It was learned here today that the brilliant young son of Dr. Zadoc-Kahn, manager of the Rothschild Hospital in Paris, who was slated to succeed his father in this post, committed suicide in the middle of June.
The young Dr. Kabn left a letter to his father in which he said he was unable to stand France’s disaster which he witnessed as an army physician. He was a grandson of the famous French chief rabbi, Zadoc-Kahn.
Under the directorship of the elder Dr. Kahu the hospital is continuing its activities without hindrance, according to Paris reports. The municipal subvention to the institution is continuing.
