NOT YET DECIDED me Authorities Report That He Will Abdicate —_— . Constantinople, Nov. 4, (By Assocl- ted Press)—The anxious today to learn what the ultan was going to do about the nanimous decrée of the grand na- lonal assembly sitting at Angora, de- laring the sultanate In Turkey at an nd. 8horn of his executive and legisla- ive powers by the action of the na- Tlonalist assembly yesterday, the sul- ¢ tun is declared By some of the news- i papers to be ready to abdicate, But E general opinion s that he will ignore | the decision reached at Angora. The public received the announcement from Angora with mixed feelings. The heir apparent, Abdul Medjid 0 Eftend, cousin of the sultan, and oth- o er members of the imperial family | conferred last night at the Dom- bagsche palace. They gave particu- - lar attention to the decision of the . national assembly that hereafter the i cholee. of the caliph is to be that ; mempoer of the imperial family “who | s best instructed, the best educated, { the most honest and the wisest.”” All of the imperial conferees decided that none of them would accept the thréne it stripped of temporal power. Offi- clals in high palace circles were par- ticularly angry at the resolution 1in which the grand national assembly decjared that the palace of the Sub- lime Porte had passed into history, because, “through corrupt fgnorance for several centuries it provoked nu- merous {lls for the country.” - _The action at Angora split the Con- ntinople cabinet. The majority of i}:‘e ministers surrender because of na- lonalist charge of treason against the A"gul(ln. Shortly after the news came 4from Angora, Tewflk Bey resigned as minister of finance in the sultan's ~ jeabinet, and Said Bey gave up his post minister of public instruction. i The dissenting ministers were ex- luded from the conference in the alace which was attended by the inisters of interior, foreign affairs nd marine and the grand vizier. After the conference at which the inisters kissed the hand of the sul- n, the sultan drove to a mosque in e imperial coach and performed his sual devotions. A large congrega- lon was present as a result of ru- ors that he would resign. _— 'q fer Mussolini’s First Measure 'Will be to, Get Money to Run Gov- 1 ermment Until Next July Rome, Nov. 4.—(By the Assoclated )—The first bill to be presented .

