SCANDAL FEATURES
TURKISH CAPITAL
"Decadence" of AriStocraCy
Is Marked by Trial of
Woman for Shooting.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE. December IA
The decadence of Turkish aristocracy,
a subject dear to the press Of the new
republic, is supplying Constantinople
a lively scandal.
The scandal centerS in one OF high
Turkish society'S most beautiful women,
Allie Hanin. daughter of the once
wealthy and influential Chakir Pasha.
This daughter of an old aristocracy
was put on trial in the Criminal Court
of Stamboul, charged with attempting
TO shoot an Armenian, Nine. Manig.
supposedly a rival for the affections OF
handsome Hungarian piano teacher.
Court Packed by Curious.
A clause in Turkeys new code of
legal procedure prevents the press from
reproducing court proceedings capa-
BILE of injuring the moral dignity OF
the defendant, and so Turkish society
women and the public at large, hungry
for news of the trial, packed every ses-
sion of the court
Another scandal involving the de
cadent aristocracy" is that of Nihat
Bey, grandson of Ali Rifat Pasha,
former grand vizier of the Ottoman
empire. His attempted suicide because
a pretty little Armenian daughter Of
garage owner refused to marry him, is
fIIinc the bourgeoise which now rules
Turkey with derisive expression OF
Hcorn.
These cases are cited as examples of
a general truth-that the aristocracy of
Turkey is slipping into the common
grave opened by the Great War for all
the aristocracies of the world.
Although there we're no titles of no.
billty in the Ottoman empire, the
Pasfa-zades, or sons Of pashas," con-
xtituted a class of Turkish aristocrats
born to the purple, cultured and
wealthy.
Aristocracy Not ExiIed.
This aristocracy, except for black
list of $50 individuals, was not actually
exiled by the revolutionary Kemalists.
But time is proving that there is no
place for them in the new Turkey,
where power Is lodged in the sons OF
the Anatolian soil and in self-made
men of the middle classes like Mustapha
Kemal himself, whose father was
humble customs house official at Sa-
loniki and later dealer in wood.
A trustworthy Turkish investigator
and writer, Djelal Nouri Bey, states that
95 per cent of the sons OF pashaS, sons
who under Abdul Hamid were appointed
to lucrative government posts while they
were stiIl in the cradle and to high
army ranks while they were still in
school. are jobless under the new regime.
Four-fifths of their wealth, which
poured in with Arabian Nights splendor
from far-f1ung provinces of the en-
pire, has passed from their aristocratic
hands. Their great white villas stand
empty or are being rented for $40
month.

A plea for city manager pro-

Lock Company, an original Gloss

evils with which every one has been
familiar, and think the majority
who supported the commission form
did so thinking that only a radical
change would bring the city the
kind of government it deserves" !"
Baxter said.
The commissions form of appeal
lay in the belief that it would help
put the right kind of men in office, p"

Glossbrenner and the rest of the
ticket meets this popular demand" "
Baxter also praised George ".

In fairness to the Republican or

that they sought a mayoralty can
