ACUTE PLEURISY AsCRIBED
Theory of a Tragedy Credited in
High Quarters in London, Where
It Is Believed the Facts Are
Being Suppressed.

PARIS. December 3O.-Earl Percy
CHenry Algernon George) of London, a
member of the British parliament and
formerly British under secretary of state
for foreign affairs, died here today from
acute pleurisy.
Death occurred at a second.class hotel
situated opposite the railway station. and
the fact that the earl had occupied these
humble lodgings created the impression
that there was something mysterious ir
connection with his illness. 1t was ru-
mored that he had been shot in 4 duel
outside of Paris a few days ago.
These stories were denied today by the
attending physicians.
The hotel management explained that
Earl Percy arrived there last week in
perfect health. having engaged rooms in
advance. 1t was his custom. it was said,
to stop at this hotel whenever he visited
the city.
Pleurisy Follows Chill.
Last Sunday he experienced a chill,
which was followed by congestion and
acute pleurisy. Two doctors and three
English nurses were called in and at
tended him. A brother and a sister
were with him at the end.
Despite assurances of those who should
know to the contrary, the rumor per-
sists. today that the earl received mortal
wounds in q duel with pistols His
challenger is reported to have been an
Englishman in whose family the earl
had been received as friend. The
story continues that the two men be-
came bitter enemies. and left England
to settle their grievances quietly on the
outskirts of Paris. A bullet. 1t is said,
passed through the earls lungs.
Theory of Duel Credited.
LONDON. December 30-The death CT
the earl. when it became known here
today, created something of a sensa-
ton among those who are more or less
acquainted with the Englishman's af-
fairs. The theory of duel is credited
in high quarters. where it is believed
that the family Is suppressing the fact.
