This situation was made known by

known. the only property OF value In
the estate Is the single piece Of real
estate which has been snatched from
Mrs. Yerkes by the federal court,
namely the home In which she lives.

widow without a say In the care or

possession OF which she has so tena-
ciously struggled.
All Belongs to Creditors.
There isn't n dollar of the Yerkes

creditors" said on of the lawyers con-
nected with the litigation here. There
are S3.5OO.000 Of unsecured claims and
the only asset with which to pay them
is the Fifth avenue house and the art
gallery.
The bitterness OF the struggle for
the possession OF the Yerkes mansion
is the most apparent Up TO this time
Mrs. Yerkes has felt that possession
was nine points of the law. but that
prop was struck from under her by
court Wednesday. All she has left
now is a stinted possession of the
house only so long as she is sick and
unable to leave. She can not touch a

Constantlnople. - Realizing that
not only his power but his life
itself lie In imminent danger from the
young Turks movement against the
capital. tho sultan, according to a gen.
orally accepted rumor. began secret
negotiations with the young Turks
leaders In an effort 10 convince them
that he is not responsible for the up
rising.
The Third army corps, or the invad-
ing arm OF the young Turks. Is just
outside the city. They have agreed
not to enter the capital until they re-
ceive an answer TO their demand for
a dismissal Of the cabinet.
The troops number about $4,000. II
was expected that they would occupy
the suburbs and that the main body
would march to the YildIZ Kiosk In
order TO compel the sultan to surren'
der and to force his abdlcation, but
these plans were not carried out.

has crazed the populace with fear.
The rank and fle OF the mutineers
are anxious TO surrender. as all re-
ports from the young Turks are to the
effect that they have a vastly superior
force and are only delaying the attack
until still other thousands. who are
fiocking to their banner. have arrived
at the place of concentration. which
is but a few miles from the city.
The young Turks have sent an ulti.
matum to the sultan and the new min
istry. embodying the following de-
mands:
The peaceable surrender OF the city.
The establishment of Hilmi
Pasha's cabinet.
The restoration OF their parliament

were expelled as traitors by an edict
of the new ministry.

revolt. including Editor Ali Kiamel of
the Ikdam. Said Pasha, son OF for

Ismail Renal Bey.
These three men are declared to
have been responsible. along with the
sultan, and their execution has been
decreed by the young Turks.
