THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 19, 1923 COUSIN OF SULTARI IS NAM 1 British Dreadnaught Speeds on Way With Ruler. DESERTED HAREM WEEPS Wives Are Not Tolct of Plans to Leave Palace Suddenly; Ask i Protection From Angora. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18. (By the Associated Press.) Crown Prince Abdul Madjid Effendi, cousin of Sul tan Mohammed VI, has been elected caliph, according to an announce ment from Angora. MALTA, Nov. 18. (By the Associ ated Press.) The British dread nought Malaya, which is conveying the sultan of Turkey to Malta, is expected to arrive Monday. The sultan's aide has been here for some days. It is believed that Moham med VI will occupy the governor's country palace. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18. (By the Associated Press.) The sultan's wives and ladies of the harem are overwhelmed with grief and dismay over the flight of the sultan. They did not know he was going. The sultan's youngest wife, whom he married only a few weeks ago, and who is the 22-year-old daughter of his gar dener, became hysterical when the sultan's flight was confirmed and the seven faithful eunuchs, who had acted as personal bodyguards to the Moslem ruler for the last Ave years, gave themselves up to de spair, fearing the sultan had been kidnaped by the Kemalists. The other eunuchs and the ladies of the palace, numbering 300, wept bitterly and Boon the whole palace was in a state of commotion. Move Held Surrender. The Turkish nationalists consider that Sultan Mohammed VI by his flight has surrendered the caliphate, according to Rafet Pasha, Kemalist governor of Constantinople. "According to the Moslem law," ho told the Associated Press, "when the sultan leaves Turkish soil and enters Christian territory he places himself under Christian protection and thereby loses "the caliphate, ceaBing to retain any authority over the Moslems." Mohammed's departure on the British dreadnought Malaya in the face of threatened trial for treason by the Angora government was compared by Rafet Pasha to the flight of Pamad Ferid Pasha, ex grand vizier, and the other "mem bers of the opposition who by their acts were compromised in the eyes of the whole Turkish nation." "Great Britain's connivance in the escape," he added, "is flagrant in terference in Turkey's internal af fairs." Other Official Watched. Rafet was much agitated. He spent several hours following the escape in frantically telephoning Angora for instructions and taking ; precautions against the flight of the members of the sultan's cabinet and other high personages wanted by the nationalists. The Bultan left his palace by the back door, known as the Malta gate, which heretofore has always been sealed. The British for some time had been aware of hi anxiety and fear for his personal safety and were prepared to remove him when he said the word. They explained, however, that the request for safe conduct must come from him, as they could not be placed in the false position of having kidnaped him. They also pointed out that he must go a reasonable distance from the palace, as it was inexpedient to introduce British guards into the grounds because of the danger of conflict with the Kemalist soldiery there. The sultan agreed to all these conditions. Only three persons in the palace knew of the intended flight, namely, the court chamberlain, the sultan's personal phyefcian and his band master. These were the only palace officials he trusted and he even kept his wives In the dark as to his plans. Guards Surround Palace. The flight was so carefully ar ranged that the nationalist officers and soldiers stationed in the palace grounds did not learn of it until shortly before the Selamlik or prayer ceremony at noon in which the sultan was to have participated. All pedestrian and vehicular traf fic in the neighborhood of the palace was then stopped and the palace was surrounded by nationalist mili tary and gendarmie. Within the palace consternation reigned among the sultan's wives and eunuchs. At the Selamlik a number of Americans awaited in vain for the sultan's ceremonial progress to the mosque. The only indication they had of anything irregular was the presence of additional Kemalist soldiers in the places usually oc cupied by the sultan's Imperial guards. The Kemalists today took meas sures to guard the famous palace containing the precious relics of the caliphate and the priceless gifts to the sultan and his predecessors from world ' monarchs since the time of the prophet.

