Perkins for Chairman Latter to Succeed Allison
Senator Perkins is favored to chair the Senate Naval Affairs Committee after Senator Allison’s death. The Pacific coast would gain influence, with Hale possibly moving to appropriations while remaining on naval matters. Perkins’ sailor’s experience and Western interests are seen as assets for vigilance over Pacific and trans Pacific issues. Pacific coast residents call the move timely given Oriental conditions.

Letter dispute over District of Columbia autonomy and misquotation
A columnist, J. Praint Richata of this city, argues that an article in Everybody's misquoted Macfarland regarding the District of Columbia's government. Macfarland replies with a detailed letter stating the full August 1901 quote and defending the district’s autocratic yet efficient governance. The exchange touches on self government, taxation without representation, and the district's businesslike, nonpartisan administration. Also noted: the death of Mannington mayor Christy at age 75, a 20-term mayor and long-time public servant.
