Taft Grants Mercy in Pardon for New York Man
The Taft administration granted clemency for Lor Mae Zelt of New York City, commuting six months of velment and a $100 fine for removing cigars and related offenses involving unpaid internal revenue.

The report notes Zelt’s prior petitioning and outlines the broader context of Taft’s mercy decisions and related political movements.

Higher Fees in Medicine Seen as Incidental Duty to Humanity
Prominent Washington physicians discuss the impracticability of a uniform fee scale across the United States due to diverse conditions. Dr I J Wharton and others contend fees are incidental to a physician’s duties, that many services go unpaid or partially paid, and that doctors often treat patients with discretion, sometimes without charge.
