Tchatalja in front of Constantinople
is becoming worse. More than 500
cases are reported daily. The total
number already exceeds 5000.
Whatever hopes the Turks may
have had of maintaining the line of
defense at Tchatalja has been dissi-
lated by this outbreak of cholera. An
eyewitness declares he saw 1858 dead
buried in one shallow trench at Haden-
!, keniui, the headquarters of the Turk
ish commander in chief on Tuesday.
The bodies were dragged to the
trenches on hoogs.
While cholera is undermining the
Turkish defense it also constitutes &
most formidable opponent to the Bul-
garian advance and it is generally
believed here the outbreak has dis
posed of the question of even tempo
rary occupation Of Constantinople by
the Bulgarian troops, as it is thought
unlikely that King Ferdinand of Bui
garia will risk the lives of his soldiers
in this way is he can avoid it.

DENvER'S HARD LUCK.

Competent judges hold that news
papers of Denver, by their attacks up
on each other and industries of that
city, have cost Denver at least $780,
100000, and when one stops to con-
slider the estimate is none too small
From the list of defamers the Repub-
lican should be omitted, although at
one time that paper got mixed up in
the scrap, but largely through de-
Tending the interests attacked, almost
necessarily becoming involved the
same, as in the past, The Herald be-
came mixed in newspaper controversy.
As stated in The Herald day or two
previous to election, Colorado has
been retarded in her growth, but more
especially Denver, largely through
her newspapers and freak legislation.
To read Denver papers, or certain
ones, eastern people and monied men
cannot help but feel that Denver is
in control of lot of thieves and cor
ruptionists, that every public enter
prise is open to attack if it does not
come through with the coin, hence
capital has held aloof. This same
capital has sought investment in the
west, but steared clear of Colorado.
Ex-Mayor Scott Lee came very near
the truth in his page letter during the
summer months. The letter appeared
to have very good effect for the
time being, but the mud singing is on
again. To read the News and Post,
eastern people cannot help but believe
that each of the sheets mentioned are
in the wholesale blackmail business
and genuine character assassins. If
the Post-News fight continues, mark
our words, the Denver proposition of
financing the Moffat tunnel will fail
and give the city another black eye.
In order to get even on the Post for
showing Secretary of State Pearce up
in his true colors, the News is turning
its mud batteries on the Post and its
proprietors, when Tom Patterson de-
clared in private that Pearce was
about all that the Post claims. 1t
just seems to be personal fight be
tween the papers for business and
notoriety and Denver and the state
must suffer.
The same conditions existed in Du-
range for long time. The Herald in
trying to defend the vested interests
of the city and county, was villainous-

ASTOR INHERITS FORTUNE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-William
Vincent Astor, head of the American
branch of the Astor family since the
death of his father, John Jacob As
tor, who went to his death on the
steamer Titanic on the morning of
April Is, 1912, reaches his majority
today ana by virtue of this fact came
into full control of the Astor fortune
which is conservatively estimated &.
S65,0O0,00. When the estate was ap-
praised by experts shortly after the
death of Col. John Jacob Astor, tc
determine the amount of inheritance
tax to he paid, the aggregate value
of the estate was placed at between
100000 and $80,000,00O. As these
figures are official and probably as
nearly correct as possible under the
circumstances, the amount of the for
tune into the possession of which
young William Vincent Tstor came to-
day, may be easily estimated.
Under the terms of Col. Astor's will
William Vincent Astor was made resi-
duary legatee. The shares of all Other
! heirs were fixed in plain terms by the
will itself Mrs. Madelaine Talmaee
Force Astor, the widow, received fcr
life, or until remarriage the income
from $5,000,O00 and the use of tie
Fifth avenue home of her late nus,
band, as well as S150,000 outright
| Muriel Astor, a daughter, by Colonel
Astor's first marriage, received trust
fund of S5,000,000. A similar trust
fund of S3,0O0,0O0 was provided for
John Jacob Astor ILL.,, the posthumous
child of Colonel Astor. Other be-
quests aggregated nearly 100000
| Deducting these trusts and bequests
from the estimated total value of the
estate would place William Vincent
Astor's share at about $65 100000
No Astor has ever come into the
family fortune at so young an age as
| William Vincent Astor. His father
was 2S before he succeeded, and his
grandfather was so. His great-grand
father, John Jacob Ill, was SO, anc

