and Chastise Ten Of the Resi-

County Judge 10 Warned That His
Immunity From Similar Punish
ment Depended Upon Friend
ship He Was Expected to
Show Tobacco Grow
ers' Organization.

Bddyville, Ky.--Night riders 30C
strong visited Eddyyile at ! O'Clock
Sunday morning and whipped ten
men, four OF them white and six NO
groes. The white men, who are suf
fering from sore backs as the result
OF severe chastisement with
switches, are: Police Judge C. W.
Rucker. Lesel Woods. former city
marshal; Press Fralick, who occasion.
ally acted as deputy city marshal, and
Grace Robertson. saloon porter.
The connection between the whip
ping OF the white men and the ne
groes and the tobacco war In western
Kentucky Is not apparent and no one
has been able to offer any explanation.
None OF the victims was known to be
either active or influential In opposi-
tion to the farmers pooling move
ment No attempt was made at de-
stroying stored tobacco.
After the whipping had been admin
istered the mob awakened County
Judge w. l.. Crumbaugh and warned
him that his immunity from similar
punishment hereafter depended en-
tirely upon the friendship he was ex-
pected TO show the, tobacco growers
organization. He was told that his
gray hairs alone were responsible for
his being spared this time. The only
tobacco man visited was j. M. Brad
shaw, who Is a tobacco prizer for one
of the growers associations. Mr..
Bradshaw was ordered to close up
billiard hall which he owns.

| ARMEN|ANS PROTEST AGAINST
SULTAN'S WAR[EE PLANS
Much Excitement in Armenia as Re-
suit of Turkish Reserve Forces Be-
ing Ordered to the Frontier.

Tifis.-Reports have been received
here from Armenia that all the Re-
iias, or Turkish army reserve forces,
In Van, Mush and other vfllayets Of
Asia Minor have been called to the
colors and are departing rapidly for
the frontier At the same time a
league of the Turkish revolutionary
party is increasing the revolutionary
agitation.
Appeals and proclamations are be-
Ing issued exhorting the population to.
protest in every way possible against
the warlike plans of the sultan. The.
league holds that war would be espe-
cially disastrous at this time, as there
is famine in Asia Minor.
At Tifis the apprehension of hostil-
tiles has not abated The Russian
military authorities have ordered that.
all horses in the Caucasus available
for military purposes be registered.
The doctors of Tifiis held a meeting
recently and volunteered their ser-
vices In case OF war.
The concentration Of Turkish re-
serves on the Persian and Russian
frontiers in Asia Minor, II in progress,
is an outcome of the border difficulty
with Persia. Recently Turkish troops
crossed the Persian frontier to the
vicinity Of Urumiah and committed
depredations. To this Russia, under
her treaty obligations to Persia, OBJ
jected and began the concentration Of
a strong force on the frontier Of the
Caucasus. This show of military ac-
tivity was though to have been sufi-
Gent to put stop to the Turkish ag-
gression, and the Russian movement
was said to have been discontinued.
If the reports from Armenia are
true, the difficulty in Asia Minor,
which is closely connected with the
railroad aspirations of the powers in
the Balkans, may assume serious i'm
port.

Says Standard Oil Company Can A.
ford to Pay Fine.

Washington.-Mr Rainey, of ILL
nois, speaking on his bill placing on
the free list petroleum, rude and re-
fined, said:
THE real and effective method Of
limiting the power of the Standard
Oil company, is to remove the tariff
OF fifteen cents gallon on petroleum.
Do that" he said, and admit Russian
oil free, and you will have struck a
blow at the Standard Oil organiza-
tion."
He charged that whenever a par
ticularly nefarious trust was threat
ened with some injury it rushed for
protection to the Republican party. So
long as the present schedule on oil
remained, Mr.. Rainey asserted, the
Standard OIL company could afford to
pay the $29 100000 fine.
