Wednesday, Februay 6, 1924. Two Deaths.





















Woodrow Wilson was laid to rest in a vault beneath the center isle of the chapel of the Washington National Cathedral, making him the only U.S. President to be buried in Washington, D.C.

There were protests outside the German Embassy due to the legation refusing to offer condolences for the death of the late President.  It also refused, at first, to fly its flag at half staff.

Later that day it relented and the flag was at half staff.

Easter Sunday, April 12, 1914. Rumblings of revolution.


The IWW was meeting in New York City, and had a large gathering in Union Square.  The theme of "bread and revolution" obviously had come up.


In Russia, where Easter Sunday was still a week a way, Czar Nicholas II, who would very soon be facing protests by those seeking "bread and revolution", presented the now famous Mosic Fabrege egg, created by Albert Holmström under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé, to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, as well as giving his mother Maria Feodorovna another one which became known as the Catherine the Great egg.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the opening of the Cabrillo Bridge in San Diego.

A convention in Hot Springs, Arkansas which established  the Pentecostal Assemblies of God branch of Protestantism adjourned. It is now the largest branch of Pentecostalism.

Charles Crupelandt won the 19th Paris–Roubaix tour.

Governor Carey was in an argument.
