Died. Captain Paul Koenig, 66, Wartime commander of the famed German merchant submarine Deutschland; after long illness; in Gnadau, Germany. In July 1916 he startled the world by running the Deutschland through the Allied blockade, bobbing up off the Virginia Capes with a valuable cargo of dyestuffs. While he unloaded and reloaded at Baltimore, eight Allied warships waited in fanwise formation outside the three-mile limit. The Deutschland slipped through them, carried Captain Koenig home to a triumph that was redoubled when he made another round trip to the U. S. the following autumn.

Died. Viscount Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon, 71, Britain's Wartime Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; of heart disease after long illness; at Fallodon, Christen Bank, Northumberland. He was Foreign Secretary longer (1905-16) than any other man, was instrumental in shaping the policy which kept England friendly to France, hostile to Germany. In June 1914 he sought desperately to avert the World War, as long as possible delayed sending to Germany the ultimatum on Belgian neutrality which preceded England's declaration of war. For this he was blamed by Englishmen who felt that his hesitation encouraged Germany to strike first, by Germans who retorted that his policy of friendship emboldened France. Appointed temporary Ambassador to the U. S. in 1919. he spent four months in Washington without presenting his credentials to President Wilson, who was too ill to receive him. After England's general strike of 1926 Viscount Grey helped force the split which drove his onetime associate David Lloyd George out of the Liberal Party. Eye trouble which left him almost totally blind forced him to retire from politics, devote himself to fishing and duck raising on his 2,000 Northumberland acres. He is bitterly attacked in Lloyd George's memoirs, published on the day of his death.* Died. Elinor Medill Patterson, 78, daughter of the Chicago Tribune's founder, Joseph Medill; relict of its onetime editor, Robert Wilson Patterson; aunt of its present publisher, Col. Robert Rutherford McCormick; mother of President Joseph Medill Patterson of the New York Daily News and of Editor Eleanor Medill Patterson of the Washington Herald; of a heart attack; after long illness; in Chicago. Died. Clay Meredith Greene, 83, of injuries suffered when he fell and broke his hip last May; in San Francisco, Calif. A famed playwright and librettist at the turn of the Century, he was eleven times (1891-98, 1902-05) Shepherd of New York's Lambs Club, was the oldest member of San Francisco's famed Bohemian Club. His passion play Nazareth was the first produced in the U. S. (1901), is revived every third year at Santa Clara, Calif. Died. Rev. Dr. Charles Henry Parkhurst, 91, famed oldtime foe of Tammany, of injuries suffered when he, a somnambulist, fell from the porch roof of his home in Ventnor, N. J. In 1892, as pastor of Manhattan's socialite Madison Square Presbyterian Church, bushy-bearded, scholarly Dr. Parkhurst amazed his congregation by a sermon in which he charged that gambling and prostitution were protected by New York's police. He hotly described the Tammany administration as "a damnable pack of administrative bloodhounds, polluted harpies, and a lying, perjured, rum-soaked, libidinous lot." When he failed either to substantiate or retract his charges, a grand jury denounced him for "dragging New York into the mire and wiping his feet on it." He determined to collect proof of his charges personally. Disguised in checked black & white trousers, red flannel tie and slouch hat, as a rich Westerner eager to see New York, he went at night into brothels and Chinese opium dens, consorted with gamblers, crooks and prostitutes in Manhattan's red light districts. In one month he collected 284 affidavits to prove his case, therewith forced the State government to appoint an investigating committee which revealed a malodorous system of police graft. The resultant reform movement sent Tammany Boss Richard Croker scurrying to exile in Ireland, by huge majorities elected William L. Strong mayor, made Theodore Roosevelt commissioner of police. Died. Robert Augustus Chesebrough. 96, retired president of Chesebrough Manufacturing Co., inventor of vaseline, a founder of the New York Real Estate Board; of old age; in Spring Lake, N. J.
