Loebs investiga ion so far shows
that the smuEgled gowns had been
made in Paris by a famous designer,
for many women of exceptional social
prominence at Boston, New York and
Washington, and the reason for of
fering such a large sum to suppress
the investigation was to shield these
women from the unpleasant public ty

The collector does not believe these
women knew that their gowns were
to be smueglcd into the country, but

Without Fear-civlians Killed
Last Tuesday Night Were

London, April 19-" Should fight

would be enormous" is The opinion OF
an Army officer who witnessed the
revolutionary outbreak at the Turk.
ish capitol last Tuesday
| "As an instance, the officer con
tineud, there was a clash Tuesday
might between two small sections of
soldiers. Three soldiers were killed
and seven wounded whereas the cas-.
ualities among civilians amounted to
sixty. This is accounted for by the
fact that the populace, apparently
without fear, mingled freely with the
troops and received large number
of bullets intended for the rebels. -
This officer estimated that at least
100000 rounds of ball cartridges
were fired Tuesday night to celebrate
the success Of the revolt and he be.
lieves that many of the women and
children must have been killed or
wounded in their homes, as the walls
of the houses have no more resisting
power than so much paper.
The foreign official opinion in Tur-
key is strongly favorable to the
young Turks contention that the re.
volt of Tuesday was engineered by
reactionaries, but it is not believed
that the sultan had any knowledge
of their intentions. The rcactionaries
hoped to abolish the constitution and
restore the old regime, Their moui-
entary success might have been avert.

stand.
Continuing the officer said that the
foreigners moved about the streets
of ConstantinOple without the slight

populace, and that the members Of
the American embassy were cOnspic-
certain the reason of the uprising.
Nazim Pasha, former minister of
Justice, who was shot by mistake for
the minister of marine, was on his
way to parliament from Berca, where
he had been calling on American
friends, when he was killed.
