IGISOI Succumbs 0 and Mrs. Kansas City, Mo., April 13.—Wil- liam Rockhill Nelson, editor and owner of the Kansas City Star, died at his home here this morning. Mr. Nelson, who was 74 years old, had been in ill health months and had been confined to his home since last December. Uraemic poi- saning caused his death, according to physicians. Mr. Nelson took an active part in the management of the Star up until about a month ago when his condi- tion changed for the worse. Until then, members of the Star staff gathered at his bedside several times weekly, for the purposé of discussing with Mr. Nelson questions of editorial policy. At these conferences he would dictate editorials and outline ideas for cartoons and feature staries. Refused to Obey Doctors. Although his physicians constantly advised against the part he was tak- several ! didate, active or receptive, ing during the last few months, in the management of the paper, he refused to obey them, reminding them that it was in the building of the Star he had been happiest and that he would not be content without some- thing to occupy his mind. During the last month, however, Mr. Nelson had been conscious only at in- tervals. At each period his mind was clear and he constantly asked questions about his newspaper and the mem- bers of his staff. Although he did not enter the newspaper business until he was near- 1y 40 years old, he brought to it such originality, ability and energy ‘that he built up one of the greatest news. papers in the country. Born in Fort Wayne. Mr. Nelson was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, March 7, 1841. He came of two centuries of American ances- tors. His maternal grandfather, Wil- liam Rockhill, settled in Indiana when that state was a wildérness in 1819, and was the first farmer in America ta plant a thousand acres of corn. His father, Isaac DeGroff Nelson, was identified with the upbuilding of the state and took an active hand in its political life. William Rockhill Nelson was edu- cated at Notra Dame university, After a short experience as a young- ster in cotton growing In Georgia just after the war, he returned to Indiania and became a general contractor. He engaged in the building of roads, pavements, and bridges, and was asso- ciated in a contract for the construc- tion of the Southern Illtnois stato penitentiary, Tilden’s Campaign Manager. Intense admiration for the reform work of Samuel J.\Tilden brought him into contact with that great democrat and when only 34 yvears old, he beé- came. Tilden’s Indiana campaign manager. Hig interest in political icadership made him turn to news- raper work as the best way to in- fluence men in the mass. He bought an interest in the Fort Wayne Senti- nel and a business reverse determined him to devote all his time to journal- ism. He soon became convinced that the cpportunities in Fort Wayne were too small, and after looking the fleld over, he decided on Kaneas City as the most promising v of the country. Te persuaded his Fort Wayme partner, Sfamuel E. Morss to make the venture with him. They sold their Fort Wayne interests, went to Kansas City end s'arted The Ewening Star as a Verls f v name affernanm pewsranes issue the Star urged the necrasity of paving the streets, of getting a park £ystem, of building attractive houses, of planting shrubbery and trees. Mr. Nelson himself had the trees set alons the first Kansas City boulevard. He ‘was constantly instigating movements for city betterment Built Residence District. One of his achievements was the residence district, which ne laid out near his home as an example of what could be done toward city beautifica- tion. He built nearly a hundred modest houses along roads which he lined with stone walls covered with honeysuckles and crimson ramblers. He was intensely interested in fine pictures and he made a collection of reproductions of KEuropean master- pieces done by the best artists who could be found, which he gave to Kansas City. In politics he was, as he often said, “independent but never neutral.” But he would never consider any elec- tive or appointive position. Early in President Taft's administration the suggestion was made in newspaper reports that he might be appointed ambassador to France. He com- mented editorially as follows: editor of the Star is amply occupied, sustained and satisfied with his pres- ent job. He regards himseif as hold- ing a place of greater responsibility and usefulness than any within the gift of the president, or the electorate. Not only has he never been a can- for any office, but he never has asked for the appointment of any one else.” In 1881 Mr. Nelson married Miss Ida Houston. Their one child, a daughter, Mrs, Irwin R. Kirkwood, lives in Kansas City. SAFE CONDUCT WAS ASSURED HARPALYCE British Steamer for Belgium Relief Work Carried Papers Issued by German Minister at The Hague.
