Fatal Quarrel Over Fox Hunting.

A fatal shooting ARRAY occurred yester-
day morning near the home of Lester Ruff
ner, seven miles north OF Luray, Va. Les
ter shot and killed instantly Isaac F. Ruff
ner, his uncle. The tragedy was the out
come of an old grudge between the Ruffner
families. Lester Ruffner in company with
Peter Abbott, Wilmer KILLER and a young
man named Keller, was fox hunting on the
Ruffner place. when Isaac Ruffner and his
son, David Ruffner, came upon the scene.
it is said, and wanted to join their dogs in
the chase. To this, it is alleged, Lester
Ruffner objected, and at the same time or
dered his uncle and his son off the prem
ises. Seeing Isaac Ruffner in the act of
shooting, Lester Ruffner pulled the trig-
ger, the entire load of shot taking effect
in Isaac's body, killing him instantly. Les
ter says he then shot at David, though he
does not think he hit him. Not knowing
Isaac was dead, the man who did the shoot
ing crawled behind a log, saying he ex-
pected to be riddled with shot. The dead
man was about fifty years old and leaves
a widow and seven children. The man who
did the shooting is not more than twenty
seven years old, and has a wife and two
children His wife is a daughter Of Noah
Fox, who was murdered at the distillery of
John d. Ruffner, father of Lester Ruffner,
about two years ago.

THE GFARY MURDER CASE.
DR.. Mcleod, Accused of Disnembering
Girls Body. on Trial.

The trial of DR. Percy D. Mcleod, one of
the persons under Indictment as accessory
/. after the fact to the performance of a
criminal operation upon Susanna A. Geary,
the victim of the so-called suit case tragedy
was begun yesterday in Boston. After Nc
Leod had pleaded not guilty a jury was
quickly chosen, and first listened to the
testimony of Medical Examiner Francis A.
Harris. DR.. Harris stated that the imme-
date cause of death was peritonitis. Nor
ris Nathan, the girls lover. admitted on
the stand his responsibility for the girls
condition.
The interest in the trial, however CEN
tered in the testimony of Crawford. He
stated that he was regular visitor at
the office of Mrs. DIR. Jane Bishop, where
1t is claimed, the alleged Illegal operation
on the Geary girl was performed, and that
he had seen DIR. Mcleod at the Office once
or twice a week for the past four years.
He claimed that he had nothing whatever
to do with the operation upon the girl, but
that it was performed by Mrs. Mary Dean,
for whom the local authorities are search
ing.
He said that the day before Miss Geary
died In the Roxbury house where she was
taken, DR.. Mcleod and Mrs. Dean agreed
that death was only a question of few
hours and that the body must be disposed
of in some manner. DR.. Mcleod, Craw-
ford testified, suggested dismembering. AT
DR.. MeLeods direction Crawford said he
purchased the suit cases, and on the day
of Miss Geary's death carried them to the
house.
DR.. Mcleod took them upstairs and re-
appeared in about half an hour. Crawford
also testified that Mcleod told him and
Howard that he (McLeod) had placed the
trunk in the larger case. the limbs In the
smaller and the head In the small bag.
Crawford and Howard then took the bag
and cases and that night threw them into
the harbor. Crawford said that he received
s115 from persons in the Bishop Office He
met DIR. Mcleod the next day. and the lat
ter said, the witness claimed. that he tMc-
Leod) failed to remove the girls rings, but
thought 1t would be all right

Written FOR The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
The trouble In Turkey arises from the re-
flsal of the sultan to fulfil his promises
made to the European powers concerning
reforms in Macedonia. Abdul Hamid is al
ways willing to make a promise, but he
will never fulfill it unless he is compelled
10 do so. Ever since December, 1902, when
he accepted a scheme for the improvement
of the administration of affairs in Mace
donia and other provinces Of Turkey in
Europe. he has stubbornly refused to carry
its provisions into effect until the powers
have lost their patience and are now in
clined to use force. The trouble in Mace
donna ard elsewhere has been due to the
dishonesty and tyranny of the Turkish Of
fcials and the barbarfty Of the bashi-
bazouks and other soldiers employed 20
enforce their orders and protect them in
their iniquties. Citizens are robbed of
everything they have by the tax collectors,
and if they object or resist the soldiers
murder them, burn their houses, ravish their
wives and daughters. and there is no court
or other power to which they can appeal
for protection.
In 1902 the sultan promised a general re-
organization and reform, and a Christian
has not improved in the slightest. Things
have been worse than ever. The Christian
governor proved to be such only in name,
ana was even more cruel and tyrannical
than his Mohammadan predecessor. In
May, 1903. the powers presented a new plan
of reform. which was very comprehensive
and was intended to prepare the way for

Joint Naval Demonstration.

