REIGN OF TERROR WILL BE HARDING!
Greece Shuts Herself Up With
Strict Censorship.
Prince Andrew Safe, But Others
Are Under Arrest.

London, Dec. MANY rumors, one
of them that a reign of terror has
developed in Athens, were circulated
today following the action of the
Greek revolutionary committee in
establishing a strict censorship in the
Greek capital.
General Plastiras, leader of the
revolutionary committee, was said to
be dominating the situation. The only
news that has come thru was an Of
ficial staten ent, issued by the Greek
committee stating that Gen erat Deus
4naHis. former chief of staff, and Cen
eral Valeftas had been arrested and
that a warrant had been issued for
General Papoulas. former commander
in-chief of the Greeks in Asia Minor.
The statement revealed that Prince
Andrew, brother of Constantine, is still
safe and has not yet been arraigned
before military tribunal. His trial
will begin next week, probably Mon
day.
King Can't Abdicate
King George, of Greece, attempted
to abdicate the throne when he
learned that he could not save the six
former state and military officials
executed on Tuesday, but was re-
strained by members of the revolu-
tionary committee. Since then the
Athens palace has been under guard
by gendarmes and all persons enter
ing and departing. had to show coun-
tersigned permits.
In view of the widespread protests
thruout Europe, it is possible the
Greek revolutionary committee will be
content to impose long prison terms
and DEGREES of Punishment upon future
prisoners instead of death sentences.
However, this belief is not universal.
Greek revolutionary officials are be-
coming enraEed, not only at the for
mer functionaries of the old Constan-
tine regimeg whom they term traitors
guilty of mad acts of treason" but at
the attempt of foreign powers to in
terfere.

Marines, Who Went Away With
Lumps of Salt, Say Birds Are as
Scarce in Canary Islands as
Snakes Are in Ireland.

Gibraltar. Dec. 1.-Canaries are
scarcer than hens teeth in the Canary
Islands, according to the United States
marines of the cruiser Pittsburgh. who
arrived here after a visit to Las Pal
mas, the principal seaport of those is
lands.
The marines expected to find
canaries hopping all over the islands,
waiting for salt to be sprinkled on
their tails. DiSillusionment came with
their first visit ashore.
The islands got their name from
CAMS, the Latin name for dog. and the
marines say there are fewer canaries
in the Canaries than there are snakes
in Ireland.
Relatives and sweethearts of the
sea soldiers who were promised a
shipment of feathered songsters at an
early date will now have to wait until
the marines have an opportunity to
visit a bird store in the United States.
Any marine on the Pittsburgh is
ready to sell a canary cage for a song.

Parole Permits Continuance of His In
terrupted Honeymoon
Leavenworth, kan. Dec. 1.-Elmer
Inman formerly chauffeur to ex-
Warden ]. X. Codding of Kansas state
prison at Lansing. resumed his inter-
rupted honeymoon with his wife,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Codding.
when he was released from the prison
Sunday or a parole granted by Gov
ernor Allen, it was learned today.
When questioned as to where Mr..
and Mrs. Inman would make their
home, Warden NJ. +. Amrine said he
understood Inman intended to go west.
Inman and Miss Lavona Codding
were married at Holdenville, Okla.
August rs, 1921. After the return of
Inman to prison following temporary
release, Judge w c. Smith, executive
clerk to Governor Allen, gave out a
statement in which he asserted the
marriage was illegal
Inman was convicted at Arkansas
City on a charge of robbing Jewelry
store in which he was employed.
The marriage status of Elmer In
man still is in doubt, Judge w c.
Smith, executive clerk of Gov. H. j.
Allen, said today.
Some lawyers are of the opinion
that the marriage should be consid-
cred legal under a provision passed
by the legislature three years ago, en-
prison to enter into a civic contract.
This however, strictly contrued per-
tains only to property rights and
would not include a marriage contract
So there also is the opinion that the
was not legally binding
