Divorce Bill Delayed in North Carolina Senate
Special to The Washington Post. Raleigh January 1. A bill drafted by the Good Government Association aims to improve state and city governance and to regulate telegram and telephone franchise issues. Other measures focus on a state library commission, trial reforms for capital offenses, and a committee to inspect convict camps. A resolution seeks a committee to visit camps and probe county abuses. A heated debate over repealing a divorce law provision prompted Speaker Graham to warn the morality stakes, and the bill was sent back to committee.

Cashing forged checks by a Levering employee linked to horse sale
Special to The Washington Post from Baltimore reports William Trumble, once an errand boy for Levering Coffee, arrested for cashing ten forged checks totaling nearly $4,000 at the National Bank of Commerce. He bought a horse and buggy and diamonds with the money and wore them in public. Maher, also tied to the coffee firm, was arrested as an accomplice.
