Art World Tragedy Sees Man Kill Artist at National Museum
Otto Seelhorst, an artist released from a sanitarium, shot F. von Iterson at the National Museum in a small room. He claimed the killing was justice for a 15 year old grievance, then was arrested without resistance. Von Iterson had worked in Washington for years and is tied to the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. Seelhorst traveled from Philadelphia with a Winchester rifle, visited the room, and fired four times, killing Iterson almost instantly. Seelhorst says the act was to end his misery and control over his life and family. He is held at the Fourth precinct station after surrendering.

Free Freight Delivery Fight for Quaker City Merchants
The Philadelphia Trades League pushes Interstate Commerce Commission to curb store-door freight delivery in Washington and Baltimore. Merchants warn loss of profits and rising costs if the practice ends, citing $200,000 to $300,000 yearly drayage impacts and broader price shifts. The Business Men's Association forms a committee to mobilize a reply, with a January 2 meeting to chart action and present the case before the commission.
