Reign Count Still Stands as
.Top-Heavy Favorite
for Race.
ODDS AS LOW AS 8-5
Mrs. Hertz May Start Anita

CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUIS
WILLIE, KY, May 16.-The greatest
crowd in its long history probably
will witness the fifty-fourth renewal
of the Kentucky Derpy here Satur-
day.
Louisville has been filling up all
week, and each day brings addi-
| tional thousands. One hundred
thousand persons or more will be
damned around the Downs to view
Saturdays spectacle.
A field of perhaps twenty will go
to the post, it appeared today, with
the East predominating numerically.
But the West will have the favor
tie in Reign Count, the splendid
colt owned by Mrs. John D. Hertz
of Chicago
Odds Shorten
On the basis of his workouts and
Mondays easy victory in the Nam
moth Cave purse, as we'll as by
comparison with the remainder of
the field, sentiment continued so
strong for Reign Count today that
odds as short as 8 to 5 seemed
highly possible. Reign Count may
be coupled with his stable mate,
Anita Peabody.
Although Anita Peabody is being
pointed for thc Kentucky Oaks, the
filly's great condition may induce
Mrs. Hertz to put her in the Derby
Edward B. McLean's Toro, after
his spanking race behind Victorian
in the Preakness, is the second
choice so far. John Schorr, his
trainer, is confident he will run a
worthy race.
Imported Colt
Admiral Cary T. Grayson's Stroll
ing Player still has a following, and
his stable is far from respondent.
The imported colt presumably will
be coupled again with the Audley
Farms Bobashela, which also is on
the ground.
The West has another hope in
Leo Marks Misstep, which worked
fast mile on a soft track Tuesday
in 1:39, and went mile and a
quarter in 2:06 as pulled up.
The track dried out a little after
Tuesdays rain and the advance
weather forecast. indicated Satur-
day would be fair and the track
fast.
Stuyvestant Peabody is reported
to have offered Earl Sande $4,000
win or lose, to come here to mount
Martie Flynn in the Derby, with a
promise of up to half the purse if
he wins. That would mean about
100000. Sande has not yet replied.

cooperation with the Federal Gov
eminent under the Clarke-McNarry
law has been able to secure guam
tity of tree seedlings, which will be
distributed to the farmers and
landowners of the State.
"Tree seedlings and planting stock
can be secured by all land owners
of the State for reforestation pur-
poses. Application blanks can be
had by applying to the State Fores-
try Department, Dover. In order to
assure a reasonable time for deliv-
cry all applications for spring stock
must be made before April Is.
"The following species Of tree
seedlings will be distributed for
spring planting: Red Pine, Scotch
Pine, White Pine, Norway Spruce,
Japanese Larch, European Larch,
Pinus Resinosa, Pinus Sylvewtris,
Pinus Strobus, Picea Excelsa, Lark
Leptopelis, Lark Deeidua.
'The State Forestry Department
will establish a State Forest Tree
Nursery this year for the production
of tree planting stock. Since it will
require at least two years to produce
tree seedlings suitable for forest
planting purposes in this nursery,
the stock to be used this year will
be purchased from commercial nur-
series, by the department and dis
tributed to individuals in the State,
for reforestation purposes. In order
to insure proper use Of this stock
the planter or applicant will be re-
quired to pay $3.50 per thousand,
plus transportation charges which
are paid to the transporting agency.
This price will not prove burden
some to individuals wishing to i'm
prove their woodlands and will IRE
vent needless waste as experienced
through lack of individual or per-
sonal loss when the stock is free.

WALES CONFESSES
HE FIRED STABLE

burning as a means of satisfying Lis
ill-feeling for the farmer.
The fire was one of unusual terri
flying results. Not only was the
building burned, but nine head OF
fine COWS, two large horses and the
other contents of the stable were
1 consumed. The animals were burn
ed to charred pieces of flesh and
J bone and their carcasses were found
laying in their stalls where they
had been secured for the night. The
fire was first discovered by W..
Vaules Grier, DR.. Clyde Nelson and
/ Robert D. Prettyman, all of Milford,
who were driving on the Milford
Harrington highway and saw the
flames burst through the barn, which
was about a half a mile distant.
When they arrived at the place the
building was mass of flames and
they could not get into the structure
to release the horses and cows. A
door at one end of the stable was
opened and a mule and young bull
were given their freedom.
Firemen from Harrington, Hous-
ton and Milford went to the farm.
When they arrived there was no
possibility of saving the burning
stable. The wind was blowing to-
ward the dwelling and other out
buildings when the fire was discov-
cred. Shortly thereafter it changed
and carried the burning embers
away from the buildings. This shift
of wind saved the threatened build
ings which were at first thought to
be doomed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donovan were in
Harrington when the fire was dis
covered. Ugly rumors quickly gain
ed Roadway to the effect that Wales
had been seen in the vicinity of the |
farm shortly before the fire was dis
covered. Other rumors said that
Wales had threatened to seek re-
venge upon Donovan. State High
way Policemen O'Neil and Knox
went to his home in Houston and |
arrested him. He was in bed at the
time. He was taken to lover Jail
for questioning.
Wales ill-feeling fo' Donovan is
said to have been of long standing.
Several months ago trouble between
them resulted in a Jail sentence for
Wales. He was later paroled and
went to work for Donovan again. A
few days ago Donovan called in an
officer and had Wales removed from
mis- farm. This is thought to have
developed a further desire for re-
7enge on the part Of Wales. Several
.hings combined to throw suspicion
IN Wales. EARLY Tuesday evening
he is said to have made in attempt ,
o run down Mr.. and Mrs. Donovan
With his truck as they went to Har-
'ington. Later a man passing the ,
arm saw a truck which resembled !
he one owned by Wales. The We
licle was parked in woods road
lear the dwelling house. A very
ew minutes after he had passed the ,
pot the fire broke out, and as he re- Z
urned to the burning stable the 3
ruck had disappeared. Further in :
disclosed that Wales re- :
urned to his home about ten min
ties before the fire alarm was SCUM .
ed in Houston. This would have
zen ample time for him to have +
cached home from the Donovan
arm.
The farm is owned by James Sapp,
f Magnolia. 1t is thought that the
uilding was insured. There was no
insurance on the live stock and con-
ents.
