Washington, Jan. 23.-An unofficial embargo on all freight except food, fuel and munitions virtually in effect ton ght east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers as result Of Director General Mic Adoo's authorized embargo today on three eastern trunk lines. Although the restriction was applied formally only to the Pennsylvania and the Bal-- itimore & Ohio, east of Plttsburg and the Philadelpha & Reading, others accepted little freight today, particu- larly if 1t was destined for eastward movement.
 This situation probably will con- ftinue for several days until milder weather permits railroads to begin to move the great quantity of general Efreight accumulated during the past weeks of winter storms.
 Factors contributing to the unoffi- cial eastern embargo were the priority of movement for coal and foodstuffs and the continued preference in coal deliveries given to domestic consum- CTS, ships and certain war industries which were exempted from the ad- nl!nistration's general closing order. The ban on coal consumption was off cially lifted at midnight last night but scores of manufacturing plans, unable to divert coal from the steam flowing to the more essential industries, re- mained closed or prepared to suspend operations in day of two when their available coal stocks are gone. This fact and the knowledge of many ship pers that ordinary freight stood little chance of prompt delivery tend to cur tail the shipment offerings. To re- duee railroad milage in hauling of oaal some sort of zone system of coal dis tribution probably will be put into operation by the railroad and fuel ad- ministrations.
 Plans for such an arrangement at conference between Director Gen. eral McAdoo and Fuel Administrator Garfield, both of whom announced lated that they were working in entire unison in developing a plan of great est efficiency for coal transportation. Although weather remained cold owed most of the east today, no fur ther snow fell enabled railroads to make a slight improvement in the , traffic situation. Nowhere was there any near approach to normal condi- tions, however. and railroad admins tration officials pointed out that the full effect of the low production and distribution would not be felt for sev- eral days.
 The number of ships awaiting bunk CT coal at Atlantic ports was smaller today but freezing of coal in the cars still hampered dumping and ice in harbors interfered with nghterage.
 The dumping of coal at tdewater was particularly retarded today al Hampton Roads whose southern lati- tude heretofore has rendered thawing apparatus unnecessary.

Dallas, Tex. Jan. 23.-Mrs Katie Ahlers, on trial for the killing of Phil E. Tucker, Dallas broker, last Octo- Der, took the stand in her own behalf in criminal district court tonight told the story of her life, which ended ia the tragedy on October 31, when Tucker and his alleged fiancee, Miss Myrtle Cunningham, formerly of ln- diana, Pa, also received fatal wounds, When she reached the point where the shooting of Miss Cunningham was mentioned, the defendant witness broke down and sobbed
 Mrs. Ahlers testified she was 34 years of age and was born and raised in Shreveport, La, and never had been married She first met Tucker in Shreveport in 1919 and lived with him for eisht months before they came to Dallas in 1916 They came to Dallas, the witness said. because Tucker told her she was too nice a girl to live tine kind of life she was leading"
 She and Tusker then planned to come to Dallas and live right, she said.
 Mrs. Ahlers said she gave Tucker $500 to come to Dallas and start in business. Afterwards, in Dallas, she gave him money to take up $25o note. Then according to the defend ants testimony, Tucker began to take money from her dresser in a hotel she had opened here. Trouble star el between the two, and things dritted from bad to worse"
 Money l should have used to pay my expenses. Tucker borrowed. or took. finally decided to give him up. although l loved him.
 "One day I went to the office and asked him for money telling him was broke and had gone to work for si a week. He cursed me and told me to get out made up my mind l would kin myself and bought poison

County Treasurer K. L. Christy has

all the various war calls en- our citi-

the state authorities eidently were
fearful he might have some spare

the government so they called on him,
and as usual he got into the harness
without a kick.
