WILL TAKE OFF
THEIR SHOES
Visitors to the Mosque of Omar
Must Do As moslems Do.
CUSTOM Will BE OBSERVED
FEATURE OF THE WORLDS FAIR
AT ST. louis.
CBv helen r. Hofmanl

St Louis, Mo, Dec. 21.-A strange re-
quest-that is. strange at least, to the
world outside the Orient, will be made
Of every one who visits the Mosque Of
Omar at the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position next summer.
Every one who enters this world-re-
noNned place of interest will be. COM
PEELED to leave off his shoes.
This strange edict has lust been is
sued by no less a person than the sultan
Of Turkey
This does not mean that a ban has
oeen put on American or English made
shoes, nor does the sultan in making
this request mean it understood that he
does not favor the inartistic bulldog
toes and heavy soled affairs that the
girls persist in wearing, neither, the
high heels that have brought nothing
but ills and general disfavor among
women.
Is Sacred Ground.
The explanation for this seemingly
unique order is simply this: The
Mosque Of Omar even in its reproduced
form, is to the sultan of Turkey and his
cOreligiOnists most sacred ground
wherein no unholy foot contaminated
by the filth and CRIME of the street,
may tread.
Therefore. every one who visits this
the Mohammedan i.l:-ce of worship
made sacred by the teachers and
prophets of old, can do so on one condi-
ton only-he must remove his shoes
The sultan of Turkey, in giving his Of
fetal sanction to participation in and
representation Of his country at the
Worlds fair, did so upon one distinct
condition He has exacted a promise
from the fair officials who waited upon
him with the invitation to participate in
the big exposition, and this promise will
be respected in accordance with the
sultans wishes.
Whatever represents my country
and subjects at the fair, I want to be
an exact and faithful representation"
the sultan IS quoted as saying.
In referring to being misrepresented
ar the exposition, the sultan made chief
objection to the several dances that
have been credited to his people at for
mer international shows. Therefore, In
the promised exhibit of his country,
which bids fair TO be one of the most ip-
tereSting of the big exposition, the
wishes Of the sultan will be strictly ad-
hered to in every detail.

ton. the contents of which if published side by side of the one you did publish. would have thrown a very different light upon the subject. This letter as l re- member it, contained one of the strongest appeals to Bishop Beckwlth to forego hls objection to MT Ewings coming to Ala bama, vouching in the srongest terms for him as a man, and vouching too, for the correctness of his theological views. In it was contained this sentence speaking of the Morris marriage If you have no other reason for resisting his election. would ii not be best to waive so small matterg' If you and the bishop wished to give all the facts why did he not furnish you with this last named letter, and why was 1t not published side by side with the one you did publish? Your attention has been called here before to these errors and you have confessed them. but l have seen no public correction. Your failure to do so Is of itself a sufficient excuse for the publication of this letter
 Bishop Bratton has admitted in a letter ito Mir. Ewing that he was mistaken In supposing that there was ever any reason why MT. Ewing should not have received from him a letter dimlssory in "canon- ical'' form.

BESSEMER COURTS
 ARE IN 4 MUDDLE
ACT ESTABLISHING INFERIOR COURT WILL BE TESTED AND MORROW BILL WILL ALSO BE TAKEN up.

Bessemer, July 27-(speeial)- 1.-The re- cent decision of the supreme court. de- elarlng the consolidated court act uncon- stitutlonal, has caused a muddle in the Bessemer courts. The act establishing the inferior court is to be tested. and the eonstitutionality of the Morrow bill trans ferring civil cases from the Bessemer to the Birmingham courta will also be tested.
 Tomorrow Judge Jones will set the date for hearing the quo warranto proceedings instituted by Justice of the Peace S. J.. Tillman to test the inferior court bill The ground on which the case will be fought is the question of advertising the act as required by the constitution.
 After this is disposed of the Morrow bill will also be taken up, it being claim ed that the bill was not sufficiently ad- yertised. Several months ago the Nor TOW act was tested before the supreme court on grounds that the removal of cases from Bessemer to Birmingham was change of venue The court decided that in so far as the change of venue was concerned the bill was constitution al. It is claimed that the Morrow bill was not sufficiently advertised.

FIRE AT PLANT OF
 SEMET- -SOLYAY GO.
TAR VAT TURNS OVER IN WEST ENsLEY AND SERIOUS BLAZE IS NARROWLY AvERTED-oTHER NEWS.

Ensley, July 27-(Special) )-Fire broke out in the tar plant of the Semet-Solvay company in West Ensley, tonight at I o'clock, and for a time the plant was threatened The entire fire department was called out and got the blaze under control before much damage was done. The loss was small.
 The fire was caused by one of the vats of hot tar turning over on some molten slag. The fluid was ignited and the woodwork was soon in flames. The fire spread very rapidly, the flames shooting high in the air.
 When the department first reached the scene the water was so poor that very little could be done to check the flames. About 12000 empty tar barrels were lying near by, and 1t looked as if they would take fire. Chief Hollingsworth was on the scene directing his men, and as the water pressure grew stronger the fire men were enabled to make an effective fight against the flames It was nearly two hours however, before the blaze was totally extinguished.
 Superintendent Sherman of the Semet- lBolvay plant stated that the losses in lrurred are small and that the work of | repairing the damage will be commenced l It once.
