BARON ROTHSCHILD ATTACKED PARIS. ANTI-JEWISH OUTBREAK.
PARIS, Saturday. A most unprovoked attack was made yesterday upon Baron Edward Rothschild. It occurred when the Baron was riding his auto-car in the afternoon in Avenue de Neuilly. A labourer engaged in repairing the road suddenly threw a heavy spade under the wheels of the car, shouting at the same time, “Down with Jews.” Several spokes of the wheal were broken, and parts of the machinery put out of gear, bringing the car to a standstill. The Baron’s driver made effort to arrest the workman, but was prevented by several of the labourer’s fellow workmen, who drove him back. In the meantime, Baron Rothschild was forced to take refuge in a passing cart, amidst the jeers of the labourers. —Dalziel.
In January or February 1901 Abraham and Dora moved with Jacques to Paris.
