Baron Roth.chiId Dead.

FRANKFORT, Jan. 26.-BarOn Will
helm Won Rothschild, who died at noon
yesterday, was the grandson Of Maier
Anslem Rothschild, who founded the
great Rothschild banking house. He
was born in Naples May 16, 1928. His
father, Karl, was one of the Ave sons Of
the founder and established branch in
Naples. He was the oldest son and was
taken into the business by his uncle,
Anslem, who had no son. For the same
reason all Of the sons of Karl were taken
into the Frankfort business. 1t is init
mated that the whole Rothschild bank
ing system represents something ap-
preaching billion dollars. The Paris
branch has nominal capitalization Of
$l0,0O0,OOO, but its resources can be sur
missed when it is said that in 1S41 1t lost
$60.0OO.0O0, but not for moment was
the house checked in its business, The
20 Rothschiid families in Europe in spite
OF their numerous charities cannot spend

JACKSON, KY, Jan. 2S.-The sharp
est fight in the history OF Kentucky
moonshining occurred Friday morning
between a revenue party of five and a
force Of moonshiners on Elkhorn creek,
on the line between Pike and Knott
counties. Elkhorn creek is ten miles
from Hindman and 80 miles from Jack
son. the nearest railway station. and this,
added to the fact that the entire posse
of deputy United States marshals was
captured, prevented the news from reach
ing revenue officials sooner. United
States Marshal James received official
notification Of the fight from the revenue
officer at Hindman and will send a
strong party of revenue officers into the

LONDON, Jan. 29.-It was officially
announced late last evening that King
Edward had ordered Saturday to be OBJ
served as day of general mourning. All
the banks will be closed and business sus-
pended.
The arrangements for the funeral have
been only partially determined. Almost
everything thus far is provisional and
subject to the approval of the king, who
will come to London today to look over
what has been proposed and to give his
approval or disapproval.
BY order of the king the Office of works
directs that all draperies displayed by
citizens shall be of purple. The process
sion from st. Georges chapel royal at
Windsor to Frogmore has been abandon
ed, and the coffin will remain in the chap
ell until the day of interment, which will
probably be Monday.
The king and queen. with the kaiser,
will attend the memorial service in st.
Georges chapel, Windsor, Sunday.
In order to give Londoners full OPP
portunity to witness the funeral pro-
cession it has been decided to extend
the route, which is now fixed to pass

park and past st. James palace to Pic
