Today -100: May 5, 1923: How do you abolish a relic?

The new Lausanne Conference continues. Britain proposes that no foreigners be arrested in much of Turkey or their homes searched without permission of a non-Turkish judge.

The NY Legislature repeals the state law for enforcing the 18th Amendment. Prohibition enforcement in the state will now be entirely up to the feds. That’s if Gov. Al Smith signs the bill; he plans to hold hearings and pretend that he hasn’t already decided to sign it.

The NY Assembly passes Jimmy Walker’s bill to require the KKK and other non-incorporated groups to file membership lists with the secretary of state.

The All-Russian Church Council names Father Vedensky, the man who shepherded the unfrockification of Patriarch Tikhon, archbishop. It also abolishes relics, says bishops can get married now but clergy aren’t actually required to marry.

There’s a boycott of sugar because of high prices.
