State military probe of mine massacre under way
A state military board led by Major General Milton Foreman opened an inquiry into the Lester mine massacre at Herrin Illinois.

William Rockefeller Dies at 81 Brother of John D Rockefeller
William Rockefeller, head of the New York Standard Oil chapter from 1865 to 1911, died at Rockwood Hall North Rockland after a long illness. He was 81, had suffered a heavy cold during rains, and his death followed widespread public interest over his health and the famous family legacy. The elder Rockefeller was known for civic life and philanthropy, though William’s gifts were far smaller, with a noted contribution to Wellesley College. The Rockefeller family gathered at his deathbed as doctors supervised the end.
