 DorseyIs Set Free
By Associafed Press


 Chicago, December 14.-Judge k. M. Landis today refused to sea- tcnce six men charged with steal ing six sacks of sugar from trains in interstate commerce, after lea n ing that President Wilson had last week granted pardon to James J. Dorsey of Gilbert, Illinois, known as the millionaire cattle king. Dorsey was sentenced to eight years in federal prison by Judge Landis, after conviction of selling several thousand head of tub ercu- lar cattle throughout the west un- der forgedS papers represen' ing them t as government tested and healthy. He began serving his sentence June 1, 1919. Last July President Wilson cut the sentence to four years. At that time Judge Landis in open court declared he could not understand the work ings" of the Presidents mind.
 T cant sentence these men wi.h the Dorsey thing fresh in my mind" Judge Landis declared in court today. "Dorsey's activities ran into thousands of dollars, while these men only stole few hum dred dollars worth of merchandise. will continue this case indefi- nite1y"

Mississippi Executive Declines to Call Special Session to
 Handle SuitS-Rain E Stops Mass Meeting
By Associnted Press


 Jackson, Miss, December 21.-Fol- lowing d conference with Revenue Agent Robertson regarding the suits pending against the 1S9 fire insurance companies operating in the state in which the revenue agent seeks to col feet penalties aggregating S2000000,- o00, Governor Russell tonight issued l statement in which he indicated that no special session Of the legisla tura will be called 10 consider the matter.
 The governor declares the matter is one which should be settled by the courts of the state; that the courts arc fair and impartial and fully com petent 10 try the cases on their merits; that if the law has been violated penalties should accrue, and that the companies have nothing to fear if they are guiltless
 mass meeting was to have been held here tonight to protest against the action of the revenue agent in bringing the suits but on account of a heavy rain and windstorm the meet ing was postponed.
 Insurance Commissioner T. M. Henry las received no direct communication from New York confirming the re- ported decision of heads of the insur- ance companies to withdraw from the state, but says he is fully convinced that the 1S9 companies involved in the suit will withdraw.
 Commissioner Henry also states that the plan being followed by the insur- ance companies appears to be to cease writing new business and renewals. but not to cancel policies now in force as in this way future penalties, if there be any may be avoided
 Many more companies instructed their agents today to discontinue writ ing new business or making renewals pending d settlement of the matter.

IN STUFFY ROOM PRESIDENT-ELECTI IS
 RECEIVING COUNSEL
(COntinued From Page One)

Marion at a time when most folks want ito be at home.
 It is not to be denied that Senator Harding is crowdng his days with more than one purpose in view. He wants to get away from Marion al the earliest practicable moment so as to get five or six weeks outdoor life in the south before he goes into the seclusion of the White House. 'snd Senator Harding has yet to find that the White House virtually is the only place where secluson is possible for a President. President Wilson has found it so. Senator Harding now is hurry ing his conferences so as to give Eirn self as much freedom as possible when he leaves@early next month for Florida,
 TO ARRIVE MARCH 3
 When he starts for the south the President-elect will bid farewell to Morton. for his plans do not call for return to tthis section of the country prior to his Inauguration at Washing ton, MT. Harding will arrive in the national capital not earlier than fhe night of the third of March
 He will be sworn in at noon the next day, and will deliver the inaugural ad dress which should outline in some de- tails the paramount policies of his ad- mi nlSJTdllOn.
 In many respects this inaugural ed dress will be of more importance 70 :he general public than the later me age to Congress when the extra session is lcalled Senator Harding will have to prepare his inaugural address in the south, and for that reason desires as much seclusion as possible while in Florida. He would have neither .ime Tor opportunity for work on an ina.lg- ural address here in Marion. That much already has been proved by the demands made upon him. The pressure is so great and the days so short. the Isenator has few moments for thought or reflection. He says he is gathering in all the raw material possible at this time Later he will put all the infor formal message to the people of q e nation he has gathered to use in i,A United States and to the world.
