Aged Eunuch Still
Protects Deserted
Harem of BOkhara

Old Bokhara, Soviet Uzbekistan,
Republic, June 23-(P)-1n the ruined
palace of the deposed emir Of Box
hara. an aged eunuch still stands
guard over his harem quarters. He
believes that some day his master,
a refugee in Afghanistan, will return
and rule over the country now under
the charge of the Soviet authorities.
For 80 years the eunuch worked
in the harem of his royal master and
he refuses to leave the spot which
he considers sacred.
In this ancient oriental metropolis
for hundreds of years the powerful
emir Of Bokhara ruled politically and
spiritually over 12DOO,OOO native
Mohametans.
The most impressive monument to
the Uzbek's resistance to the invad-
ing Red hordes is the demolished
palace, covering two square blocks,
which, standing on the summit Of an
artificial citadel, marks like a giant
tombstone, the former glory and
power Of the khanate Of Bokhara.
One Building Left
b Amidst these mOldering ruins the
soviet government occupies the only
building that escaped demolition
Only few yards distant is the
throne room and court Of the deposed
emir, exquisiteiy decorated wan
oriental ties, jasper and malachite.
The aged Eunuch related the
dramatic flight OF the emir, when Red
troops captured Bokhara.
The emir, he said, was sleeping
serenely until awakened by rifle fir.
ing in the streets Of Bokhara. This
was the prelude to u desperate battle
between the advancing revolutionary
forces and those loyal to the emir.
The rebels, superior in number and
better armed, soon vanquished the
emirs adherents and, marching ia
the citadel, sought to capture the
emir and his fabulous treasures.
Preparations had been made, how
ever. for such an eventuality and the
potentate, hurriedly dressing and
summoning his palace legionarles,
escaped through subterranean pas
sage. Taking with him his 800 wives,
many chests Of gold and jewels and
5000 camels, the panic stricken ruler
fled across the desert to safety.
Wives Weep Frantically
The sky was studded with stars,
and the brilliant full moon silhou-
cited the long train of camels and
their human burdens wildly against
the horizon. The emir's multitudin-
Gus wives, who never before had left
the confines Of the royal harem,
moaned and wept franticaily.
The fallen monarch scattered gold
in the desert sands as he fled across
the vast open trail leading to Afghan
istan, believing the precious metal
would serve as "bait' to the pur-
suing cavalry men, and thus impedes
their progress and facilitate his own
escape.
"Allah was with our sovereign on
his flight across the DESERT" said
the venerable attendant; that is
what saved him. Our religion does
not permit US to accept the rule of
anyone except caliph or emir. That
is why think our sovereign will
some day return from Afghanistan,
and rule over US"

Aubrey Boomer Is
Called Best British
Golfer Since VardOn

New York, June 24.-(NEA)-The
best British player since Nardon-
that's the label the boys snapped on
Aubrey Boomers worsted golf jersey
after Boomer had been seen on the
links.
Critics were inclined to sniff con-
temptuously at Worcester and at
Oakmont, but Messrs Hagen, Armour,
Sarazen compared notes and their
general opinion was that this Boom
er was Il lii and one to be watched
closely.
Then came the label-"the best
British player since Vardon." He is
long off the tee, beautifully crisp
with his irons, accurate above the
ordinary with his chips and run-up
shots, fine putter. That is, he
has acquired n delicate putting touch
and, while his play on the fast Mas
sachusetts green's was only fair. it
was easily seen he has the putting
art down to a nicely.
The American team as man ex-
pected to and did brush aside the
Duncans, Compstons, Rays and others
in the American open, but they were
all fearful, while admiring the ster-
ling qualities Of Boomer, that this
tall, quiet gentleman who seems vo-
cationally misfitted, would cause a
lot of trouble. However, he didn't.
He is the mightiest foreign threat,
however, since Ted Ray beat the field
at Inverness in 1920.

