SEN. SMITH SHY OF OH. POLITICS Keeps His Word, Apparently, Not to Mix in Contest for Governorship. From out a mass—and, perhaps, a speculation and political "dope” concerning the gubernatorial contest, one definite idea apparently has arisen to fix 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 sefit 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 suc ceeded astonishingly well in keeping it thoroughly dark. As a matter of fact, might}' few' peo ple 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 dldates for the governorship recently discussed. Then Hudson Withdrew. It was not long after Senator Smith announced his determination to play "Hands off” this summer that Thomas G. Hudson withdrew from the guber natorial contest. Following Hudson’s withdrawal, there was talk of Candler, and Felder, and Covington, and Hard wick. all Hoke Smith men, so-called. But as each boom arose, flourished 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. It 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 of a partisan squabble now consider ably more. The senator has troubles of his own sceduled for the next state primary, when he presumably will seek the Democratic nomination to succeed him self, and he is not going out of his way to “start something” this summer. Entries Simmer Down to Two. It is generally agreed that Senator Smith might have made —and still might make —if he so elected, opposi tion to Slaton and Hal! not only sure, but strenuous. • But as time runs on, and no oppo sition appears, the idea is becoming firmly fixed that he meant it absolutely when he issued his ultimatum, some six ' weeks back, that he w'ould take no hand in state politics this summer. The gubernatorial race has simmer ed down to Slaton and Hall—and it has simmered down to stay.

Essig Bros. Co. “Correct Dress for Men” 26 WHITEHALL STREET GAR BANDIT GILLS WMLIGE Posse of Officers and Citizens Pursues Negro Desperado. Many Arrests Made. MEMPHIS, TENN., June 21. Posses of police and citizens are to day scouring 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 lo cated early today in a house in the ne gro quarter of South Memphis. A de tail of officers, led by Sergeant Mc- 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 ters brought a patrol wagon load of of ficers and the man hunt was on In ear nest. It was not long before the offi cers 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 orj him. and each time succeeded in eluding them.
