The New York Supreme Court orders electric wires to be placed underground immediately in New York City. Harris Cohen of Baxter Street, known as the Original Cohen, loses heavily after 29 years in clothing sales, with losses estimated between 80 000 and 100 000 tied to race bets.

Ex Governor Ordway rebuts Jud LaMoure charges, saying prior investigations by a Yankton grand jury and justice department agents cleared him of fraud or collusion and that later auditor inquiries during Ordway’s term found no malfeasance.

Browning Dies in Venice After Luminous Life and Quests
Robert Browning the famed poet dies in Venice. He lived much on the continent after his wife’s death and was known for his intense, sometimes opaque verse. Critics varied, some calling him the greatest poet of his time while others found him unreadable. Browning’s Italian studies shaped his language and sensibilities, earning him the label Italian Englishman. He produced early dramas Paracelsus and Stafford, with mixed success, and his later poetry, especially Men and Women, remains debated. He was admired by some women and loathed by others, yet he retained independence and dignity until death.
