Turkey in this first step toward con

The first Turkish Parliament was assembled over thirty years ago. but
Us existence was brief and It was dissolved before any definite results were
accomplished.
The Sultan opened Parliament In person with elaborate ceremony, fashioned after the customs of older similar assemblies. The new Legislature
met In the same chamber where the
short-lived Parliament of 1ST6 assembled a moderate-sized hall In a build Ing facing the square of St. Sofia. The scene was perhaps one of the most remarkable In the political history of the world. All the creeds and races of the Turkish empire sent their duly elected representatives, and the varied costumes of the delegates, some in flowing silk robes and others In the fashionable frock coaL formed a gorgeous and multi-colored picture never before witnessed In a legislative gathering In Europe. Albanians, Syrians and Arabs were among the moslem representatives, while Greeks, Armenians and Bulgarians represented the Christian nationalities. Members from Jerusalem and Mecca rubbed shoulders with thir colleagues from the European provinces and the faroff Kurdish. Armenian and Arab districts of the confines of the Indian

Manhattan, Mont.. Special: A tale as strange and fascinating as the climax of her career was tragical Is the life stury of Ingoborgo Wokan, formerly of Eau Chtiro, Wis., who died
at Manhattan after posing for over
half a century as a man.
As Sam Williams she lived nonrly
a score of years among the rough men
of the frontier and plains without de
tection. Not only that but she proved
a good "mixer" the same as she did for years among the lumberjacks of
Eau Claire. She was a principal In
more than one drinking bout, though i she generally used liquor more moderately than her companions. Disappointment in a love affair is what relatives of the dead woman assert drove her to the strange life she led (or over half a century. Sam Williams or rather Ingeborge Wekan, was born In Hallingdal, Norway, nearly eighty years ago. On a neighboring farm lived Sven Norem, who was of the same age, and as they grew up they fell lu love and were betrothed. When she was 20 years of age hor parents moved to America and settled near Watikon. Allamakee county, la. The lover and his parents also came over aud all seemed to go well until the wedding day was set. Norem's parents objected to tho match, declaring that the girl's parents were of a lower station In life. The match was then broken off, and Ingeborge, dressed in male attire, went to Eau Claire, and took up the life of tho rolsterous lumberjacks. Never did her parents know what had become of their daughter. Under the name of Billy Williams she cooked for years In lumber camps for Anderson Brothers and other Eau Claire logging firms and with other lumberjacks spent her leisure hours in Eau Claire. She purchased property, which is now in the heart of the city, but disposed of it before she left.
Onlv ence was she unable to over
come the longing to behold those who were near and dear to her. That was after she had spent about ten years
here and suspicions were beginning to gain ground that there was something mysterious about Billy and that she might be a woman. Dressed as a tramp. Billy went from Eau Claire
to the old home near Waukon, la..
and without her Identity being known
she called at her old home as a beg
gar. From there she went to the home
of her old lover. Sven Norem, wno nan
married another woman by this time
and settled down. Here she was given
some food.
Billy returned to Eau Claire and
took up her old vocation of cook and gained such a reputation that she was known as Billy Cook despite the fact
that 6he had said her name was Billy
Williams. She received higher wages than other cooks, because she did her
work so much better, and conseqtient-
v made money. Whenever she came
to town she attended the dances, went out with the girls, drank, and in every
wav acted like her male companions. She was short and stout. She spoke three or four languages fluently.
