What happened on Saturday December 17, 1910?

Here's what happened on December 17, 1910:

• Russian Newspaper Suppression In an act of governmental censorship, Russian authorities seized all editions of five national newspapers after Deputy Purishkevich delivered a radical speech in the Duma (Russian parliament). This event underscores the tight control of media and political discourse during the late Imperial Russian period, reflecting the regime's intolerance of dissenting or provocative political statements.
• U.S. Senate Quorum Controversy U.S. Vice-President James S. Sherman, serving as President of the Senate, introduced a controversial interpretation of parliamentary quorum rules. He attempted to call a vote with 53 of the 94 Senators absent, proposing that if one Senator from a state was present, the other Senator from that state should be automatically counted towards establishing a quorum. However, this ruling was swiftly challenged and overturned two days later by a decisive 37–17 vote, highlighting the Senate's commitment to maintaining strict procedural standards.
• Cricket Player's Sole Test Match Keki Khursedji Tarapore, an Indian cricket player, participated in his only Test match for India, recording a modest performance with 0-72 in the match. While his statistical contribution was limited, his participation represents an early stage in India's developing international cricket presence.
