Couple Arrested-Black
Produces Certificate.

Chief of Police Haynes announced
yesterday that he will swear out
warrants this morning against Mrs.
Pearl Pike, a white woman, and
Dick white. a negro, who were
married in the office of County Judge
Wells on Saturday afternoon. The
warrant will be issued under the
Kentucky statute which prohibits
marriage between a negro and a
white person.

ing for the White negro last night.

ing He is employed as a driver for
the Wick Grocery company.
Last week H. S. Pike, of Mullen

Young before her marriage to him
at Union City, Tenn. The woman
was located by Officer Smith Sunday
with Wilhite at his home. Both were
placed under arrest on a charge of
immoral conduct. When brought to
the station the negro produced his
marriage certificate, showing that he
had been married to the woman on
Saturday afternoon.
Negro Was Released.
Chief Haynes released the negro,
but held the woman pending the ar
rival of her brother from Central
City,, for the purpose of identifying
her The brother arrived last night
and was taken to the workhouse.
At first the woman said she did not
know him, but later acknowledged
he was her brother. Her mother, who
lives at Central City, also telephoned
TO Chief Hoynes in an effort to get
him to induce her daughter to return
home. The woman said that she had

riage license was issued to two ne

Third loan MAY
BE five BILLIONS
Ss,655, 100000 Needed To
Cover War Expenses
By June 80
ISSUE CERTIFICATES
Expected To Collect 81, ,5OO,-
100000 By End Of Fis-
cal Year.

Washington. March 19.-Immi-
nence of Secretary McAdoos an
nouncement of the size and inter
est rate of the third Liberty Loan
to open April gave special impor-
tance to-day to a Treasury announce
ment of Government receipts and ex-
penditures, from which might be
calculated with fair accuracy the sum
the Government would need before
the end of the fiscal year June 80.
Outstanding features of these fig
ures. as unofiicially analyzed were
that war costs are not increasing
from month to month as had been
expected. and that ordinary expenses
and loans to Allies in the next three
and one-third months probably will
not be much over $4,000 100000. To
this must be added the necessary
outlay of about S3,155,0O0.0OO to re-
deem certificates of Indebtedness now
outstanding and maturing before
June 80; $5OO,OO0,0O for a railroad
administration revolving fund; $780,
600 900 for the Government S capital
in the War Finance Corporation
whose creation is expected soon; and
$500. 100000 to provide a current
working balance at the end of the
year. These would make a total of
SS.655. 100000 needed between now
and June 80.
Money Flowing In.
on the other side of the books
might be placed the SS53,OO0,OOO
working balance on hand to-day; $2,-
$4,000. 900 estimated receipts from
income and excess profits taxes and
other internal revenue sources; $75,-
600 900 estimated miscellaneous re-
ceipts: $4S,OOO.OOO estimated GUS
toms receipts; approximately $500
OO0. 900 revenue expected from sale
of War Savings and Thrift Stamps,
and S5O0,OOO,OOO to be received in
the next three days from a current
issue of certificates. These would
make total of nearly $4,000. 900,
OOO which might be expected to flow
into the Treasury between now and
June 80 from other sources than the
Liberty Loan.
On this basis of calculation, the
difference to be provided for would
be between $4,000. 100000 and $5.-
600 900 900. This sum is much less
than had been calculated in the past
as necessary on the basis of estimat-
ed expenditures of Government de-
partments and loans to the Allies.
These figures do not necessarily
disclose the size of the third Liber-
ty Loan, for other elements of finan-
cial mechanics. Judgment of the mon
es market and appraisal of popular
feeling enter into the actual deter
mination. The figures are essential
ly the same, however, as those which
Secretary McAdoo and his advisers
have before them in deciding how
many billions are to be raised in the
big campaign.

 BEEN REPORTED

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2S.- The officials of the Red Cross so- ciety today announced that subscrip- tions that had been reported from Alaska totaled $51,13S. It is thought that not much more than 50 per cent of the subscriptions have as yet been reported. The total allotted Alaska in the big drive was $40,000. and the officials say that it is safe to estimate that the territory will dou. ble this.
 The drive for the $100.OO0,OOO war fund closed the night of May 27. As many of the districts in Alaska have poor facilities for communica- tion. 1t is believed that it will be some days before the exact amount raised in the north will be known The minimum sum that was set as mark for the United States has been largely oversubscribed, accord ing to reports that have been re- ceived.

