MAY ASK JUNIOR
SENATOR 10 RESIGN
MATTER TO COME UP BEFORE
LEGISLATURE AT SPE-
'CIAL SESSION.

The following is an excerpt from
an article which appeared in the Jack
son News Friday and which was alsc
sent out as a special to newspapers
in New Orleans and other Southern
cities:
when the Mississippi legislature
convenes in special session next
month it is strongly probable that a
resolution will be introduced demand
ing the resignation Of Senator J. X
Vardaman on the ground that he has
been disloyal to the nation, and un-
true to the Democratic party.
"It is positively known that letters
have been exchanged between several
members of the legislature, in which
the advisability Of demanding Sena-
tor Vardaman's resignation was dis
cussed, and, while no positive state
ment of the intentions of these mem
bers can be secured at this time, the
belief is current in political circles
that the official conduct of Senator
Vardaman, and his alleged pro-Ger.
man utterances, will be almost the
first subject brought before the law
making body"

RESCUER MEETS SAME
 FATE AS OTHERS IN
 PLUNNGE INTO WATER

Three men, Harry Osborne, liar vey Furbusb, and Al Cooper mar rowly escaped death in the icy wa ters of the channel last night when they fell from the roadway in the rear of the Forrest building into the waters below.
 Osborne and Furbush, who arc strangers in the city, walked out through one of the alleyways lead ing from Front street, in an endeay- or to learn if the Al-Ki was coming oyer to the dock. They were unac- quainted with the fact that there is a large space between the Forrest building and the Pacific Coast dock which is open, and as there were TO lights, they walked off into the bay. Cooper who heard their cries for help, ran to their assistance, and misiudging the distance, also fell off.
 As the tide was in the men all landed in the water and were able to cling 10 blanks and other floating pieces until ropes could be secured to haul them from the bay. Had the tide been out they would have struck on the rocky beach and pos sibly been killed.
