INHERITED £1,000,000.
BUT DIES OF PNEUMONIA, 7 PRINCE’S DISTINGUISHED CAREER. HOLDER OF 40 DECORATIONS. United Press Assn.—E’lec Tel.—Copyright. (Received March 11, 8.50 a.m.) NEW YORK, March 10. An attorney undertook the pleasant task to-day to inform Prince Fritz Wilhelm Holm that he had inherited £1,000,000. Upon arriving at the Prince’s hotel the lawyer learned that the Prince had died half-an-houi' before from double pneumonia. Born at Copenhagen 49 years ago, the Prince served King Nicholas of Montenegro. Perhaps the outstanding feat of the Prince’s remarkable career was finding in a remote part of China a famous Destorian monument erected in A.D. 781, to commemorate the arrival of Christian missionaries in the sixth and seventh centuries. He was holder of 40 decorations and a member of 32 scientific societies and the royal academies of thirteen kingdoms. The Prince never wore an overcoat, an eccentricity which probably induced his fatal illness.