Executive, In Portland, Tells of Efficiency and Economies Effected I'nder Plan. D. W. Davis, governor of Idaho, says the cabinet form of govern ment, produces efficiency and econ omy, and is a vast improvement over the old system of government. "Since we installed the cabiret form of government," said Governor Davis, at the Multnomah hotel, last night, "there has not been a public building constructed that has not been completed ahead of time and built within the appropriation. Any one familiar with how public build ings usually are erected will appre ciate the efficiency of the cabinet form. We formerly had 40 boards and commissions, 'and these we grouped into nine departments, and later into eight departments, with a man at the head of each. The head of a department is .held personally responsible, and that gets the re sults. "Centralized authority produces efficiency, while decentralized au thority causes inefficiency. There will be better results when a de partment is so managed that you can place your finger on the person lesponsible. There is no opportunity to shift the blame or 'pass the buck.' " ' Accompanying Governor Davis Is W. J. Hall, head of the department cf public works, in which is the highway work. The Idaho officials went to California to attend a con ference of western governors to con sider automobile licenses and gaso line tax. While Governor Davis and Mr. Hall were on the road the date of the conference was changed, so when they arrived in San Francisco they discovered that there was no conference in session. Governor j Davis says that he expects much good to come from the conference when it is held the latter part of next week. Governor Hart of Wash ington issued the call.

Robber Suspect Taken. WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. 18. The sheriff of Okanogan county, Wash ington, was here today to take into custody Nathan Fields, alias Jack Curran, who was arrested at Inter state, Idaho, for complicity in a bank robbery which took place at Okanogan, Wash., last May. Fields, while admitting that he had been i Okanogan, refused to admit that he was in any way connected with the robbery, in which $600 was taken.

Outcast Has pnly Trivial Band of Personal Supporters Left, Says Gardiner. BY A. G. GARDINER, Britain's Greatest Liberal Editor. (Copyright, 11)22, by The Oregonian.) LONDONA Nov. 18. (Special Cable.) My forecast of the election result has been fulfilled. A tidal wave of almost unprecedented mag nitude has swept the conservatives to power and Lloyd George into the abyss. The chief ctuse of this grand slam Is the revolt of the country against the methods of the last four, years. There was a profound ground swell of hostility toward that dictatorship of Lloyd George which subverted parliament by a mixture of corrup tions and levy and which ended by nearly plunging the nation into war, single-handed. Throughout, the liberal party op posed the coalition and its methods but by a strange irony all credit for the overthrow falls to the con servatives who were its main sup port and who only destroyed Lloyd George when he had ceased to serve their ends. Ex-Premier Left Outcast. The result of the election leaves Lloyd George an outcast with a. trivial band of personal supporters. He has smashed the liberal party, has been rejected by the tory party and his future must be that of a free lance. No such sudden catastrophic fall was ever recorded in the history of British politics. For six years dic tator of England, almost dictator of Europe, now he is discredited and broken, without a following, repu diated alike by tories, liberals and labor. The single monument of his work is the wreckage of the liberal-party and the overwhelming rehabilitation of the conservatives. The present feeling is that the election has sounded the death knell of the hopes for the revival of the liberal organ ization and it is doubtful whether it ever will be constructed as a first class fighting instrument. It has been crushed between the upper and nether millstones of conservatism and labor. Asquith passes into final eclipse along with the lieutenant who engineered his fall six years ago. In him passes a great Eng lishman, wise, disinterested but lacking In initiative to meet great situations. Labor Growth Significant. Most significant is the growth of the labor party. It now takes the place of the liberals as the most powerful opposition to conservative control. Its aim was to crush the liberals and this was nearly achieved last Wednesday. Not only are its numbers more than doubled but its personnel is enormously enhanced, so that it will be intellectually the most formidable element of the new parliament. " The election disclosed the deplor able Inefficiency of our present vot ing system. The vast majority of the conservatives are returned by a minority vbte, the majority being split between the' labor and liberal candidates. The chief victims of the system were the liberals, whose total vote In the country should en title them to more than double their actual representation. It also generally Is agreed that the women's vote was a dominannt factor. Last election, when the women voted for the first time they were almost a unit for Lloyd George. This time they supported fhe con servative ticket. It seems clear the influence will be exerted mainly on the side of reaction. Only Two Women Successful. Yet the fact -is remarkable that only two women were successful, Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Wintringham returning to their seats. The ex perience of this election indicates that a woman will not vote for a woman. What will Bonar Law do with his majority? He has promised tran quillity but I venture to say the voyage will be stormy. The passage is strewn with the rocks of unem ployment, bad trade relations with France, Europe in extremis, taxa tion crushing, reparations a ques tion unsettled. The overshadowing question is France. England is being ruined by the present continental policy. Will England now plainly face the Issue with her ally and put to her the alternative that either France will agree to let Germany have a chance at recovery or England must adopt other means of restoring Europe to peace and prosperity? A strong ap peal to France is urgently needed. The moment is favorable in view of Loucheur's advocacy of a more rea sonable policy. Law's handling of this great issue will be the solid test of his statesmanship.
