raised a lively opposition, voiced by
Enver PaCha. To leave the way to
the throne to Yussof might result in
giving the committee a master, he
argued. The second heir, Prince
Valid Eddin, he observed, nourish-
ed no better sentiments toward the
committee, but it was impossible to
suppress everyone in the palace and
the death of Yssof Izzedin must GER
tainly prove a salutatory lesson.
THE deliberators separated with

again at~the same place a few days
later when four determined voices
called for the death of Prince Yussof;
they prevailed over all resistance, but

PRINCE WAS KILLED;
WAS NOT A SUICIDE

Neutrality-suspicious. of The AS
ISOLATED Press THE question wheth-
er the death of the Turkish Crown
Prince YussOf Izzedin was suicide or
assassination is no longer open to
doubt, according to an authority here
of Ottoman affairs, who says:
1.-THE prince was assassinated on
the first of February in his palace OF
zindjirli-Coyou by his ordnance Of
ficer, Hassan Bey."
Long before the war;" this author
it vayers, when Enver Bey succeed
ed in having a crown council instl-
tinted for him. Prince Yussof was con-
demned to die. Since the war began
he had been more than ever ellmlnat-
ed from all influence.
when the sultan fell i'll during the
summer of 1915, the eventuality OF the
accession of the prince preoccupled
the committee of union and progress.
His hostility to the war had been un-
concealed; his accession to the throne
meant the opposition of the monarch
to the projects of the government and
menaced its existence.
"One evening in September the
principal leaders of the committee OF
union and progress were secretly as
sembled in the house of the Sheikh III
Islam, Hairi Effendi Enver Bey,
Talaat Pacha, Bedri Bey, the perfect
of police, Hussein Djahid, vice presi-
dent of the chamber, and Behaeddine
Chakir, private physician Of the prince
were present. Hussein Diahid called
attention TO the difficulty of Turkey
situation at the time, deprived OF all
means of renewing its supplies OF am
muntion and consequently anxious as
to the developments OF the Dardan-
Giles campaign In those circum-
stances he pointed out the presence
on the throne of prince known TO

determined later according to the turn
of events Thereupon came the Bull
garian accord with Turkey and inter
vention at the side of the allied en-
pires, followed by the evacuation of
the Gallipoli peninsula by the entente
allies. The time was considered prop
titious and on the first of February
the prince was assassinated in his
palace of Zindjirli-Coyou by his ord
nance officer, -Hassan Bey.
1T was officially announced that the
cause of the princes death, suicide by
the opening of important veins in his
left arm, would be certified by Turk
ish and foreign doctors.
When the certificate appeared
there were no names of foreign doe
tors signed and those of Turkish ma
tiOnality were all affiliated with the
government, with Enver Bey or with
the committee of union and progress.

prince Valid Eddin, the new he'll

what is current information in Con
