Houdini challenged by Joyce over packing-box escape duel
The handcuff king Houdini and Prof Maurice Joyce athletic director fail to agree on a wager over a packing box escape at Joyce's Columbia Theater program. Joyce demands fair play and refuses wagering while Houdini insists on a box secured by Joyce with planks and nails, promising to prove no secret panels exist if Houdini escapes on stage.

Master Builders Stand Over Clause In Arbitration Row
The Master Builders Association opposed the Structural Building Trades Alliance over the meaning of a sixth clause in the plumbers arbitration award. At a meeting in the base builders headquarters at Fourteenth and G streets, all but two members voted to refer the clause to the arbitration committee. The two and a half hour session saw journeymen supporters push to block the motion, as they demand a new board to interpret the original board’s intent.
