That the sheriff of Jefferson
 county merited censufe but not impeachment for the escape of David D. Overton and others, was the gist of the grand jury report made yesterday after noon before Judge w. E. Fort. The report stated that the sheriff had been careless and negligent"
 but that he was honest and while subject of censure was "as intelligent
 and capable" of carrying out their instructions as any man who might
 be appointed in his stead in the event of his removal from office.
 The report contained a list of 'recom-
 mendations' as to the future care of
 the prisoners, and called attention to the fact that outside of preventing condemned prisoners to Escape Sheriff Batson was a competent and highly efficient official. NOTHING MORE SHOCKING That the report was not satisfactory to Judge Fort was evidenced by the fact that he called the jury's attention to the seriousness of the matter under consid- eration and stated that nothing could have been more shocking than the case the grand jury had before them.
 He said that the entire state was de- manding that the matter should be given more than mere perfunctory examination, and told the grand jurymen that they
 were not to consider expense in the se-
 curing of evidence that would throw light on those who were responsible for the es- cape of the condemned prisoners.
 If reference to that part of the report which stated that Sheriff Batson had "inherited' the system in vogue as to the care of the prisoners. Judge Fort said: Custom is not law, and no man, when his attention is called to a serious jail delivery and fails to remedy conditions. can be termed careful officer"
 WARNED AT OTHER TIMES He called attention to the fact that on former occasions abuses in the jail had been called to the attention of the sher- if both by the grand jury and himself. and that the sheriff had promised changes that had not been made in this regard, Judge Fort said
 Now, there are several features upon which you touch somewhat in your report, but I feel they require further consideration by the grand jury and by the public. Some of those I have jotted down as they have oc- cured to me for some months past. The fact is, the previous grand jury looked into the condition of the jail quite thoroughly, and obtained from the sheriff at that time a promise of (Continued on Page Eight

of Civil Engineering, and the State
Department of Public Roads, the
fourth annual Short Course in
Highway Engineering will be held
at the University of Kentucky,
under the direction of the Highway
Engineering Department of the in
stitution, Feb. $40, 1917.
The purpose of the Road School
will be, not to turn out finished en-
gineers, but through lecture course
on the things considered today to
be the best practice in this line of
work, to instruct and invite the CO.
operation of Highway and County
Road Engineers, Inspectors and
Contractors, as well as County
Judges. members Of the Fiscal
Courts and of especially appointed
road Commissions. All subjects
will be open to general discussion

different views on all classes of
road building may be heard.
The lectures will be delivered by
Senior Highway Engineers from the
United States Office of Public
Roads, by the State Road Engineers
of Kentucky and by the Professors
from the Institution. Every phase
of road building will be touched
from the surveying to finished road.
Every type of construction will be
discussed from the earth roads to
concrete and brick roads. 1t is ex-
pected that the largest Road School
ever held at the University will
take place at this time. There will
be no cost and any citizen of Ken
lucky is invited to attend.
AT the same time and place a
meeting of Municipal Engineers will
be held. A program has been ar
ranged with many interesting and
instructive lectures on this phase
Of engineering and it is hoped that
a large number of City Officials,
City Engineers, Sanitary Engineers,
and those interested in this line of
work will avail themselves of this
opportunity.

Do you know him to be nc compan.
for your sonf
Every normal boy has singled on
from his friends and acquaintance
one particular chum. This chum il

maturity develop in him the sex at.
traction.
If you have studied boy nature
or even if you can recall your owr
boyhood days, you must know thai
they are the days wherein the last
ing impressions of life are formed
1t is also the period when the domi-
nation of strong personality is
most potent for good or evil over a
weaker or more plastic nature.
Have you studied your boys
chuml II may be almost as neces-
sary as study of the boy himself.
Is that chum all you could wish
him to bel Is he stronger, or weak
er, of purpose and character than
your boyl If stronger, all the
more reason for you to know his
real character, for he is as sure to
impress his personality upon your
son as that strength overcomes
weakness.
The boy rarely develops habits or
traits of character acquired from
mere chance acquaintance or
strangers. 1t is from his intimates
that he absorbs ideas that become
fixed in the mind and develop into
character. Hence the imperative
necessity that those intimates be
of right character.
Some think it is risky business
to attempt to regulate a sons friend
ship. Admittedly so, yet you have
it in. your power to in a large de-
gree control the matter.
Every normal boy has great re-
spect for his father, provided that
father is deserving of his respect.
The first step, therefore, is to Sc
cure and deserve the boys conf
dence. This accomplished, a little
tactful consideration on your part,
together with personal interest in
his every day. life, ought to give
YOU control of the situation.
But the surest way to control the
natter is to constitute yourself the
boys chum. This can be done if
he matter is taken in hand early
n the boys life.
To every young boy his father is
/ model of perfection. His first |
,Oyish ambition is to initiate father.
f that father is deserving of imita-
ion and will cultivate his boys con-
idence, the problem is solved.
Every father should seek first
lace in his boys confidence. He
hould make certain that he stands
higher in the boys regard than all
'thers. And as the years pass he
hould see to it that the bond is
trengthened instead of weakened.
But this can only be done by fully
ntering into the life of the boy and
y making his life your life.

For the purpose of conferring with Governor Campbell regarding the pro posal of the New Mexico Council of Defense to build a connecting link of railroad between Farmington and Gal lup in New Mexico as an important system of defense, a personal repre- sentative from Governor Lindsay of New Mexico will arrive in Phoenix next Monday Advice to that effect was received yesterday at the state house.

 Through investigations and reports of confidential advisors, including our war committee, I am convinced the danger along the southern border of our two states is a matter of grave import ance and also that the matter of ob- taining adequate transportation facili- ties for troops, munitions and food supplies may become most serious. In connection with my advisory commit tee I have under consideration the mat ter of urging the construction of a short connecting link of railway be- tween Pennington and Gallup, N.

Tn general l think we will need the assistance of the fed eral government or at least of the war department to bring about the comple tion of the road in time to meet the necessities of the situation l shall forward by mail a brief statement of my reasons for believing the cCrStruc tion of this short line would aid ma terially in removing danger of any food shortage in either Of our states and especially in furnishing food and forage for any troops which may be maintained at the southern border and tend to reduce the danger which might arise by congestion or destruction of existing lines.
