Mayor Outraged!

Mayor Outraged!
On November 24, 1914, just three days after the shooting death of Thomas Gibbons, Cleveland mayor Newton Baker was quoted in the Cleveland Press as "outraged" over the death of Gibbons. Saying that the war between the Plain Dealer and Leader had to end, Baker ordered his Chief of Police to disarm all newspaper distributors (circulators) operating in the City of Cleveland. | Creator: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper Collection
