Constantinople, Nov. 17. —Moham-
med VI, the Turkish Sultan, has fled
from jContastntinople on a British
warship bound for Malta.
Upon embarking the Sultan empha
sized that he was not abdicating but
merei y removing himself from imme
diate danger.
Th e Sultan had bene greatly exer
cised ier his status since the action
of the Turkish Nationalist assembly
at Angola early this month voting to
deprive him of his civil authority and
declaring the caliph or religious head
of Islam l would hereafter be selected
from the imperial house by vote of
the grnad national assembly.
I* the face of the filtration of Na
tionalist lyiiiltary elements into Con-'
stantinople and the knowledge that
the Angora authorities would eventu
ally be in full control in the Turkish
capital, the Sultan and his advisers
have been frankly at sea as to the
proper course for him to pursue. The
bulk of his guard went over to the
Nationalists and Constantinople dis
patches have pictured him virtually at
the mercy of the Kemalists, should
they decide to make a' decent in force
on his palace.
The Sultan wrote to Lieutenant
General Harington, the British com
' ipander-in-chief, on Wednesday even
ing, Stating he considered his life to
be ;in danger and would like British
protection.

She Smiled and They Could
iNot Give Death Penalty.
(By Associated Press.)
Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 17.—Mrs.
Clara Phillips was saved from the
gallows by her smiles.
The men members of the jury
which found her guilty of second de
gree murder for beating Mrs. Alberta
Tremaine Meadows to death wert
quoted today as admitting that had

she probably would have been con

thus making death the only penalty.
They said that Mrs. Phillips seem
ed to study them, one at a time, and
to flash frequent smiles at them.
The women jurors were not affected
by it, it was stated, as all three fav
ored a verdict which would have sent
Mrs. Phillips to the gallows.
The defense planned to ask anew
trial Monday, the time set for pass
ing -sentence, which may be a period
of years from ten. to life.
One newspaper reporter reported
Mrs. Phillips as saying:
“I don’t know whether I killed Al
berta Meadows or not, but if I did it
was for mother love, for. Armour
Phillips, my husband, is my only ba
by, and when I realized she was tak
ing him from me, I fought and fought

LONDON PLEASED
AS TO RESULTS OF
ELECTIONS HELD
NEWSPAPER COMMENT SEEMS
THAT OUTCOME SATISFIED
i LARGE MAJORITY.
(By Associated Press.)-
London, . .ov. 17. —Gratification is
expressed by most of the morning
newspapers as the result of the par
limentary elections. This 'a s of
course to be expected from the con
servative press, in view of the re
tention Of t h e conservative majority,
but some of the liberal newspapers
also find certain ground s for satis
faction .
They recognize that the outc
means a return to party government
and the disappearance of all t
most dislike in the survival of the
coalition long after they regarded its
dissolution a s due.
“We are rid,” says the Westmiin
ister Gazette, “of the compromises
and subterfuges which are madefq
and subterfuge s which hav e made
parliment contemptible.” while the
Daily News declares the election
“has blown a breath of clean air into
our discredited parliamentadyy insti
tutions,” and rejoices at the esbab
' lishment of a strong effective and
able opposition.”
Tli e Daily Herald, exulting over
labor’s successes, anticipates anoth
er election within eighteen months,
and says:
’‘ln the meantime we play our
cards boldly and snillfully we ought
to have a labor government without
doubt.”
The Times regards the resulth with
deep satisfaction and says it demol
ishes the last argument for main
tenance of th e coalition. The news
paper would have Preferred that the
balance be held more evenly between
the liberals and laborites, but be
lieves the country ha s nothing to
fear and much mor e t° gain from
ventilation of the labor party’s Ideas
in parliament.
Several of the newspapers derive
satisfaction from the fact that the
convervative majority is not over
whelmingly large, thus enabling, the
opposition to exercise a wholesome
check upon the Predominant Party.
The size of tli fi conservative ma
jority fs seriously disputed by the
PaPiers, th|eir figqfres ranging from
eighty to eighty-seven a nd until all
the returns ar e complete. thi s diver
gence will continue-
For the first D m e in th e history of
the Brjtish parliament a candidate
standing as a-n avowed commnist was
elected when J. W. Newbold was re
turned for the Motherwell division of
Lanarkshire.
Another lsolater new member is
E. Scrymgeour, prohibitionist, who
with the laborite, E. D. Morel, de
feated Winston Spencer Churchill
and three other candidates In Dun
dee, a two-seat constiuency.
The largest v °t e for a woman can
didate was cast In Northampton
where the not-ed labor leader, Miss
Marguerite Bondfield polled more
tlhan 14,009 votes. Lady Cooper,
running on th e conservative ticket,
also received over 14,000 and came
near defeating her liberal opponent
in Wallsall. On e of the two reelest
ed women members, Viscountess As
tor polled 13,000 votes and Mrs. Mar
guerite Wintringham about 11,000.
whil e "’omen candidates in three
constituents received more than 9,-
000 each, and many of the others
from six to seven thousand.

