RICH SP|NSTER ENDS
LIFE At PALISADES
Body of Miss Helen Van Nos
trand Found in Hudson River
at North Bergen.
SLIPPERS AT TOP OF CRAG
Apparently Climbed Down Cliff
in Stockinged Feet-Wan-
dered About Clad Only
in Kimono.

The body OF Miss Helen Van Nos
trand. ff:y-one years old. was found
Yesterday morning in the Hudson
River, near Clayton's boat house, in
North Bergen. The police say she had
committed suicide. She lived with her
brother in law. Edward Cox. at No. 12S
34th street, Woodcliffe, Hudson County
She was possessed of considerable
riches.
The woman was missed from home
Tuesday night, and search for her
was begun by her relatives. 1t was
found that she had left the house
dressed only in a kimono and pair OF
slippers. She had been melancholy be-
cause OF the failure Of physicians to
cure her OF a nervous affection from
which she had suffered for years, and
her relatives had been keeping close
watch on her. as they feared she might
attempt her life.
Tuesday night she retired at her
usual time, and after the other mem
bers of the family had gone to bed
stole from the house and hurried to
tho Palisades, In Woodcliffe, about a
quarter Of a mile from her home. A
member of the family missed her from
her room. and search was started. The
police were asked to aid.
A pair of slippers which were iden-
titled as those Of Miss Van Nostrand
were found in clump Of bushes at the
top of the Palisades. AS she could not
have cleared the shingle at the base OF
the crag in case she had jumped from
the summit it is believed she climbed
down to the shore in her stockinged
feet.
Captain Marcy was hunting about in
the woods on the top Of the Palisades
when he came upon fancy embroid-
cred slirper. Cox Immediately identi-
fled It as belonging to his sister-in-law.
A further search revealed the other
slipper a few feet away. Both these
slippers were close to the rocky path
which leads to Clayton's boathouse.
This path is a rough and winding one,
about $50 feet long, and the woman
bent on suicide must have suffered Sc
yerely from her walk along 1t.
At first it was believed the woman
might have thrown herself from the
ton of the Palisades, but the body was
free from marks such as would have
been made had she done so. County
PHYSICIAN King says the woman was
drowned, and that there are no marks
NJ violence on the body.
The search was extended to the Hud-
son River shore after the slippers had
heen found, but it was not until yester-
day that the woman's body was found
floating in the water. 1t was taken
ashore. and after being identified as
that of Miss Van Nostrand was re-
moved to the morgue at North Bergen.
The body will be shipped to-day to
Baldwins, Long Island, where two SIS
ters of the dead woman live. Burial
will be in Greenfield Cemetery

estate Of War Continues" Says
Official Note by Turkey, Re-
ferring to Her South
ern Neighbor.
TROOPS HOLD POSITIONS
Beleaguered Towns Will Not
Be Revictualled, Thus De.
priving Athens of Her
Strongest Reason
for Holding Out.

Constantinople, Dec. Am offlciaa
note issued this evening says: "An ar
misticc has been concluded with Bull.
garia, Servia and Montenegro. The
state Of war with Greece continues"
Although the complete terms of the
protocol have not been made public, it
is learned that the question of re-
victralling the beleaguered towns was
abandoned, the government being sat
isfed that the towns were sufficiently
supplied with foodstuffs to last until
the Inclusion Of peace.
The only condition mentioned in the
official communication to the press is
that the troops will remain in the posi-
tions now occupied. 1t is understood
that no limit has been placed on the
armistice. which may be terminated by
forty-eig. hours notice by either side.
1t Is reported that the Turkish and
Bulgarian delegates will meet again to-
morrow at Baghtche for the purpose of
arranging the preliminaries for the
peace conference.
Speculation is rife as to the real rea-
son for the failure of Greece to be Il
signatory to the armistce. II is gen.
orally felt that the mere rejection of
the special Greek demands did not con-
stitute sufficient reason for Greece's
Independent attitude. These demands
were the capitulation Of Janina and the
surrender Of the Turkish troops in the
islands Of Chios and Mytilene.
It is hoped that the peace negotia-
tions will be concluded in London In
about eight days. Thus, with the con-
clusion OF peace, Turkey will be free To
devote all her energies against Greece.
