EMBARGO on COAL TO MISSOURI. Kansas Director Orders That Output be Sent to Cities Inside State. Hutchinson, Kan., Jan. 14.—Emer- son Carey, Kansas fuel administrator, ‘announced tonight that he had de- ‘clared a three-day embargo on coal shipments from Kansas into Missou- ri, effective immediately. Mr. Carey ordered the Southwest Interstate Coal Operators’ *Associa- tion to divide the entire output of all mines in Kansas to cities inside the state. This will void all orders from Kansas City, Mo., St. Joseph and Iowa towns, which have been getting much fuel from Kansas. Railroads have been. given instruc- |. tions to run solid coal trains if neces- sary to relieve the situation, and coal ‘is to be handled ahead of all other commodities. Fuel shipments are be- ling delayed because many railroads are not operating freight trains due to the storm last week. During the past forty-eight hours telegrams urging the shipment - of fuel to 100 towns'and cities over Kan- sas have been received by Mr. Carey.

Marvin McMannis, of the eastern part of Vernon county was convicted in the United States court at Joplin Tuesday of evading the draft. Sen- tence was held up pending the trial, of his younger brother, Homer Mc- Mannis, who was arrested ,at the same time and on the same charge. The defense hinged its chief efforts on the presentation of the family . Bible, which purports to show that’ Marvin McMannis was oaly 20 years old on registration day. The prosecu- tion contended that the Bible was “doctored” as the dates of the birth of. the two brothers show that the boys were born within six months of each’ other. School records were. intro-. duced by the government to that the boys were 24 and 33 old respectively. x a7 Americana Die ia
