 ESTATES IN ENGLAND

With the close of the war, Charles Edward Gordon, Seattle shipyard worker, who claims the title of Mar Guis of Huntley, and the ownership of the Gordon estate ill Aberdeen shire, Scotland, yesterday began talk ing legal steps which he expects to land home in the British House oi Lords, says the Seattle Times.
 Gordon, now a cleaner-up in the Seattle North Pacific Shipbuildine Company's big Duwamish Waterway plant, retained a British law firm to handle his case at the end of 1913, but on the outbreak of the war was advised by the attorneys that the case could not be pressed because of the uncertainty of the war period On their advice, he dropped his fight until the close of the war.
 He maintains that he is a first cousin of the Earl of Aberdeen and is member of the Gordon clan of Edinburgh, also that he is named for Chinese" Gordon, famous mem Der of that clan. sThe late Marquis of Huntley, he says, served as Brit ish ambassador to Denmark. Sweden, Prussia and Russia. The Gordon es- tate in Aberdeenshire, he claims, is the second largest in Scotland.
 Gordon is 56 years old and in 1892 married Mary Star in Kotzebne. Al aska, his wife being part Eskimo. They have four children, the eldest being boy who was christened George Washington Nome Gordon and who is declared to be the first white child born in Nome. This lad is now attending school in Nanaimo, B. C., Gordon, his wife and three younger children live in neat home in Foster. near Seattle.
 In Nome Gordon met Lord Fox Ramsay, the English sportsman, and. after talking over the situation with him, began his effort to have the British courts recognize his claim to the Scottish title and estates.
 According to his story, Gordon ran away from Yarmouth College when he was IS years old and for years wandered about the world. living in Japan, Siberia, Australia and Alaska. While livcing in the Far North in the early nineties, Gordon claims that he discovered gold in the sands of what is now the Nome beach. He laid this information before Dan. Rathborn, son of a Wyoming cattle king, he says, and they went to that part of Seward Peninsula in 1898. voyaging in schooner from Kotze- bue Sound. On the boat with them was a prospector named Higgins who hailed from Coos Bay. Ore.

COMMENT OF PARIS NEWSPA- PIERS ON KILLING COUNT
 VON MlRBACH.
ASSASSINS NOT IDENTIFIED
Former Premier kerensky Says Whiie He Could Not Feel "Elated Owe, Death of a Human Being, 1t Is a
 Good Thing For Russia.'

Paris.-In their comment on the assassination of Count von Mirbach the Paris newspapers are unanimous in expressing the opinion that the event will be likely to cause compIi- cations the importance of which eau not be gauged.
 "The first awakening of the ven- geance of Russia against German ryr- rany,' is the light in which Le Jour nal views it, while the Petit Journal wonders if it will not open a nev phase of Germanys difficulties in tne east"
 "In the state of tension existing between Russia and Germany" says the Figaro, this assassination may lead to the most interesting complica- tions.'
 Humanity considers the act not a vulgar assassination, but an act of open rebellion by exasperated pa triotism."
 The assassination as the Matin views it, Shows that there are still in Russia men concerned with the dignity of their country and imbued with patriotism"
 Alexander F. Kerensky, former pre- mier of Russia, when informed by the Associated Press of the assassination of General Count von Mirbach, GeS man ambassador at Moscow, declared that while he could not feel elated at the death of a human being" he could not help saying "it is a good thing for Russia.
 M. Kerensky seemed reluctant to believe the news, asking repeatedly, "are you sure?"
 When informed that the news seemed perfectly reliable, as it origi- hated in Berlin, he said:
 "This may be the beginning of the renaissance of Russia"
 'But now the Germans will surely go to Moscow" he added sadly It was only few days ago that Kereai- sky, in a talk with the correspondent expressed his opinion that the only reason German troops had not yet ,ap- peared in Moscow was because Voa Mirbach had not required their pres  ence there
 As soon as news of the assassinfs tion came to M, Tchitcherin, Russian foreign minister, M. Tenitcherin, and his associate, M. Markham, called at the German embassy and expressed the regret and indignation of the gov ernment at the occurrence, says Rnrlin diSuatch forwarded by the HaV. as correspondent at Basel.
 The identity of the assassins has not been established, nor have they been arrested, the message states.
 It appears, according to these ad- vices, that with Count von Mirbacn when he was attacked were Herr Ritzler, counsellor of the embassy, and a German officer. Neither was injured.
