TURKEY RECALLS MEHMED All BEY Minister At Washington Receives
 the Official Notice TEMPORARY CHARGE NAMED Consul General of Turkey at New York Is Placed Temporarily In Charge
 of Legation In the Ma
 tion's Capital.
TEMPORARY CHARGE NAMED

Washington, August 11.-Mehmed Ali Bey, the Turkish minister to the United States, today admitted that he had re- ceived advices from his government re- calling him from his post here. His recall did not come as great surprise to the minister as it, in view of the changed conditions in Turkey, was to be expected. Rumors have been rife to the effect that the minister would night that positive statement regard ing the matter was made, and this came in a cable dispatch to the Asso- ciated Press from London. Mehmed All Bey is sorry to leave the United States, because he says he likes this country, but as he has pointed out heretofore his recall is after all comparativel small matter.
 Mundji Bey, consul general of Turkey at New York, has been appointed charge d'affairs here pending the ar rival of new minister from Turkey. and Is expected to arrive here tomor row.
 It is significant that the recall of Mehmed Ali Bey and the appointment of Mundji Bey as charge d'affairs fol- low closely upon the heels of an at- tack made upon Izzet Pasha, father of the retiring minister, by the latter. Mehmed Bey today authorized the Asso- ciated Press to make a general denial Of those charges. laying particular stress upon the accusation that he was involved in the Armenian massacres.
 'Izzet Pasha was not the instigator of the Armenian massacres," he said through his interpreter, "and could not have been, for at the time of those massacres he occupied no political posi- ton, being president of the Commer- .icial Tribunal, an organization which included in its membership both Euro peans and Turks. When Izzet Pasha resigned that position after six years in the counsel of the Sultan his re- tirement was hailed with regret by the members of the tribunal. If he had been grafter,' as has been charged he would not have been held in such high esteem"

WILL BE MARRIED
In COUNTY JAIL
Young Man will Marry The
Girl He WroDged.
Marriage is Delayed Because the
Girl Has not Reached the
Age of Sixteen Years

A marriage ceremony will probably
be performed at the county jail Mon
day morning. The principals will be
Clifford Lewis, of Columbus, who is
in Jail on paternity charge and
Miss Mary Diehl, who caused his ar
rest.
Lewis had been employed in CO.
lumbus. Mary Diehl, aged Is years,
went there to attend the state fair ana
while she remained in Columbus
she lived with Lewis at rooming
house. The girl refused to file a
more serious charge against Lewis
who was arrested In Columbus. He
pleaded guilty in the court of a loc-
al justice of the peace and was bound
over to the grand jury under $500
bond. Lewis and the girl want to
be married, but as the girl will not
be sixteen years of age until tomor-
row they have not been able to be
married.
If Lewis marries the girl, it is
hardly probable that the authorities
will prosecute the charge against him.
II is feared, however, that he Will
marry the girl merely to escape the
more serious charge ana then will
abandon her.
The case of the girl is pathetic
Her mother died recently and her
father drove her from home when he
