TWO LAKELAND
MEN ARRESTED
FOR FAILING
70 REGISTER

Two Lakeland men have been ar
rested by the Department Of Justice
within the past twenty hours for
having failed to register in the draft,
these being Fern W. Roquemore and
Joe Cochran, the latter living in the
Combee settlement.
Fern Roquemore was taken into
custody last night and taken to Tam
pa. The penalty provided for such
cases is one year in the Federal pris-
on and injunction into the army.
What circumstances surround Ferns
case, of course, are not known, and he
may be able to show sufficient evil
dence that he did not know he was OF
draft age to escape punishment, but
this will have to be brought out at
his hearing. There are those who
will testify that his parents were mar
r!ed on May "a, 1886, and he would
have had to have been born ten days
later to have escaped the draft. As q
matter of fact, it is said, 1t will be
shown he was born in the Spring Of
1887.
Joe Cochran lives east of Lake
Parker, and when arrested today HI
confessed that he was Of draft age ant
had not registered. He will be takel
to Tampa this afternoon.
