Was Employed As

CHARGED WITH BEING
SHORT $1,944.82
Says Divorce Made Him Take
Government Funds-Is
Ready for Trial.
By Special Wire to The Tribune.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. IA. H.
Warren, postmaster of Holcomb,
Dunklin county, was arrested here
tonight by Detectives Dempsey and
Griffin and Postoffice Inspector w.
L. kleinwachter on a charge of err
bezzling $1,944.s2 of the postoffice
funds in Holcomb. He is being he'll
here pending his preliminary exami-
nation set for tomorrow morning.
The warrant will be issued Friday.
Warren admitted the shortage to
the detectives and the postoffice in
spector according to their statemcpe,
and declared he was willing to face
his trial. According to Postoffice IN
spector Kleinwaehter the prisoner is
short sI,e26.s6 in his money order
accounts and s17.96 in his postage
accounts.
Warren was arrested at the Mer-
camille Club where he has been eff-
ployed as dishwasher for a week. He
told the police he had come to St.
Louis ten days ago in an effort to
find work and make up the shortage.
According to the officers Warren
blamed his shortage to the payments
of court costs, lawyers fees and
maintenance for his wife from wnom
he had sought to obtain a divorce.
'The trouble / have gotten into,'
he said, "is due to disappointment IL
marriage. I filed suit for divorce
a short time ago, and my wife an
swered the charges in a cross bill.
The sui. was tried but was dismissed
for the lack of evidence in the charg-
es we made"
''The money which l took from the
postoffice was used in paying fee3
in an attempt to obtain a divorce.
needed the money Immediately and
took it from the postoffice safe with
the intention to return it as soon as l
could, and as soon as my domestic
troubles had been settled"
According to the information f-o;'l
Holcomb, Warren disappeared there
October 81. He told his friends at the
time he departed, he was going tc
st. Louis to visit some friends and
nobody suspected the shortage. The
postoffiee authofties, howeker, be-
came suspicious and ordered Klein
wachter to make an examination Of
the post office books and accounts.
The alleged shortage was revealed.
Holcomb being in the Southeastern
United States District of Missouri,
the prisoner will most likely be
taken to the Cape for trial. 1t is
probable that his case will be tried
during the special term of Federal
Court which has been advanced from
January ID, the original date, TO

being fired, refused to answer any
questions put to them by a reporter
for The Tribune. They said they Were
not permitted to make any statement:

This was admitted by Mr.. Sprad-

around Parmenter and was making An
effort to conceal what evidence they
had compiled for the reason that they
did not wish to expose their testimony
to the attorneys for the defendant.
Harry Abbott, IS years old, an EN-
ploye Of the shoe factory and Arthur
Schaefer who lives on North Borle-
ward, it is understood, are the two
latest eye witnesses the prosecution

when the policeman was slain and are
expected to tell on the witness stand
who the slayer was.
John Sitze, night janitor at the

also witness for the state. He was

to his testimony and saw a man fire
a second shot at something lying in
the street, near the lamp post on the
corner of Broadway and Middle street.
James Minton, a drayman, Miss
Sylvia Mantiz and Melvin Stephens
are the most important witnesses the
prosecution has found during its IT,
vestigation. Minton and Miss Mantiz
are direct witnesses having seen the
shots fired but they have not as yet
been confronted with the prisoner for
the purpose of identifying him as the
man whom they saw fire the fatal
shots.
Judge Edward D. Hays and N. A..

refuses to make any statement re-
garding the incidents Of the incidents

1850 WOMEN IN
CAPE ENLISTED IN
FOOD CAMP PAICN
Canvass of City Was Com.
pleted by Workers
Yesterday.
COUNTY CANVASS TO
BE STARTED TODAY
Only $50 Women Refused To
Sign Food Pledge-Reports
Not Yet Complete.

The names of 1850 housewives OF
the city were turned over to DR.. W.
S. Dearmont who is in charge of tht
food conservation campaign in the
city and county ,as willing to assis.
i in the conservation of food during the
period of war. About $50 were not
found at home when the solicitors
called while $50 refused to sign for
various reasons.
The campaign in the city was
brought to a close yesterday after all
solicitors had made their reports %
DR.. Dearmont. Prominent women and
men and a number of students of TIE
Normal, about 100 in all, made a
house-to-house canvass beginning
Wednesday to enroll the name of those
who were willing to lend their aid to
the government to reduce the waste
of food and the consumption of GER
tain foodstuffs such as fats, meats,
sugar and wheat ~
Reports made to Dr. Dearmont from
Jackson and Oak Ridge indicate a
great success of the campaign in
these two towns. Only a few who
were approached by the solicitors de-
clined to enlist their service in this
campaign, the canvassers reported.
The students of the Normal who as
sisted in eanvasisng the city, had not
made a complete return on the re-
suit of their work yesterday even
ing, due to the fact that the ms
iority finished their work too late to
be sent to DR.. Dearmont. A definite
report on the work done in the pub
lie schools could not be obtained. With
these reports complete, the leaders of
the campaign believe they can con-
2ratulate themselves on the success
they had during the food campaign.
The food campaign workers will be-
gin canvass of the county today, IN
order to enroll all housewives on the
farms and in the small towns where
no food organization is active. 1t is
believed that only few will be found
who will decline to join in the conser-
vation of food movement.
Every housewife enrolled was given
a card showing the directions under
which the food waste can be stopped
and conservation could be accomplish
ed. Every housewife is urge dto re-
duce the amount of wheat for Tie
family use and substitute this cereal
with cornmeal. This is urged because
of the fact that corn cannot be ship
ped as easily as wheat and it is for
the benefit of the allied nations Of
the United States that this food Can't
,paign is being conducted.
According to the solicitors reports
made to DR.. Dearmont the principal
objection made by those who declined
to pledge their assistance for the con-
serving of food was that the present
high prices demanded that they save
and reduce their food supply without
making any formal pledge to that eff
feet. Others seemed to believe that
the pledge was binding under some
law and that violation of the pledge
would subject them to prosecution.
