British Will Ignore Jamaica Incident Amid Swettenham fallout
Acting Secretary of State Bacon replies to Britain's charge d affaires stating the United States will disregard the Jamaica episode as the act of an individual. He notes Britain will likely pursue Gov. Swettenham's punishment, while London expresses formal regrets. The letter, sent to Esvin Howard, reflects U.S. desire to maintain cordial ties despite the clash involving Rear Admiral Davis and Jamaican relief ships.

Tubas Is Made Famous By Missouri Tip Law Myth
New York newspaper reports a sensational story of a waiter at a well known uptown hostelry who suddenly acted bizarrely, posing with a raised arm and a coin display, then collapsing to a comatose state. A telegram from a brother in Missouri claims plans to move there, but a new Missouri anti tipping law is cited. The piece lampoons Missouri’s tipping restrictions, imagining a future where tipless workers dominate services.
