Brack Ismay Lives An Outcast.
§ Castello, Galway Bay, Ireland.
—Where is Bruce Ismay?
For two years the steamship
corporation official, who drew
the criticism of the world after
the sinking of the Titanic, has
been missing from the places
that used to know him, says the
Detroit Tribune
The captain of the lost liner
went down with his ship, the
first mate ended his broken life,
and Bruce Ismay, making his
way into a lifeboat and to the
deck of the rescue ship Carpa
thia, sailed to safety.
Then of a sudden he disap
peared. Rumor whispered that
his one-time friends avoided
him, that club committees desir
ed his resignation, even that his
mind had failed under the terri
ble strain.
Englishmen have scant sym
pathy for a coward. Few men
would be willing to live the life
that Bruce Ismay saved from
the sea. No longer a steamship
magnate, no longer a Beau
Brummel in Belgravia, the ques
tion of his whereabouts assumed
the significance of a mystery.
Meantime the lost director
was*living in a remote house on
a place known as the Heel of the
See.
The loneliest road in Ireland J

long the shore of Galway Bay-!
Sheer moor, quite treeless, bleak
beyond words, hardly a stone |
cabin in sight, and no path but
the straight mail road.
In the heart of this Irish wil
derness a solitary lodge shows
white against its surrounding
patch of green. A locked gate
forbids entrance. Sheumas, the
old sidecar driver, flourishes an
accusing whiplash through the
teeming rain.
“Look, there where he hides
Never a gentleman have I
brought here but was turned
away from the very door. Mo
ney he has and all that money
will ever buy. But he cannot
shake off the memories on his
mind. Day after day he must
hear them—the shrieks of the
drowning men crying down the
wind. This is his curse. What
he did will be remembered until
the Titanic is forgotten.
*
“Lonely enough the place is.
He little thought we would know
him—we that stood round the
Marconi masts at Clifton wait
ing a long week for a word from
across the sea- Cast your eye
about this place, bog and moor
and fields of stone. I have seen
men and women here, decent,
civil people, blue with hunger
and starved with cold. But not'
not one of them all, old or
young, would change places with 1
the man who lives in that lodge.

Kills Proposed Bank Act.
Special to Independent
Little Rock, Aug. 12.—Chan
cellor J. E. Martineau Tuesday '
afternoon granted an injunction
against Secretary of State Earle
W. Hodges, restraining him
from certifying out the Bank
Guaranty Act. The attack up
on the measure was made by
the Arkansas Bankers Associa
tion, using the name of the state
as plaintiff.
The decision was based upon
the sufficiency of the signatures.
The court held that of the 15,
800 signatures, there were about
5,800 that were irregular or
fraudulent. He declared that a
man must be a legally qualified
elector before he is authorized
to sign an Initiative peti
tion; that a man who is not
sufficiently interested n his state
to pay his poll-tax should not be
permitted to exercise any power
in the making of laws for the
government of the people.
The Miners’ Qualification was
next taken up and it will be dis
posed of within the next few
days
The publication the Bank
Guaranty and Miners Qualifica
tion Acts has cost the state a
total of $11,652.50, the Bankers
Guaranty costing $91 per coun
ty, and the Miners Qualification
$64-50 per county. Under the
proposed publicity act, No. 3, to
be voted on September 14, the
cost would have been about $7,
500.

First State-Wide Primaries In
Ohio.
United Press Dispatch.
Columbus, Ohio, August 11. —
Eyes of politicians throughout
the country were turned to
wards Ohio today when voters
cast their ballots in the first
[state-wide primaries in the his
tory of the state. The national
aspect of today’s primaries is
due to former United States Sen
ator Joseph Foraker of Cincin
nati, who seeks to “come back”
■as a candidate for the Republi
can nomination for United States
! Senator. Foraker’s candidacy
'makes the republican senatorial
fight stand out in national prom
inence- He is opposed by Warren
C. Harding of Marion, former
i lieutenant governor, and Ralph
D. Cole of Findlay, former Con-,
I gressman.
The questions, “Can Foraker
come back” and “Can he efface
the memory of the Standard Oil
letters ?” are being asked by ev
ery politician. He made his
fight as an out-and-out stand
patter of the old school. Hard
ing always had been^a strong
supporter of Foraker. He en
tered the race after a conference
with the former Senator. Cole
made his fight as a protection
ist.
In the Democratic Senatorial
field are: Attorney General
Timothy S- Hogan, running on
his record in office; former Con
gressman John J. Lontz of Col
umbus, who advocates govern
ment ownership of telegraph
lines; and John L- Zimmerman,
of Springfield.
Two warm gubernatorial cam
paigns were waged. uovernor
James M. Cox, seeking renomi
nation, is opposed by Congress
man J. J. White, who attacked
Cox as “the builder of the great
est political machine in the
history of the state”.
In the republican field are
B. Willis, former Congressman,
of Ada, and David Todd, of
Youngstown, former state sena
tor. Lots of their speeches have
been featured by denunciation of
the democratic administration.
A. L. Garford, candidate for
the Progressive nomination for
Senator, was not opposed in the
primaries today.
