CRIPPLED SHIP 15 3MONTHSATSEA Japanese Fishing Smack Drifts to Coast of California—Crew Is Arrested. SAN DIEGO. I'AL, July 20— Blown off the coast of by a typhoon thiS'e months ago, caught in the Jap anese current and trade winds and swept more than 7,000 miles across the Pacific, the junk Sumlyoshi Maru brought its crew of five Japanese through winter's cold, summer's heat, sunshine and storm until its barnacle covered, waterlogged hull began sink ing and its lateen sails flew in shreds, to the south California coast near En cihitas, 35 milea north of San Diego, Thursday night. Today the Japanese are prisoners of the Federal govern ment. With all hope of proceeding farther in their sinking ship gone, the five sail ors fook to their one small boat and made their way to shore. There they fell into the hands of the immigration authorities. The shipwrecked foreign ers were making their way toward Es condido when overtaken and arrested by immigration inspectors. They were brought to San Diego and placed in prison on the charge of being illegally in this country. A report of the capture was sent to Washington and pending advices from the department of commerce and labor the Japanese will be held as prisoners. Blown Out to Sea. The junk was on a fishing cruise, bound from Yokohama to Hakodate, when caught in the typhoon and blown to sea. When the wind abated the Sumlyoshi was 1,000 miles south of Yokohama. 1.500 miles from its desti nation. and in the grip of the Jap anese current. The junk was carried east nearly 4,000 miles It crossed the equator off the Central American coast, and was then blown 1.500 miles up the American coast by northerly winds Captain Yo shida sighted Honolulu early in June, but was carried south of the Hawaiian group. Several pounds of food were left when the shipwrecked mon landed. Their water supply gave out five days before.

Mr. Lee has had opposition every time before this, and it must seem to him that the present situation is just about too good to be true. When he was first elected, ‘‘Rufe'’ Hutchens disputed things with him, then Judge Fite undertook tq put him out of business, the third time he ran Walter Akerman endeavored to de tach his scalp, and the last time he ran Mose Wright essayed the job. Having weathered all these strenu ous gales political, Gordon Lee event ually may reach a point of view en tertained by’ a lot of his constituents for a long time, and that is that there Isn't any use trying to put him out of congress without his own consent, any way. In the laaf presidential and congres sional race in Georgia, Mr. Lee’s dis trict went for Taft Republicanwise by about the same majority that it went for Lee Democraticwise. This time, however, the Seventh is going for Wilson and Lee. Mr. Tillman complains that whereas he was once called a wild man. he is now dubbed a reaction ary. Perhaps the senator merely has grow n to be a bit old-fashioned in his ways. There were distributed among the members of the house yesterday a num ber of copies of former Congressman William H. Fleming’s argument favor ing the proposed amendment to the Federal constitution providing for pop ular election of United States senators, published originally in The Augusta Chronicle. Regardless of whether they' agree with Mr. Fleming’s ideas as set forth therein—and many do—legislators gen erally are not at all backward in pro nouncing his article a fine argument in favor of the proposition. It is schol arly, fair and persuasive—such an ar ticle as could have come only from a man of serious and patriotic impulses and trend of thought. Mr. Fleming undertakes considera tion of the famous Bristow amendment, so-called, in calmness and dispassion. He presents a splendid brief In favor of the amendment as it stands, and as it has been indorsed by the national 1 Democratic convention. A Georgia statesman accuses the senate of passing a bill recently that is rankly unconstitutional from three points of view. It might be very well if a lot of the bills it passes dissect that way, perhaps. The Hon Joe Hill Hall went up to Rome Thursday, to be a. guest of honor at the Merchants and Manufacturers anm.al barbecue and jollification. He | wa. the center of an interested group ■ f noble Romans during bis entire stay. 1 and they do say he made a most favor able impression. Last night he addressed a large I gathering of citizens in the Floyd coun- THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1912. ty court house, and made many friends. Colonel J. Lindsay Johnson, editor of The Rome Tribune-Herald, is support ing Mr. Hall in his race for the gov ernorship. One Georgia exchange calls it the “dictagraft.” which isn’t so bad, either! The bill to force the railroads to pull mileage in Georgia slipped through the senate Thursday as if things had been greased for its passage, After all the argument pro and con that has ben indulged in with respect to that measure, one would have thought somebody might have been depend ed upon to start a row on the floor when it came to a third reading, but there was nothing whatever doing in the rowing business. However, one never can tell. The senate passed a bill unanimously the other day, which provided that rail roads in Georgia might furnish Con federate veterans free passes, if they desired, and the house knocked it into a cocked hat via the railroad commit tee. which sent It back with a recom mendation that it do not pass. There Is a big split in the Georgia “bull moose” party, but why should prospective Georgia Democratic postmasters be expected to weep bitter tears because of that? About the hardest thing to figure out in Georgia politics nowadays is who is who in the railroad commissionership races. There are three of the present mem bers up for re-election—Commissioners Gray, Trammell and Hillyer. Disposed to dispute with these gen tlemen are James J. Flynt, \V Trox Bankston, Charles Jackson Shipp, J. H, MacGehee and S. Guyt McLendon. Under the rules of the state Demo cratic executive committee, each can didate is required to say specifically w hich incumbent he opposes. So far, only Mr. Flynt has announced formally with respect to that, and he designates Paul B. Trammell as the official to whose seat he aspires. Mr. McLendon, it is said, will op pose Judge Hillyer. and Mr. Shipp. Mr. Gray. These various contests will mix things up magnificently in dear old Georgia this year. ARMY ORDERS WASHINGTON.

