. Frankfurt. For expenditures In tho
protection of water shed of naviga
ble streams from forest Area the State
Forestry Department of Kentucky baa
received $4,000 from the federal gov
ernmont, and It will be used this year
lor that purpose.
The appropriation la made under the
Week law, which provides that tho-
protection afforded must bo confined
to forested water shed of navigable
streams, the slate must provide a law
for a syBtera of Are protection, and
that the expenditures provided under
the law shall not bo greater than the
amount appropriated by the state for
the same purpose. .
Kentucky Is placing herself In the
van of tbls Important movement look
lug toward the protection of her for
net resources and the conservation
end regulation of the navigable waters
of the state, depending on the forests.
Since (he passage of the law by the
last general assembly creating a state
board of forestry, authorising the em
ployment of a state forester, and pro
viding for an adequate forest policy
to the state, Kentucky Is In excellent
position to take advantage of the fed-
eral government's aid. and the state
forester is at the present time arrang
ing the preliminary - details . with a
' view to having the co-operative, agree
ment between the fedora) government
and the state perfected before the Ire
season within the state begins.
In accordance with the previous
practice of the federal government.
most of the funds allotted Kentucky
will be expended in the employment
of fire patrolmen and lookouts In those
sections of the state where experience
has showns the danger from fire Is
the greatest.
New Senator la Kentucklan.
. W. M. Kavanaugh, who was elected
United 6tates Senator from Arkansas
for the short term. Is a brother of
State Librarian Frank Kavanaugh, and
a Frankfort boy. He was educated at
the Kentucky Military Institute at
Parmdnle, this county, and went to
Little Rock in 1886. He started as a
reporter on the Gazette, and became
successively city editor and managing
editor. He is perhaps best known as
president of the Southern Baseball
League, but is head of the street rail
way system of Little Rock and of a
trust company. He and his brother
are projecting a water-power plant
Mr. Kavanaugh was appointed Sheriff
of Pulaski county, by Governor, now
Senator Clark, and later serving four
' years In that office was elected County
Judge.
Shortage Is Made Good.
Paying to the elate 117,500. the
Title Guarantee and Surety Co., of
Soranton, Fa., settled by compromise
the shortage of Judge C. E. Booo, the
defaulting former assistant auditor.
The full amount of his shortage was
$35,000. The peculations of Judge
Booo began under Auditor Gus Coul
ter, and continued through the admin
istration of former Auditor W. S. Ha
ger and even under Auditor Frank P.
James. The settlement was made
through Col. Ell H. Brown, represent
ing the surety company, with the sink
lug fund commission, and the 117,500
was accepted because many of the
peculations were of small amounts and
were hard to account for. Judge Booe
was paroled from prison and Is In busi
ness In this city.
Verdict Reversed For Error.
The verdict for $3,000 damages
awarded the administrator of Dock
Heavers In the Whlteley circuit court
against tbe Proctor Coal Co. was re
versed by the court of appeals for er
ror In instructing the Jury. Beavers,
a miner, was killed two years ago by a
fell of slate caused by blasting la the
oompany's mines. Tbe entry where he
was working was In Tennessee, though
use entrance to the mine was on the
Kentucky side of the Hue.
Revenue Collections Record Broken.
January internal reveuue collections
at tUe deputy collector's office here
broke all previous records. Collections
amounted to 118,574. The largest pre
vious collection fur oos nioalo, t87t,
was In November, 111.
Circuit Ceurt Gives Orders,
The Franklin Circuit Court grant
ed to J. E. Williams a man
datory injunction, requiring Gov. Mc
creary to Issue to him a commission
as County .Judge of McCreary county.
