  • U.S. Vice Consul Robert Imbrie was beaten to death by an angry mob in Tehran, Iran after he photographed a gathering at a sacred watering place where a miracle was said to have taken place.

Imbrie's companion Allen Dulles survived the beating.[36][37]

  • Paris Olympics organizer Pierre de Coubertin lashed back at criticism of the games, calling the Paris press guilty of "magnifying the unpleasant incidents instead of fulfilling its duty and educating the people to a big sport ideal." He also said it was "idiotic" of the French government to build Colombes Stadium so far outside of Paris without the proper transportation facilities. Some of the unfortunate incidents referred to included the French booing of the American flag at a rugby match and complaints over accommodations in the tennis tournament.[42]
  • Japan passed an amendment to its Nationality Law so that Japanese children born in the United States and other jus soli countries would automatically lose their Japanese nationality unless it was expressly retained within fourteen days of birth. The amendment also allowed dual citizens in those countries to easily renounce their Japanese citizenship.[43]
  • Died: Albert Bruce-Joy, 81, Irish sculptor

July 24, 1924 (Thursday)

July 25, 1924 (Friday)

  • The new issue of Workers' Weekly, the newspaper of the Communist Party of Great Britain, included a provocative article entitled "An Open Letter to the Fighting Forces" which included passages such as, "Neither in a class war nor in a military war, will you turn your guns on your fellow workers", and, "Turn your weapons on your oppressors." The question of whether to charge editor John Ross Campbell with incitement to mutiny became a controversial issue known as the Campbell Case.[46][47]
  • Greece announced it was expelling 50,000 Armenians from the country.[33]
