but the experience nearly cost him
his life.
He was sitting In the operating
room with his head phones over
his ears and his feet resting COM
fortably against the big electric
transformer. directly under his op-
Grating table Suddenly he heard
the Olympia station calling him. He
threw down his antenna switch. but
before he could reach out his hand
for the key. In order to answer the
call. the current had done its work.
An hour later when he awoke he
heard his electric fan buzzing and
saw his antenna switch still down.
He attempted 10 stretch himself
and realize where he was. He found
his neck so stiff he could scarcely
move IT, A hole was burned
through his shoe and another
through his trousers.
He had received the full $4,000
volts of the current through his
body. Because of the low ampere-
age. the only effect on him was TO
put him to sleep. From now on he
declares he will keep his feet off
the transformer and other contact
points while sending aerograms.

Some of the Institutions,
Which Opened Today,
So Crowded That Con-
fusion Resulted.

After a vacation Of nearly three
months. the schools Of the city
again took up their work this morn
Ing.
The attendance was much
greater than expected and IN every
building extra pupils had 10 be
cared for. In many Of them II was
found necessary TO have two sepa-
rate sessions to care for all OF the
new pupils This delights the small
boys I'm those neighborhOods. as
they attend school now only half
day. About 10000 registered
Too Many Pupils.
There were large entering classes
at all the high schools AZ the
broadway and Lincoln the pupils
were readily cared for, but AZ the
new Queen Anne IL was found that
there were too many pupils assign
cd TO that school. Besides the reg.
ular high school students the pupils
Of the seventh and eighth grades Of
that vicinity were sent there, caus-
ing much confusion. But before the
session ended all were taken care OF.
Near the school buildings the
pie foundrieg" and quick lunch
counters once more opened up for
business. and AT the Broadway
building the freshmen were initia-
ted into the way TO get into one Of
them aud get out again with a pie
without splitting II on someone's new
suit. OF course several pies were
consumed and several suits ruined.
Because the university will not
open for several weeks the mem
beers Of the graduating classes for
several years back were present at
the high schools.
Prepare for Football.

NO MORE POLYGAMY
IN TURKEY THAN m
The UNITED STATES
MRS l.. RICHARDSON.
This Woman Admits, How
ever, That if She Told
Some Things Friends
Would Be Beheaded.

"f I cast any reflections on
Turkish life that would be dis
tasteful TO the sultan. ! fear my
friends In constsntinople will
be behesded. Therefore, I shall
be very careful during the
course Of my lectures not TO at
tempt anything sensational
which would cost my Turkish
friends their lives, and, besides,
there 10 no more polygamy in
Turkey than there 10 right here
In America"
Thus spoke Mrs. L. Parks Rich
ardson. cousin of American Consul
General Luther Short. at Constan-
tinople. at the home OF Manson f.
Backus. ITO University st. where
this morning she delivered the first
OF a series OF lectures on life within
Turkish harems Mrs. Richardson
has personally visited these houses
of mystery on numerous occasions.
and has a wealth of information
concerning them.
Would Be Beheaded
mo doubt" she explained. many
OF my hostesses and others labor
under the impression that my re.
marks viii be OF a sensational
character. That Is far from the
truth. II would be bad taste for
me 10 be entertained In the palace
OF the sultan. partake OF his hos
pitality. and then come back TO
fhfe country at,R ,,.ahn n Tie, sk.~,-.h
about what | observed. II | should
divulge some of the secrets con.
corning the habits of Turkish wom-
en- there is little doubt in my mind
that the Turks suspected of giving
me the information would be be-
headed That would never do. It
took me many months To gain the
confidence OF those people. Surely,
am not going to violate IL now"
Mrs. Richardson declares she can
say In truth that all the stories OF
mystery the Americans hear about
Turkish harems are Arabian Night
dreams
Has But One Wife.
"The sultan of Turkey. like an
American" she continued, has but
one wife Why all these tales about
his harem being full OF beautiful
wivesg II Is not true. The mystery
of Turkish life was unveiled TO me
through actual association and in
innate friendship with the Turkish
people.
For example. the Turkish house
hold is divided into two sections,
one being called "A selamlik and the
other haremlik. The former Is
the exclusive domicile' of the men
of the family. and the haremlik con
stitutes series of apartments for
women and children. The harem
Is nothing more than family
hearthstone, In no harem are there
even six women. There is no more
nolygamy in Turkey than there is
right here in America"
Mrs. Richardson declares her
sympathies are with the Turkish
women.