MOTON PARTY IS
COMING HERE ON
THANKSGIVING
LOCAL COMMITTEE WAS SO AD
VISED BY DISTINGUISHED
COLORED EDUCATOR.
The committee having in charge
the coming visit of the Monton party
to Brunswick has received definite as
surance that the party will arrive
here Thanksgiving day, November
30th, at 11:55 a. m., from Savannah,
and will depart at 4:50 p. m. for Way
cross.
This aarangemnet brings the party
here a day later than at first expect
ed, but does not lessen the time al
lotted to Brunswick in the original
program which had to be revised on
account of some cities not making
good the requirements in the time
designated and other cities having to
be substituted. Brunswick’s place on
the itinerary was never in doubt.
Within ten days after receipt of no
tice that Brunswick was on the tenta
tive list, this city’s quota of the trans
portation money was in the hands of
the treasurer of the fund.
Several committees have been ap
pointed and all arrangements are
practically completed exepet that of
entertaining the members of the par
ty. There will be about thirty in the
party, and while the plans for enter
tainment are not extravagant the
committee is greatly in need of funds
for this purpose. They have sufficient
funds for advertising, which will be
thoroughly done in Glynn, Mclntosh,
and Camden counties, and possibly
enough to build a speakers’ stand.
The few who have had this matter
in charge have worked hard to bring
th e Monton party here for the benefit
of .the masses of the colored people
and the good of the whole communi
ty and they should not be expected to
finance any .possible deficit after the
party has come or gone. Those who
can give any financial assistance,
1 however small, will be promptly wait
-led on if you will call W. 11. Clark,
i phone 779, or C. A. Clark, phone 525.
! After the meeting of the general
committee next Wednesday night full
details and program will be given to
the public through the columns of

PRICE FIVE CENTS
TRADE BOARD IN
DRIVE GREETED BY
MANY GLAD RANDS
Brunswick Citizens Show Their
Appreciation of Their Fine
Organization.
WORKERS SAY TASK HAS
BEEN PLEASANT ONE
It is Believed That the Weeks
Work Will Wind Up the Drive,
General Meeting Drive Teams
to Occur Monday Night.
If there was any doubt in the minds
of any Brunswick citizens as to the
popularity of the Board of Trade and
the full appreciation of the work it
has been doing and promises to do,
it will certainly be dispelled by the
way with which the Board of Trade
drive for membership has been reveiv
ed on the part of Brunswick business
and professional men, practically
without exception.
The members of the various socicit
ing commiteees state that this has
been by all means the easiest drive
to put over that the Board of Trade
has ever engaged in. This fact is
accounted for on account of the gen
elar knowledge on th e part of all
citizens of Brunswick as to the work
that has been done by tlii s commerc
ial organization and the fight that
it has waged constantly a nd consist
ently for recognition of Brunswick's
advantages throughout Georgia and
the world.
One of the most pleasant features
of the campaign h a s been the com
paratively large number of brand new
members who are coming in to help
Brunswick through their membership
fees, personal work and influence.
General Chairman J. P. Davenport
is frank to state that there is a job
for every one hundred p-r cent
Brunswiekian in the Board of Trade
and h e is eepecially anxious that the
personal touch of the members be
felt in the general activities of the
organization. The officers and direc
tors of the Board of Trade hav e al
ways stated that dues ar e not the
only thing needed in making a suc
cessful commercial orginazition, but
that Constant co-operation of the en
tire membership in every legitimate
enterprise initiated by the trade body
is absolutely necessary for the suc
cessful conduct of its business.
There will b e no active solicitation
on the part of the various teams to
day, hut there will be some work
done Monday on those who have not
been seen. Monday evening the
board of directors and all of the
membership drive teams will meet
the general chairman at the Board
°f Tradp rooms to consolidate all re
turns, reassign prospects, canvass th e
Previoffk prospect cards for any ma
terial that might b e a v a lable by
further solicitation and lay plans for
