DOG GLEADS POSSE
TO ABDUCTED GIRL
Ex-Convict Farm Hand Cap
tured With Child, II, After
Weeks Search.
By the Associated Press.


RANDOLPH, VT, May IA Ger
man police dog early today led three
men to the barn of an abandoned farm
in South Brookfeld, where they found
Earl Woodward, farm hand and a
former convict, and 11-year-old Lu-
cille Chatterton, who left her home
in Granville with Woodward a week
ago. Woodward was captured without
resistance.
The capture brought to an undra-
matte end a weeks search by armed
posses through the wooded mountain
townships in which Woodward had
been a fugitive since he took the child
from the home of her father, Walter
Chatterton, last Friday night. Yes
terday cadets from Norwich Univer-
sity joined the State authorities and
armed citizens in the search.
Go Ahead of Posse.
Early today three men, accompanied
by a police dog, set out before the
posses were ready to take the field.
They were George l.. Jerd and Ray
l.. Chase of Randolph and Winfield
Dubois of Weston.
At the point in Brookfield where
the chase was interrupted yesterday
by rain and darkness the dog was
set on the trail and in half an hour
had led the way to the deserted farm
of Harry Harper in southern Brook
field The dog went directly to the
barn and there in a hay NOW the
Searchers came upon Woodward and
the little girl.
Although armed with a rife and
with five cartridges left, the former
convict quietly submitted to arrest.
Lucille. her rescuers said, wept when
they took her away. and protested that
she was afraid to go home. Wood
ward defended his action in taking her
away by saying that the child was
afraid of her father.

AT a meeting of the leading figures
in the present painters strike today,
brought about through the efforts OF

mitted These two propositions, one
from the strikers and one from the
employers, will be submitted to the

Of the difficulty would be reached in
a few days.
Those who attended the meeting
were William ]. Gallagher, interna

Herbert Shannon, president OF the
Operative Builders Association; Ar
thur Chamberlain, local organizer OF
the painters; Rufus :. Lusk, execu
tive secretary of the citizens fair
wage committee, and Robert j. Cot
treIl, real estate reporter of The Star
Both sides engaged in a frank dis
cussion of their respective claims al
the meeting which is the first thai
has been brought about between the
leaders of the contractors and build
ers who are opposing the grant OF
an increase by the master painters
and the leaders 70 the union.
The meeting lasted for almost three
hours. during which both sides gradu-
ally worked out their proposals. Rep
resentatives of each side showed an
inclination to appreciate the problems
confronting the other. While the
terms of the proposals were withheld
for the time being, they revolve around
a great deal of liberality on the part
of the employers if a satisfactory wage
is agreed.
Both sides expressed realization
that the present controversy is harm
ful and a bad thing for prospective
business in the city. All those in the
conference were unanimous in the
opinion that they desired a quick and
satisfactory agreement.
The proposals will be placed before
the respective organizations at once.

SOFIA, May Another attempt to
assassinate King Boris was frustrated
today by officers of the guard, who
discovered an almost complete sub

fuse, which they believed was intend.
ed TO blow up the royal palace.
Trial of the persons charged with
responsibility for the bombing of the
Sveti Kral Cathedral here recently,
with the loss of $50 lives, was set to
begin today.
OF the six men indicted. only two,
Sacristan Freedman of the cathedral
and the Communist leader Petrini, are
in the hands Of the authorities. The
former Communist deputy, Grant.
charoff, was shot by the police Tues
day when he refused to surrender and
the others, Kossovski, Koeff and
Dimitroff, have escaped.
Wide Outbreak Planned.
Publication of the indictments
against the leading conspirators indi

been the signal for an outbreak OF
anarchy. In Sofia alone, it is alleged
some 200 or 800 men, working in
groups of five or ten, were to have at.
tackled prominent persons, burned
buildings and generally fomented dis
order.
1t will perhaps never be known why
these men failed to carry out their
roles, the authorities say, but it would
appear from statements taken from
persons arrested that many of them
were common criminals, who, after
receiving large sums of money, de
cided that discretion was the better
part of valor.
a few dangerous p1otters are still
believed by the police to be hiding in
Sofia, and systematic searches for
them are being conducted. One night
an entire quarter of the city is cor

next night another section is search

results of the election. But SEN
sational reports of rejoicing at
Doom are erroneous.
The former Kaiser, although he
is highly satisfied with the success
of the monarchists, never has been
a personal friend of Hindenberg,
who before 1914, had fallen into
disgrace with the Kaiser. The for
mer Kaiser realizes that his
chances of reascending the throne
are very slight, and he now has
set his eyes and hopes on his
grandson, Wilhelm, the eldest son
of the former crown prince, who
during the last few weeks suddenly
has come to the front, and recently
was received by the King of Spain
on his visit to Madrid.
But young Wilhelm heretofore
never has cared much for his
grandfather, and never has come
to Doorn to see him. 1t seems
this GOODNESS results from the hos
fifty of the HohenZollern family
toward Princess Hermine, the for
n1er Kaiser's wife, who is still con-
sidered an intruder.

