Gillette into city contracts amid federal interest in combating corruption.

A sweeping column reports Queen Alexandra’s friendship with Japanese Princess Arisugawa, plans to import Japanese fabrics and decor to Buckingham Palace, and renewed Franco-Italian ties.

The piece cites Gov Mickey urging Tom Lawson to give away wealth and notes Lawson’s pledge to return money when the time is right.

A garbled OCR reading presents stray phrases from Philadelphia Press Detroit Tribune Louiselle Courier and Cleveland Plain Dealer.