The con gregation of Broad Street Methodist church announces that beginning next week a new edifice, to cost SB,OOO or SIO,OOO, will be erected. The present church building will be torn down and the hew building erected in a different ■■art of the city. « BOARD MCE A PUZZLER Hand of Tom Watson Seen in Entry of Flynt Against Trammell. The entrance of James J. Flynt in the railroad commissioner race spe cifically against Commissioner Paul B. Trammell, following the announcement of Colonel S. Guyt McLendon specifical ly against Commissioner George Hill yer, has set many political tongues a-wagging. Only a few days back, Judge Flynt was a prospective candidate against Commissioner Hillyer, and Colonel Mc- Lendon was an announced candidate for the United States senate against Mr. Bacon. A more or less sudden shifting of the cards has changed all of that, and not a few who keep an ear close to the ground are asking why. More than one observer of events and things, who also is able to put an Occasional two and two together in such wise that they unmistakably make four, see in this lightning change of attitudes upon the part of Judge Flynt and Colonel McLendon the fine Italian hand of Thomas E. Wat son, “the red-headed person” from McDuffie, and the sometimes Warwick of Georgia politics. Mr. Watson recently has had many kind words to say of both Judge Flynt and Colonel McLendon. He would like to see both of these men put upon the railroad commission, as, no doubt, would many other people. Unques tionably. he will support them with all the vim and vigor of his nature. Hillyer a Hoke Smith Man. Moreover, while Mr. Watson would delight to elect Colonel McLendon, he would particularly delight to elect him as a rebuke to his ancient enemy, Hoke Smith; for Senator Smith, when gov ernor, summarily dismissed Colonel McLendon from the railroad commis sion. and Commissioner Hillyer has been known generally as a Hoke Smith man. And. again. Paul B. Trammell also was identified with the Hoke Smith faction rather closely in the past, and holds his commission now by vir tue of Governor Smith’s appointment at the time Judge Warne;- Hill was ele vated to the supreme bench. Wherefore, if the sage of Thomson can stack the cards against both Hill yer and Trammell, Hoke Smith men. and each, therefore, persona non grata in Watson's political household, why isn't it good business, from the Watson viewpoint ? This may be good politics, from the Watson viewpoint say the friends of Ttammell and Hillyer. but It Is not overwhelmingly brilliant politics from the viewpoint of those who have been disposed to accept in good faith the overtures of the Brown-Slaton people in the matter of doing away with fac tional lines in the primary next month ami the elevation of Mr. Slaton to the governorship as a non-factional candi date and general all-around peace maker. A Cry of Peace? If Mr Watson, as a. leader in the Brown-Slaton ranks, is to make open and specific warfare on ceriain men. more particularly because they are Hoke Smith men than because there is any objection to them, what shall the Hoke Smith men, disposed to be peace ful and serene, do about that? Already a number of Hoke Smith partisans are saying that there are certain loud-voiced Brown-Slaton nier bellowing "Peace" from the house tops, the while their emissaries and gum shoe lieutenants are down in the dark of th" cellar undertaking to put un pleasant thing- over on the unsuspect ing Smithites. •-.,■** wMMw&z' v x '■ ?

Mrs. Guerin while at the Imperial hotel with her husband. Joseph A. Gue rin, president of the Dorchester bank at Summerville. She said she saw some dress pins, cuff pins and cuff buttons which she liked very much. She made a selection that totaled $4.25. Taking that amount out of her purse, she put it on the counter, she said, and asked the sales woman if she might take them without waiting to have them wrapped. The saleswoman answered in the affirma tive. she declared. After Mrs; Guerin left the store the detective accosted her.
