A threat ened outbreak on the part of a com pany of Turkish troops attached to the garrison at the Yildiz Kiosk was promptly put down this morning with a single volley from a loyal battalion. Three of the mutineers were killed or wounded. The murderous spirit manifested it self when tho company was assembled, which threatened for a few moments to result In serious trouble. Hurry orders were Issued and a battalion from a regiment recently brought in from Salonica was marched to the scene and one volley sufficed to cow thc mutin eers. The rebellious troops were un der orders to leave for the provinces, but they refused to depart, withdrew to a field nenr the barracks nnd defied their officers. Tho battalion from Salonica which was drafted into thc capital especially because the men, who arc stanch supporters of thc con stitution, was ordered to attack the rebels. They fired one volley, with the result above set forth, after which the mutineers surrendered and were mado prisoners. Later they wero drawn up on tho public square, tied together and exhibited to tho assembled troops and as rebels who had broken their military oath. This prompt suppression is ex pected to have a salutary effect on tho remainder of the Yildiz Kiosk garri son, which is suspected of being antag onistic to the constitution. SHIPS FINNS TO NEVADA.

CURTIS IS GIVEN HIS TKEEDOM Morte Akt for Ball" and Says He Will Fight to the Last Ditch Appeal Is Taken. New York, Nov. 7. From a cell In the Tombs prison Charles W. Mono now directs the efforts of his counsel to procure hia freedom, ho having been sentenced yesterday to servo 1C years ' thc i'eTa p,,, nt Atlanta. Ga.. , , ,. - ... , . - - National Hank of North America and making false entries in tho books of the bank. Alfred II. Curtis, ex-president nf tho defunct bank, who was tried jointly and convicted with Morse, was given his liberty on a suspended sentence. While Morse's lawyers immediately applied for and obtained a stay of exe cution for 10 days after sentence had been imposed, it is probable that Mono will remain a prisoner In the tombs until Monday, as Judgo Hough has re fused to admit him to ball. Thc Mono lawyers applied late yes terday to the United States Court of Appeals for a writ to show cause why their client should not be admitted to bail, and thc writ was granted, but it Is not returnable until Monday. Whether a new trial will bo granted Morse is problematical. Judgo La combe granted a writ of error to his lawyers today. The writ Is rcturnablo December 3, and is based on tho Usual groundsexceptions taken by the de fense during the trial and exceptions to the Indictment itself. This step had to be taken before application tor, bail could bo made, and it also leads to tho argument for a new trial. Morse's lawyers say their client haa instructed them to fight "to the last ditch." MUST LIMIT HEIGHT. New York Atchltect Protests Against 300-Foot Buildings. New York, Nov. 7. Dangers of con gestion In downtown New York, should the proposed new building codo fail to restrict mora radically than nqw pro posed the height of buildings hereafter constructed, were dwelt upon by prom inent architects and engineers before the building committee of tho board of aldermen today. Speaking for the American Institute of Architects and Society of Hcau Arts, Ernest Flagg, an architect, opposed tho recommendation of the commission because it fixed the limit of height so high "that scarcely anyono would care to build higher." Mr. Flagg pointed out tho danger from congestion in times of sudden panic, if tho people in all tho 300-foot buildings which the new regulations would allow to be constructed wero to attempt to get out at once. "The street!," concluded Mr. Flagg, "could not hold them. To continue this policy is to invite a disaster tho Uko of which has never been known." The committee on congestion of pop ulation submitted figures to show that in London, Paris, Herlin, Vienna and every largo center of population in Europe the maximum height permitted is considerably less than 100 feet. The New York Board of fire under writers and thu Municipal Art commis sion also voiced opposition to the 300 and 350-foot limitation. No action was taken by the alder men. Made Drunk by Japanese.
