LONDON, Eng, March 19.-In
the one scale, happiness, home,
and one woman, in the other, po-
sition, a palace, and a harem of
Turkish beauties.
Prince Loutfoullah, nephew to
the sultan of Turkey, made his
choice.
The one woman outweighed the
harem.
Prince Loutfoullah, by the turn
of a death or two, may succeed
to the Turkish throne. Yet he is
living quietly in London, as hap
ipy as a $40 week clerk, for with
him is the one woman whose beau
ty caused him to break with Tur-
kish custom, concluding with an
Ielopement that started official
Europe.
Mile. Tygonala is the heiress oi
one of the richest families in
Turkey. She has beauty, charm
intelligence. But marriage, with
the nephew of the sultan
"Pah!" said the sultan. "Impos
sible." 1t would be dreadful
mesalliance for one who might
some time be emperor. Ht
Wouldn't hear of 1t. The girl was
not even a member of the nobility
1t was out of the question.
Prince Loutfoullah bowed low
The sultan knew best, he said. He
didn't complain. But on leaving
the court, he hurried to the girl.
mother. He persuaded he to takt
Mile. Tygonall to Brussels for {
visit. Then the prince slipped
across the border at night, and tn,
wedding followed at the Belgian
capital.
Eve may not be forgiven, W,
ldon't care" said the prince. "Be
ing free, we are happy"

JUNEAU, Alaska, March 19.-
Citizens of Douglas, across the
channel from here, may now in
dulge in the luxury of a bath
without fear of being banished
from their homes. Wlter as a bev-
erage is again popular. The city
water pipes, which, since Decem-
Der, have been frozen solid, have
just thawed out as a result of the
warm rains of the past few days.
For months the city has been
without a water supply except
what has been hauled in on sleds
and which has sold for SO cents a
keg. One of the features of the
famine was the formation of an
organization of business men
which instituted a system of fines
for the extravagant use of water.
For taking a drink of water, the
fine was placed at 12k cents;
for washing hands and face, rs
cents, and anyone taking a bath
was sentenced to Punishment from
the island.

JOHN D. SHARPE
IS SET FREE
BY JURY
After Rendering Partial
Verdict, Jurors Are
Again Locked Up
to Deliberate.

NASHVILLE, T e n n.
March 10. = John ID.
Sharpe, former sheriff,
was acquitted today Of the
murder of the late Sena-
tor Carmack, but the jury
failed to agree on a YER
dict in respect to Colonel
Duncan Cooper and his
son, Robin Cooper, who
were co-defendants with
Sharpe.
The court discharged
Sharpe and sent the jury
back for further consider
alton Of the Coopers'
eases.
The jury had been out
more than two days and,
during the first "a hours,
lit was believed that there
was no possibility of an
agreement in respect to
any of the defendants.
HopelessIy Divided.
The Jurors protested to the
court against being sent back.
saying that they were hopelesslY
divided regarding the case OF both
Coopers. Judge Hart, however,
announced his intention of cofn-
pelling the jury to bring In ver-
dict, If possible.
Fund Exhausted.
Judge Hart announced that he
would keep the jury out q week
or more In order to obtain q do
cision. The trial has been one
of the costliest in the history OF
Tennessee. The county funds
have been exhausted by the heavy
drain caused by the trial. In caso
the jury Is still unable TO agree
and finally .is dismissed. II q
probable that the cases Of tho
Coopers cannot be brought. to
trial again Immediately.
The widespread publicity given
the trial Is believed to be am
other obstacle in the way of .
speedy retrial of the father and
son, owing to the difficulty of se-
curing unprejudiccd jurors.
Outgrowth Of Feud.
The killing OF Senator Carmack
was the outgrowth OF long and
bitter political feud between the
Coopers and Carmack and em-
bracing many other prominent
men of this state.
Originally Carmack was q pro-
tege of Colonel Cooper. Later
they became enemies wheu CIR
