SERIOUS Crisis IN TURKEY
Grand Vizier Removes Cabinet Min
listers to Frustrate Plot for
Military Dictatorship.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 1.-THE new
government seems to be on the edge Of a
serious crisis as the result of the sudden
removal of Osman Miami Pasha. minister
of war, and ARR Pasha, minister of marine.
who, without public explanation were re-
placed on Wednesday by Nazim Pasha and
Pusni Pasha, respectively. Nazim Pasha
has been commander of the Second army
corps at A~drianople. where he has shown
great talent for organization. Pusnt Pasha
Is a vice admiral.
1t is learned that Kiamil Pasha, the
grand vizier. in discharging the ministers
was actuated by the necessity of frustrat-
ing a coup d'etat which was being ar
ranged by the committee of union and
progress to establish h military dictator
ship under Prince Yussof Izzedin. The af-
fair is the climax of a struggle between the
two rival parties. the committee OF union
and progress and the liberal union. The
committee is strongly opposed TO Kisamil
Pasha, and lie composed largely OF young
officers, including all the officers OF the
Macedonian army, which was largely in
strumental in the success OF the Young
Turks revolution.
The crisis wal further developed tonight
by the resignation OF the president Of the
council. Hafig Fehmy. and the threatened
resignation of the ministers of justice, in
terror and finance.

PORTSMOUTH. Ia. Feb. 12-The coro-
ner's Jury decided that the death OF Will
liam J. Kruger was due to an accidental
fail upon the ice. Kruger left his home,
which is located about -three-quarters OF
a mile northeast of Portsmouth. Ia, about
Z o'clock last evening without saying where
he was going. He was found dead In his
pasture, ono-half mile from home, by his
wife and son who were hunting for him.
at s o'clock. His body was strl warm and
he had not been dead more than fifteen
minutes. He had been subject to ~faintins
spells all his life and the theory is that
he fell in one Of these spells and struck
his head against a cinder, breaking his
nose and bursting the skull along the
%sutures, causing death Immediately. No
reason for his leaving home or for his
being In the pasture can be ascertained.
The wounds are of a suspicious char
acter and the people of this vicinity are
very badly wrought up over the affair
and will undoubtedly demand a further in
vestigation. The deceased was a prosperous
farmer, SO years old, and leaves a wife and
six children. The funeral services will
probably be held Saturday.

TEMPEST RACES IN A TEAPOT
Younkermsn objects 60 Being shelved
as OmcinI Horse Buyer.

That the fact tina the committee on
police and health had advertised in the
papers for a suitable team for the patrol
wagon had aroused the ire of Counci
man Younkerman, chairman Of the com
mittee on fire and light, was made evil
dent at the meeting of the city council
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Younkerman,
who for some years past has acted as
official buyer of horses for the city for
the fire department, declared that in
view Of the fact that Councilman Nc
Millen had seen. fit to advertise for a
team he would wash his hands of the
matter.
Councilman McMillen said that while
Mr.. Younkerman might be the man to
buy horses for the fire department, ne
was going to have something to say
when 1t came to purchasing a team for
the police department. He said he was
chairman of the committee on police,
sewer and health, and when horses had
to be purchased for the police depart
ment it was up to him to buy them and
not the chairman of the fire and light
committee, which had charge of the fire
department.
Ever since / have been in the city
council 1 have bought all the horses for
the city, but If you fellows on the po-
lice and health committee amt to take
a hand, go ahead. It's all right as far
as / am concerned, but l wash my hands
of the whole thing" declared Councilman
Younkerman with considerable warmth.
Major Richmond, chief of police, took
a hand in the discussion and without
mincing his words told the council that
the police department did not need any
cast-off horses from the fire department,
such as he supposed Mr.. Younkerman
considered were good enough for the pa
troll wagon. The patrol team is the
hardest worked of any city team and
we must have good horses" said the
chief.
After more or less Informal discussion
back and forth between the chsirmen Of
the fire committee and the police COM
mittee the matter was finally permitted
to drop.
The request of the Peoples department
store to be permitted TO hang q large
temporary Singh three stories in height
in front of it's store on Broadway was
turned down.
Tn council, after ~disposing of a few
minor matters, adjourned to Monday
evening. February 20.

Aged Man BADLY Frozen.

HUMBOLDT, Ia, Feb. IA-(special)-
Wesley C. Vaughn, one of the aged resi-
dents of this city, who, since the death of
his wife two months ago. has been living
alone on East Fourth street, was found
last night at a late hour lying helpless in
side the hen house. He was removed to the
house and medical examination revealed
the fact that he had suffered a stroke of
paralysis, and his exposure while lying
helpless resulted in one of his feet being
frozen quite badly. Mr.. Vaughn is per-
fectly conscious, but as the stroke affected
his vocal organs he can tell very little of
his fearful experience while in the semi
unconscious state after. the attack. AS
near as can be learned the stroke came
about 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, while
the old gentleman was looking after the
poultry, and he fell to the floor of the
hen house, where he lay in exactly the
same position, able to move only one hand
and one foot, for a period of thirty hours,
during the exceeding cold night following
the last blizzard.

Telegram .)-That Merko Ferko failed to
receive proper treatment in the Lane
Bradbury hospital at Cody following u
premature explosion at the Shoshoni dam
September "a, 1907, when he was badly
injured was the statement of witnesses
in the trial today in the district court
here, in the $3.50 damage suit brought
by the young Austrian against two we'll
known Cody physicians, Martin Ferko,
a cousin of the plaintiff, testified he
visited the Lane-Bradbury hospital six
days after the accident and the same
~bandages were on the left leg of the in
Jured man that had been placed there by
DR.. Bradbury closely following the .ex-
plosion. The broken leg had not been
set in the meantime, according to wit
ness. Later he called at the hospital
again October 10, ten days after the first
visit. finding the same condition Of at
fairs. He said DR.. Bradbury then told
the witness the injured leg would have
to be %amputated. The following day
Merko Ferko was received into another
hospital in Cody. Subsequently both the
leg and left arm were amputated.
Other witnesses for the plaintiff today
were william Clark and Fred thinner
man, forman of the Shoshoni dam con-
struction, and Carl Buckingham. a fire
man employed there at the time of the
explosion. They testified DR.. Bradbury
did not set Ferko's broken leg when the
MUSICIAN responded to the summons for
his presence at the scene of the accident,
eight miles from Cody.
Counsel for the plaintiff seek to show
that the doctors in charge of the hospital
permitted Ferko to lay at that institu-
ton two weeks without setting his leg.
resulting in a bad case of blood poison
ing which neeessitated amputation in or