fore his grandfather died and his
father became head of the house. He
was so frail baby that only unre
mitting care kept him alive. He livec
the loneliest childhood because of this
and, when other children romped il
the open air, he sat over toy piano
in nursery to which no playmates
ever came. Servants saved him every
exertion, nurses were always with
him; physicians awaited calls to hin
that had precedence over all others
Six years of this unceasing atten.
tion brought Vincent Astor to degre,
of health it had been thought he never
could attain. Newport was astonishec
to see him come there five years age
and take an active part in the sports
of the summer colony. It was still
more astonished at his great interest
in automobiling. He drove his owr
car with daring skill, although he
was then only 16 years of age. His

GIRL FOUND DEAD in BATH TUB.

BOSTON, Nov. 15.-Miss Marjorie
Powers, pretty stenographer, 2E
years Of age, was found dead in bath
tub in the West End hotel yesterday
Her body was discovered lying face
down in partly filed bath tub. Life
had been extinct, apparently, few
hours.
The girl went to the Hotel We'd
nesday afternoon with man who
signed in the register the names OF
"Mr. and Mrs. Davis" The man left
later.
When repeated telephone calls fail
ed to be answered from the room, the
door was forced open and the body
found.
Soon after the police were notified
they visited Faneuil Hall market
where Miss Powers was employed as
a stenographer, and took into custody
on suspicion, her employer, Arthur T
Cummins. He is detained at police
headquarters, though not under ar
rest. Cummins is head of a produce
concern bearing his name and lives in
Winthrop. He is 53 years old and
married.
Today the stomach of the dead girl
is being examined for poison.

target for personal abuse. In the per-
sonal attacks this paper and its pub
fishers were greatly benefited finan-
cially and in the esteem, not only of
the people of Durango but the San
Juan basin and state. Durango is
not the city it should be and this
can largely be accounted for by the
newspaper attacks upon various inter
ests and individuals and firms. Trade
has been diverted by attacks on mer-
chants, people and homeseekers kept
out of the district by the same
method. Is it any wonder, therefore,
| that the people rise up and asked to
be delivered from their alleged friends
and supposed upbuilders.

doors as much as possible, encouraged
his fondness for automobiling and
yachting, but although Vincent Astor
continued to retain a certain amount
of interest in the sailing sport, he
devoted the greater share of his in
terest to automobiling.
As boy of IL or 13 William Vim
cent Astor passed through severe sick
nesses and had to undergo several
surgical operations. Every year he
was taken to St. Moritz or the Riviera
on account of bronchial trouble. The
constant care required by his delicate
health retarded his education to some
extent. He was sent to Eton, but soon
returned because the English boys at
that famous school made life bur
den to the rich young American. He

of his father and the change in con-
ditions caused thereby.
During his college days William
Vincent Astor made an attempt to
90 in for athletics and was assigned
a place in the freshmen crew, but
soon withdrew and confined himself to
life of luxury and daring automo-
billing. He became noted for his
speeding and repeatedly came in con-
flict with the speed laws.
1t is not surprising that William
Vincent Astor is considered the great
est catch by the mothers of marriage
able daughters. There have been n
number of rumors of engagements of
the young man to various society girls
and others, but so far there seems to
be no evidence that the young man
has formed any attachment likely to
lead to his marriage in the near fu-
ture.

TO OLD MURDER
Killing At Castle Rock, Colorado, SO

Colorado Springs, Dec. 6-Whether
justice will be defeated by death in
the case OF John Peter Davis, aged
20 years, Of Peoria, Or, who, believ-
ing that he is on his death bed has
confessed to the murder of William

within the next few days.
District Attorney. NJ. w. Purcell of

that he has taken cognizance of the
