TO ESTABLISH
GAME PRESERVE
TWENTY WHITE TAIL DEER ARE
TO BE TURNED LOOSE IN
JACKSON, LESLIE AND
WAYNE.
WILL BRAND THE ANIMALS
President Sachs is Pleased With Work
of Commission. and Speaks of Good
Effect of Enforcement of Laws. Bv
tieves In Licensing Hunters. "
WsteFn Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort. A big game preserve in
the Kentucky mountains will be estab
lished this year: The game and fish
commission .has bought twenty white -
roii Kaf atia n.r
tail deer, the best breed native to Ken
tucky hills, and will set them, tree in
Jackson, Leslie 1 and Wayne, - counties
aS' soon as the roads'are in" condition
o permit travel by"agoniback'.from
Hie railroads. .v. ...
Executive Agent J. Q.vWard said it i3
.probable that the deer. will be branded,
as there is no law now to prptect deer
in Kentucky, excepting one preventing
the killing of ""marked deer,"' He
thtjught the brand will, protect the new
herd until legislation oaa be secured.
It will be necessary to prohibit deer
hunting until the mountains are well
stocked. There are fifteen does and
live bucks in the herd, which are to
be shipped from the Lak Superior pre
serves. '.
President J. G. Sachs, of Louisville,
was at the capitol In conference with
Executive; Agent -Ward".- He is: well
pleased with the work of organizing
the department a'ndthe revenue re
ceived from licenses the first year.
"We can now go ahead making the
organization for the - protection of
ame and land ' owners complete all
over the state," he said. "Aside from
the conservation of game the greatest
beuelit of the new law is. to the land
owners, and they are appreciative.'
Heretofore hordes of people hunted
over their farms, killed off the game
and destroyed property. Now: only li
censed hunters can go' out, and the
farmers have the privilege of hunting
on their own land without' a-license. I
have received Teports from- many sec
tions, showing' that the number of
hunters and the damage to property
has been greatly lessened.
"Mr. Ward and his men have pretty
well cleared the streams of market
fishers, and I think they have prac
tically put a stop to market hunting
for birds in Kentucky. In one "small
county over 12,000 birds were shipped
last year. The farmers from whose
farms thes birds were taken, derived
no benefit and. perhaps suffered actual
loss from the presence of the irrespon
sible hunters. I am confident the law
!s going to work. out to the satisfac
tion of both sportsmen and farmers."
Kentucky Will Be Among FjrsL
Kentucky's militia brigade will be
pressed into service ' among the first,
should the United States intervene in
Mexico, in the opinion of Brig. Gen.
Roger Williams, of Lexington, com
mander of the brigade, following a
visit to the war department.
'The Kentucky National puard is in
fine, trim," said Gen." Williams. -
"My information Is that intervention
in Mexico' would mean American occu
pation, and a large reserve force would
be called out. I understand, should
uch a move be made as a result of
intolerable conditions in Mexico, .that
the Kentucky And 'Tennessee - militia
would be included in "the'Tflrst call to
arms." ; . . . ' -

UREY ESTES
Y
Mr. Urey Estes, a student of the
social science at . the .University of
Chicago, has been made Field Secre-
ai V". LUC " Uu, n,6 a
Association, and opened an office in
the McClelland t building, Lexington,
the, first of February. . ; Mr. Estes Is a
native. Kentucklan. :He was born and
reared, on a farm in Hancqckcounty,
near the village of . Lewisport, and
about "one ; tmmired miles , west from
Louisville. His earlier li'e was spent
as a farmer and teacher In the rural
schools of his home community. Ha
devoted o)e year to the study of law7
la the v office of Sweeney, Ellis &
Sweeney, at Owensbora,' Kentucky,
and later entered the University of
Chicago, where he had been engaged
as a student and in clerical positions
in connection with the University until
the Kentucky suffragettes found him
and placed him in the field as or
ganizer for their state association.
The officials cf this association be
,lieve that Mr. Estes professional
training and experience,' and his keen
interest in the political and social' af
fairs of his native state, qualify him
for success in the unique task to which
he is now devoted. Plans are being
formulated for an " active, state-wide
campaign. A bill will be presented
before the state legislature nest Jan
uary authorizing the submission to the
people at the election of 1914 of. a con
stitutional amendment, extending the
right of : suffrage, to' women... Mrs.
Desha Breckinridge of the Kentucky
association, and she and Mr. Estes Vill
have active charge, of the, state head
quarters. A number of prominent
Kentucky women ate 'connected with
this association. A. zealous fight, will
be :made for political recognition be
fore the next legislature.
Damage Verdict is Reversed.
Lack of gallantry on the part of a
brakeman in not assisting Mrs.' Ellen
Dyer oaaaL & N. train at Rossland,
when her husband and brother-in-law
were accompanying her, was not con
sidered by the court of appeals a good
ground for awarding her damages, and
the verdict of $350 she secured in the
Knox circuit court was reversed by
the court of appeals! Mrs. Dyer was
currying a baby; the train stopped
only a brief time at the station, where
there is a cinder platform, and she al
leged that, the step of the train -was
unreasonably high. Her arm ; was
sprained. She Introduced a rule of the
company that brakemen should help
passengers on, but the court of ap
peals said the law, not the company's
fules, govern its duties to passengers.,
and as the. plaintiff's husband and
brother-ln:law accompanied ' her the
brakeman's Remissness in not helping
her was not actionable. The court, on
the other hand, held that if the step
was unreasonably high, the fact that
the plaintiff knew of this would not
prevent recovery, because the train
stopped f or so short a ,'time, at the sta
tion tifat.. the passengers ;ould riot
choose aplace to get on.
Remanded With Leave' to Amend.
The' case of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad Company against Jff Collins
from "Floyd county, wa& reversed by
the Court of Appeals and remanded for
retrial with leave for Coilins to amend
his petition. He sued for damages,
alleging that he had been thrown from
a train On which her was shipping stock
from Beaver Creek to Louisa. " The lo
cal agent had told him he -had, no
blanks for writing a "drover's pass,'.'
but that, his bill of lading vould suffice.
He claimed the " right to ' a ; "drover's
pass" as a -matter of law, but the
Court of Appeals said there was no
such , statutory -right, although It
seemed ' to .be custom ' to"; issue sucly
transportation ' to' shippers of stock.
The facts did not conform to the plead
ings . and . the case" was remanded . with

