His musical taste was inherited from
both parents. as his father had a
fine baritone voice and his mother
was n talented planolst. though
neither were professional musicians.
Ills mother was from the Gahril-
ovitch family. which Ossip Gabril.
ovitch has made famous musically.
Although Mirovltch desired to de-
vote his time TO the study OF music,
his father decreed otherwise. and he
attended school and college until is.
aud then, at his fathers wishes he
studied law. But his ambition was
not stllled, and secretely he went to
Madame Annette Esslpoff. lie In
duced her to hear him play. after
which she Immediately accepted him
in her class OF artist pupils. During
the six years which ne studied with
her. he was known as her star pupil,
and played at concerts throughout
Russia. During his second year, he
discontinued his studies and went on
tour with Wiershbllovitch, distin-
guished Russian cellist.

ers to come here. He has already

ALLEGES CHARGE
IS PERSECUTION
imperial kIeaoIe. Indicted for "using
Mails TO Defraud," Declares
Action is Due to His Con-
nection With Khan.

Atlanta. Ga, Oct. Edward Y.
Clarke. imperial kleagIe of the
knights of Ku Slux .slan, today
charged that tho Indictment re-
turned against him yesterday by the
federal grand jury was further evil
dence "of persecution because of my
connection with the khan"
The indictment charged Clarke
with 'using the mails 10 effect a
scheme to defraud."
According to the allegations in n
memorandum accompanying the in
dictment, Clarke used he mails TO
collect money on the following plan:
High officers in the khan were
bonded and they paid the premiums
on their personal bonds. II is al
legged that the amounts collected
were far in excess of the actual
costs of the bonds and that this ex-
cess was converted to Clarke's per-
sonal use.
A statement issued by the i'm
perial kloncilium of the khan said
that Clarke was not arrested and
taken to the federal building as
was reported and that charges
against him were made by former
employees who have filed one suit
after another against the organiza-
tlon and members ever since they
were removed from the pay roll of
the khan.
The kloncilium stated that the
charges were without foundation
and that Clarke will have no trouble
in establishing this fact.
Clarke in a statement said.
THE grand jury of course, heard
only one side of the case, and if
they had been in possession of the
real facts no Indictment would have
been returned"

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Constantinople, Oct. 6.-The Gre
nader guards, crack British regi-
ment, tramped into Constantinople
today following the break down of
the Mudania peace conference, and
the approach of Kemalist cavalry
towards this former Turkish capitol.
The British force, brought here by
the Empress of India, swung
through the streets, band playing,
colors unfurled and Constantinople
European population went wild with
Joy. Christians see in the troops a
bulwark against an Ottoman threat
to take Constantinople by force and
march through to Thrace If the
allies do not Immediately cede this
territory to Mustapha Kemal.
Meanwhile, the secret conference
at Mudania has ended in temporary
failure. The exact causes are not
known because of the ban against
correspondents. 1t is reported that
Turkish greed, once the allies show
ed signs Of giving way regarding
Thrace, caused an abrupt ending of
the parley. Another report is that
the Greek representative, General
Mazaraki's refusal to acquiesce in
the slightest degree to Greece with
drawing from Thrace. The Turks
are understood to have demanded
that the handing over to Thrace
and Constantinople take place i'm
mediately, while it was the idea of
the allies that this should not be
done until after the next peace con-
ference.
AS a result of this impasse, Mus
tapha Kemal has come personally
to take part in the dispute and will
meet with General Harrington, Brit
ish representative at Broussa to-
morrow.
The Mudania conference, it was
said today, might be resumed this
evening but this was unlikely in
view of the fact that Harrington and
Kemal plan to meet. Broussa is
near Mudania, just outside the neu-
trail zone.
The Turks continue to withdraw
from the Chanak area but massing
cavalry in what is feared to be a
threat against Constantinople. They
are at Ismid on the edge of the
neutral zone.
