One ot tno results or the introduction of western European ideas into the Near East Is tho growing habit of abandon ing tho veil, hitherto nn indispensable article of attire for Turkish wnmon. Many women now appear in the streets wim no veil, or else with one so thin that their fuces are clearly visible. A message from Prir.rend, near Mon astir, recounts how n Turkish womau of good family decided she would join the modernist movement bv discarding her veil.

Ono of her mnlu relatives thercimnn followed her with a revolver, firing shots to frighten her.

L After his refusal Last-Mlnuto Resolution a Kindly Strategy to Put Delegation Right With. Country CLEARS DECKS FOR ACTION AT CHICAGO CONVENTION Original Plans Were Otherwise, but Move Was Made With Best .of Intentions'" By GEORGE NOX McCAIN Ii the brief space of two hours nnd a half yesterday all the well-laid plans of several state leaders and their per Minnl advisers were disorganized and thrown into the scrapheap. The expressive language of State Highway Commissioner Sadler, when de scribing how the Philaljelplila-Trenton highway went to plecosr, is applicable to jesterday's national delegate meet ing plans; they simply "blew up." The denouement was ns great a sur prise to the Governor as it was to some of his friends. He said so frankly offer the uffnir Ayas over. It was a kfndly coup though. It was "ptillfd off" with the best of intentions, n ml it was a mighty fine thing that it was accomplished. It cleared the decks for action at Chicago. As I stated above, it was devised, put into execution and successfully accom plished jestorday within two hours und a half. It wasn't a deliberately plan ned job. It was not designed to make fools of a delegation of representative men, the best elements of the Republi can party In the state. It was in the interests of popular representation. Story of the Coup The btory in brief runs after the fol lowing .manner :. At a inceting-t the Union League on Tuesday night, attended by the Gov ernor, Major Moore, .tosophlt. Grundy, Lewis S. Sadler, Attorney General Schaffer and devcral others, confidants and advi&ers of Governor Sproul, the latter expressed a determination to op pose his indorsement for the presidency by the Pennsylvania delegation to Chi. cago, which met yesterday. The inadvisability of such action was nointcd out to' Governor Suroul. but-ho umainud inflexible. His point of view' was tnai ..tnc delegation was elected with tho undvrstaudiug''that it was un pledged. If there was a desire to in-ilon-c him, it could be done iih well, nnd bcttorIn Chicago. Besides, it would preserve iol!,tke formalities. Tumlpot so sure that the Governor in determining upon this course had In view' the fact that Senator Penrose wus anxious to head 'an uninstructcd delega tion. In a ductile sjtate the delegation could be more easily handled. At all events, IiIr friends yielded to the per sonal desircH of Governor Sproul, though they might appear as carrying political courtesy to tho extreme. It was modesty plus. Motion Was lo Have Been Withdrawn The plon as arranged was for Mr. Grundy to move a formal Indorsement of tho Governor's candidacy. The iut ter was to request nonaqtion, the mo tion was to be withdrawn and the dele gation thus left free without the bouds of u unit rule. Thus far the plan was personal to the Governor.

Dispatches from Washington todny sav it is reported thero the senator will notnttend the convention. Dr. Alfred Stengel, ono of the physicians attending Senator Penrose, was asked this morn ing if the senator would go to Chicago, "I do not know," ho snld. "What is the senator's condition?"
