EMPTY PALACES - BOTHER TURKEY Some Rent for $10 a Month, ! . With Few Takers, as Use for Them Is Sought. BY PRISCILLA RING, (Associated Press Correspondent.) ISTANBUL, June 30.—Wanted by the | “Turkish Republic suggestions on how | to make republican use of five 1mp!flali palaces. | ‘When Mustapha Kemal began his creation of a new Turkey he solved the problem of the Sultans by the simple process of exiling the last shadowy oc- cupant of the Ottoman throne. But after eight years he has not solved the roblem of what to do with the Sultans’ wellings. Minor Summer palaces of princes, icesses and pashas are being rented the Turkish equivalents of Tom, Dick and Harry, for $10 a month, with few takers even at that price, or are being | utilized as tobacco factories or orphan- | ages. But over five of the six sultanic laces in Istanbul, question marks over, ] Only One’s Fate Fixed. Only one of the six has found & defi- nite new destiny. The oldest and most famous, the Seraglio built by Sultan Mo- hammed, conqueror of Constantinople, | in 1462, has been transferred into a museum. The residence of the last caliph, the enormous, rococo pile of Dolma-Bagtche {Stuffed Garden), so huge that its mar- ble quay stretches for 1,800 feet along the Bosporus, has been put into spo- radic use as a Summer residence for | Mustapha Kemal. But now that the | has bullt himself a Summer cap- | ital at Yalova, he is not likely to use the place again as a dwelling. Istanbul's dance addicts—and they number thousands—have suggested that Dolma-Bagtche would make an ideal dance hall. They argue that there is no other building in town big enough Hotel Saturday night.

The ,:vemmem has given no answer to this nce hall project. One Was a Casino. Yildiz Palace, towering in a superb park above the Bosporus and favorite Tesidence of Sultan Abdul Hamid the Red, blossomed briefly under republican skies as a gambling casino during the government’s abortive attempt to con- vert the Bosporus into another Riviera with this Monte Carlo as a starter. The alarming rate of which Turkish citizens rather than the hoped-for tourists lost at the roulette tables made the govern- ment speedily regret its venture. ‘The Italian manager went bankrupt, and the shutters of Yildiz are closed | again while the government debates the wfluty of turning it into a college girls, the first Turkish rival to the e;nerlun College for Women further up e 3 Turkey'’s newly inaugurated “tourist policy” includes the scheme of turning other palaces into hotels, but the falling off in the number of visitors this year has temporarily shadowed this project. If the tourist trade and Turkey's finances in general pick up, hotels may still be made of the beautiful marble R!::e of Beylerbey where Empress nie once lodged as magnificent guest of the Ottoman Empire and where gruesome Abdul Hamid died; of the rhce of Tcheregan, reduced to a mar- le_skeleton by the fire of 1910, but a skeleton whose every bone speaks of lendor; and of the smaller charming palace ‘Water) which stands at the mouth of the Sweet Waters of Asia. s S L ENVOY OPERATED ON Nelson Johnson’s Condition “Satis- factory,” Says Shanghai Report.
