DRAG BROTHER TO

efnbezzled by charging too much
against interest on certificates of de-
post. There was no way to check this
up. except TO figure up the amount of
interest due on each certificate for
which interest was demanded. The
certificates are numbered and we will
show that interest was charged against
certificates not issued at that time
1--WE will also show that it would
have been impossible for any other
member of the bank to have taken the
money. We will show that while Ed
Cresser was in Hot Springs for his
health, these same excessive interest
entries were being made in the bank,
and will clear every other officer of
the bank from the slightest shade of
suspicion. Clark Gresser has openly
boosted that he would drag his broth
er to state prison with him. We will
show that Clark Gresser has paid back
S2,400 of his shortages.
ION the day Clark Gresser was ar
rested he asked to be taken to the
home of his brother, Ed, and there
at the house asked Ed Gresser to sign
his bond" Carver continued. when
his brother refused he flew into a
rage and threatened to get him"
That ended Garver's outline of the
case. He called Ed Gresser to the
stand.

North Topeka bank in 1897 as a book

tary of the institution and also a

his brother first began working in
the bank in 1905 and remained with
the institution until 1908, when he
quit. During part of that time Ed
Dresser gave his brother board and
room, free, until the latter was able

January of this year Ed Gresser no

books. His testimony regarding this
incident corroborated Garver's open

The short interest in May has been in

There were half a dozen houses that had

There is talk of a freer movement from

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 22.-The strike
of the Illinois miners, called to force
Fuel Administrator Garfield to an
nounce an increase in the government
price on Illinois coal with resultant
raise in wages for the miners, is ended.
All reports to the operators associa-
ton today indicate every mine IN the

The return of the miners in the

day which patriotism ran high during
the discussion preceding an unanim-
Gus vote to return to work
At the meeting the central field
miners drew up a telegram to Fuel
Administrator Garfield expressing
their willingness to be conscripted in

action is necessary to win the war.
The breaking up of the walkout is

DRAFT RULE 0. K.
Registered Men To Be Divided
Into Five Glasses.
To Be Called in Order of De-
pendents and Fitness.

washington, Oct 22.-President
Wilson has approved the new draft
regulations which will be promulgat-
ed soon to govern the selection of the
remainder of registered men for the
national army. The new plan aims
to classify each of the 100000 not
yet drafted in his place in the ma
tional scheme of defense and to post
pone the drafting of men most need
ed in war industries and those haV-
ing dependents.
To an eX-registered man a Ques-
tionnaire will be sent for him to fill
out and return to his local board.
Upon perusal of the QUESTIONABLE, he
will be assigned to one of five classes.
If he is dissatisfied with the position
assigned him by the local board, he
has the right of appeal to the district
board to change his status.
Glass No. 1, the first from which the
armies will be drawn, will include all
physically fit men who have nothing
TO keep them from serving. Glass No.
2 will include those less fit or those
engaged in an industry necessary to
the prosecution of war; class 3, those
still less fit or highly skilled operators;
class 4 will contain men who should
be the last to be taken. Glass No. 5
will be known as the discard class,
and in it will be placed those wholly
unfit for military service. either on ac-
count of total physical disability or in
Responsibility to the government in
other service.
The local boards will Immediately
>compile a list of all the registered men
under their jurisdiction and to each
of these they will mail a QUESTIONABLE
resembling a very rigid cross-examina-
ton. Men will be allowed seven days
in which to return the QUESTIONABLE to
the board, which will Immediately as
sign them to their respective classes.
Each man will be entered on his queS-
tionnaire and will determine his order
in the class columns at the local board
headquarters.
1t is emphasized that the $4,000
men already drawn will not be affect
ed by the new regulations. The needs
of the government are the first con-
sideration with the men now drafted
who are considered necessary to the
military service. All those who have
been exempted, however, will be ques-
toned and assigned to their classes
along with the registered men who
have not been called upon as yet.
In drawing the men for service,
class number one will first be exhaust.
ed; the other classes following in their
numerical order. If a man is called
for physical examination and turned
down on account of total disability he
will be assigned to class five, which
probably will never be called out.
By the time the selection begins II

chance for appeal to their district
boards for assignment to a less liable
class. This is expected greatly to ia
cilitate the quick drawing of men as
the needs of the government dictate

will be explained tonight by Secretary
of War Baker and Provost Marshal
