Mufty Zade X. Zia Bey. Turk. dis
putting questions Of fact before 400
women and twenty men at the Colony
Club, divided the audience into two
factions over discussion Of Near
East affairs last Tuesday.
Zia is a nephew of Zia Pasha. for
mer Turkish Minister to the United
States. and was for some years in the
Turkish diplomatic service himself.
He Is an author who recently pub
lished Speaking of the Turks" With
compatriot he is engaged In the
manufacture OF cigarettes and he
speaks good deal. from time to time,
on Turkish subjects. He is suave.
dapper, we'll dressed little man. with
an excellent command Of English.
At the Colony Club meeting a Greek
was ono speaker. Zia the other and Mr..
Morgenthau was the presiding officer.
The Greek read his speech without. ap-
parentiy. making much of an impres-
sion on the audience, and then zia took
the other side, and not only defended
everything tho Turks have done re-
Gently but denied the reports concern
Ing the massacre Of Armenians.
The Turk went even further. 1t was
learned yesterday, and besides criticiz-
Ing the American Government. said that
the British wsrs sbetting all sides In
tho Near East row in order eventually
20 take over the country.
When Zia had concluded Mr.. Morgen-
thau remarked that his statement was

untruth that even I. with a knowledge

One by one Mr.. Morsenthau took UP
a number Of Zia's assertions and desig-
mated them az false. He quoted officials
of the present Turkish Government In
rcfutation of some OF the things zia
had said. and he made the Turk admit
| that he had no intention OF appearins
TO contradict the oficiai record. He
also said he had como prepared. and
called on Bishop McGuinnsss Of Jsru.

what he had said. This the Bishop did
from the moor.
According to Mr. Morgenthau. whe
admitted the whole incident. but de-
clined to talk about It yesterday when
told or the information obtained by THE
NEW YoRK HERALD, the AFFAIR was decor
rous IN the extreme and. while num-
Der of the women left during the ais
cussion. THAI was because OF the late
ness OF the hour.
However, there were many among the
women present who not only espoused
the cause Of the Turk but objected to
the fact that Mr.. Morgenthau had dealt
with him. Al some of them put x, with
out gloves" On the other hand. other
women. apparently the majority. felt
that Mr.. Morgenthau had done job
we'll worth doing. holding that the oc-
casion. should not have been seized upon
for the purpose OF putting over pro-
Turkish propaganda. Mr.. Morgenthau
admitted in his talk that he had beer

AMATEUR BOXERS
 ENGAGE IN FIRST
 SHOW AT STAMFORD

Amateur boxing which proved very popular in Bridgeport and other places around the state last year will be put on an even higher plane this coming season. according to Captain Max Baum, local promoter of the simon pures. Stamford will stage the first tournament of the season next Monday night in the Elks' Hall. Cap tain Baum will send a Bridgeport team to compete but he is yet unde- cided as to just who he will select. A big effort will be made to uncover some new talent this year.
 Several of last years medal hunters entered the professional ranks. includ- Ing Joe Delaney, Tony Retharta and Johnny Mason. The latter is posi- lively the best prospect developed in the amateur game. He has proven his ability in three fights in the money class against Harvey Kelly, Young Si1verberg and Kid Lewis.
 All local boys wishing to enter the amateur ring may do so by filling out an application for membership in the A. A. U. at the Board of Recreation.
 The local season will get underway about the second week in October in the State Street Casino. Semi-monthly shows will be put on through the winter months. Captain Baum also announces that he will try to land the state championships for Bridgeport this year. The title bouts were held in Meriden last year but were not generally SatiSfa ctOry.