Fred G.. Coldren, chairman of the
committee on parks of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, and for years
an earnest advocate of park eXten-
sion in the National Capital. to-
day was appointed attorney of the
National Capital Park Commission.
The commission at is meeting yes
terday authorized the appointment
of Mr. Coldren as an adviser in con-
nection with the purchase and con-
demnation of land which is to be
added from time to time to the park
system here.
Lieut. Col. Clarence o. Sheriff., di
rector of public buildings and parks
and executive officer of the park
commission, announced Mr.. Coldren' 8
appointment.
In making the announcement Col.
Sheriff. paid a high tribute to the
unceasing efforts of Mr.. Coldren as
civic worker in fostering the eX-
pansion of the park system and the
identification of the Capital. 1t will
be remembered, Col. Sheriff. said,
that Mr.. Coldren rendered exception
ally fine service in drafting and pre-
senting to Congress the bill for the
creation of the National Capital Park
Commission.
AS chairman of the committee on
parks of the Board of Trade. Col.
Sheriff. continued, Mr.. Coldren has
been a continual and earnest advo-
cate of park development and is well
qualified for duty in the office of the
executive secretary of the commits
sion on account of his familiarity
with park requirements and plan
ming.
The Park Commission yesterday
spent the entire day examining plots
of ground which 1t has in mind for
purchase and addition to the park

STARGARD, Prussia, May lit is
not yet explained whether the wreck
this morning of the Eydtkuhnen-Ber-
lin express near here. in which from
80 to 40 persons were killed and about
40 injured, was caused by accidental
derailment or was the act of political
malcontents. Some color is given to
the latter theory by the fact that a
Russian economic commission, headed
by Dr. Markoff, director of the Rus
sian economic institute for the Baltic
states, was aboard the train.
The third and fourth cars of the
train were telescoped, killing most of
the travellers in the third coach and
injuring many of those in the fourth.
Some bodies were terribly crushed.
Limbs We're torn from some, and still
others We're found considerable dis
tances from the wreck.
The local hospital was unable to
care for all the injured, and some
were transported from Stargard to

tional oratorical contest. by G.. A.
Lyon, associate editor for The Eve
ming Star, came as a fitting climax
to a program in honor of the 16-
year-old senior of Eastern High
School, who is TO represent Wash
ington in the national finals of the
contest. The program was held in
the auditorium of Eastern High
School this morning.
Charles Hart. principal, acted as
chairman. Before introducing the
speakers he gave a brief explanation
of the contest in its national phases
and in it's relation to Eastern.
Miss Kate D. Buckman, director
of the contest at Eastern, sounded
a note of praise for the newspapers
and the individuals who have made
the contest possible. She failed,
however, to give credit TO one who
has been extremely faithful in the
Washington contest, namely, herself.
Students Cheer Winner.
A representative of the student
body, Olin Everett, praised the eff
forts of Miss Graves and congratu
lated her on behalf of her fellow
students. I'VE are glad she has won
several hundred dollars" he said,
and was interrupted at this point by
a storm of applause, then continued,
"and we hope she will win several
thousand more"
The president of the Home and
School Association, DIR. Raymond
A. Fisher, offered the congratulations
of the parents connected with the
school and assured the student body
of their support.
DR.. De Witt Croissant, president of
the Alumni Association of Eastern
High School and professor of English
at George Washington University,
kept the audience roaring with
laughter at his witty remarks and
humorous "reminiscences of his school
life at Eastern. He became serious
long enough to congratulate Miss
Graves on her victory and the student
body upon its splendid support. He
especially stressed the point that the
school spirit of Eastern was one of
the important factors in Miss Graves
success.
Leigh Praises Candidate.
Randolph Leigh, national director
of the oratorical contest, congrat-
ulated Eastern on it's splendid school
spirit. He pointed out Eastern High
Schools advantages in having first
place on the program in the final
meeting, in having the concentrated
support of the community and school,
and in having a candidate of outstand-
ing ability and persuasive eloquence.
At the close of the meeting Miss
Graves received an enormous bouquet
of flowers, present from the school.
She was almost overwhelmed by the
demonstrations of praise and appre-
citation. but promised to show her
appreciation of the support of her
teachers and classmates by doing her
best in the contest May s.
