OLD HARENS TOBE MADE INTD MUSEUM Horrors of Turkish Palace Are No More Constantinople, July 19 (P— Walls that shrouded secret fears of harem captives are to be pene- trated by the public. The settings of tragic mysteries wil be opened to view here when the imperial palace of the Turkish sultans is transformed witnin a few months into a museum. Fear seems to have pervaded the harem labyrinth in the days of the Ottoman empire. It lurked in secret stairways behind swinging walls, in heavy doors and great iron Dbolts 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, were 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 Mah- moud climbed to escape pursuing rebellious Janissaries while a girl servant threw embers from the brazier which stood below into the faces of her master's 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 t many a crown prince was strang and many a sultan kept captive by some usurping relative. It was there in the 17th century that Sultan Murad IV had his two younger brothers beheaded in the presence of his oldest brother, Ibrahim, who went mad at the sight and remained 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 woman of the 16th century, Sultana, “Body of the Moon,” the most famous woman of Ottoman history. The beautiful and powerful mother of the mad Ihrahim, 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 Kersem’s plot of murdering the heir to the throne that same night, in order that ehe and her Janissary support- +rs might rule the empire undisturb- The prayer chamber of the women of the harem is situated in the up- permost floor of the meandering building. Halt of one side of the wall swings out disclosing a deep closet which still smells faintly of Jany mingled incenses sent from cred Meeca On a high shelf is a great chest, mpiy now. which till the day of sultan contained b hin hundreds of a tmy bottle. s In that bottle one hair of the beard of the prophet. On the 15th 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 prophet’s mantle, is now in another sealed room of the palace outside the harem. a room which will be the only portion of the palace still bar- red to the public when the harem itself 1s thrown open.

Shaw. Shaw, a fishing expert, had pre- pared a defense of the president’s use of worms instead of flies but was barred from making it over WABC last week. After he had charged that the barring was due to political motives of those who hoped to make worms a campaign issue, arrangements were made for him to broadcast over WGL last night. Shaw went on to say that regard- of whether an angler uses a the result is the 1 bent pin or a $100 rod, and the sporting element same. He said Mr. Coolidge is vindicated by the vast majority of South Da- kota fishermen, who use a sunken lure instead of flies.
