RULED BY OUTLAWS.
Kentucky Gang of Cut Throats Sub-
scribe to an Awful Oath.


In the heart of the Cumberland and
Stone mountains in Knott and Letcher
counties. Kentucky, one of the most pec:I-
liar oath-bound societies known to Amc-
lean history has its existence. No rail
roads penetrate this region and isnor-

The leader of the outlaw band. or of
the Ku-KluN as it is known. Is Morgan
REYNOLDS. former soldier of the Span
ish war and an ex-school teacher. The
band was organized two and one-half
years ago. As originally planned. the
purpose of the organization was, in 4
sense, good one. the intention being TO
drive out of the country such people rs
deserved but did not receive the penal
ties of the law for evil-doing. There is
always an appreciable amount of lawless-
hess in the Kentucky mountains that the
authorities are either pOwerless or IN
willing TO reach, and it WAS to eradicate
this that the Ku-Klux leaders originally
declared they had devoted themselves.
But their purpose. if it was ever 4 sin
cere one. never bore fruit that aided in
the well-being of the community. To-
day the two counties are in hopeless
state of anarchy and crime is rampant ON
every hand. The ordinary laws are dis
regarded and the Ku-Klux rules with 4
rod of despotism. The members of the
organization are bound by an awful

Great Loss of Life by Volcanic Erup-
tion in Guatemala.

Astonishing revelations of great loss of
life and property. caused by the erup-
ton of the Santa Maria volcano, are he
ing made daily. says q cablegram from
Guatemala City. transmitted by way of
San Salvador Eruptions continue. Many
hundreds of human beings perished and
the destruction of property is considered
greater than that in the island of Martin
ique by the eruptions of Mont Pelec All
of the estates in the neighborhood of the
volcano are buried under ashes, which
reach 10 the tops of houses.
The richest coffee estates are ruined
The principal losers are the large coffee
planters. mostly United States citizens
and Germans. Two or three new cratcrs
have been formed on the side of the vol
cano. There We're no eruptions from
the summit -Pumice and ashes were car
ried chiefly in the southern and western
directions The sea has a coating of vol
canic material extending for many miles.
The loss of the coffee crop. which is
Guatemala's principal export, has demor-
allied commerce and the government
finances generally. National paper cur
rency. which is the only circulating me-
dium. has fallen to I cents gold for one
paper dollar. Prices for all necessaries
have risen to prohibitive figure for
many persons.
