CHARGED WITH
SERIOUS CRIME
John Edgar Mann Charged With
Making Vicious Remarks Against
President and Government.

The police Of the city arrested
John Edgar Mann Saturday charg-
ed with assault and battery and
with seditiously eursing the President
of the United States and making
threats against the government and
the president. 1t seems from the
best of information we can secure
that Mann went into the store OF
Isaac lobe and was asking about
buying some -four and when inform
ed that he. would have to buy an
equal amount Of meal or cereals,
became enraged and cursed the
nres5dent and government Mr. A
A. Ramey, an aged gentleman, was
in the store at the time and remon-
strated with him whereupon he
struck him in the face and kicked
him severely and had it not been
for the interference of other men
would have severely injured Mr..
Ramey, who is quite an old man
but who in spite of his age was
ready and willing to fight for his
country's honor. AT the examining
trial this morning in Police Court
Mann waived examination and was
bound over to the Circuit Court to
await the action Of the grand jury
in the assault and battery case.
Judge Turner held Mann in jail to
await the arrival of the United
States officials in the other case.
1t is reported that Mann has-been
talking against the government for
several months and that his criti-
cisnis have been very severe. At
the trial this morning in the Police
Court quite large crowd was
present. Government officials are
expected here tomorrow and the
trial has been set for ten o'clock.
Feeling against Mann is very high.

A smooth citizen came to this
city last week and sold number
Of people a gas reducer. He had a
large drawing showing the working
Of the machine which he claimed
worked on the same theory as a
gasometer and which he claimed
would reduce the gas bill from
twenty to forty per cent. However
when he installed the machine it
was found to be only small
thimble shaped affair that simply
stopped up q portion of the pipe
and retarded the flow of gas.
Mayor w. r. Mckee heard Of the
affair and upon investigation found
* Sc 80 BE fake fake pure and simple and
he succeeded in having the money
refunded to number of purchas-
ers, however the man skipped town
as soon as he could and number
of citizens are "stung." The thing
was worth possibly ten or fifteen
cents and were sold for $500.

CHILD HORRIBLY BURNED

Last Friday at the home of her
parents on Spring street, the FIVE
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George Blake was horribly and
probably fatally burned by falling
into an open coal CRATE. The child
is dreadfully burned from the chin
down to the knees. She is suffer-
ing untold agony and it is very
doubtful if she will recover. The
child's father is employed at the
blacksmith shop of Mr.. Henry
Greenwade, on Locust street. The
accident is very sad one and the
parents have the sympathy of the
entire community in their time of
trouble.

FINAL, DRAFT
CALL ISSUED
Last Increment of Present Quota
Ordered to Camp Taylor Begin
ming February 23rd.

Provost Marshal General Crowd
er yesterday announced that the
movement of the last increments of
men selected in the first draft will
begin February 23rd and continue
for a period of five days. This will
complete the operation of the first
draft, as all States will have fur
nished their full quotas.
Just what effect the order issued
f:,c::a; Washington yesterday, call
ing for the final quotas to the first
National Army, on the week of
February 23rd, will have on the
status of those men registered for
service with the local board is not
yet known, and will probably re-
main problematical until some def
mite ruling has been received either
from Washington or from the State
Adjutant Generals office.
The Montgomery county board
here, with an original quota Of SS
to send to Camp Taylor, has sent
but 40, leaving 48 yet to go under
the old regulations, which it is pre-
sumed that the government will
follow until the first army of ESQ.,
900 have all been called, afte,
which the classification system
through the questionnaiEes will
guide entirely.
Another problem which confronts
the local board lies in the fact
that about three fourths of the As
men still to be sent under the ole
quotas are negroes, while "a com.
munication from the Adjutant Gen.
erals Office yesterday said that NJ
negroes should be sent to Camr
Taylor General Ellis said last
night that he thought they would
probably be sent to some othel
camp yet to be determined.
The Medical Advisory Board al
Winchester has recommended the
following AL men as physically
qualified for general military SER
vice and the local board has upheld
its decisions Roy Baker, Oliver
B. Wilson, Chas. e. Heaton, Geo
w. IIeaton and Carl Foley.
Harry F. Howell, who was placec
in Glass AL by the local board, was
allowed his agricultural claim by
the district board and placed il
Class 3. Lester Tharp was allow,

dustries is working well. Dr.. Garfield
said, and every industry asked TO re-
duce it's use of coal has shown Will
ingnesS to cooperate. The voluntary
plan would work better than an en-
forced curtailment, he added. because
each industry would watch its own
members to sec that they are carry
ing out their agreement.
Most of the industries asked to re-
duce their coal consumption will ac-
complish it by shutting down entire
ly for one day each week. as the pa
per board makers already have been
ordered to do. Some industries. how
ever cannot shut down easily for q
day and these will be asked to cease
operations for as long as a month later
on in the year. 1t was suggested that
the glass industry might be one Of
these. Paper board plants will start
shutting down one day in the week and
tomorrow and it is estimated the coal
saving for the day will amount to
about $4,000 tons. J. J. Storrow. of
Boston. fuel administrator for New
England. notified Dr. Garfield today
that he had devised plan for saving
two days on the return trip of every
coal car that takes coal from the mines
to New England towns. This saving.
he said will make up the additional
500 cars of coal that DR.. Garfield has
ordered shall be shipped to New Eng
land daily.
Before leaving tonight for New York,
Mr.. Moves said it would be difficult
to get much more coal into the city
for the present and that consumption
must he curtailed. because continued
shipments to New Jersey ports would
only add TO the congestion and create
shortages elsewhere
