A caucus of senators and deputies de
cided today to make an effort to com

capable ruling that his supremacy is
harmful to the church contrary to
sacred law and unjust to the Turkish
people The Sultan is to be offered
the palace and a liberal allowance
This program is to be discussed at
a public meeting Then it must be
carried out by Sheia Ul Islam who
lives a secluded life of semiholy
character It is feared he may ob

who probably would be his successor
He has been practically a prisoner for
