RECEIVES FATAL
WOUND IN DUEL
FORMER STATE OFFICIAL OF
ENGLAND IS VICTIM
DIRECT CAUSE OF DEATH DUE TO
PNEUMONIA
Earl Percy of England Engages in a
Fight Under the Code of Honor
and Succumbs to illness
Which Results
Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Word is received
here of the death in Paris today of
Earl Percy CHenry Algernon George,
formerly under secretary of state for
foreign affairs.
According to the family, death was
due to complications following an at
tack of pneumonia. 1t is widely re-
ported here, however. the earl's fatal
illness followed wounds received in a
duel in which he is said to have taken
part in Paris some days ago.
Earl Percy was the Oldest son and
heir of the seventh duke of Northum-
berland He had represented South
Kensington in parliament since 1895
In 1902-03 he was under secretary of
state for India, and in the two sue
ceeding years under foreign secretary.
He was born in 1871 and was unmar-
ried. His home was in London.
The death of the earl, when it be-
came known here. created something
of a sensation among those who are
more or less acquainted with the En-
glishmans affairs.
The theory of a duel is credited in
high quarters, where it is believed the
family is suppressing the facts.
Dispatches from Paris today state
that the physicians and others immedi-
ately interested. deny positively that
the earl had taken part in a duel. No
proof is obtainable. the dispatch add,
that the death was due to other than
natural causes, though the rumor of a
personal encounter between Percy and
another Englishman is current in that
city.
Despite assurances of those who
should know, the rumor persists today
that Earl Percy received mortal
wounds in a duel with pistols. His
challenger is reported to have been
an Englishman. in whose family the
earl had been received as a friend.
The story continues that the men be-
came bitter enemies. and came here
from England TO settle their grievance
on the outskirts of Paris.
A bullet, it is said, passed through
the earl's lungs.
