May 24, 1920. Gatherings.

On this day in 1920 the Mexican Congress was ordered to assemble on the question of who would be the country's provisional president.  After three rounds of voting, Aldolfo de la Huerta was chosen for the role.

On the same day the body of the assassinated Carranza was taken to Mexico City. When his train arrived there fourteen aids of his who accompanied the body were arrested and put in a military prison for holding.

As the contest in Mexico concluded one round, a law was signed in New York that brought about a limit to the number of rounds in prize fighting and which further established weight classifications.  Named after its sponsor, the Walker Law is regarded as having revolutionized boxing.

Jimmy Walker, then a New York state senator.  He'd later be Governor of New York from 1926 to 1932, before resigning in a patronage scandal.

And in Brightwood Maine, an Old Maids Club met at a church.

What exactly such a gathering met in this context isn't clear.
