Advises Against Any Half Way Meas
 urea.

Jackson, Miss. Dec. Ex-Governor Vardaman today made the opening speech at the Cotton and Corn carni- val.
 After welcoming the visitors he branched off into politics and made a very sensational utterance. In touch ing on the attitude that southern rem resenatives should assume in their fight against the reduction of southern representation, the governor said:
 And instead of going to the congress of the U. s. and saying that there is no distinction made In Mississippi be- cause of color or previous condition of servitude. tell the truth and say this: We tried for many years to live in Mississippi and share sovereignty and dominion with the negro, and we saw our institution crumbling, we saw the public funds squandered. we saw the civilization that our forefathers had fought for passinw away, and the law of being the first law. we observed 1t We rose in the mai. esty and highest type of Anglo Saxon manhood and took the reins of gover- ment out of hands of carpet bagger and the negro, and. so help us God, from now on we will never share any sover- eighty or dominion with him again."
 The remarks of the governor have created a sensation. They are diame- trically opposed to those views of ml- nority leader, congressman John sharp williams of this district

COTTON GROWERS ACT.

Farmers Are Advised to Hold staple.
 Shreveport, La. Dec. 12.--Immediate- Iy after the adjournment of the Ma ticnal Boil weevil Association here to- night, a mass meeting of cotton grow CTS was held to take action with regard to the present low price of cotton. Over two-thirds of the delegates to the convention were in attendance. Harvey P Jordan of Georgia, President of the Southern Cotton Growers Asso- c:ation. presided and made a speech which was favorably received. He said the people of the South are facing a crisis in the low prices offered for cotton and he advocated a movement to check in a measure at least the pres ent declining price and adopt ways and means for some united basis of action to that end. A resolution was offered to the meeting advising farmers to hold their product for higher prices, but before action was taken a motion to adjourn until tomorrow night was favorably acted upon.

New York. Dec. 12.--Ers. sCassfe l.. Chadwick was overwhelmed by the 1o- velopments of her case in 0leveIaoA today and the statement was mstle hy one close to her that she would broha-s ply give up tho light here and return custody of United States ofylcers.
 She did not anticipate the double ln- dictment which was found agafnst her by the Cuyahoga County grand jury after the failure of tho Lorain County action.
 Mrs. Chadwick is of the opinion thnk If she must face these charges she win be far better off in her home city of Cleveland than in New York. It ia known that her counsel. however. strongly advised against this course Of procedure but Mrs. Chadwick insists that she be given free rein.
 In case this plan is carried out Mrs. Chadwick will notify United Staten Commissioner Shields tomorrow. through counsel. of her desire to waive examination and go to Cleveland with out further formality. Mir. Shields will then sign the necessary papers and deliver them to United States Marshal Henkel who will personally take the woman to Cleveland on the earliest available train.
 Philip Carpenter of her counsel when questioned tonight on the matter said:
 T think 1t possible that Mrs. Chad wick may go to Cleveland tomorrow or Wednesday,, He refused to discusa the indictments found against hfs client in Cuyahoga County. He simply said: Mrs. Chadwick Is not fearful of the result. She is entirely innocent of any crime."
 Mfr. Carpenter was shown the inter- view of the Associated Press with Dr. Chadwick today in Paris and was ask- ed concerning several of the features brought out. but declined to discuss the matter in any of it's phases.
 It was said at the residence of An. drew carneEfe tonight that he would be unable to go to Cleveland. to testtfy In the Chadwick case owing to illness. Mr. Carnegie is indisposed with an at tack of lumbago and his physician Is of the opinion that 1t would not be ad- visable for Mir. Carnegie to take the trip.
 One of Mir .Carnegie's secretaries said tonight that satisfactory arrangements have been made to that end with the United States District Attorney H. L.. Burnett.
 Mrs. Chadwick spent most of today interviewing attorneys. She saw her own counsel. Messrs. Carpenter and Powers, several times and she also had a long talk with George Ryall. attorney for Herbert D. Newton of Brookline. Mass.
 Mrs. Chadwick seems to be enjoying the best of health now and that she will be in good condition to meet the legal complications in Cleveland.
