SULTAN FLEES

Turks Try to Sneak Destroyer
0ut-SociaIist President
Murdered.

londor-Reports have reached
London Of a conflict at Kara
catch. A party Of French officers
with the French consul 10 said TO
have been lnsulted by the Turks,
causing a collision In which both
sides suffered some casualties In
injured.
Observation-Disclosures WI, the
Turkish sultan, has fed from Con-
stantinople on a British warship bound
for Malta.
Upon embarking the sultan empha-
sized that he was not %abdicating.
The sultan wrote to the British com
mander-in-chlef, stating he considered
his life to be in danger and would like
British protection.
An attempt by the Kemalists to run
the informed Turkish destroyer, Akbis-
sar, disguised as a merchantmen, out
Of the Golden Horn. was frustrated.
With Nationalist military elements
coming into Constantinople and know
ing the Angora authorities would
eventually control the Turkish capital,
the Sultan and his advisers have been
puzzled as to what course TO pursue.
Most OF his guard went yer to the
N~ationalists, and Constantinople dis
patches have pictured him virtually at
the mercy Of the Kemalists.
Political motives may be read by
some into the flight of the Sultan on
a British warship. Great Britain con
cededly has strong motives for seeing
nc harm come to him, because of the
millions of Mussulman, within her do

with the Turkish Natanalists.

ACTRESS MAY HALT SUIT
AGAINST WHITNEY SCION
Declares She Will Make Own Way in Movies
For Baby and Herself

NEW YORK, July 24k-Good news
for Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney and their eldest son, Cornelius
Vanderbilt Whitney, came today
from Los Angeles in a telegram sent
by Evan Burrows Fontaine. the
beautiful dancer, who claims heI
child is the child of Sonny" Whit
ney.
Il have some splendid offers from
the films" her message runs, "and
l may be rich some day. After all
had rather bring up the baby on
money 1 earn myself than on money
that Is given to me-"
If Evans opportunity to become
one Of the high salaried film stars
materializes, it Is probable, according
to her friends, that she will call a
halt to plans to go to court with
two suits for substantial money
awards against young Whitney.
In that event the Whitney mil
lions will remain intact to be hand
ed down to Sonny"
The one element which has mill
tated and still initiates against a
quiet squelchdng of Evan and her
claims under a weight of opposition
millions is Attorney Charles Fire
stone, who returned to New York
today from Pittsburgh and proceed
ed Immediately to repair the dam
age wrought, to Evans legal advan-
tages by the withdrawal from the
case on the previous day of former
State Senator Edgar Truman Brack-
EFT, of Saratoga.
What Attorney Firestone believes
was a cleverly contrived plot to alb
duct the baby was thwarted several
months ago. it became known today.
A woman who posed as a newspaper
reporter on the staff of New York
daily had contrived to gain the con-
hdence of Mrs. Fontaine and asked
one day to be allowed to take the
baby for its daily airing on the
lawn.
Mrs. Fontaine had consented when
came up and met the two
women in the hallway. He promptly
