IN MISSOURI
Fuel Administrator Crossley Issues
Orders Supporting the Federal
Order.

st. Louis, Jan. I8-Fuel Admins
traitor Crossley Of Missouri elaborat-
ed the fuel restriction order which
applies to this state today.
Schools, he said, would be the last
institutions to be curtailed in the use
of coal. Churches. he said, already
are doing all that could be expected.
I'VE have not yet finished the clas-
sification of industries as to fuel
needs" said Mr.. Crossley, "but an
order affecting breweries and other
non-war industries probably will be
issued soon.
Instead of closing saloons outright
one or two days, the order takes
thirty-one hours a week from their
business"
Mr.. Crossley suggested that the
breweries cut down 50 per cent of the
coal consumption, but they said this
could not be done at once, as it would
cause waste OF grain now in process
of manufacture.
Newspaper offices and telegraph
offices are exempted from the office
building closing order. All other
buildings must close at = and not
open until 2. Enforcement of the or
der will be up to the building" man
ager.
No further notice than publication
in the newspapers will be given to
those affected by the order. Violat-
ors will be given one warning and a
second offense will be reported to the
Department OF Justice.
In Kansas City all saloons must
close all day Mondays and Tuesdays
and at 10 o'clock every night. Fuel
supplies to breweries were stopped
entirely. They. however, kept rum
hing on their reserve stock. ,,

county circuit court at MarshiieiJ
this forenoon. -
Similar charges against Mrs.
Adams, Make Adams and Sam Mic
Ginnis were dismissed.
1t was understood, Judge Skinker
said, that the pleas OF guilty were in
full consideration of the 'lacts in tn S
case" referred to other charges re-
lating to the kidnapping OF Baby
Lloyd keet.
/ A general continuance was granted
III the case against Dick Carter. Ike
cases against Claude G.. riersol,
whose appeal to the supreme court
was not dismissed, are, also, still
pending. They include mur.er
charge.
1t is expected that the prisoners
will be taken at once to Jefferson
City, Piersol's bond having been sur
rendered
Adams, when asked if lie had any
thing to say before sentence was pro-
nounccd, at first said he really was
not guilty. He declined, however. 20
withdraw his plea, and sentence was
passed in accordance with a recon-
mendation of the prosecuting attor-

yer. chairman OF the bates County
Council OF Defense, and H. O. Maxey

No Taps for Whistler.

Camp Funston, Jan. 17.-Without
the ceremonies of the army honors
to the dead the body of Captain
Lewis Whistler was. taken to the sta
ton today to be send, to Gem, Kan
sas, for burial. The notes of bugle
softly blowing1""taps" as the boy
was carried to the train we're not
heard. Nor was there an escort of
soldiers of the command. The
crossed rifles of the infantryman
were placed in emblem on the coffin.
All was still and quiet as the body
moved slowly toward the railway
station, save for the barely audihfe
sobs @ Of his former wife. and d. A0w q.

Find All Bank Loot.

~0AuE = 0nSS0h1 AAWSs1 S0ns Aos . AsS
So, 900 Of the funds of the army banl
stolen Friday night by Capt. Lewis
Whistler after he had murdered -four
civilians and wounded fifth was re-
covered today in the officers quar-
ters. The money was concealed in a
compartment, previously prepared, in
the wall behind book shelf.
The determination to make more
thorough search of Captain Whistler q
quarters followed a report made yes
terday by an assistant in the intelli-
gence office. The conclusion was
reached from the facts. gained that
the stolen money had not been
smuggled off the reservation.
Col. J. r. Mitchell of the 3s4th In
fantry, to which Captain Whistler be-
longed, today took charge of the dead
officers quarters. A book shelf in
he southeast quarter of the room
was torn away. Behind that was a
board. On removing the latter a
small compartment in the wall was
discovered and the officer, reaching
in, found all of the stolen funds.
The indications were that the Sc
cret compartment had been prepared
by the captain previous to the holdup
and murder. The hand AK and pliers
discovered in Captain Whisler's room
after he committed suicide probably
were used in preparing the hiding
piscs.
The officers in charge of the in
vestigation say now that Captain
Whistler was mentally unbalanced
without a doubt"

NATION TO HOLD ROADS
AFTER WAR ENDS. SAYS
u CE4rEF
NcAdoo Tells Committee Greater
Control Win be Necessary in
Future.

Washington, JAM. 2I.-American
railroads will not be returned to pri-
vate ownership for considerable
time after the close of the war. Dir
rector General of Railroads McAdoo
made this prediction to the senate in
terstate commerce commission to-
day. He added that greater control
Of the railroads also will be ,neces-
sary than was in effect previous to
government seizure of the roads,
Director McAdoo also announced
his opposition to government owner
ship of railroads.
Mr.. McAdoo.s statement came in
answer to question from Senator l..
D: Smith as TO why he proposed rail-
road bill provides for government
control until congress otherwise
ORDERS"
n the war ends the railroads
will be. to large extent, disabled for
competition said Mr.. McAdoo.
There will also be great economic
problems to deal with. For the inter-
ests Of the public there must be prop
er control, control which will meet
the new conditions. 1t is impossible
to deal with that matter under exist
ing laws. 1t IS a matter for study.
At the end of the war congress will
be too busy and the railroads should
not be returned to private ownership
without legislation to protect the
public"
Director General McAdoo said the
government will have to control the
railroads for "at least three years af-
ter the end of the war;" He stated
that the matter of compensation
would have to be settled before the
railroads are turned back to their
owners.
"Do you believe in government
ownership" asked Senator Watson.
"No, sir, l do not" responded Di-
rector McAdoo. "but l believe some
form of government regulation more
comparative and intelligent than the
old competitive system must be
worked out when peace comes.
"Very great readjustments Of the
railroads must come, said McAdoO.
"Of course, in a short three weeks
this work has hardly started"
Director McAdoo did not believe
that a period of six months after
peace would allow long enough time
for readjustment.
"If there is no time limit congress
would have free hand to deal with
the problem" McAdoo said.
1t was doubtful today whether the
administration railroad bill would be
reported before the end of the week.
The railroad bill is one of the meas
ures upon which the president has
urged quick action and Chairman
Sims of the interstate commerce CON-
mittee was prepared to comply with
this request. 1t was supposed when
hearings on the bill were be run that
after Interstate Commerce Commis-
sioner Anderson. who prepared the
bill, had explained its provisions to
the committee and Judge Thorn had
made his statement on tehalf of the
railroads. favorable report could
quickly be given. Many witnesses
demanded tt be heard, however, and
the report on the bill was delayed for
more than 10 days.

spoken words from his father.
Captain Whistler had hone of the
honors accorded by the army to Of
ficers who die nobly. The only rec
ognition. accorded him today was an
order that the body should be given
over to his father, and with that mo-
tation the military record of Captain
Whistler was closed.
