GOVT. DRY AGENTS
ARE UNDER ARREST
Two Held in Washington on
Perjury Charges

Washington, July 10 P-Two of
the capitals squad of under cover"
prohibition agents We're in Jail to-
day on charge of perjury in con-
nection with a story of having
bought whiskey from a member of
the police force.
Their arrest last night came as a
result of police officers becoming
suspicious over the color of the evil
dence obtained by the two agents
which they said in nearly all cases
was red, while the raiding squad
usually found gin or corn.
The agents, Charles d. Davis and
Jesse J. Hall, We're told to try and get
a buy" from Police Officer Curtis,
the authorities said. After this order
was issued a squad of officers sta
toned themselves in the Curtis
home. Late in the afternoon the
agents returned with a pint of COL
ored whiskey, it was charged, re-
porting it had been purchased from
4 woman at the address given.
Police said Davis had not been
near the place and that the ''evi-
dencc" had been bought from a
bootlegger in another part of the
town.
The Washington Post said Davis
recently had been the cause of a
misunderstanding between the police
department and the Citizens Service
association, an organization of citi-
zens that seeks evidence of dry law
violators. An agent of the associa-
ton asserted that the organization
brought about 200 arrests and when
asked for an explanation, the Post
said police We're advised that the
association counted the arrests that
had been made as a result of Davis
Investigations.
The paper added that one of the
two agents. whom it did not name,
had been recommended to the police
department by Harry N. Douthitt
field secretary of the organization.
The district attorneys office in
dicated today that nearly two dozen
cases might be nolle pressed as a
result Of the arrest of the agents

OLD HAREMS To BE
MADE into MUSEUM
Horrors Of Turkish Palace Are
No More

Constantinople, July 10 Up
Walls that shrouded secret fears of
harem captives are to be pene-
trated by the public.
The settings Of tragic mysteries
viii be opened to view here when
the imperial palace OF the Turkish
sultans is transformed within a few
months into a museum.
Fear seems to have pervaded
the harem labyrinth in the days of
the Ottoman empire. 1t lurked in
secret stairways behind swinging
walls, in heavy doors and great iron
bolts and bars that separate room
from room. even in the innermost
parts OF the harem, In countless
closets and little cubbyholes with
doors, where saucers of oil with
floating wicks, the only means of
illumination, We're placed so that no
corner OF the harem would ever be
strongly lighted.
There was fear, too. In the huge
chimneys with their pointed
witches hats of bronze. Up one of
these chimneys the boy Sultan NAH
moud climbed to escape pursuing
rebellious Janissaries while a girl
servant threw embers from the
brazier which stood below into the
faces OF her masters assailants.
This servant, Djevri kadin, later be-
came the favorite of the monarch
whose life she had saved.
A group of particularly gloomy
low ceilinged rooms bear the name
Of The Cage" and it was there that
many crown prince was strangled
and many sultan kept captive by
some usurping relative. 1t was there
in the 18th century that Sultan
Murad " had his two younger
brothers beheaded in the presence
Of his Oldest brother, Ibrahim, who
mad during the years of his impri-
sonment in The Cage" and the
years of his reign as sultan after
the death Of Murad.
Another tale Is connected with a
woman Of the 18th century, Kersem
most famous woman of Ottoman
history. The beautiful and powerful
mother OF the mad Ibrahim, Kersem
Sultana, at the age of 62 was
strangled at midnight with the cord
of the curtain which shrouded her
bed by the enunichs. Her assailants
were partisans of her daughter-in-
law. who had discovered Kersems
plot of numbering the heir to the
throne that same night, in order
that she and her Janissary support
ers might rule the empire undisturb-
cd.
The prayer chamber of the women
OF the harem is situated in the up
permost floor of the meandering
building. Half of one side OF the
wall swings out disclosing a deep
closet which still smells family of
many mingled incenses sent from
@Gcred Mecca.
On a high shelf is a great chest,
rmpty now, which till the day of
the last sultan contained buried
within hundreds of gorgeous wrap
pings tiny bottle. In that bottle
iay one hair of the beard of the
prophet. On the 18th day of the
sacred fasting month of Ramazan
every year the wives of the sultan
unwound the countless wrappings.
solemnly kissed the bottle and
then reverently laid it away again.
Only the fingers of sultanas could
touch these wrappings and only
their royal lips might press the holy
relic.
The bottle, together with the
prophets mantle is now in another
sealed room of the palace outside
the harem. room which will be the
only portion of the palace still bar
red to the public when the harem
itself is thrown open.

Middle Ground Is Best
(Sioux.C Journal)

(SlOuX. Clty JOurfal)
Some newspapers seek to gain advantage by
printing as much nastiness it may be possible
to print and keep out Of Jail, and others take on
long faces and make announcement that they will
withhold all information regarding certain court
proceedings Of any unsavory nature. To our way
CT thinking, both fall short in appreciation Of the
newspapers right relationship with the pubc--the
former to it's privileges, the latter to its du-
ties. In such dilemma, for instance, that of
reporting the Browning ,Heenan trial, the only
for self prospecting newspaper to pursue is
to give the reading public such information as it
is entitled to, always deferring to good judgment
and keeping within the bounds Of decency. We are
inclined to congratulate The Associated Press for
the tactfulness and the effectiveness with which
it handled this particular story. The middle ground
generally is pretty safe ground and it is the
ground which reputable newspaper ought to
stand when it is confronted by the necessity of
making record Of unpleasant happenings. The first
province of newspaper is to print the news.
Everything else that modern newspapers do at
tempt to do is of secondary Importance in COM
pariscn. "Molding public opinion exposing vice,
engineering balloon races making wet and dry polls,
discovering most beautiful or most popular young
ladies, staging baby shows-all these less
worthy enterprises merely incidental to the big
business Of printing the news When a newspaper
accepts subscribers money there and then it
enters into contract to give him the within
the limits of saneness and decorum, and to just
the extent that it fails to do that it is guilty Of
breach of contract But this does not excuse any
newspaper for printing smut.
