Convicted of Evading the Draft.

in the United States court at Joplin
Tuesday of evading the draft. Sem
tence was held up pending the trial
of his younger brother, Homer Nc
Mannis, who was arrested at the
same time and on the same charge.
The defense hinged its chief efforts
on the presentation of the family
Bible, which purports to show that
Marvin McMannis was on!y 20 years
old on registration day. The prosecu-
ton contended that the Bible was
"doctored' as the dates of the birth of
the two brothers show that the boys
were born within six months of each
other. School records were intro
duced by the government to show
that the boys were "a and a3 yeAfa
old respectively.

PUTS EMBARGO ON COAL TO
MISSOURI.
Kansas Director Orders That Output
be Sent to Cities Inside State.

Hutchinson, Kan, Jan. 14.-Emer-
son Carey, Kansas fuel administrator.
announced tonight that he had de-
clared three-day embargo on coal
shipments from Kansas into Missou-
ri, effective Immediately.
Mr.. Carey ordered the Southwest
Interstate Coal Operators Associa-
ton to divide the entire output OF
all mines in Kansas to cities inside
the state. This will void all orders
from Kansas City, Mo-, St. Joseph
and Iowa towns, which have been
getting much fuel from Kansas.
Railroads have been given instruc-
tions to run solid coal trains if neces-
sary to relieve the situation, and coal
is to be handled ahead of all other
commodities. Fuel shipments are be-
ing delayed because many railroads
are not operating freight trains due
to the storm last week.
During the past forty-eight hours
kilograms urging the shipment OF
fuel to 100 towns and cities over Kan
sas have been received by Mr.. Carey.
Topeka, Wichita, Coolige, Meade,
Manhattan and Atchison report short
ages, and Columbus, which has three
mines is almost out of fuel.
The situation is grave, and unless
warmer weather comes, many fami-
lies over the state will suffer. Mr..
Carey believes.
Mr.. Carey stated that he was con-
templating taking> >up with Admins
traitor Garfield the proposition of
urging the Missouri Pacific Railroad
between Fort Scott and Topeka fer
hauling coal direct from the mines
to Topeka and intermediate points, as
we'll as transferring here to the Rock
Island and Santa Fe without the de-
lay incident to passing through the
Kansas City yards.
