By I mtrd p r ,,, NEW YORK, March 30— Messages of condolence from all parts of the world poured into the sumptuous Fifth avenue home where Otto H. Kahn, banker, patron of the arts and philanthropist, lay in death today. They came from persons in all walks of life, for this handsome, white-haired man, who succumbed to a heart attack in the offices of his international banking firm, counted among his intimate lriends, statesmen at home and abroad, churchmen of all faiths, leaders in the theatrical snd operatic sphere, and in the world of art and in society. Funeral arrangements W'ere to be announced soma time today. It was understood the funeral would be private. His drath came as a distinct shock to Wall Street, where he was regarded not only as an astute financier, but as an authority on economics, taxation and international affairs. He was stricken with a heart attack while he lunched in a private dining room in the office of Kuhn, Locb As Cos., yesterday. Mrs. Kahn Collapses Rumors of his death spread rapidly through the financial community, but confirmation was withheld until 3 p. m. when the market closed. Physicians who arrived within a few minutes after the banker collapsed found him beyond aid. Dr H. S, Hvman. Mr. Kahn s personal physician, explained that the financier had been suffering from general arteriosclerosis in recent years, as well as high blood pressure. Mrs. Kahn and Roger Wolfe Kahn, a son, w'cll-known as a jazz orchestra leader and aviation enthusiast, were at home when word of the tragedy was telephoned. Mrs. Kahn collapsed and a physician was called to attend her. Morgan Visits Office Soon after the financial news tickers flashed word of the financier’s death, J. P. Morgan, accompanied by two partners, Thomas W. Lamont and Russell Leffingwell, arrived at the Kuhn, Locb offices. They remained five minutes. A crowd soon filled the narrow street in front of the building and remained until the coffin bearing the financier's body was taken away. Despite his illness, Mr. Kahn had .en devoted as ever to his musical and artistic philanthropies. At the Metropolitan Opera House, of which he was chairman of the board for twenty-three years until his resignation in November, 1931, plans were discussed for holding a memorial at one of three performances remaining of the current season. In recent years. Mr. Kahn began limiting his activities in the affairs of his firm. He divested himself of directorships of all but one corporation, the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company. He retained directorship or trusteeship in noncommercial organizations, however. DOG THAT WOULDN’T FIGHT SHOT BY POLICE ( ollic Bits Other Animals, But Refuses to Do Battle. A collie dog who took a curious delight in biting other dogs, but would not fight, was shot and killed today by police. According to Ernest Lohr. 1050 West Forty-second street, this collie had bitten his dog and about twenty others. Police say that w’hile they were chafing the elusive collie around the neighborhood of Forty-second and Byron streets, that children trailed beside it, making it impossible to take a pot shot. The dog would nip other canines, but when the victim offered to do battle, the strange collie nonchalantly walked away. The collies head will be taken to the state board of health for examination. Police ordered that all dogs which had been bitten be penned up for ten days.
