Why We Say Red letter DAYS =

The phrase "red letter day." which
means day that stands out in our
life as happy and delightful one,
originated several hundred years ago.
In almanacs, saints days and holidays
used to be printed in red ink to mark
them off from other days. From this
custom came the expression.

SEN. SMITH SHY
Of CA. POLITICS
Keeps His Word, Apparently,
Not to Mix in Contest for
GovernorShip.

From out d mass-and, perhaps.
mess-of speculation and political
dope" concerning the gubernatorial
contest one definite idea apparently has
arisen to Ak itself firmly and distinctly
in the minds of a lot of people, and
that is that Senator Hoke Smith really
and truly meant it when several weeks
ago, he sent out the word from Wash
ington that he desired to take no hand
whatsoever in state politics in Georgia
this summer, and that he would not
under any circumstances.
If the senator has played any part
in the various efforts to get this, that
and the other candidate into the field
against Slaton and Hall, he has sue
ceeded astonishingly well in keeping 1t
thoroughly dark.
AS a matter of fact. mighty few peo-
pie believe. in the light of recent events,
Senator Smith has given aid and COM
fort, or even encouraging suggestion,
to any one of the numerous near can
didates for the governorship recently
discussed.
Then Hudson Withdrew.
1t was not long after Senator Smith
announced his determination to play
"nands off" this summer that Thomas
G. Hudson withdrew from the guber-
Material contest. Following Hudson's
withdrawal. there was talk of Gambler,
and Fielder, and Covington and Hard
wick. all Hoke Smith men, so-called.
But as each boom arose f1ourished a
brief season, and collapsed, and still
there came no definite word from the
Washington senatorial sphynx. The
tumult and the shouting died-and
things wound up right where they
started with Slaton and Hall lone con-
testants for gubernatorial honors.
1t is not-and no one is so foolish
as to suspect otherwise-that the sena-
tor disapproves of Jack Slaton or Joe
Hill Hall less, but that he disapproves

1t is generally agreed that Senator
Smith might have made-and still
might make-if he so elected, opposi-

but strenuous
But as time runs on, and no oppo-

CAR BANDIT KILLS
POLICE
Posse of Officers and Citizens
Pursues Negro Desperate.
Many Arrests Made.

MEMPHIS, TENN, June 21-
Posses of police and citizens are to-
day securing the south end of Mem
phis in search of Charles Gaines, a
negro bandit, who early today killed
Patrolman J. M. Taylor in a battle
between police and negroes. A wagon
load of negroes, rounded up by the po-
lice, is being held for investigation. A
dozen officers are engaged in the man
hunt, while the entire police depart
ment is keeping a lookout for Gaines.
Following the hold-up of a street car
recently, the police have been search
ing for Gaines and his accomplices.
With three other negroes, he was To-
Gated early today in house in the ne
gro quarter of South Memphis. A de-
tail of officers, led by Sergeant Nc
Auliffe, surrounded the house and de-
manded the surrender of the quartet.
Charles Berry, special officer of the
Memphis Street Railway Company, was
sent to the back door to order the ne
groes out. They refused to come The
officers threatened to burn the house.
Then two of the negroes came out with
hands up.
In the meantime Patrolman Taylor
had gone around the house from the
opposite side. Shots were heard from
the rear and Taylor came staggering
back to his fellow officers. He got
me-, said Taylor as he dropped dead.
He was shot through the heart. Officer
Berry had taken refuge behind an out
house.
The negro slayer was out of sight,
having made his getaway, after shoot
ing Taylor, before Sergeant McAuliffe
and his men could reach the rear Of
the building.
A riot call sent to police headquar-
tiers brought patrol wagon load of Of
ficers and the man hunt was on in ear
nest. 1t was not long before the Off
GERS had regained the trail of Gaines
and the chase was kept up for hours.
Twice the negro fired on the police as
they closed up on him. and each time
succeeded in Guiding them.

ONE TITANIC BOAT
TOOK OFF ONLY 5
Survivor Saw Craft Lowered
When Fifty More Might
Have Been Saved.

LONDON, May 16.-Another pathet-
ic chapter was today added to the story
of human sacrifice in the Titanic dis
aster when an employee of the lost
White Star liner testified at the gov
ernment's inquiry that he had seen one
lfeboat lowered containing only five
passengers. These lifeboats, according
pto previous evidence. could accommo-
date from fifty to seventy persons in
calm sea such as prevailed off the
Newfoundland banks when the Inflated
steamer plunged to the bed of the At
lanttc.
bathroom attendant on the Titanic
named Rule testified that he had seen
the practically empty lifeboat lowered
away He did not know who had given
the order to lower the boat but he
thought it was an officer. on cross ex-
animation Rule pleaded at times that
he could not remember, saying the dis
aster had affected his memory This
brought him sharp rebuke from Lord
Mersey, the presiding judge, who said.
Il can understand how the dis
aster could affect your memory but can
not understand how you could remem-
Der things which did not happen"
This was an allusion to vague and
contradictory testimony which Rule had
given on direct eXamina ton.
Answering questions by Thomas
Scanlon, attorney for the National
Sailors and Fremen's union. Rule said
he had seen J. Bruce Ismay, managing
director of the International Mercantile
Marine, owners Of the White Star line,
on the boat deck helping fill ifeboat
No. on the starboard side. He had
not seen lsmay leave the ship.
Picked Up Mo False Report.
Rule followed Wireless Operator Dur
rant, of the Canadian steamer Mount
Temple, on the stand Questioned by
Attorney elem Edwards, representing
the Dock Workers union, Durrant testi
fed that he did not pick UP any wire
less messages on April 3 to the effect
that the Titanic was proceeding to Hal
flax and that all her passengers had
been rescued.
This was the first inquiry into that
phase of thesd disaster relating to the dis
semnation of falls Conformation regard
ing the fate Of the ship and her passen-
gers.
John Hart a third class steward on
said that he thought so lightly of the
accident that he went to sleep again
after he learned the vessel had col
lided with an iceberg. Later, when
aroused to the gravity Of the situa ton,
he went on deck and helped TO get the
passengers into the lifeboats.
