Heirs to Fortune
Starue to Death

New Orleans. October 6.-While ex-
ecutors of the estate of Ike Herdman,
who died here five years ago, leaving
property valued at 100000 were try
ing to reach his relatives in Russia,
three of those relatives starved to
death. This was the word that came
today to Felix J. Dreyfouss, notary
and executive for the estate here
through the American Relief COM
mission in Russia. A son, Mordke
Herdman. and two grandchildren sur
vive in Odessa, Russia, in the direst
poverty.
Their sufferings were enhanced
according to the report received by
Mr.. Dreyfous, by the fact that, cold
hungry and destitute, they received
more than once, through the erratic
Russians mails, notifications of re-
mittances and packages of food that
had been shipped them by the execu-
tor. They never got the money OF
the food. They are still destitute
but still hoping, according to the re-
port.
Herdman came here 80 year:
ago and started life as an itinerant
glazier. Through real estate invest
ments he grew rich. On his death
bed, he told Dreyfous, one of his few
ccnfidants, that when he left
Russia he had abandoned a wife and
several children He made a will
leaving his property to his descend
ants.

SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME
OF CONFERENCE HOPED
NV Associated Preaa

Constantinople, October 6.-Al-
though no definite news has been re-
ceived from Mudania. where the al
lied representatives have gone again
to renew their conference with the
ENJOYS OF the Turkish nationalist
government at midnight tonight
there was a distinct current of OPP
timism among allied diplomats here
regarding a possible successful out
come OF the negotiations.
This feeling prevailed notwith-
standing the Kemalists today issued
an ultimatum to the allies demanding
their consent to Turkish occupation
OF Thrace, and the previous rejection
b. the Kemalists of the proposal for
the sending of allied troops and the
establishment of an allied control
commission in the province. The I'LL
timatum regarding the evacuation Of
Thrace, at first demanded a reply by
2:30 O'Clock in the afternoon. Later
the time was extended to $3.50 and
still later to 8 O'Clock. Meantime the
allied generals had sailed for Muda
mia.
Compromise Sought
Dispatches from London and Paris
seemed to indicate that the French
and British governments still were
seeking ground for an agreement on
which they could again face the
Turkish delegates with united
front. The feeling among the British
here was summarized by staff Of
ficer as follows: I'VE showed will
lingness to go to any honorable
length to avoid a rupture. II our
pacific advances are not acceptable
or are not reciprocaled we are ready
for eventualities."
French opinion here was inclined
to criticise M. Franklin Bouillon for
injecting new questions into the con-
ference at Mudania on the ground
that the conference was no place for
a civilian and a politician.
Most of the Italians here expressed
regret over orders received from
Rome directing General Mombelli,
italian representative at Mudania, to
support Turkish claims.

Stocks go up and stocks go down,
peace succeeds war, but women are
the same. Poor Mrs. Mills. leader of
the choir, was found murdered beside
the body of the Reverend Mr.. Hall,
her clergyman. Among his letters is
one from the murdered Mrs. Mills,
saying: "Oh for the time when l can
do your mending." Her days of
mending, and his, are over, and no.
body knows who killed them both.
Occasionally mans foolishness
causes him to be murdered. but men
as a whole cannot be too grateful
for woman's strange, persistent inn
pulse to do somebody's mending.
They have done it for a hundred
thousand years and are not tired of
it yet.
