ten days ago a formal and exceedingly
brief notification from the Turkish min
lister that he was about to proceed di-
rect to Constantinople.
State department officials deny that
anything but the most cordial relations
exist between the representatives of the
tive countries, but this denial is natural

tapha Bey in leaving this country omit
ted all the courtesies usual under such
circumstances. His last visit to the
state department occurred about the
middle Of June. The state department
has not been informed as TO the success

of the United States circuit CO.. - Tues
day declined to enjoin Samuel e Ierch-
eval United States mashal, as peti-
toned for by Charles 7. Taylor. a Dem
ocratic deputy. Taylor asked the court
to restrain the marshal on the ground
that he (Taylor) is in the classified
list of civil service. The court holds
that he has no jurisdiction. In the
opinion of the court the tenure of office
OF the complainant terminates with the
expiration of the official term of the

he was appointed. This view, the court
says, accords with that held by the

was not remarkable. 1t is true that an
other witness swore to seeing Mrs. Luet-
CERT alive after the date she is said TO
have been murdered, but the alfbis have
become so common that they attract
little attention from the audience, al
though the counsel for the defense nat
urally think them highly important. A

State Makes Fast Time.

Fast time was made in the eXamina-
tion Of witnesses Tuesday. Six were on
the stand before DR.. Reise was called
and so quickly did the state dispose Of
them in the cross-eXamination that il
looked for a time as though the defense
would run short Of witnesses again.
The big crowd that had gathered with
the hope Of seeing Luetgert take the
witness stand thought sure he would
be called upon then, but after a long
cosultation. Attorneys Vincent and
Phalen decided to plunge into the ex-
pert testimony. The failure of the de-
fense TO allow Luetgert TO testify dis
appointed the throng that had gathered
for the express purpose Of hearing what
the prisoner himself would say about
the array Of evidence the state has
piled up against him.
NO Luetgert will net testify today"
said Attorney Vincent when he first
came into the courtroom. Just when
he will go on the stand is not yet set
tied, but you may say definitely that he
will not do so today"

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The real troubles

When the defense put on the first Of its

BISHOP TO BE ELECTED.
The Episcopal Diocese Of Central Pennsyl-

The untimely and much deplored
death Of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Rulison
leaves vacant one of the most impor-
tant dioceses in the American Eplsco-
pal church, and the question as to
who is to be his successor is vital
one to many thousands of good peo'
pie not only in Pennsylvania but
wherever the good influence of Bishop
Rulison made his Office known and
loved. The standing committee, to
which the affairs of the diocese are
entrusted when there is no bishop,
have held meeting at which they
determined to call special conven-
tion of the clergy and laity at South
Bethlehem early in November, to
elect a bishop tor the diocese, with
the distinct understanding that in one
year, that is after the consent of the
general convention, which is to meet
next autumn, the area will be divided
into two dioceses. The salary of the
next bishop will be fixed at such a
figure that there will be reserve In
the diocese funds to meet the salary
of the bishop OF the newly created
diocese.
