TROOPS FIRE ON REBELS.
Turkish Rebelt Quickly Subdued
Single Volley.
by
Constantinople, Nov. 2. 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.

15 YEARS IN PRISON
New York Bank Wrecker and Ice
King Gets Severe Sentence.
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.
