CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 25.
Gone are the good old days when
being sultan o Turkey meant having-
willowy dancing girls draped all
over the place while the sultan's
wives vied with each other in try
ing to capture the caliph's caresses.
Caliph Abdul Medjid Effendi's entire
family consists of himself, one wife
and a eon and daughter, and with
just one wife the caliph is bringing
peace to the palace for the first
time in centuries.
The new ruler has been married
20 years. He expects to clean up all
intrigue in the palace. While the
cause of his monogamy possibly is
due to morality and true love, it may
have been Inspired by the fact that
his father, a sultan, and his brother,
ex-crown prince, both committed su
icide by cutting the veins of their
wrists on account of being a bone
of contention in their harems.
In the old days of Abdul Hamid
200 women were allowed the palace
staff as dancer-sv singers, ladies in
waiting, servants and cooks, but the
present fugitive, Mohammed VI, was
allowed only 100 and maintained 87.
The newcomer is expected to reduce
the feminine contingent still fur
ther. About 25 per cent of the pal
ace girls were Circassians, noted
for their beauty.
CiirlH Given as Gifts.
If a prominent Turk had a daugh
ter and was ambitious to curry fa
vor with the sultan, he would offer
the girl to the ruler for service in
the palace. If the sultan was will
ing to accept the gift he told the
candidate to send his daughter with
her mother to the sultana, who in
spected and examined her and if she
passed was immediately put into the
palaqe school. Her talents were
carefully weighed and what she was
most proficient at was developed.
The sultan chose these girls when
they , were between the ages of 12
and 15. never older. He acted as
paymaster each month for the pal
ace women, drawing the money from
the palace treasurer, who obtained
the money from the government.
When Mohammed VI slipped
aboard a British warship last week
he drew all the women's allowances
for October and November and left
without paying them, leaving them
stranded. He also helped himself
to their jewels and a large portion
of the palace gold plate.
Eunuchs to Remain.
One feature of the old regime that
It is expected will be retained is the
collection of 40 palace eunuchs.
These strange, soft-voiced, beardless
creatures play a curious part in
palace life. All come from Arab
tribes In Hedjaz. When they are in
fants they are chosen by their par
ents for the eunuchs' profession.
They are medically treated between
the ages of 5 and 10, retaining all
their body organs, but some portions
are rendered ineffective.
They are the friends, guides and
advisers of the sultan and they form
a sort of missing link between the
harem and the 'outside world, for
they are the only exceptions to the
sultan who ig allowed to enter the
sacred precincts. How much the
new sultana will accept the arrange
ment is not known, but she will
probably modify it extremely, as she
inaugurated an unprecednted inno
vation when sho occupied a box at a
public theatrical performance here,
remaining unveiled for the whole
enow.
How many of the ex-sultan'a
wives she will retain as ladies also
has not been decided, but probably
they will all retire in private life on
state pensions.
Colonel Kelly retorted, "but I am
not in the insurance business. I
am just tho angel."
Other Witnesses Heard.
"Has not your angelic status in
fluenced your attitude somewhat
against joint and common user?"
Attorney Spencer asked, and thon
quickly dismissed the witness with
"That's all."
Other Oregon witnesses to take
the stand on the same side of the
case were:
E. A. Welch, president Med ford
Grocer company, representing Med-
ford chamber of commerce; O. S. J
Bianchard, Grants Pass, president
chamber of commerce; W. W. Calk

tion of territories, including the
Mesopotamia oil fields.
Conference In Adjourned.
The conference adjourned its morn
ing session after the completion of
Ambassador Child's statement and
will resume the discussion of bound
aries this afternoon.
Mr. child spoke as follows:
"It is not and will not be the con
cern of the representatives of the
United States to express at this con
ference views which have not for
their bases the legitimate national
interests of the United States, or
those of humanitarian consideration
which I assume are shared by every
delegation present. .
"We will, however, and I trust
acceptably, state when the occasion
arises, the position of the United
States. We belove that a convenient
and appropriate occasion now has
arisen.
"It is not unknown to those who
have observed the history of con
ferences and negotiations that few
subjects' may be considered by them
selves. I note, referring to the
specific subject under discussion,
inat au Hi various points of nego
tiation must be considered as a
unit, and it often true that not one
detail of negotiation can be con
sidered as isolated from the others.
V. S. Position Stated.
"The representatives of the United
States are unable, therefore, to hear
concluded the discussion of any ter
ritorial setlement which in its turn
may affect other settlements with
out drawing the attention of the
conference to certain traditional
principles of the foreign policy of
America."

out the story of beatings, telling
how he hit her across th face with
a heavy purse last Saturday until
it broke, when he picked up a
choir to use on her, but desisted
when the child screamed.
Marriage Angers Judge.
Judge Montgomery, who granted
the divorce, is aroused by Tiernan's
hasty second marriage, and an
nounces he will go to the bottom
of the entire matter. He indicated
that, if collusion is shown, the di
vorce will be annulled, in which case
Tiernan stands as a bigamist, ' in
addition to facing prosecution for
tricking the court into granting the
divorce.
Mrs. Tiernan, the deserted one,
said Tiernan left her without a
nickel to buy food for herself and
the three children. In her anger
today she declared she would kill
Tiernan if he returned and at
tempted to take her daughters from
her.