Signor De Vecchi, the under-secre- £y of pensions hasexpressed the in- ntion of presenting a bill modifying fhe.pension law, excluding deserters rom its benefits. According to some political circles seems possible that the parliament 11 give the cabinet a vote of confi- ence within 24 hours after the open- ng_of the chamber, If this should rove. correct the result would have 0 be considered something in the na- re of a miracle, as heretofore it has always taken several weeks for a «cabinet thus to establish itself. : ~ SEEK 70 ABOLISH HULA | Civic Club Claims that the Dance is a “" Libel Upon Hawallan Race and Customs. ! g Honolulu, T. H., Nev. 4—Two an- gclent and forotten laws on the statute .books of Hawaii which still are ef- I gfective could be invoked to suppress gthe hula-hula dance of Hawail, which gds unusually performed by a grass- skirted woman, according to an an- nouncement by territorial Attorney- “Gen. John A. Mathewman, in con- nection with recent efforts to abolish the hula exhibitions, now given main- ly for the entertainment of tourists, The announcement followed adoption of a resolution by Hawalian Civic club, composed of leading Hawaiians, denouncipg the ula, as a “libel upon the Hawaiian ace and its customs.” Judge Mathewman said that the ‘laws which might be enforced against exhibitions had been on the statutes of the territory for many years—one rsince 1850 and the second since 1896, #this having been adopted when Hawail was a republic. « In connection with the campaign ,against the hula, Vaughan Mac- ICaughey, territorial superintendent of wechools, while addressing the Hono- ilulu Ad Club, declared that the “so- .called high society dancing which is eén at leading soclal events is more jmmoral than the hula.” " GO-OPERATION IS URGED the the SRS Federal Government and State Gov- ernments Should Help Each Other In Matter of Rodent Eradication. ‘Washington, Nov. 4 Damage by smaller predatory rodents on stock- men’'s ranges, while not so spectacular as that by wolves, mountain lions and coyotes, is very considerable, and in some cases more than equals that of the predatory animals, according to i Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the United States . blological survey. There should be eloser cooperation, particularly in the ' matter of appropriations, between the federal and state governments, so that the largest amount available from both sources may be obtained, he says The department of agriculture de- s RS e whole Near East! clares that If the prarle dog alone were exterthinated over |its entire range, which is economically possi- ble, 4,000,000 more cattle and 4,000,- 00 more sheep could be raised on that area, because of the increase in the amount of forage, Records of the biological survey, a branch of the department, show that in Texas Its hunters, cooperating with the state agencles, have killed about 20,000 predatory animals, aggregating a saving of more than §2,700,000. Of the total of 17,300 wolves and coyotes captured, more than half had records as killers. ALLIGATORS ARE NOT BABIES' PETS P. 0. Department Says They Are Harmless Under 20 [nches ‘Washington, Nov. 4.—When is. and when isn't an alligator a harmless ani- mal, has been a much mooted ques- tion. Those who have undergone the still more or less discussed fictional adventure of the destruction in a big ‘gator's switchable tall, are somewhat decided. There are many folks who still believe a youngster {s a playful pet that can be kept in the parlor as a chum for the baby; but one who has had even the smallest hang onto his amicably extended forefinger with the grim persistence of a steel vise, may still be firm in his bellef that its best to leave ‘em alone at any age. The postoffice department, however, has decided that while under 20 inches over all length, the baby sau- rian {s harmless. So are baby chicks, soft shelled crabs, blood worms and chameleons. . One may feel confident the blood worm can be fondled with ease and without fear of danger, and still have his doubts also in regard to baby ter- raping, but the latter also are classed by the départment as harmless. This classification has been made by the department for the ease of mind of harassed postmasters whose clients have sought to make of their offices near-menageries. The mallability of live “mall matter” is still a hazy question among the general public, and even among many postmasters, the department declares, so to clear up the matter, a circular has been prepared to settle the question. For more than a year, live fowls and domestic animals were acceptable for mailing under a ruling which pre- scribed their handling.only when the complete journey was made by motor trucks, ut this ruling was revoked more than a year ago. Another ap- plying to the insurance and C. O. D. privileges of such shipments was not modified, under which regulation a few shipments of live fowls and do- mestic animals have been accepted by postmasters. Only small live animals “having no offensive odor and requiring no food or water in transit,” such as the fero- clous animals mentioned, and their like, may be sent in the mails and in- sured against loss, Aligators up. to 20 inches are included in.the Iist. ERROR IN PRINTING UPSETS ELECTION Essex County, Officials Make Mistake on Ballot and Re- publicans Are Out of Luck. Island Pon, Vermont, Nov. 4— Vermont politiclans are still discuss- ing an incident of the recent primary when the discovery of a ballet error enabled a hand picked slate for which only 70 votes were cast to defeat the republican candldates named on the official ticket for Essex County offi- cers. An attorney in this village, which is the home of Congressman Porter H. Dale, made note of the fact that instead of being printed on separate ballots as the law requires, the re- publican and democratic county tick- ets appeared on a joint ballot. At a hastily summoned conference late in the day he and some of his friends who had refrained from owing, drew up a ticket of republican candjdates none of whose names appeared on the { officlal ballot. They then went to a voting place and the attorney called for a republican ballot. When he was given one of the joint ballots, he called the attention of the election officlals to the error and convinced them, after looking up the wording of the law, that the ballot was not legal, It was agreed that the ballot be cut in two. Shortly before the polls closed the slitting process was com- pleted and on ‘the republican half the attorney and his friends wrote in the names of their candidates. When the votes were counted it was found that 70 had been cast for this ticket and one for the regular slate, and the election officials declared that these were the only legal republican votes qast in the country.

ITALY GELEBRATES AUSTRIAN VIGTORY! Mussolini Sends Greetings to Fel- lowmen in U. §. A Rome, Nov. 4, (By Assoclated Press).—The fourth anniversary of Italy's victory over Austria in the world war was celebrated in all parts of the land today with solemnity and profound emotion.

As the youths who returned victorious from the trenches bound themselves ~ to- gether like the forces of the Roman victors, succeeding in giving the ma- tion a rhythm of life worthy of the victory galned, so must you gain in the name of Italy in -ideal bonds ex-/ pressing all your strength and making felt with adequate energy the virtues of the Itallan people even outside the boundaries of your country. “Thus united, you will co-operate with greater alacrity, not only.in your own prosperity, but in that.of the| noble nation extending you hospital- ity, of which you are not a negligible| ftem of value. Italy rose from the victory of Vitorio-Veneto greater and more august.
