Hermann in a trap Baker flashed telegram in court
Former Land Commissioner Hermann faced cross examination over a telegram he admitted sending to Franklin Pierce Mays in July. Prosecutors call the telegram a tip on Blue Mountain forest reserve actions while Hermann asserts it was set up and memory is not infallible. He also reveals details of public land entries and purchases tied to Schiller, and notes he sent patents to his son.

Damages for grading awards at new station site
The commission awarded four thousand dollars for damages due to changes in the grade near the new amioy station at the junction of Delaware Avenue and M and Third Street Northeast. Caspar L. Craig and others were denied claims as they did not own land when the grade changed. A jury later weighed appraisements for multiple lots, with some portions compensated and others none, yielding an award lower than the commission total. Separately, Jacob H. Mertz and Rosa T. Mertz sued to force Stephen J. Kuble to provide a one foot four inch rear yard for a house at 1% Fourth Street Northeast for building plan compliance. Frank Wald received a six-month sentence in Crimmins Court No. 2 for horsebreaking after changing his plea to guilty.