M0sley in Shadow
of Great Wealth

London. June 24.-tP Oswald
Mosley is rapidly reaching front rank
among the orators Of the British
labor party.
This dapper young aristocratic
socialist may some day inherit a
share of the Letter millions of Chi
cago. His wife is Lady Cynthia,
daughter of the late Lord Curzon ana
Mary Letter. Lady Cynthia also has
proclaimed socialism rs her political
doctrine.
Last year Mosley shocked con-
servative England by observing the
Conservative party of his fathers
and joining the labor movement.
Now he shocks his former col
leagues almost daily by oratorical
outbursts in the House Of Commons
or at open air labor rallies.
Mosley employs bitter invective in
his speeches. In the open air his
deep voice, hurled clear to the outer
fringes Of the crowds, makes simple,
direct appeals to the people, from
the labor viewpoint.
THE Baldwin government is on its
last legs" he shouts. "Smethwick
proved it," There is a frenzy of
cheering and hat waving.
Glowering at the conservative
benches in the House Of Commons,
young Mosley once referred to his
opponents as "Gadarene swine"

A former school teacher and nub-
Usher of weekly newspaper, Sen

Washington, June 24.-fP)-Con-
gress is growing younger, and more
athletic, as time passes.
That epigrammatical condition is
attributed by supporters OF the dl-
rect primary to the direct primary
by defenders of the younger genera
ton to the increasing influence Of
each succeeding younger generation,
by others to the fact that, several
years ago, an unusually large num-
Der of members died within short
period. Some even go so far as to
suggest that it may be due to the
spreading popularity of outdoor rec
reation among people in general, and
constituents in particular.
Galf and Tennis
The majority, of course, is made
up of golfers, headed by Vice Presi-
dent Dawes, and including at least
one representative, William B.
Oliver, Of Alabama, who shoots cons
sistently under 80. Tennis, however,
is represented, together with horse
back riding, hunting, fishing, swim
ming, walking, gymnasium exercises
and the well-known daily Dozen
Several have notable Athletic ca
reers behind them. Representative
Daniel A. Reed, Of New York, prime
mover in the organization, back in
1920, of the house gymnasium,
which is maintained through private
subscriptions by members, was a
football and wrestling star at Cornell,
where he later served for fifteen
years as gridiron coach. He also was
coach for Penn State for. time, and
Representative Albert H. Vestal, Of
Indiana, one of those who became in
terested in the gymnasium idea, has
given him credit for restoring his
health.
Senator Henry W. Reyes, Of New
Hampshire, once was the stroke, and
later coach, Of the Harvard crew,
while Senator Daniel F Steck. of
Iowa. and Representative Hamilton
Fish, Jr., of New York, were cele-
brated football players.
Other Sport Enthusiasts
Senator William E. Borah, Of
Idaho, is one of the most widely
known horsemep; Senators Harry b.
Halves, of Missouri, and Steck share
enthusiasm for hunting and fishing,
while the senate golfers number Wal

Prison Warehouses
to Be Protected By
Automatic Sprinkler

Preparations for the installation of
an automatic sprinkler system to pro-
tect warehouses at the state peniten-
tiary from fire are being made by
Warden John J. Lee. A contract for
the installation, which will cost
$4,000, recently was let by the state
board of administration.
The system will protect approxim-
ately 100000 worth of manufactured
binder Irvine now on hand at the
penitentiary. This amount is rapidly
being reduced, however, as heavy
shipments are being made to all parts
OF the state in view of the big de-
mand anticipated because of the bum
per grain crop now in prospect.

SEATTLE CHAMBER ACTs
 ON ALASKA PROJECTS

SEATTLE, April 5. (P)-The Seat tie Chamber of Commerce trustees recently passed three measures O. benefit to Alaskan development-aid :: to navigation, a goodwill excursion to Alaska and regulations effecting the shipment of gold bullion.
 On recommendation of the Fishing Vessel Owners association, which represents 130 vessels of the halibut fleet operating out of Seattle in AL ashan waters, the chamber favored several aids to navigation in that territory, which it was decided to CO., operate with the Young Mems Busi- ness club in organizing a commercial goodwill excursion to Alaska in 1928. It is planned to conduct the excur- sion as far in the Interior as Fair banks, travelling by railroad and mot or highway.
 Another resolution recommended that the Postoffice Department mod ify postal regulations so as to permit the shipment of gold bullion by mail from Alaska to the States in pack ages containing up to 50 pounds, as it appears that the present regula- tion limiting the weight of packages to II pounds causes a loss and an inconvenience to the shipper.
 These resolutions were passed by the chamber on recommendation of it's Alaska department.