At last, after two years of deception
duplicity and procrastination, the foreign
representatives have decided to assert
their dignity and compel the sultan to
keep the promises he has made them For
that purpose all of the great European
powers, except Germany, have contributed
battleships and cruisers to form a large
fleet, which will make a demonstration that
should Brighten the sultan, but probably
will not. Germany seems to be co-operat-
ing with the other powers, although her
navy Is not represented. Her ambassador
at ConStantinople, according to press re-
ports, has not only advised but urged the
sultan TO yield and to permit the reforms
which he has again and again approved to
be carried into effect. But up to this
time the sultan has had both sympathy
and support from the kaiser. and he would
not be stubborn II he did not expect
them In the future. Whenever he has been
in q tight place he has granted some valu-
able concession for railroad or other COM
mercial enterprise to a German syndicate
or has placed a big order for arms and
ammunition with the Krupps or some other
German manufacturer In that way the
Germans now control almost all of the
valuable concessions in the Ottoman en-
pire, and for that reason one would think
the kaiser would endeayor to prevent war
and internal troubles and promote the
peace of Turkey in order that the Germans
may find their concessions profitable,
which is not to be expected undess the
people are settled and prosperous. 1t is
the policy of the Turkish government to
keep the people as poor as possible, because
then they submissive When they get
little money ahead they are apt to buy
guns and resist authority But Turkey is
dotted all over with colonies of Germans
who are prosperous, progressive and pro-
tected from the rapacity OF the officials
by the knowledge that their sovereign is the
only friend of the sultan in Europe.

general as his chief of staff. who will re-
port to the grand vzier of the Ottoman en-
pire at Constantinople and be the connect
ing link between the sultan and his prov

however, was to have no authority except
to watch the proceedings of the foreign
officials and make such reports as he thinks
necessary to his master at Constantinopie.

Accepted by the Sultan.

The sultan accepted all this and portion
of The reforms have already been adopted.
But they are comparatively insignificant
and have afforded very little relief to the
people. Germany, Austria and Russia have
detailed the military. civil and judicial Of
ficers required by the reorganization plans
but they have not been allowed to exercise
authority and Macedonia Is still under the
tyranny of the Turkish officials. with bat
talions of bashi-bazouks to enforce their
authority.
Repeated attempts have been made by
the foreign ambassadors at Constantinople
to bring the sultan to reason. According
TO his custom, he always expresses the
greatest astoniShment when told that the
reforms have not been carried out, and
declares that 1t is the fault of his minis
ters and other subordinates, who have
neglected to obey his orders. He promises
that there viii he no further delay and
expresses profound sorrow and mortifica-
tion that any one should suspect him of
insincerity. But nothing happens. The
ambassadors go again and again to the
sublime porte, which IS the headquarters
of the grand viZier, who corresponds to
the prime minister in other countries

TRY CHILD'S PLAY.
Young and Husey, Leaders of House,
Enjoy Themselves.

There is reason to suspect that A. C.
Husey, of Wichita, and p. c. Young of
Wilson, have gone into a combine on
the liquor question. Young is chairman
of the house committee on temperance;
Husey is an earnest advocate of the
Wichita idea" Can oil and water
mix?
Evidently it can. Mr. Husey intro
duced a bill on Wednesday providing
for a state brewery. Todoy Mr.. Young
introduced a bill providing for a state
system of cold storage warehouses, one
in every county seat town in the state.
YounSs bill calls for an appropria-
tion of $11, 500, 900: the creation of 1O5
new jobs at $500 apiece. and 1O5 new
jobs at $4,000 apiece. Every county will
have a branch penitentiary at it's
county seat, erected at a cost of S1O,-
600; also a warehouse and cold storage
plant at a cost of 500. 600 each There
shall be a deputy warden in each coun-
ty at a salary of $500, and a superin-
tendent at a salary Of $1,000. If there
are not enough prisoners in the peni-
tentiary to man all these establish
Ority to go out and contract with other
states for their surplus convicts.
The pay for all this is easily arrang-
ed. The bill simply says that the dep
uty wardens shall draw their warrants
on the state treasury for what money
they need.
OF course the bill has a noble mo-
tive. 1t is intended to do good. The
1.-The purpose of this act are to en-
able the farmers OF this state to obtain
the highest and best prices for their
products and to grapple with what has
become one of the most monstrous
trusts of modern times, which con-
trolls the price of every product raised
upon the lands of this state.''
The superintendent of the plant is
authorized to receive all kinds of sur
plus grain and produce at the ware
house, issue receipts therefor and pass
it out whenever the receipts are pre-
sented to him.
Mr.. Husey's state brewery plan
works with the Young cold storage
proposition in perfect harmony. Husey
proposes to connect a pipe line system
with his state brewery, and carry the
amber fluid to all parts of the state.
It will be piped into the Young cold
storage vatss and distributed free to
all applicants. The cause of temper
ance in Kansas will thus be materially
advanced.
The Standard Oil company will be
greatly distressed to hear of these new
bills.

SULTAN IS BLUFFED.
He Will do What France Demands and
Save a Fuss.

Constantinople, Feb. 9.-The Fran
co-Turkish dispute it is now under
stood, will be compromised, France Sc
curing an order for a share of the new
guns destined for the rearmament of
Turkish artillery Following the Wig
orouS steps taken by ambassador Con-
stans, TWefik Pasha, the foreign min
ister, submitted to the ambassador
fresh proposals whereby the Germans
will find the money to pay the Krupps
the arrears owing by Turkey for pre-
vious armament and for a portion of
the new batteries while part of the
loan to be contracted for by the Otto
man bank will be devoted to purchaS-
ing the remainder of the guns in
France. This together with the set
tIement of the Syrian question, will,
it is believed, be satisfactory to the
French demands.
