That They Have Not.

That They Have Not.
London, October 24.-(By Associated
Press) s).-"Have women souls?" was 8
proposition placed before the Authors
club last night by George Harvey, the
American ambassador, who was the
principal guest at a dinner given b!
the club
Mr.. Harvey delved deeply into thu
Pentateuch, the FVendavesta and thC
Talmud, pointing out that there was NJ
recognition in the decalogue Of the
possession Of souls or inherent rights
by women, and that the Ten Com.
mandments were written for men an(
apply exclusivelysto men.
The ambassador asserted that the.
ory and practice, as we'll as logic ant
reason, "drive us to the conclusion
that either the commandments should
be revised to meet the requirements Of
modern conditions or a specific deca.
logue should be constructed exclusive.
ly for women"
AS the theologians apparently were
unable or unwilling to undertake this
Mr.. Harvey said he commended the
solution of the whole fascinating prop.
osition to the Authors club.
"Out of His Element" Mrs. FELTON,
Asserts.
Cartersville, Ca, October 24.-"Am.
bassador Harvey is slightly out Of his
element, in commenting on the Ter
Commandments, and their application
to women"
This was the opinion expressed by
Senator Mrs. w. H. FELTON, today, when
she was questioned regarding Harvey's
speech in London. Georgia's junior
senator, suffering from a heavy cold
said that she did not feel that it was
necessary for her to comment al
length on such o. wild Interpretation Of
the laws that have stood unchanged
for thousands of;years.
an politics Ambassador Harvey is
at home. He isialso at home, appar-
emily at a banquet table, but in inter-
preting he seems to be rather at sea.
II was highly amused, even as bat
as I feel, especially when he asked for
a new set of commandments.
"The old order changes, it Is GER
tain, but such changes as he suggests
seem to be, ,rather far-fetched," she
concluded.
Rheba Crawford Takes Issue With
Harvey.
New York, October 24.-All men are
natural born polygamists, that's why
the commandments forbid them to
covet each others wives, Captain Rhe-
ba Crawford, of the Salvation Army
declared today.
Taking issue with Ambassador Har-
vey, who seems to think women are
ignored in the Decalogue because they
have no soul, Captain Rheba Crawford
pointed out that the contrary is true
women are not forbidden to sin because
they are naturally inclined to be good
Men are wicked ones.
"All men including those I have
known in my "a years, if they followed
their natural inclination, would be
polygamists," said Captain Crawford
who gained fame recently by submit
ting to arrest rather than quit preach
ing to save mems souls in the bright
light district of Broadway.
But the men are forced-most of
them-by law or necessity, to be mon
ogamists.
Women are naturally monogamists
at is not necessary expressly to
forbid them to covet their neighbors
husbands because they are not natu-
rally inclined to such covetousness."
Captain Crawford said that Ambas-
sador Harvey has drawn his theory
that women have no souls entirely
from the Old Testament. When the
books of the Old Testament were writ
ten, she said, practically all men were
polygamists and that accounts for the
scant mention Of women.
