HIS REGULAR STUNT
GOVERNOR DAVIS OF ARKANSAS
 CREATES SENSATION.
Calls Down Chief Executive of Ne- braska for Referring in Speech to "sectiOnaI Issues Long
 Since Dead"

Galveston, April 22.-At today's ses- sion of the Northern Settlers Conven- tion adresses were made by Robert Lindsey of Nacogdoches on tobacco In eastern Texas; Governor A. B. Cum mins of Iowa on Texas; Governor Mickey of Nebraska on "The Great West" J. H. Hunter, a banker and stockman of Springfield, Ills, on "The Contrast Between the North and South" Professor J. H. Cornell of Dal- las, on Opportunities of Texas" Hon. J. W. Higgins of Texas on The Rail- roads and the Farmers" Hon, Norman c. Kittrell, of Houston on What the Railroads are Doing"
 Resolutions were adopted strongly recommending Texas and Louisiana to prospective settlers.
 Permanent organization was effected with Frank P. Holland of Dallas as president and a long list of vice. presi- dents and c. c. RousselI of Houston as secretary. San Antonio was chosen as the meeting place next year.
 The feature of the afternoon session was the address of Governor Jefferson Davis of Arkansas, which was con sidered sensational in part. In his address during the morning session Governor Mickey of Nebraska observed that his last trip to the South was during the Civil War and he adverted to the fact that in his own State he has many friends who are veterans of both sides.
 Governor Davis took this reference of Governor Mickey to the civil war as his cue during his address in the af- ternoon. He said In substance that he considered 1t a breach of good taste for the Governor of Nebraska to come here and discuss sectional issues long since dead; that he thought this sub ject should be approached In gum shoes and that in every patriotic Southern heart there was a shrine ded- icated to the lost cause During this period of Governor Davis's address the silence was tense and 1t was only re- Iieved when he passed to other mat ters.
 At the conclusion of his address Governor Davis was greeted with rro- longed applause and as he went down the aisle an impromptu reception was accorded him. He passed through the crowd to the cruiser Galveston, which vessel fired a salute of seventeen guns in hls honor. He will leave the city tomorrow to return to Arkansas.
 Governor Cummins left tonight for Iowa and Governor Mickey will leave tomorrow for Nebraska.
