The Band of Outlaws Known as Red
Men Again at Their Work.
WHEELING, W. VA, May 2s.-Ritchie
county once more comes to the from. with
one of the most diabolical outrages ever
perpetrated within the borders of this
State. as on other occasions OF this
nature the perpetrators are what are
known as Red Men, that organization of
outlaws which for half dozen years has
flOurished in this State despite the
attempts OF the authorities to stamp
it out. The victims this time are
Mr.. and Mrs. George Keck, who
live on GOss Run, in Richie county. Two
nights ago they were aroused by the
shouts of a mob which had surrounded
their house, and on the door being opened
the Red Men took Keck and bis wife into
the woods near by, roped them to trees
aud beat them IN most brutal
manner with hickory withes. They
then burned the dwelling and its
contents to the ground and departed. After
daylight Keck succeeded In releasing
himself, and after removing his bleeding,
fainting wife to place of safety, swore
out warrants for such OF the mob as he
had been able to recognize, and twelve OF
them have been arrested and placed in
jail. Other arrests will be made.

GREECE DEMOBILIzING.

fed by the Premier.

fed by the Premier.
ATHENS, May 2S.--The allied pow
ers have not withdrawn the blockade
against Greece, and will not with
draw 1t until notified by Greece that
she has demObllized her army. 1t is here
believed unlikely that Premier Trlcoupis
will issue any specific notice TO the powers
OF rehabilitation. He urges that 1t
should be sufficient for them that Greece
has already given evidence OF her will
ingness to demobilize whenever the situa-
ti0n created by the Turks on the frontier
will permit IL to be done with safety. A
deadlock between Greece and the powers
is thought to be imminent on this issue.
Greece has arranged directly with Tur-
key for disarmament without having re-
course TO the powers. The agreement
stipulates for the withdrawal Of both
armies from the frontier and mutual eX-
change OF prisoners. Premier TrcOupis
will not officially inform the powers of
this arrangement with Turkey, and as re-
CARDS continuance OF the blockade, he
now declares that the powers can do what
ever they consider eXpedent.
In the Chamber Of Deputies to-day
Prime Minister TricOupis declared that
the government would enter into no en-
gagements with the powers with view Of
raising the blockade.

e President sent TO the Senate to-day
GNe additional vetoes OF private pension
bills. The reason stated in each veto is
that the disability described arose from
causes wholly apart from military service,
in some cases long before the war and in
others long afterwards.

Mr.. Burdette is hard on 'em. They

zle them sure. Of course tho rum
sellers and their friends are mad at
the turn of affairs in Kanawha
county, and they will say anything
and stoop to anything to injure the
cause of Prohibition or it's workers,
especially those who are prominent
in the work, such as the Rey.
Saml G.. Bettes, who 80 eloquently
plead before tho Council for the
prohibition of the sale of intoxi-
cants in the city, and who was
leading spirit in throttling the
curse in Kanawha. They have at
tackled the mans moral, religious
and public character in shameful
manner; yei he survives and is in
the hearts of the people. Mr..
Bettes will stillbe heard from. He

A Puzzled Politician.
Trying to Make the Business Respect
able.

We clip the following from our
stalwart neighbor over in the land
of purified politics, where they pass
and re-pass the unconstitutional
Pond-Scott- Dow-Tax Law:
Ed. NeW Era:
1 am puzzled and wish to have
the Era give some light.
One year ago l received the Pro-
hibition nomination for Repre-
sentative from this county, and
started out to convince the voters
that the prohibition of the liquor
traffic was the thing needed to pro-
tect the people.
But [ soon learned that l was all
wrong in this that the thing need
ed was taxation, in order to make
the business respectable. The vo-
ters told me 30 on little votes they
put into the ballot boxes.
Well, after thinking over the
matter, l concluded to test this
thing of making the business re-
spectacle, in a practical manner,
as am practical man and al
ways believe in practical things.
So / wrote to number of these
friends who had assured mo that
the need of the county was tax
law, in order to make the saloon
respectable, and stated that as soon
as the tax law was passed 1 was
ready to go into the business, my.
self, as soon as they would find me
a good, respectable town or neigh
borhood where a saloon was want
ed. I also stated that would need
men of good moral character to act
as agents for me, church members
preferred.
Well, would you believe it? The
only response | have received has
been denunciation for proposing to
put a saloon in respectable neigh
borhood, and for asking respecta-
BILE men to become my agents.
Now, I want to know how, even
with tax, the business is to be-
come respectable unless respectable
people engage in it? And would
also like to know whether I was
unreasonable in Offering the peo-
pie just what they voted to secure
"a respectable saloon?
Yours in perplexity,
