---------s----- HUSBANDS SOUGHT FOR SULTAN'S WIVES DESERTED BY RULER
By Associntcd Press

Constantinople, December 3.-Rafet Pasha is trying to find husbands for 150 members of the former Sultan's harem. The women range in age from : to 35 years. All of them are penniless.
 Rafet also is anxious to solve the fate of the former monareh's nu- merous progeny as we'll as that of 20 princes and princesses of the royal blood. Since the Sultans flight the nationalist government has been sup porting these women, in addition to 100 eunuchs, and many servants The government now has decided that these people must shift for them selves
 Women of the harem who are able to, find husbands will be permitted to remain in Constantinople, but the re- mainder of them will be sent to their homes in the interior. Most of the women are Circassians and are de- scrbed as 'strikingly attractive.
 Tt ought not to be difficult to find husbands or helpmcets for these women," said q palace functionary today They all were selected for their beauty, youth and figure. Most of them were gifts to the Sultan from governors of the provinces. They have matchless complexions. dark eyes and long chestnut hair. EAll of them are very religious, faith full and affectionate.
 since their imperial master has left them without support. we must find husbands for them or they will starve. All they expect is a modest dowry. This, under our law, will be returned to the husband if he should desire to divorce the woman after wards"

By Associated Press

Washington. December S--Repre- sentative Tinkham. republican. Mas sachusetts. made public today a letter to President Harding, com mendlng his reported intention 10 re- fer in his message to Congress to widespread disrespect" for law as exemplified by defiance of the Fourteenth amendment, and suggest ing that all parts of the .constitu- ton "be enforced equally and inn partially"
 With the greatest respect" Mir Tinkham wrote, may I draw your attention to the fact that. whereas the Eighteenth amendment is permis- sive in it's authorization to Congress to pass legislation to enforce it. the second section of the Fourteenth amendment which commands Con gress to reduce representation tn proportion to Acknowledgement IS mandatory and prescriptive and is now scandalously and completely un enforced and nullified"
 MT. Tinkham asserted that with fragrant and widespread disfranchise- n:ent established by indisputable evil dence now before Congress and by common knowledge and the second section of the Fourteenth amendment unenforced. the very tenure of the office you hold and the representa- tion of the lower house of Congress is tainted with unconstitutionality."
 Mir. Tinkham suggested that ths President call attention of Congress to its present unconstitutidnal com position"

SAYS GREAT BRITAIN
 CAUSED ARREST OF
 IRISH LABOR LEADER

Chicago, December 3.-Agents of the British government were respon- sible for the Imprisonment of "Jim'' Iarkin, the Irish labor leader, who is now serving an indeterminate sem fence of from five to ten years in Sing Sing for alleged criminal sym dicalism, Peter Larkin, the impris- oned mans brother, said in a speech before the Chicago Federation of La I bor today.
 Declaring that agents of the Brit ish government had bribed American officials to bring about his brothers prosecution, Peter Larkin said that others indicted and imprisoned with his brother had been released He cited this as proof in support of a charge of conspiracy between the British government and certain American citizens to keep the organ ixer of the Irish transport workers in an American prison.
 The federation then voted resolu- hon ordering the executive board to take appropriate action toward ob- x.;ninu f,arkin's

'DE VALERA CLAIMS IRELAND DOES NOT
 FAVOR FREE STATE

Dublin, December 3.-The Irish re- publican Bulletin today contains a message from Eamonn DeValera re- plying to an article printed in the Manchester Guardian, which asserted that the Irish people had accepted the Irish treaty.
 sThe Irish electorate" say the De- Valera message. did not decide for the Free State last December, and has never decided for it, but it has unequivocally decided for and dsratified the republic at two general cleo tions and maintained it's choice through three years of terrible suf- fering.
 q repeat my challenge: Will the English government withdraw its threat of war and pledge itself to abide by the result of the free plebi- scite the Irish people have taken to decided between a republic and the proposed Free State?
 Irish republicans have not op- posed and will not oppose in arms, |any decision so reached, and we |pledge ourselves to the world not to do so Will your government give a similar pledge? If not, why not?
 That is the test by which all can judge whether there is or is not Eng Ilish dictation and whether the Irish people are really free to decide as they please.'

Mob Violence Reported in CrenShaW County Follow ing Death of Promi-
 nent Planter

Andalusia, Ala, December B. (Sepcial. )-Mob violence reigned in the vicinity of Harlan's gin house, just over the Crenshaw county line, today, where George Teague, negro, was killed and his body riddled with bullets, according to reports, and his two sons were in hiding after the killing at Il o'clock last night of Hosia Brogden, prominent farmer, resident of the Happy Hollow dis trict, few miles from Can't, in the midst of an argument between the negroes.
 MT. Brogden, who, with negro who worked on his farm, had car- ried the three blacks to negro fes- tival near the Widow Wells place, also near Can't, intervened, and was attacked by the elder Teague with a knife, while one of the sons, most generally thought to be Essic Teague, struck Mr. Brogden in the back of the head with heavy black jack, fraeturing the skull and eaus- ing almost instant death.
 Posses Formed
 Sheriff H. B. Can't, with county and city officials, who were rein forced by many volunteer citizens from the neighborhood. rushed to the scene soon after the report reached here. shortly after midnight. the kill- ing occurring at u o'clock last night.
 MT. Brogden was the brother of Hi- ram J. Brogden. recently elected pro- bate judge here. and had two other brothers who reside on neighboring farms to his. Friends and relatives throughout the country and state were enraged upon learning of the horrible catastrophe, and it was re- ported at the sheriffs office here this afternoon that hundreds of armed men from over the county were about the scene where the two younger negroes alleged to have been implicated are said tor havs made their temporary escape from the eofff- cers. It seems that George Teague had separated from his wife some few weeks ago, and that after arriving at the scene of the negro social last night, he went to the home of his former wife to take her to the party, which request was refused and the fight ensued. MT. Brogden and his negro employe endeavored to quiet the disorder, and both were attack ed by the Teague negroes. all of whom made a hurried getaway to the place where they were found this afternoon heavily armed. The elder negro was killed, according to reports, and the other two were still being sought by officers at late hour this after nOon