The ease will be Immediately ap
pealed, -as Oev. McCreary staled that
he desired a court decision ' on the
question Involved in the construction
of the Act of 1912, creating the new
county. - . - i
The act authorised Gov. McCreary to
appoint a full complement of officials
for tho new county, and stipulated thaf
they should hold office until the next
regular county election. While the
regular election last November came
after the creation of tbe county and
the appointment of officials, it was not
the year In which county officials are
elected generally In Kentucky. Coun
ty officials over the state will be
elected next November, and Gov. Mc
Creary construed the law to mean that
the officials he appointed Should hold
until that time. Jf
Tbe Republicans in tyfCreary coun
ty nominated a ticket 0 fill the vacan
cies until next November and the re
turns showing that Williams hod re
ceived a majority of the votes of the
county, were certified to the Governor,
who refused to Issue the commission.
Williams then asked the court for a
mandatory injunction.
Rules on New County Officers.
Judge Stout in the Franklin circuit
court sustained a demurrer to the an
swer of State Treasurer Thomas Rhea
in the suit of Commission of Agricul
ture (J. W. Newman to compel the
treasurer to stamp as Interest-bearing
a warrant for $30,000 Issued by the
state auditor In favor of the state fair
board. The warrant was Issued under
an appropriation made by the general
assembly In 1912 to pay off notes of
the s(Ate fair,, payment of which had
been guarantee! by sixty Louisville
business men. The esse will be ap
pealed. ,
Judge Stout's opinion was not writ
ten. He held that the treasurer was
purely a ministerial officer and must
honor warrauts Issued by the auditor.
Should 'ttie opinion be affirmed by
the Ci-'Jrt Jf DTili-ttwottiev.-
all the appropriations made by tbe last
general assembly wb.es. the auditor
had Issued tbe. warrants..
Judge Stout decided that the act of
1912 requiring the state to pay for
bonds of state officials Is Invalid, as It
was not signed by the president of tbe
seuate. A test suit was filed la the
name of State Superintendent Barks
dale Hatnlett.-who submitted his bond
for approval and payment of the pre
mium. The rase will be appealed.
Loses Verdict Through Error.
Krror in instructions caused a re
versal of the Floyd Circuit Court by
the Court of Appeals in a case in
which Elizabeth Roblnett had recov
ered $500 damages on account of an
exciting ride she had from Catletts
burg to her home In Harold, Floyd
county, on tbe Chesapeake & Ohio.
Her father, with whom she was sitting,
and the conductor engaged in an alter
cation over her father's ticket, and her
father was knocked against her and
then put off the train. The conductor
was afterward declared insane, and
she sued the company, charging that
assault and battery had been com
mitted on her person. The court held
that if she had been brought Into phy
sical contact with the participants dur
ing; the fight by reason of one of them
being knocked against her, that sub
stantially fulfilled tbe statutory defini
tion of assault and battery, but the
trial court failed to give instructions
to the jury to which tbe defense was
entitled.
Will Keep Accounts at Penitentiary.
The Individual accounts of prison
ers In the State Reformatory and the
Eddyvllle penitentiary will be kept by
the wardens instead of by the audit
or's office. Tbls plan was agreed upou
at a conference between State Auditor
1L M. Bosworth and Daniel E. O'Sul
llvan, chairman of the State Prison
Commission. The percentage of rev
enue from prison labor set aside for
the benefit of the prisoners will be Is
sued la lump to the wardens by war
rant on the treasury and tbe wardens
will Issue checks to tbe prisoners. This
was considered the simpler method of
handling the funds, as otherwise some
one representing the prisoners would
have to come to Frankfort from Eddy
vllle and send an order for a warrant
every time a prisoner wished to draw
his money.
Teacher Must Walt For Money.
The teacher of the rural and elty
schools will not get their pay from the
state promptly this month. Barkadale
Hamlet t. Superintendent of Public la-
struction, made out warrants amount-
lag to 1410.410.55 for the rural teach
er and $1)6.120.21 for tbe city teachers
and sent them to the orace of Treas
urer Rhea to be honored. As there was
no money la lb treasury to pay the
warrants they were Wid aside nutil
the saoaey eovld be aweum slated. - i
