RUNAWAY HORSE
HAD TO BE KILLED
One of William Perkins Pair, After
Three Mile Run, Stepped Between
Ties Of. Railroad Crossing.

A horse owned by William Perkins
of Montpelier had to be killed BY Dr.
o. T.. Barr on North Main street Late
yesterday afternoon when the animal
sustained broken leg in a runaway
dash with its teammate from the All
dricll fiat half way between Barre and
Montpelier. The horses leg was bro
ken when it stepped through the ties
of the street railroad bridge over Gun.
ner brook.
The team was hired by Thomas Nell
son and Messrs. Jackson, Clifford and
Mellish of Montpelier and was walk
ing along the Aldrich fiat when the
sleigh slid into rut made by the con-
slant travel OF automobiles between
the two cities. This caused the sleigh
to tip over, the horses getting away
from the driver and running with the
front sled to Barre AT the Gunner
brook bridge tile runaways took to the
street car track instead of using the
highway bridge
The pair failed to pass over the
bridge and were stopped when one of
the animals stepped between ties. Dr
Burr found the injured horse was in
such condition that it had to be shot.
II was one Of the best horses for livery
business that Mr.. Perkins owned as it
was an animal which any person could
drive; and it is said that 5000 viii not
replace the animal. The other horse
was thrown when its mate stepped
through the ties but escaped injury
other than scratches and bruises.
1t is said that the span ran very
fast all the distance from the, ,Aldrich
fiat TO the bridge, distance OF about
three miles. The members of the sleigh
ing party were not injured They had
previously hired rigs at the Perkins
stable for winter drives.

CLONES 4FFRAY
C4USES WORRY
Irish Provisional Government Had High
Hopes-Developments Are Await
ed Anxiously.

London, Feb Is (by the Associated
pressl The situation in Ireland,
which had seemed to be improving nm
der the apparent efforts of Arthur
Griffith and Michael Collins to obtain
the release Of the kidnapped Ulster
men. has become aoutely dangerous as
the result Of the Clones affray on Sat
urday.
The Times Dublin correspondent
says dismay followed the news OF the
clash in which four special Ulster con.
stables were killed; eight wounded and
six made prisoner and the leader of
the Sim Feiners, Matthew Fitzpat-
rick, shot dead. The provisional gov
ernment was highly perturbed. az the
affair dashed the high hopes based
upon its amnesty proclamation and
the British decision to release all pTis-
oners Ii, Id sfor offenses committed in
England prior to the truce from irish
political motives. Developments are
awaited with the utmost anxiety.
There is some conflict In the ac-
counts Of how the Clones shooting wns
precipitated.. Irish republican army
men at Clones and their sympathizers
take the stand that armed and uni
formed Ulstermen had no right to en-
ter the free state territory and sub
jected themselves to arrest by SO do
ing. II is pointed out that the Gaelic
football players now in the Derry re-
Gently were arrested for a similar rea4
son by the Ulsterites.
The account of the shooting from
the same source is that Fitz- Patrick
approached the Ulster constable and
ordered them TO raise their hands,
promising no violence if they surren-
dered. The only reply to this demand.
II Is said. was the shooting and killing
of Fitzpatrick, upon which the repub-
lican army men fired.
In Belfast. on the other hand, 1t is
contended that the rights of southern
ireland were not infringed by sending
the police from Belfast to Enniskillen
by train although the railroad passes
for a few miles through free state ter
ritory. Northern police are declared
to have travelled that route on Thurs
day and Friday without molestation or
protest either locally or from the pro-
visional government.
Regarding the kidnapped Ulster men,
the Times Dublin correspondent reit-
crates that the provisional government
is doing its utmost to procure their re-
lease, but says il seems TO have been
met with fiat defiance from the Irish
republican army in county Monaghan,
which viii only agree TO exchange
these unionists for the football players
in Derry.

10000 Men
PUT 100 DESTROYERS
OUT OF COMMISSION
Each Congressman to Have.
Three Annapolis APP
pointments

Washington, D. G., Feb. l3.--Secre-
tary DENLY appeared before the House
naval committee to-day to recommend
that the navy personnel for the next
fiscal year be fixed at 10000 men and
5000 apprentices, as compared with
10000 men and 6,000 apprentices, now
authorized
Mr.. DENLY recommended that there
be no reduction in the existing strength
of line officers OF the navy; that the
first class at Annapolis be graduated
and commissioned but that appointment
to the academy hereafter be reduced to
three for each member Of Congress in
stead Of five.
The naval secretary recommended
that 100 desroyers be placed out Of
commission. He estimated that the
program be outlined would effect q
saving Of s7O,oo0,00o in next years
budget.
Secretary Denby's statement pointed
out that since 1919, the war time naval
establishment had been reduced from
| .362 vessels in commission to 300, the
commissioned personnel from 2,20s to
6.l63 and the enlisted force from 4SO,-
723 to 100000.

Great Britain would have p capital
ships, the United States Is and Japan,

iarv combat craft erept as to the size
and armament Of future vessels.
When the conference opened. he said,
she United States had 40 battleships;
80 cruisers; 3l7 destroyers. las sub
marines, l97 auxiliary craft and lb4
"mosquito feet vessels.
s'By the terms of the treaty" he said,
"the United States viii have. remain
ing Is battleships. $40 destroyers, %
cruisers. l06 auxiliaries and l32 small

conclusion as 10 the future strength
of the United States navy can be
reached until ratification by the Senate
Of tho pending treaty because we shall
not know absolutely until then that
the treaty will become effective. This
complicates the question of person

Mr.. DENLY described the status Of
the fleet in commission to-day showing
that battleships carry about 81 per
cent complement, destroyers from 80
to so per cent. and submarines from
30 per cent up.
