Rather dismayed by the sight, Payn-
tur was about t. leave, when Most,
seeing in him a prospective victim,
siezed him and seated him at a table
where three young men were engaged
in playing old maid with queer looking
cards with red and black marks. Fear
ing violence, Payntur concealed his
identity and entered into the game.
Fortunately most of the company
were strongly under the influence OF
the soda pop, the floor being covered
with great heaps of empty bottles.
When they finally staggered of to their
rooms upstairs, Payntur hid behind
the bar, and later sneaked into MOsts
private Office.
The secret panel was as he had
dreamed. Within was a large chest.
As the occupants of the den were now
strewn about the floor sleeping on
the effects of their revel, he had no
trouble in calling a transfer man and
in loading the chest into his wagon.
The driver neglected to fasten the
back end of his wagon and as he
was going up Broadway the chest
was bumped out when the wagon ran
into a ditch where men were excavat-
ing to find the paving. The cover
was broken off and the contents.

of them broke on the dirt road.
An immense crowd Of prominent
citizens Immediately gathered to as

Columbia's police force was to the
fore and got more than any n else.
The bottles were saved for evidence.
In time the matter came to the ears
of Chief of Police John l.. Whitewash.

his terrible experience. will be the
chief witness for the state.

impressed that he dressed and rushed
down the street to the Young Mems

daytime he would o have dared to
risk his reputation by being seen to
enter the place. but the streets were
deserted. C%olumbia's police force was
engaged in cheerful repartee with the
proprietor of a downtown restaurant;
so he entered cautiously.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
PRESIDENT TAFT AND HIS ATTI-
tube TOWARD THE CATH
OLIC CHURCH.

To the Editor of The Catholic Bull
letin:
Dear Sir:
For some time past certain organs
have been trying to arouse the preju-
dice of non-Catholics by insisting that
President Taft on various occasions
has unduly favored the Catholic
Church. They have been particularly
fond of repeating that the President
commissioned Major Butt to Rome
with some mysterious message to the
Pope. This the President, himself,
has formally denied. In connection
with this matter, it might be of inter-
est to your readers to note an edi-
torial in the Independent" New York,
the official Presbyterian organ. The
editor cannot be said to unduly favor
the Catholic Church on any occasion,
and his estimate of this question
should have considerable weight.
"It has been over and over again
asserted as against President Taft
that he has unduly favored the Cath
Ollie Church, and especially it has been
declared that he sent Major Butt to
Rome as a special messenger for some
purpose-it was not exactly clear
what-but with view of getting the
Catholic vote. This last has been
denied, but still has been believed,
and now the President makes form
al denial. He says that Major Butt
went for his own pleasure solely, that
he wished to be presented to the Pope,
and that the President gave him a
simple letter of introduction, nothing
more He then explains his suspension
of the order of Commissioner of In
dian Affairs forbidding the wearing of
religious garb by teachers in Indian
schools, because it was made without
waiting for the decision on the ques-
ton of the Secretary of the Interior,
and it was right the question should
be carefully examined into, as the
order would remove over thirty teach
ers. The President declares that his
desire has been to aid all useful re-
ligious works, but to show partially
to none. Mr.. Taft did not
send Major Butt to see the Pope; he
did not send wireless message of
welcome to the new Apostolic Dele
gate; and he did not concern himself
with the silly question of Cardinalitial
precedence. These denials are abso-
lite and conclusive"
Sincerely yours,
G. J. WALSH.

coWARplcE SHOWN
ON PART OF THE CREW
Rush Was Made For One Of Titanic's
Lifeboats When Crash
Came.

= London, May 11.-That all the
members of the crew of the Titanic on
the night of the disaster did not act
in the manner expected from men OF
their calling, is being slowly drawn
ON, from the witnesses at the British
board of trade inquiry.
1t came out during yesterdays hear
ing that the firemen of the Titanic,
when the water entered their quart
els. raided the third-class saloon for
life preservers. Certsinly, as was
pointed out, they were not needed by
passengers, as the vessel carried only
a small proportion of her complement
of third-class passengers. That i'm
portance is attached to the action OF
the firemen, however, is shown by
the questions put by Lord Mersey as
to how the men reached that part OF
the vessel. From another witness, s.
J. Rule, bathroom steward, it was
also learned that there was a rush
on lifeboat No. 10, and that she left
the Titanic with only four or five
women and three children, while six.
ty.one men got away in her.
Rule said that scouts were sent 20
look for women and children, but Il ey
looked only on one deck, and then re-
turned and said there were no more
there. Then First Officer Murdoch
told the men to fill the boat There
was then rush of men for the boat.

Rule replied: II imagined So.
Then you did not obey the order

II also came out today that the
watertight compartments practically
for three-fourths of the length of the
ship we're opened by order OF the
engineers upward of an hour after
the ship struck, and never were
closed again.
A steward, who was in lifeboat No.
IA, from which all the passengers
were transferred to other boats, No.
IA returning to where the Titanic
sank, said that although the boats
crew rowed about throughout the
night, they found only three people
alive. He admitted on cross-examin'
alton, however, that some of those
in the water might have been alive
but were unconscious and they only
went to those who were crying fol
