Chicago reports Edith Rockefeller McCormick gravely ill and unlikely to resume public life after years as Chicago’s society leader and patroness of opera. Once the world’s richest woman, she faced financial strains, closed her town house, and reduced obligations to ease burdens on others.

Lawson Indemnity Inquiry Reveals Questioned Dues and Travel
Lawson submitted a list of indemnity companies and named six with less than 600000 in impaired capital stock. He cited Ameri can Fidelity and Casualty Company of Richmond Va as a test case. He said dues as a NACIC member had been paid from state funds once, and this year he did not think the $75 annual dues were paid from state funds. Other officials’ traveling expenses came under scrutiny as Lawson said audits were required. Barnhart noted charges by Robert M. Lambie to Wyoming for private business and by Attorney General Lee for a Chicago bar convention trip. Lawson denied holding office or stock in any supervised company and said his father in law W H Keim was deputy fire marshal until recently.
