Court of Appeals Affirms Damages in Keroes v Weaver
The District Court of Appeals sustained a $200 damages judgment for Jacob Keroes against John Weaver and Charles Weaver. The case arose from removal of three lengths of cloth on the night of April 1. Keroes occupied a store near Fourteenth and C streets as a tenant. Justice McComas authored the opinion and also wrote the opinions in the Connors Paint Manufacturing and American Glue Company cases, affirming patent commission decisions in each.

Man With the Muck Rake Exposé Debate in American Magazines
Bilary Sedgwick’s May American Magazine essay attacks the muck rake as a corrupter of journalism and public life. It argues magazines push sensationalism for money, inflaming politics, business and society while urging readers to demand truth and responsibility. It cites The History of the Standard Oil Company and Lawson as pivotal but warns against exaggerated exposure turning public discourse into scandal.
