By the Associated Press
LOUISA, KY, May 26.-The horse
naper who stole Prince for ransom
forgot all about the big feet a Per-
cheron has and so Prince was back
in DR.. r. G. Moore's barn last night.
The registered stallion was stolen
for ransom Wednesday night and
while his owner was mulling over the
$3.50 demanded and his love for
Prince, a farmer came to town and
reported the biggest hoss tracks I
ever saw"
That was all DR.. Moore, ,veterina-
rian and formef county Judge, needed
to know. He got together a posse of
three including himself and trailed
Princes tracks all night. Realizing
they were getting close the posse
crawled over a hill today IS miles
from here in Magofin County and
there was Prince right in the middle
OF the road, big feet and all. His alb
ductor, frightened by the proximity
of the posse, had fed, but the sheriff
of Magoffin County said he thought
he knew who he was and could get
him later.
DR.. Moore said Prince gave a long
joyous 'Whee-hee-hee," even though
he couldn't tell about his narrowing
experience or describe the horsenaper.
Prince is the special pride Of his
owner. and that Whitney of recogni-
ton almost brought tears to his eyes.

Enlistments Opposed.
During the entire morning commit
teemen representing the National Vet

chiefly to discourage enlistments.
Hickerson claimed q number Of men
tore up their enrolment papers after
making them out, but approximately
half the men turned in their papers
and took the cursory physical exami-
nation. This was limited to physical

held that Conductor Wood had at
first testified that he wore no watch
because he had dropped it about a
week previously. but that later Wood
: appeared before the bureau and tes-
titled he had never carried a watcn
while on duty.
In Woods supplemental statement
to the Board of Inquiry, the report
adds, the following testimony was
given by the work train conductor:
He said that after getting their
pay checks they went back to Nc
Lean, arriving there abut 1890 pm.
Motorman Brown stopped the car on
the main line at the station and
Motorman Brown, Lineman Ford and
Conductor Wood left the car and
went to a nearby store where they
cashed their checks and bought some
groceries.
They left Mclean between 1890
and 1850 pm, proceeding westward
toward Spring Hill. Lneman Ford
suggested they stop at Jackson to get
some wine, and the car was stopped at
Jackson Station opposite a private
AkoucN, GA tAAA &C "a t1lCkl 6OAlS w tI1C
house where they were given some
bought quart of wine; on returning
to the car they each had another
drink and then proceeded toward
| Spring Hill, the accident occurring
shortly thereafter, and he said that if
they had not stopped to get the wine
they would have had ample time to
get into clear at Spring Hill for train
No. 118 (the passenger train)
Conductor Wood further stated that
he did not believe Motorman Browns
watch was slow; they had cleared for
| two other trains that morning, and
the first that he heard anything about
the watch being slow was after he
had gone to Spring Hill to report the
accident: he heard the motorman ask
Conductor Bowers Of train No. 118
to compare time with him and he
thought they said that Browns watch
was about IL minutes SLOW"
Statement Of Llneman.
The report of the Bureau of Safety
then took up the testimony Of Line
man Ford. as follows:
4ulGlud4l 4OlQ otdtcQ tIldS WIlt2l
at Jackson Station he remarked to
Motorman Brown that it was time
for train No. 118, to which the mo-
torman replied that they had five
minutes and could make it. Lineman
Ford, however, did not have q watch.
They proceeded over the hill, with
Lineman Ford standing behind the
motorman. and he said he saw the
approaching (passenger) train when
it was about 800 feet distant and
warned the motorman, who appeared
to be dazed.
''Lineman Ford said he then ap-
piled the brakes and reversed the con-
troll. and he thought the car at that
time was travelling at speed Of about
, Is or 20 miles per hour. He also
stated that when making the reverse
movements to perform the work no
flag protection was provided, stating
that they had made similar move
ments previously without authority or
without furnishing flag protection"
The report of the Bureau Of Safety
Is concluded with the fixing Of re-
sponsibilty as follows:
There appears to have been gross
negligence ON the part of the en-
ployes In observing the rules add reg
ulations; and 1t Is essential to safe
operation that operating officers Of
this railroad exercise closer supervision
Of their employees and see that the
rules are properly enforced and
obeyed."

Determined to push the general

last night that unless the Stewart

the strike might spread to other Jobs

There were informal suggestions in
