Today -100: February 4, 1926: Of mini revolutions, barbers, extradition, and jazz emotions

A revolution begins in Portugal. And ends 24 hours later.

Atlanta’s City Council may consider repealing the ordinance banning black barbers serving white people.

Last month, US immigration officials deported Huertaist former Col. Manuel Demetrio Torres to Mexico, which promptly executed him without trial (by firing squad), claiming he was a train robber. There is some... dispute... between Mexican Pres. Plutarco Elías Calles and the US over whether he had given reassurances before Torres was turned over that this would not happen. The US Senate now stops consideration of an extradition treaty.

The Salvation Army in Cincinnati gets a temporary injunction against a movie theatre next to its orphanage because the music emanating from it would implant “jazz emotions” in the babies born there.
