The girl who made the .complaint was found this morning to be under 16 years of age. The Persiaps were warned that the Turkish government intended this year to put a stop to the gory demonstration, staged every year on the tenth night of the moon in the Moslem month of Mouharrem. But they gathered secretly in the courtyard of an ancient han, hid- den in a ¢hadowy corner of Stam- boul, and laying costly Persian car- .pets on the cobblestones where camel garavans used to unload their burdens, they constructed an impromptu mosque wherein to fol- | low the spectacular eites. Persians have performed the ceremony on this night for thirteen centuries in memory of Hassan and Husseln, | grandsons of the Prophet Moham- med, who were murdered by an usurping Caliph. Turkish police, arriving on the | scene after the barbaric moonlight orgy was over, arrested some hyn- dred of the self-wounded, bleeding participants, while a thousand Per- sians packed in the courtyard rent i the night with their wails-and sobs of “Hussein! Hassan!" A black robed, black gloved Per- sian priest, mopping his eyes with | a huge black handkerchief, worked himself into a frenzy while he wail- ed over and over the story of the ancient murder in all its gruesome details, telling' of how the young . ' Hassan was poisoned by his own ! - treacherous wife, an accomplice of . the villainous Caliph, and of how Hussein, wandering half dead with thirst in the desert of Damascus, was found by the usurper’s men and hehecaded. ol Though both Persians and Turks are Moslems, the Persians belong to the Shiite sect, which refused to recognize the line of Caliphs found- cd by the usurper. Since the seventeenth century all Turks have been Sunnites. Nowa- days some 10,000 Persian Shiites reside in Tuvrkey peacefully, and ' the only opposition by the Turkish government {s its attempt to put a stop to the annual flagellations of its Persian guests. | EX-CHAMPION HELD | Avid Palitz To Face Court For Fight “Connecticut’s Best “Connecticut’s Best Furniture Store” Furniture Store” .
