her Away that the safety Of lives and
property was the chief aim.

NO INTENTION OF TAKING GREW

II think there has been an awful mis-

the reason at all. As far as the crew
are concerned. Il was our duty to retdrn
them to their homes. II they were per-

attempt on our part to spirit away any
member OF the crew. to the best OF my
knowledge and belief. What possible
harm could those men do us in an In

than the passengers, many Of them prob

Most emphatioaily." answered Mr..
Franklin. "On last Friday Mr.. Ismay
authorized that all our vessels be equip
ped with boats and RATS sufficient to
take of every passenger and every
member Of the crew in case Of acci-
dent"
Q. DO you kxow OF any ous, any

TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS MEET.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. t5.-The
regular wing of the Democratic party
expect to deliver a blow at the tenn.
perance legislation during the session
of the State convention which opened
here today. The nomination of Ben
ton McMillin in the Democratic CUB
ernatorial primary is said to mean
that as much as it means an effort
to get the warning factions of the
party in this state together. Under
the platform to be adopted the con-
vention will declare for local option
in larger cities and it would not re-
quire much to have a plank adopted
declaring against the manufacturers
law, which prevents the making of
liquor in the state.
AS the Republican platform is so
strong on the question of prohibition,
the Democrats may rest with the re-
peal of the statewide law so far as
it applies to Nashville, Memphis and
Chattanooga and fight it out with the
Republicans on that line. There is
no doubt, however, that the old
whiskey question will be the para
mount issue in the campaign this year
and the lines will be strictly drawn
between the temperance. people and
the anti-prohibitionists. The Demo-
cratic nominee and his friends declare
that they will be backed by the ex-
pressed views of Governor Wilson,
the Democratic nominee for President
While the Governor has said that he
will not interfere with local distur-
Dances in the states where the Demo
Gratis are at war with themselves, he |
has expressed himself privately as
favoring the local option idea. AS
his popularity is great among the
Democrats of Tennessee,
he fact that he favors local option
nay attract that class to the Demo
,raic nominee for Governor in No
'ember.
