...commencement exercises at Williams College in Massachusetts, which his two eldest sons were entering that autumn.* It was an ominously warm day. Special Agent Parke, having seen that all was aright with the presidential train, stood in the ladies' waiting room.

The Chicago Daily News found encouragement in the fact that if all the resources of all Chicago banks were placed in $20 gold pieces they would fill a 30-foot street for 3½ miles, that if they were placed in solid silver they would pave a road to Milwaukee. Mayor Anton Joseph Cermak (whose city last week was $5,000,000 in salary arrears) rushed to Lawndale State Bank to assure depositors that their bank was sound.
