TURKS FINANCES

Not a Penny Left In the
Treasury

London, Feb. 6,-The Daily Tele-
graph published a long uncensored
dispatch from its correspondent, Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett, at Constantinopie,
in which he says the Turkish people
are In such a state of misery af re-
suit of the war, they are completely
Indifferent as to the fate of Adria-
nople. 1.-The cabinet is in quandary,'
says the correspondent, sit knows it
will be compelled to. cede AdrianoplA
and is only seeking some means %
save its face.
tt is said that the coup de-etat was
only intended to occur after Kiamil
Pasha surrendered Adrianople, but was
precipitated by some mistake. Hence
the difficulty the ministry is now in.
There is not a cent in the treasury
and there are no means of getting
money until peace is concluded, and
meanwhile the country is drifting to
ruin and bankruptcy. "a great anti
war demonstration occurred Sunday
in front of the war Office at which
the Young Turks were publicly de-
nounced as murderers and thieves.
THE misery in the Turkish camps
is indescribable. 1t has been bitter
ly cold, with heavy snow; the sold
iers are i'll fed, and badly sheltered
Smallpox, dysentery and pneumonia
have replaced Asiatic cholera.
I'm the present state of the Turkish
organization, the army would starve
the moment it attempted to leave the
coast From military and economic
standpoint, Turkeys position is hope
less. Nothing can prevent even worse
misfortunes, except immediate ac-
ceptance of the inevitable"

VICE GRATING

BY PROSECUTOR
TRIAL OF VICE GRAFT ON.
Police Confess and ImpIiCate
SupGFiOFS

New York, Feb. 6.-The trial of
police graft upon which District At
torney Whitman set out last summer
is declared by him today to have
emerged from the thicket of minor
exposures to an open road leading
to men higher up. Through the re-
markable confession which Police Cap
tain Thomas W. Walsh made to the
district attorney last night, which
will be repeated to the grand jury.
indictments will be sought against a
police inspector and others as allegej
graft takers on large scale.
If obtained, these indictments will
be the most important develop
metns in the exposure of the "sys-
TEN" since the city was aroused 70
the alliance of it's police with gamb-
ling and vice by the murder of a
"squealing" gambler at the instigation
of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
last July
Walshs confession was made on his
sick bed 1t was forced in part by
charges made by Policeman Eugene
Fox, who pleaded guilty to graft col
lection last Monday and turned upon
Walsh as the man next above him.
Fearing that a heart weakness with
which he has long been troubled
night foreshadow his death, and wish
ing to purge his conscience, Captain
Walsh admitted to taking vice graft
t. the extent of perhaps $4,000 in
a single police precinct.
Half this amount he turned over to
those higher up.
The district attorney today described
the confession as the most impor-
tant he had ever heard as prosecuting
attorney. He was with Walsh for
only three-quarters of an hour, but
left with the understanding that
Walsh would see him again and would
place in his own writing the full con-
fession. Although Walsh regards
himself as seriously i'll, he expects 10
appear before the grand jury next
Monday.
