CrownPiince of Turfaey Killed, Says Authority Death of Heir to Throne Claimed to Have Been De creed Account Unconcealed Hostility to War PARIS, April B.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)—The question whether the death of the Turkish Crown Prince Yussof Izzedin was suicide or assassination is no longer open to doubt, according to an authority here on Otto man affairs, who says: •*The prince was assassinated on the first of February iff his palace of Zind jirli-Conyou by his ordnance officer, Hassan Bey.” "Long before the war.” this authority avers, “when Enver Bey succeeded in having a crown council instituted for him. Prince Yussof was condemned to die. Since the war began he had been more than ever eliminated from all in fluence. "When the sultan fell ill during the summer of 1915, the eventuality of the accession of the prince preoccupied the committee of union and progress. His hostility to the war had been uncon cealed; his accession to the throne meant the opposition of the monarch to the projects of the government and menaced its existence. "One evening in September the prin cipal leaders of the committee of un ion and progress were secretly assem bled in the house of the Sheikh VI Is lam. Hairi Effendi. Enver Bey, Talaat Pacha. Bedri Bey, the prefect of police: Hussein Djahld, vice president of the chamber, and Behaeddine Chakir, pri vate physician of the prince were pres ent. Hussein Djahid called attention to the difficulty of Turkey's situation at the time, deprived of all means of re newing its supplies of ammunition and consequently anxious as to the develop ments of the Dardanelles campaign. In those circumstances he pointed out the presence on the throne of a prince known to have been opposed to the war might be useful In obtaining a favorable peace from the allies. Others present expressed the same view. It raised a lively opposition, voiced by Enver Pa cha. To leave the way to the throne to Yussof might result in giving the com mittee a master, he argued. The sec ond heir. Prince Wahid Eddin, he ob served, nourished no better sentiments toward the committee, but it was impos sible to suppress everyone in the palace and the death of Yussof Izzedin must certainly prove a salutary lesson. “The deliberators separated without taking a decision but they Ynet again at the same place a few days later when four determined voices called for the death of Prince Yussof: they prevailed over all resistance, but left the date for the execution to be determined later according to the turn of events. There upon came the Bulgarian accord with Turkev and intervention at the side or the allied empires, followed by the evacuation of the Gallipoli peninsula >by the entente allies. The time was ' considered propitious and on the first of February the prince was assassinat ed in his palace of Zindjirll-Coyou by his ordnance officer. Hassan Bey. , -It was officially announced that the cause of the prince's death, suicide bv 1 the opening of important veins in his | left arm, would be certified by Turkish I and foreign doctors. "When the certificate appeared there ' were no names of foreign doctors sign- I ed and those of Turkish nationality were | all affiliated with the government, with Enver Bey or with the committee of . union and progress. "Prince Wahid Eddin, the new heir ■ to the throne, must by this time know I what Is current information in Constan tinople now; that Yussof was assassi- I nated. and that he was assassinated by order The day of his condemnation la known as well as the house where i the verdict was rendered and the namec •of those who were present." — Zeppelins Found Independent of Weather Condition LONDON.— (Correspondence of the ! Associated Press.—Figures prepared I by the British meteorological office show J that Zeppelins are to all Intents and purposes independent of weather condi ! tlons. Generally, the assumption has been that Zeppelins are fair-weather craft, and dare venture forth only in light air.*, and on dark nights, that even moderate winds were dangerous to them, and that snow would be fatal, but every one of these theories is disproved by the of ficial figures for the twenty-one occa sions on which they have visited Eng land. The Zeppelins have come in vir tually every phase of the moon, from new to full. They have had the win. from every quarter of the compass, ant with wind that has ranged from "light airs” to “strong breezes.” The ther mometer has ranged from freezing tc sweltering summer heat. There have | been skies of every variety: there ha.- been mist on several occasions: rain still more often. During the raid of March 5 there was winter weather o’ considerable severity with heavy snow fall In progress and squalls of wind. Bombs were dropped upon one towt. during a snow squall so bitter that the local papers spoke of it as a “blizzard.” The official wind figures show that two I raids took place in a wind of twenty- I five to thirty-one miles an hour.

This time especial emphasis is being laid on the possibility of pupils in higher schools, who are now or have been earning money of their own, sub scribing even more than they did last time. School children subscribed to the thirn loan about 40,000,000 marks, it is esti mated. In twenty institutions in Berlin alone the pupils put in 82,663 marks tn sums of one mark upward. To encour age a repetition of this willingness to subscribe, the magistrate or Berlin has arranged to supply to the schools such clerical necessities as appeals to par ents, receipts and subscription blanks, so that uo school will be under any expense and may subscribe, clear, as much as possible. Many boys in higher schools, it is said, have of late been earning even more money than many adults in nor mal times, and yet, of course, do not have an adult’s expenses. “These higher schools and continuation schools must be mobilized." says the first appeal. "These sums must wherever possible be made liquidable for the fourth war loan.” DRIVER IS KILLED AS OIL TRUCK TURNS OVER MILLEDGEVILLE. Ga., April B.

Mothers’Pension Bill Is Pending Before Congress Measure Authorizes President to Appoint Commission to Inquire Into Child Poverty Causes and Suggest Remedy BY JUDGE HENRY NEIL. Bather of Motli.r*’ Pension System. WASHINGTON, April B.—Eight hun dred million dollars colected by taxa tion was spent in the United States last year to maintain institutions tor de pendents and defectives, more than double the cost ot ten years ago. Seven hundred and fifty million dol lars collected by taxation was spent for tiee public schools in the United States last year. In 1892, in the city of Philadelphia, some public-spirited citizens attempted to organize a meeting to promote the idea of free public schools, to be sup ported by general taxation. They were set upon by the police, beaten, thrown into prison, called anarchists and unde sirables. Some property owners said it was confiscation to tax one man's property to pay for the ‘education of another man s children. It has since been thoroughly demon strated that free public schools are the most beneficial of all tax supported in stitutions. Last year over $10,000,000 was paid in mothers' pensions in the twenty-six states now operating this system of abolishing child-poverty. Congressman Keating and Senator Kenyon have introduced into the house and senate of the United States a joint resolution to authorize the president to appoint a commission to inquire into the causes of child-poverty and suggest remedies therefore. This commission will find some way to abolish child-poiverty and thereby asve the taxpayers millions of dollars and will also find away to save the great waste of child life. Half of the children born of parents who are poor, die before they reach school age, six years. This, the richest country In t’ne world blessed with abundant natural resources and a power of production unequaled tn he history of the human race, can abol ish child-poverty and at the same time ■ave the taxpayers millions of dollars now being spent to care for dependents id defectives who have been ruined by child-poverty. Those surviving child-poverty are the weak (physiclally, mentally and moral ly) who fill our jails and asylums. I now ask every patriotic citizen to write to his congressman and ask for a copy of this resolution (known as H. I. Res. 142) and then to ask his senators and congressmen to aid in this attempt to improve the health and happiness of /he children of our country.