TURK REQUEST PUT ASIDE
Xeutral Zone on Western Fron
tier to Come Up Later .
LAUSANNE. Nov. 25. (Bv the
Associated Press.) The request of
the Turkish delegates to the near
east conference for a neutral zone
on Turkey's boundary has been
held up, apparently because no na
tion wants to guarantee peace in
any Balkan zone.
Ismet Pasha's statement that
Turkey desired the powers to guar
antee the neutrality of a belt SO
kilometers wide on each side of the
Turco-Bulgarian and Turco-Grecian
frontiers along the Maritza river,
brought no definite decision by the
powers. It was evidently agreed
that the neutrality question could
be disposed of later.
Foreign Perils Add to Complica
tions of Situation,. Is Gar
diner's Declaration .
BY A-G. GARDINER.
Britain's Greatest Libera! Editor.
(Copyright, by The Oregonlan.)
(The Bonar Law ' ministry faces the
ominous shadow of unemployment and
trade dspression which threatens the
entire nation and which hardly can be
restored on the continent. Everything
depends on England's acquiring -au ac
cord with France whereby Germany can
be saved and the -empire's export trade
restored.)
LONDON, Nov. 25 (S p e e i a 1
Cable.) The Bonar Law ministry
came into office under an ominous
shadow. Unemployment is rampant,
trade depression continues. Relief
is imperative, but how it is to be
afforded is not yet plain.
Foreign dangers add to the com
plications of the situation.
There was, of course, plenty of
popular enthusiasm accompanying
the king's opening' of parliament
Thursday. But it was detracted
from by the unemployed demonstra
tion of the previous day. Bonar
Law refused to receive the repre
sentatives of the idle workers. His
action was dictated by his deter
mination to restore the parliamen
tary form and departmental au
thority. . Situation Is Realised.
In his behalf it was stated that
he is alive to the situation result
ing from 20 per cent of the workers
being compelled to live on govern
ment doles. It is feared, however
that unless tranquility can be re
stored to Europe British industry
cannot revive and the country no
longer can maintain Its vast popula
tion, most of whom in the past ex
isted on the export trade.
Realizing the necessity of restor
ing order, the new government has
turned to Its foreign policy. In this
vital field the disappearance of
Lloyd George has improved the at
mosphere. French distrust of the
late, premier has gone so far as to
make friendly relations impossible.
The change in government makes
for hopefulness. It remains to oe
seen whether France can be induced
to change her policy in time to
save Germany from the financial
crash which most financiers consid
er inevitable.
' The only hope would seem to be
revision of the reparations and ex
tension of the moratorium, granting
a loan and assisting in stabilization
of the mark with allied supervision
over German finances. Whether
France can be induced to consent to
this is hard to say. -
This is the crux of the situation.
One hopeful feature is the improved
situation at Lausanne, where the
Anglo - French understanding has
been restored In relation to the
Turkish question and this may pave
the way for a, complete agreement
on all international problems.
It is fully realized that unless
England can bridge the gulf be
tween France and Germany the re
covery of Europe is impossible.
Meanwhile the announcement by
the government that, the' British
loan to Austria, under the control
of the league of nations, has been
accepted as having a reassuring ef
fect. .
League Value Is Recognized.
All parties are beginning to recog
nize that the league is the sole in
strument through which continental
Europe can be revived, but France
still remains an obstacle in the
league and the report" from the'
French foreign affairs committee of
the chamber has decided to reject
the Washington naval pact natural
ly darkens the outlook.
There is a singular irony in the
fact that the first official act of
1110 jjuiio-i w guvcitiniDii, item uiiu.
to ratify the treaty with the Irish '
Free State. Bonar Law himself has
been a most stubborn opponent of '
home rule, but, of course, he accepts .
the fait accompli. Diehardism is
slowly disappearing in the presence
of an honest effort by the Irish gov
ernment to suppress the rebellion.
The arrest and execution of Erskine
Childers has created a deep im
pression in England. No other
course was open. Childers was the
Btrangest figure in the Irish drama.
A man of genius, infected with the
microbe of rebellion, who set him
self up to destroy all possibility of
friendly relations between Ireland
and England.
Hopes Held for Free State.
What Carson has been in the north
he was in the south, the irrecon
cilable enemy of settlement, but by
a strange contract of fate, while
Childers was stood against the wall
and executed by a firing squad,
Carson sits as a lord in the highest
court of the realm. Hopes are, grow
ing that the free state will weather
the storm. Cosgrave is regarded as
an able, sagacious man who inspires
confidence both in Ireland and Eng
land. It is expected formal ratification
of the treaty by the British parlia
ment will substantially strengthen
the free state. English opinion is
unanimously with Cosgrav.- None
but a few of the firebrands of the
Morning Post stamp want England
to be mixed up with the Irish gov
ernment again.
Mrs. Asquith's new book has fallen
flat. It lacks the British qualities
of her first efforts, but it throws
some new light on the relations be
tween Lloyd George and Mr. Asquith.

Matron Cnt-Off Desired.
"They are vitally interested in the
early completion of the Natron cut
off and believe this would be
brought about more surely and
quickly if the Southern Pacific and
Central Facit'ic remain under one
control. The best tiling that could
happen for the development of
southeastern Oregon would be the
, entry of a strong railroad like the
Southern Pacific, and if the South
ern Pacific railroad was compelled
to operate solely west of the Cas
cade and Sierra mountains it would
be damaging to Oregon."
Colonel Kelly afforded the only
amusement of an otherwise dry aft
ernoon when Attorney Spencer tried
to draw out of him that he was
more of an insurance man than
shipper. He asked the witness if
the door of his Portland office did
not show him to be an Insurance
agent.
"Oh, I have an office partner who
is in the insurance business,"
