Gas Kills Rockefeller Relative in His Home
Seventy nine year old third cousin of John D Rockefeller died of asphyxia at his home at 32 Morningside Drive last night. Found unconscious by his daughter Mrs Edward MacArthur, he had recently devised a contrivance to operate a chandelier gas jet and may have touched it accidentally. He was a Columbia student and later studied steamboat engineering. In the Civil War he captained the transport C P Smith, a vessel President Lincoln rode on for three days. In Paris, a new bridge over the Rhone will be named Wilson Bridge, opening July 14, credited to Senator Herriot and Lyons officials, replacing the Lafayette name.

The Provost Marshal General ordered a broad revision of selective service classifications. Governors will investigate why local Class 1 registrants are far below the 28.7 percent national average and thousands in Class 4 should move to Class 1 or 2.
