Demands the Cartridges Seized By Chinese
Russia claims ammunition seized by Chinese was for the Russian Legation guard at Peking. About 3,500,000 cartridges were found concealed in wool bales, destined for Port Arthur. Chinese authorities in Kalgar and nearby locations uncovered equal quantities. The Russian Legation seeks return of the cartridges, arguing their use for guard duties, while China questions the smuggling. The Japanese monitor the case, urging China to act as a neutral power.

Prof Roentgen Modesty in Medical Record Insight
A profile of Prof Roentgen from the Medical Record notes his low public profile. He has never granted interviews or banquets and reportedly refused large sums from U.S. publishers for a book on his “new kind of way.” At sixty, he appears vigorous and active, more a man of outdoor life than a lifelong investigator of peculiar physical problems.

Scotch whisky wisdom to keep peace at home
A breezy column from the Baltimore Sun recalls a pair of city officials in a cafe where one brags about Scotch to hide his drinking from his wife. The tale pivots on a Missouri line about rye, with a moral that Scotch can spare trouble at home. A Chicago News quip about marital conflicts and jokes about dog biscuits also appear, followed by ads for Parker’s Ginger Tone and Parker’s Hair Balsam.
