the old gentleman questioned and the

attitude seemed, to the listening Ad-
Visor, to be reversed. Livius, In the
far corner of the room, was speaking
in low tone. To judge from the other
mans impatient manner, the Roman

queries with interrogations OF his own.
Average Jones made mental note,

evening, asked him to ascertain from
Colonel Graeme whether Livius' in

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 12. - (Correspondence of the Associate Prcss.D - Etiquette Of the Turkish Imperial court and the aversion ol the Ottoman to speak oi his household and the female members thereof has SO far prevented the detoils Of thn suicide of the late Turkish heir ap- parent Yussof Izzodin Effendi, from becoming generally known. The Aso- sociateI Press correspondent hos just learned them from a dignitary of the |priuce's establishment
 Prince Yussof Izzcdin had for sey- cral years been suffering from an ill. icurable nervous afniction, a malady which caused him to visit annually the baths of Europe, including those of Baden, a suburb of Vienna, where the mineral waters are said to have remedial effects in such cases. As the prince grew older the afflictjon advanced and when the European war broke out he was generally considered a very sick man. Despite this he eyinced the keenest interest in mill tary affairs and undertook several
 ours of inspection to the Gallipoli terrain at the request of the Sultan, his uncle. On one of these trips the associated Press correspondent met him at the headquarters of Liman von Sanders Pacha. It was plain that the prince was under some strain. . His conversation was disjointed, al though his remarks were in them selves entirely rational.
 On the evening on which he died, Prince Yussof Izzedin had retired at his usual hour, going to the apart meut of one of his wives. Here he lay down on d digan. X few minutes later the woman heard him utter a slight groan, and. looking at the man. saw he was bleeding. Upon inquiry, the prince replied that the bleeding was due to a slight accident and then Iasked the woman to get him a fresh shirt When she returned with this she found that the prince had locked Ithe door behind her. She then rushed to find one of the attendants. The two returned to the door, but the at Itendant confined his efforts to asking l the prince whether he could enter the room. No answer came, however.
 The woman and the attendant then called upon the marshal of the house hold who promptly decided to force the door. This proved difficult, as the door was stout and had been we'll barred from within. In the end it had to be broken down piecemeal.
 Meanwhile the palace physician had been reused and his examination dis closed that the arteries in the elbow pit had been severed with a small sharp knife. This weapon was found between the upholstery of the divan and the wall.
