All dredged places call for more or less attention unless they are rock cut and even then there are settings if currents are slack.

The other day when the U. S. s. s. Cedar was slowly steaming into port she grounded on the gravel and sand close to the Standard Oil dock. The tide was food ing at the time and the ship was soon free. She ran on the bottom where there was supposed to be a dredged channel. It is probable that this waterway, dredged dur ing the summer of 1926, is rapidly filling. Perhaps some of the fill is a crumbling of the channel walls into the dredged area and some from the shifting sands that take place

The shiny badge wasn't voluntarily atax- ed, it was something of 8 forced put, put anyway it made us police man-a bull. There wasn't a minute of those 120 days that We relished the position, but, at that. it didn't hinder us rom Seeplns our eyes open.
 We learned, from the start, that to be a successful lead blackjack wielder one must pour his con- science into jug and cork 1t up and throw it to one side. One 8 heart had to be scared and friZzled to d mere dried up bit of nothing ness. One had to keep his eyes looking to the right while taking in everything going on at the left Ono had to kowtow to the big-wigs an1 be a glad hand artist with the riff ratf, the scum and the underworld Ones eyes must be tuned down to picking up a needle on the street If a dark night and totally unable to vision anything of bright day. One had to be a st1nker, man of the street and a police court gentle man @. We found out that graft ing was perfectly all right. provid- ing it didn't go beyond the grafter and grattee. One was instructed to leave hands off those of the upper social strata, but to keep the police blotter full with down-and-outers, the night wanderers, the inebriated sailor or logger, the lassies of tho tenderloin, the vags, tie pimps anu the macQues. From the seamy side the money came Those who stepped outside the law, among the upper crust, contributed little or nothing.
 We had so little respect for the job that we tossed it, and since then we have always looked on the aver age "bull", gumshoer. marshal, black night Hitter and uniformed flaw enforcer" as both political bellycrawler and lazy moron. Where ever we have rambled-and we have secuted around considerably-we haven't yet ran across anything to cause change of opinion. Even Petersoula .o 10 exception. Or, rath- CT, the flaw and order force of Petersburg is no exception.
 There have been several very clear illustrations of the above schedule of requirements pulled on before our eyes right here in town. and one of the rawest was the arrest. conviction and jail deal of Tex" Gill;
 We are not dwelling on this mat ter because the victim happens to be Tex himself It might have been any one else in the same cir- cumstances and with no more pull. The whole affair was obnoxiously RAW. Technically. there was no law violated and the arresting force knew it, but they constituted < judge. jury and prosecuting body and sent up a sick and harmless in- divldual for life. We could mention a dozen men off hand right around here who, had they been arrested for the same offense CD really wouldn't have been arrested. Moth ing would have been seen, nothing heard. Everything would have gone on serenely. But Tex" was looked on by the bulls as desirable jail bird. He was without funds, with put any pull from the powers that De and his name on the list of of.

KING To SCRAP
FAMOUS YACHT
BRITANNIA
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
LONDON, March 23.-t3ritannia.
the famous 35-year-old racing cutter
owned by King George, will prob
ably race for the last time this
season.
King George, it is understood.
acting on the advice of his friends,
has decided that the old vessel has
become too feeble to hope to stand
up successfully against the modern
yachts.
The fact that King George al
ways goes aboard her during her
big races has always lent additional
interest to her exploits. Her black
null and raking masts are known
BY every yachtsman.
The present Britannia hardly
carries any more than the name
OF the original vessel. She was
laid down at a time when there
was keen competition between vari-
Gus sporting peers. She proved to
be the best yacht ever owned by a
member of the royal family, and
won hundreds of prizes during the
early days of her career.
In 1903 she was sold by King
Edward to Sir Richard Williams
Bulkeley. commodore of the ex-
elusive Royal Yacht Club. and
well-known yachtsman. The King
afterwards regretted having sold
her, and Sir Richard generously
handed her back
Whether King George will have
another yacht built is not yet
known. 1t is thought the King
will probably purchase one of the
well-known racers, in view of the
fact that the price of building a
new vessel is almost prohibitive.

 That last volley concerned publi- cation of Henin's recent challenge to his party leader. Senator Robinson of Arkansas. to make his religious tolerance speech in Ala abama, and his added declaration that Robinson would be tarred and feathered if he did. The Alabaman explained yes- terday that his statement was made in the heat of debate and that he hadn't meant it.
 He said he had intended to strike that part of his speech from the of- ficial record and added that of course they won't tar and feather Senator Robinson if he goes to Ala bama." He offered to accompany his party chief to Montgomery and into Arkansas for a joint debate on the subject. ...-. 4u., . Swinging full tilt into his attack on Governor Smith and the Roman Catholic church. Senator Hefiin shouted again his warning that the White House must never shelter a Catholic president. and concluded with this defy: Challenge Issued
 He challenged the mayor to run for governor in l93O if he wants to speak for the people of the state. and during the night the challenge was accepted by MT. Gunter. From Mont gomery he sent the senator a telegram announcing his candidacy for delegate at large to the National Democratic convention, and chal- lenging Heflin to do likewise.
 The mayor said the gubernatorial race was too far off" and he pro- posed the earlier test to give the loyal democrats of Ala abama. this op- portunity to speak their views on your efforts to dynamite free speech and free religion out Of the con stitution." Heflin dwelt at length on a telc- gram from citizens of Anniston. Ala. asking Senator Robinson to make a speech there. He said one of the telegram's signers was a lawyer named Willett, who he declared was attorney for Patrick O'Connor. 8 Catholic priest who committed felony at Anniston." Giving the sen ate details of the case, Heflin charged that the priest had killed his own child and almost killed the mother. a married woman. and then had fled to Canada.
 That phase of the speech was re- piled to later by Senator Bruce of Maryland, who said his information came from Catholic sources. He de- nied that O'Connor was guilty and said the priest had fled from Ala bama because he believed a. fair trial impossible because of ku klux klan domination.
 Of Al Smith. Heflin said the gov ernor was more than 3. Tammany- ito; he is a wringing wet. nulli- fer. and a Roman Cstholic.' He cannot be nominated he said.

 His reference, was to the recent action of his democratic colleagues in giving a caucus vote of confidence in tho leadership of Robinson. who had rebuked Heflin for his antl- Catholic tirades.
 Parading. a new string of targets to receive his verbal shot and shell. Heflin attacked the Montgomery Ad- vertiser. which recently editcrially declared for Governor Smith. He said that during the World war the German allies and brewers furnish ed the money to buy it'' and he at- tackled the Birmingham Age-Herald and the Birmingham News as "whiskey sheets" that were afraid to criticize the Catholic church because Of fear of a boycott"
 He attacked also Paul Block. pub fisher of Newark. Toledo and Pitts
  burgh papers. as the ''scoundref in Pittsburgh who printed an attack on Protestants by the Roman Catholics and then refused to publish as news or advertisement the Protestants' reply. The New York. World and Robert Barry. a newspaper corre- spondent. also were assailed.
 A great portion of his fire was re- served by Heflin for Mayor W. A. Gunter of Montgomery. who has in- vited Senator Robinson to make 2 speech in the Alabama capital. lief lin said the mayors sister had mar ried Roman Catholic. whose sister was Mother Superior Semple Of Mexico. and that Gunter's brother had married the sister of a Catholic priest.
