NEW VkRDAMAN SENSATION
Mississippi's Governor Doesn't Be-
lieye in Working Under Cover.
lie Declares That Southcrnrrs VIII
Never Again share Sovereignty
with the NcgrO.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. li.-Gov. Var
daman made the opening speech at the
Cotton and Corn carnival. After well
coming the visitors, he branched OF
into politics and created as much stir
as usual In touching on the attitudes
that southern representatives should
assume in their fight against reduction
of the southern representation, the
governor said:
And instead of going to the con
gress of the United States and saying
that there is no distinction made In
Mississippi because of color or preyi-
Gus condition of seryitude, tell the
truth and by this:
I'VE tried for many years TO live In
Mississippi and share sovereignty ana
dominion with the negro, and we saw
our institutions crumbling; we saw the
public funds squandered; we saw the
civilization that our forefathers had
fought for passing away, and the law
of self-preservation being the first law,
we observed it. We rose in the majes-
ty and highest type of Anglo-SaXon
manhood and took the reins of gov
ernment out Of the hands Of the car
pet-bagger and negro, and so help us
God, from now on we will never share
any sovereignty or dominion with
him again"
The remarks of the governor created
amazement in that they are diametri-
cally opposed to the views of the min
orty leader, Congressman John Sharp
Williams, of this district

AN ATTEMPTED

Excitement over the Fate OF
Ships at Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 13.-An attempt
to assassinate Col. Kisljakowski, chief
of police of Odessa was made Mon
day.
The chief was walking on Gufti
Preobraschen street when he was
struck a blow on the head with an
iron-knobbed stick.
He was taken to a Jewish hospital,
which happened 10 be nearest, and is
in a dangerous condition. His assail-
ants escaped.
Naval officials here are excited over
a proposition to raise the sunken Port
Arthur fleet, and put it in commission
again before the end of the war.
From all reports, several of the war
ships are not damaged beyond repair,
If only they can be raised, and if Ad-
mral Rodjestvensky should succeed in
making the trip to Port Arthur, it is
thought there is a chance that the
ships may be brought to the surface,
The only news of interest from war
centers is an account Of an attack
upon the Russian battleship Sevasto-
pol by the Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers. The account says the de-
stroyers inflicted severe damage on
the larger craft.
A denial comes from Port Arthur,
by way of Che Foo, Of the story that
the Red Cross workers are not prop
crly recognized by the belligerents on
both sides.

Harry A. Faulkner, Former Member
of the St. Louis House of Dele
gates, Must Go to Prison.
SUPREME COURT OF MISSOURI
FINDS NO FLAW IN SECOND TRIAL.
HIS Sentence of Five Years - the
penitentiary, Therefore, stands
The Case Of Louis A. bec@e''
Convicted of Bribery, demanded
for New Trial

st. Louis, Dec. l4.-The conviction
of Harry A. Faulkner, former member
of the house of delegates, on the
charge of perjury was affirmed by the
supreme court at Jefferson City Tues
day morning.
The result of previous aftirmations
has been the immediate removal OF
the convicted men to the penitentlary,
Faulkner's sentence was five years in
the penitentiary. He secured a reVer-
sal of his first conviction in the su-
preme court, and On his second trial
was again convicted.
The case of Louis A. Decker, con-
yicted of bribery, who received a hVe-
Years sentence, was remanded for new
trial.
Both cases are outgrowths of the
Suburban franchise Doodle scandal,
Faulkner was convicted OF falsely teS-
tifving before the grand jury that he
knew nothing about the case.
Faulkner must now go to the peni-
Tertiary.
Faulkner was a member OF the house
of delegates combine, and was accused
Of being mixed up in both the Suhur-
ban and city lighting deals. He was
indicted for bribery, and in the litlga-
ton which followed was accused OF
perjury and indicted on this charge.
The charge Of perjury was tried
first, and Faulkner was found guilty
and given three-year sentence.
He took an appeal to the supreme
court and the case was reversed and
| remanded on the Bonner decision con
cerning afildayts.
The case against Faulkner was again
tried in St. Louis, and he was again
convicted.
Again he appealed to the supreme
court and the court has affirmed the
decision of the lower court and Faulk-
ner will have to serve his sentence.
The charge of bribery still stands
against him, and may be resurrected
when he serves his three years SEN
| lence.
Decker will be tried again in st.
| Louis as soon as the informations
against him can be corrected according
to the Bonner decision, and the case
can be docketed.
