Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 1S--The
surrender of former Judge J. s. Ev'

contempt of federal court has added
another chapter to the tangled his
tory of the fight to compel a county
in the Missouri hills to pay a bonded

success.sr
Federal Judge Van valkenburgh
issued an order of contempt against
the three Dallas county judges last
March. Judges Monroe Quiglcy ard
j. e. Thomas sought the safety Of
the woods. In the night, deputies
surrounded Judge Evans home and
he was brought into federal court
where he refused to agree to bond
levy and was sentenced to six months
in jail for contempt. The Court Of
Appeals recently affirmed the decision
and the Judge, who had heen re-
leased pending decision, appeared to
begin serving sentence.
Judge Evans who is now out OF
office and therefore has no power to
act on the tax levy, was taken TO
Springfield, Mo. Whether he must
serve his sentence is still somewhat
in doubt.
Meanwhile, Dallas county is with

RUSSIANS REPROACHED
BECAUSE OF THEIR NA.
TIONAL APATHY
(By Associated Press.)


Vladivostok, Feb. Intelligent
Russians are criticised by the Dale
kaya Okraina for their alleged fail
ure to help themselves in their mig
fortunes. Newspapers are attack
ing the allies the paper says, ere
preaching them for lack of active as
sistance."
Perhaps the Allies have not taken
all the measures desirable from the
Russian point Of view, but before re-
preaching them we must in fairness
ask what have the Russian citizens
themselves, especially the intelligent
ones, done for their own defence and
for their own interests? Are the citi.
zens ready to sacrifice even share
.of their own interests for the COM
mon cause? With words they are
ready to do everything but they prove
nothing by deeds. Even the privil-
eyed class does not participate In the
city elections.
Look around! What is going on?
Cafes are crowded with young men
who could have served their mother
land. There Is only talk Of profits.
Everyone is engaged in speculation.
The majority are engaged in their
own affairs and have no time for the
common cause.
THE Czecho-Slovaks asked the
Russians to subscribe a loan of
100000 rubles. The subscriptions
covered only 100000 rubles, and all
this for those Czecho-Slovaks thanks
TO whom half the Siberian intelligent
STA were saved from the Bolshevikl,
"At the outset OF the war al. the
women abroad gave up amusements
and began to make things for the
soldiers. Alas! We have nothing
similar. II we should learn that the
Allies are really going to leave Rus
5ia, the majority of those who now
reproach them would be the a-st to
rush for a place on steamship with
the one aim of running away from
the Bolshevikl. 1t is high time for
the Russians to muster all their
forces into a strong unit, forget their
party quarrels and enter upon the
restoration Of a single Russian peo.
ple.'
