Today -100: October 31, 1925: Of frame-ups, aether, and secret bigotry

The ending of the Greco-Bulgar war is considered a triumph and proof of concept of the League of Nations, though Britain’s threat to blockade either country if they failed to comply might have had something to do with it.

The NY Morning Telegraph reported that Fountain Inn in Eustis, Florida, of which Republican NYC mayoral candidate Frank Waterman is a director, is biased against Jewish customers, reproducing a letter from its manager. Waterman calls it a “frame-up” but fires that manager, as one does in response to a frame-up. Then he finds that the recipient of the letter doesn’t seem to exist and he calls the letter a fake, attributing it without evidence to Tammany Hall.

Prof. Dayton Miller of Mt. Wilson Observatory says Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, which is premised on the non-existence of ether, is disproved by Miller’s detection of the mystery substance.
