WILL ARGUE MOTION
 NEXT SATURDAY
To Dissolve Injunction Re- gently Granted Vardaman
A LENGTHY DOCUMENT
Sweeping Denial Made of Most of the Averrments Contained in Injunc- tion-Denied Proceedings En-
 tered To Annoy Vardaman

Jackson, Miss, December 1s.-(Specia9 The answer and motion to dissolve the injunction granted by Chancellor Lyeli few days since in the case of the state vs. James K. Vardaman, charged with misuse Of state funds. filed late Satur- day afternoon by Judge L. Brame and Attorney General Hudson, is lengthy
 document, and will be argued before Chancellor Lyell next Saturday.
 A sweeping denial is made to most of the averments contained in the injunc- tion, the first showing that Major Varda- man was served with process before Mo- vember % in fact, on November 2l. The defendant was out of town but the dep uty sheriff was directed to leave the sum- mons at the Vardaman residence, as pro- vided by law, but Mr. Watkins, attor- ney for Vardaman, asked that such be not done. and guaranteeing to see that 1t was all right. Judge Brame consented to that through consideration for the family of Major Vardaman. The states attorney declares he believes Major Var daman saw and read the bill of complaint before he returned to Jackson on Novem- Der % It is therefore insisted that Major Vardaman had ample time to file an swer to the bill demanding dispositions before the special commissioner.
 It is denied in the motion to dissolve that these proceedings are entered for the purpose of annoying, harrassing and Major Vardaman, and it is averred that said Vardaman having been reported by the legislature of 1910 as short in his ae- counts with several funds, expert ac- countants were put to work to balance his accounts; that every possible obstacle has been placed in his way; that Var daman refused to testify before the &C., eountant; that the records in the gov ernors office are open to his inspee- tion. and that the truth of the matter is Vardaman never kept any accurate ac- counts: that he mixed the state funds with his personal funds, and checked against it promiscuously
 It is insisted in the motion to dis solve that the state of Mississippi IS not a party to this proceeding. and the declaration of the attorneys for Major yardaman that the suit is brought for the purpose of annoying, harassing and humiliating him politically, is declared not true, so far as they, the attorneys for the state are concerned, but they show that this averrment is wholly IT, impertinent and immateriaL"
 Considerable space is devoted to an ex- r.lanation of the efforts of the detend- ants (the state) to get this case to trial; agreements between attorneys to take depositions on the 22d of December are charged and explained at length.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Something About "Budd Doble"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 I notice in your paper today you show a picture labeled "Budd Doble, as He Is Today" I am quite sure Budd- will be surprised if he should sec this, as 1t is really a picture of John Splan. one of the famous old drivers and contemporary of Doble. While both men are about the same age, .Splan is over six feet tall, weighs close to 200 is broad shouldered. talkative and of nervous temperament, On the other hand, Doble is a small man, scarcely five feet five inches, weighing about 145, and of a very quiet and cool nature. Your article is also in error in stating that the Hemet Stock Farm is To- cated in California, whereas as a matter of fact it is located in the state of Color ado. I have no doubt that your many readers will fail to recognize the picture as being the small man whose name De- came so famous when linked with the achievements of his three great cham pions, Dexter, Goldsmith Maid and Nancy Hanks. I simply call your attention to this matter, not through criticism, but knowing your desire for accuracy, feel you have been furnished with the wrong dope" Very truly yours,