"HIKE" IN AN ICY WIND
SUFFRAGISTS ARE GUESTS OF
COLLEGE TOWNS.
Unmindful of the Presence of Wilson
They Demand Food, . Hot Baths
and Stds at Princeton.
Princeton. X. J., Feb. 15. Gen.
Rosalie Jones and a weary band of
suffragists, unmindful of the wild
demonstration, caring, less about
the presence of President-elect Wilson-
and desiring nothing hut food,
hot baths and beds, limped Into this
town on the verge of physical and
mental exhaustion Thursday night.
The hike was over 27 miles of very
bad roads in the face of a bitter cold
wind. ' .
. The troops.'left Metuchen'at 9 a. m.;
They strolled '.into New Brunswick i
long enough to lunch afford an hour
of hilarity for the Rutgers college stu
dents and distribute reams of suffrage
literature to the curious . crowds.
There were IS of them when General
Jones called the rolL Miss Lavinla
Dock of Harrisburg, the surgeon 'gen
eral of the army, was not only ill, but
she found It Impossible to get her
walking boots on. They sent her back
to New York In felt slippers. 'Mrs.
Hetty Wright Graham, who had to be
assisted lnto'Metuchen, was no better
and she was sent back with M13S'
Dock. Percy Passmore deserted at
Metuchen.
Shortly before 6 p. m. the' vanguard
of Princeton students appeared and
tried to kidnap Mrs. John. Bold t but
were headed off by the college proc
tor, who rescued her, and by some
strategy got her safely to a room in
the Princeton . inn. ' '
Then General Jones and Colonel
Craft, followed by four others, limped
into town. The general said she
cared nothing about the presence -of
Governor Wilson nor the student
demonstration. What fcfre demanded
and what she obtained within a min
ute after arrival was dinner, bath and
bed. " '. j : . - ' - v". .'

Leader of Expedition Found With
. Hsai Resting on Diary Food Sup
' ply Exhausted Long Before Death
- Came.
'London, Feb. 17. According to ' the
Dally Mail's Christchurch dispatch,
tlie position of the bodies when found
proved that Captain Scott was the last
of the three ccmrades to die. In the
aatarctic di&asterl " Wilson and Bow
ers ware lying dead in their sleeping
bags, but the leader was. seated with
his head leaning back against the
tent pole. In' that position he had
breathed his last, and between his
head' and the tent pole, with his last
feeble gesture, he had placed his diary
with the records of his Journey and
his last message to the public.
Every ounce of food was exhausted
long before death came to Scott's par
ty. Only a small quantity of tea was
found with the bodies. Possibly an
expedition will be sent for the bodies
next summer. A memorial cross to
Scott, 'Wilson and Bowers was erected
on Observation HilL
Members of the expedition Indicate
the possibility of disappointment at
Amundsen forestalling them took the
orVe out of Scott's party for the re
turn' Journey
"First, the party was delayed by the
illness of Seaman Evans," Commander
Evans states, "and Captain Scott dates
the beginning of the failure of Evans
from the time of reaching the pole.
For ;a: month after the pole was left
behind Evans delayed the party. In
the descent of a glacier he fell and
suffered a concussion, making the
anxiety ; regarding) him even greater.
His r final collapse earner on Feb. 17.
After Evans'": death the party pushed
on, but once", again' the condition of
one member ; of the' party (Oates)
caused delay." '
Commander Evans again states that
this failure to maintain a higher speed
was-due to the falling condition of
poor Captain Oates, who was a con
stant tax on the energies of the party
and was rapidly weakening thera. Dr.:
Atkinson, one of - the search party,
found traces of scurvy on the three
dead men.
The1, puzzling problem In connection
with the disaster Is the strange phrase
in Captain Scott's dramatic: message
reading: "There has been' a shortage
of fuel; for which I cannot account."
.New light is thrown on the mystery
Jty t Commander- Evans. , the successor
InT command, of the ' expedition. In a
lor cable message from New Zealand
to the Daily impress. He . describes
In : detail7 the 'Unal dash to the south
poleasd explains that the shortage of
fu;l was due to the failure of the par
ty; to keep up he average spe! ex
pected on the return Journey."
VNlne miles a day was the average4j. Brennan, for twenty-two years a

retords left by the dead heroes show
the average was much below thia, fall