WOOD IS NOT TO
 BE COMMANDER
 WESTERN DEPT

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28.- The war department has granted the request of Major General Leonard Wood that he be given the command of a department other than the western. In his request the general stated that this department was not as active a duty as he desired. The west departments headquarters are in San Francisco, and the duties of it's commander would be quiet in comparison to those in other parts of the country.
 The announcement of General Woods assignment to the command of the western division was made only yesterday. He was to relieve General Treat, who has been ordered to report for duty in France. It is stated here that General Wood will be assigned the training of another division, in all probability at Camp Funston. It is also said that the general is not to be sent to France, although he but recently returned from an extended tour of the west ern front. The assignment of the command of Camp Funston would be much preferred by General Wood to the command of the western department

TORNAD0ES ARE
 CONTINUING TO
 CAUSE DAMAGE

AMARILLO, Texas, May 28.- High winds and rain storms in the we'll known Panhandle region of this state have been the cause of three deaths and much property damage. This is the first of such storms to be reported in this section. Many cattle were killed in the cyclones, and great number of ranch build ings were destroyed.
 It is reported that large number of people have been injured through. out the district in the storms. A very heavy rain fall followed closely behind the high winds and flooded a great many of the outlying ranches. Numerous families were driven from their homes on account of the flood It is thought entirely probable that more deaths will be reported from the devastated district as soon as complete communication can be re. stored.

FORT HANCOCK. Tex. May 15-- Condemned and discarded railroad ties have been utilized by the American soldiers stationed here to build semi.permanent houses for the headquarters and other buildings of the army camp patrol headquarters. The ties are stood on ends to make the walls of the houses and dis carded railroad rails are used for the rafters. Ties are then laid over these to form the flat roof and a coating of adobe mud spread over these clinked ties to make the roof water tight. The cross-tie houses are more comfortable in winter and sum- mer than tents. The orderly room. the day room, and canteen. and the Quartermaster supply room are all made of these materials, the canteen having brick floor and plastered roof. This lounging room is equip ped with a photograph, library. a barber shop and a soft drink stand for the convenience of the soldiers off duty.

BIG GUNS ARE
 USED TO STOP
 PEASANT RIOTS

MOSCOW. May 2S.-Serious riots have broken out in Ukrainia by the peasants who are opposed to the Germans. In some places the Ger. man troops are using artillery to suppress the rioters.
 This opposition to the German rule is growing stronger among the Ukrainians every day. They are burning the forests and destroying many buildings in their efforts to hinder the Germans from comman. deering the foodstuffs.
 In Poltavia the rioting has taken on such serious aspects that Ger many has been forced to send addi. tional troops there. The peasants in this district have armed themselves with machine guns and in large de- tachments are harassing the German troops. The Huns have brought sev- eral large field pieces to use in the suppression of the rioting.
 The Ukrainians have always re- sented the method which Germany employs in cleaning the country of foodstuffs. The inhabitants claimed that no food nor grain was left for their subsistence. Germany has been an effort to transport every available bit of produce in the coun- try to the German people. This is the cause of the uprising among the Ukrainian peasants. It is said that

 He stated that he thought 1t i'm possible for the allies to ever drive the German army out of Belgium. He said that the retention of the control of Belgium would be a large factor in the German peace plans.

ENGLAND PUTS
 WAR PRISONERS
 TO GOOD LABOR

LONDON, May 28.-It was an. nounced in the house of commons today that there are now 65,0O0 Ger man prisoners of war in Great Britain. The statement was also made that out of these 65,000 men, 42,OOO are being employed in farm ing and other work that is of na. tional importance.
 These prisoners who are working in the fields of Great Britain are re. ceiving better consideration than it has been reported is accorded the allied prisoners in Germany. It has been designated that 10000 more of these prisoners shall be put to work at some useful employment. The product of all these mems labor will go toward the winning of the war by the allies.
 No prisoner is given employment in any factory where he would be given an opportunity to do any harm to it's products. It is estimated that the labor of the Germans will produce a vast quantity of food. These prison CTS are worked in small groups on various farms and are looked after by the overseer of the ground. In some places the land is being titled under government supervision, and the produce raised will go direct to the commissary of the army and navy. Many comments have been made in the past on the manner in which England treated the prisoners of war. It was stated that the treat ment given them was too good and that they should be made to help produce many necessities.
