigorous past-management inquiry. A separate report notes a circus employee’s fatal shooting by a negro near a Harris Nickel Plate show site in Cumberland Maryland, with arrest and potential lynching attempts. The dispatch also covers a storm wrecking the Grigoriev steamer near Nijai Novgorod with about thirty deaths, and a cable from Constantinople reporting the burning of Dr Bartlett’s American mission house in Bourdour Asia Minor, with U S officials demanding protection and possible reprisals. U S cruisers Newark and Bennington proceed to Genoa.
