SAVANNAH, Sept, 4.-President
w. A. WinbrrS. today issued state
ment in which he emphasized the fact
that the rolling stock Of the Central
of Georgia road is in good condition,
and gave out figures showing the
amount of traffic moved during the

statement follows: /
Mr.. Winburns' Statement
The travelling and shipping public
IS well aware of the manner in
which the Centr laof Georgia rail
way has handled both passenger and
freight traffic during the strike Pc
riod of July and August, however,
some figures may be of interest.
1t has been charged that locomo-
hves in an unsafe condition are being
operated on some railways. The best
answer to this, so far as the Central
OF Georgia is concerned, is the fact
that IN July the safety appliance in
spector of the Interstate Commerce
commission inspected 35 locomotives,
none of which were considered unfit
Tor service. This company has 269
locomatlves in good repair.
The traffic moved during August
amounted to 61,O44 revenue loads,
an increase of"9,198 revenue loads,
o., o. 81 per cent over August of 1921.
mere wa salso heavy increase in
''ai!ie during July, all of which dur
ing both months was handled without
appreclable delay.
Oh September End there were l.

Is YEAR SEARCH FOR LOST BOY ENDS
BY PHILIP J. SINNOTT.

SPOKANE, Washington, Sept. d.
Seventeen years ago Cecil Brit
tain, a, left his parents camp to
go to store at Washington noun
tain resort. He never returned.
A paroled convict, familiar with
the mountains, offered to return the
youth in exchange for full pardon.
He went into the hills alone, and re-
turned-alone.
1T would be impossible for me to
get the boy and bring the two of us
out alive he said. Later, he in
timated that kidnapers had stolen
the boy, believing him to be the son
of a wealthy Walla Walla, Wash,
merchant, from whom they expect
ed to demand ransom.
Mrs. R. L. Britain, the mother,
grieved for her boy, kept up a. search
for him and hoped against hope for
his return through the years that
followed.
G. r. Stark, friend of the family,
had a premonition Is years ago
that he might have part in the un-
ravelng of the mystery, should it
ever be unraveled.
at will require years of observa-
ton, Of careful deduction" he said.
The premonition was so strong
upon Stark that he took a course in
detective work, soely with the
thought that some day he might
bring happiness to the mother of the
missing boy.
Stark taught himself to scrutinize
faces, to notice minor features and
peculiarities that others would not
notice, features that probably would
never change with the years. And
he studied the last picture taken Of
Cecil Britain until it was indelibly
fixed in his mind.

her search. News of the kidnapping,
if such it were, had travelled to. all
parts of the country and detectives

Many times reports came that the

wrong.
Stark did not take up detective
work as a profession. Instead he be-
came an employe of hotel here. A
fellow employe was Cecil Lenighen,
porter. Stark studied his features
carefully, as he did with everyone
