Kansas Governor To Try New Plan Halts Scheme to Arrest Life Long Friend Topeka, K?ns., July 21.?Judge J. A. McDermott of the Kansas Industrial Court, left late today tor Emporia, to investigate the Wil liam Allen-White case'. From the governor s office, it was announced that there was no change in the state's plans to arraign the Em poria editor for his alleged viola tion of the industrial court act in posting placards encouraging the striking railroad shopmen. The only reason for the postponement of fiction, it was said, was* to de termine a plan for campaign. It was understood that Judge 'McDermott had a complaint against White with him and that his " instructions were , that if White took down the offending sign, no attempt should be made to arrest him. But that if he did not, McDermott was to file the in formation with the county attorn ey-' ' . Late information from Emporia was to the effect' that the yellow card which caused the break be tween* White and Allen is still in position but While had not changed the "50 per cent sympathy"' for the railroad men. Yesterday the sign was changed from 49 to 50 per cent. Word also came that Mr. White, Iffe-long friend oi Governor Alien, was disappointed at the delay in the proposed arrest. In an article in' tonight's issue of the Emporia. Gazette, White says: "All day the editor of the "Ga zette has been sitting up dressed for the execution Occasionally a box of flowers would come in. He got his last communication from Henry Garinse, his attorney, and sat singing pious hymn, waiting for the procesion to ' start. He had a dying statement written and put in type and was in a bea!tific frame of mind, when the notice came that a reprieve had been granted until sundown The notice. that Judge Me?ermott was coming .to Emporia under "a flag of. truce sent the ?azette man into his bomb proof with his gas mask on and his tin hat over his eyes.'" : ...-VA .... "No Compromise" In Kansas Case Emporia, Kan., July 22.?A war rant charging William Allen White, autnor and editor with violation of the industrial court law in dis playing^ a placard sympathizing with the .striking railroad shopmen,, was issued in district court here late today. Mr. White, through his j attorney, immediately made bond for his appearance when the case j is called for trial in district" court here next October. The warrant, signed by Roland Bbyhton, county at t o r h e y, a nephew of Mr. White, was issued on information Tiled by a representa tive 'of Governor Henry J. Allen, lifelong friend of Mr. White. In a statement given out when the' warrant was issued Mr. White said the objectionable placard would not be displayed pending le gal settlement of the case. The statement explained : that this ac tion was *'n0 compromise, abso lutely rlo acknowledgment of the right of the state to suppress, free utterances, published'in decent and orderly manner" but followed '*a profound belief in law and legal j processes." ; Several days ago Mr. White j posted the placard in a window of' his" newspaper office, the Gazette. I The yellow poster announced, "we j are for the striking railroad men j 50 per cent." Mr. White said he, would add 10 per cent each day as] the shopmen's strike continued, de-| dialing ?'the right to a free utter- j ance of' honest opinions is a fun- j damental' right." But Governor Allen, his friend, publicly and personally, for many j years and the companion of the ed- ' itor on ? European trip during the I world war, differed in his interpre-j tation of the Industrial Court act. He held that the display of the j sympathy card in the Gazette win- i dow was a violation of the picket- j ing clause of the industrial court i law and declared Mr. White had the wrong "slant" in the matter. ] The governor said he did not be-J lieve forbidding display of such I cards was an attack on free speech, as his author friend contended. He j declared no exception could be | made, that Mr. White must be ar-j rested for violation of the law.' A conference held at Emporia last night between the "seconds" of \ Mr. White and Mr. Allen resulted in a deadlock. Mr. White, through his representatives, informed the gov ernor's emissary that he would not back down. When informed of this the governor 'said he would cause Mr. White's arrest if the placard was^still up today. It was. Throughout it all the governor and editor have reiterated that there was no personal feeling be tween them, declaring that their personal relations were not affected by their difference of opin ion over interpretation of the law. The warrant charges specifically that he "hindered, delayed, inter fered with and suspended operation of trains on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad." "When a law or a ruling or a legal authority affronts a man's conscience, ju'st two courses are open to him," said Mr. White in a statement issued immediately after his arrest. "He must seek its repeal in the legislature or its annulment in court. The Kansas legislature is not in session. My only other course is to seek the annulment of the order which seems to me to restrict freedom of utterance. The risk is great, but the action quick er. If, in seeking the annulment of any order or law. the protesting citizens obey the order or law while the case is pending. . no man can question his motive. This iv exactly what 1 am doin*; and it is what I am asking all good citizens to do. The case is now in the courts. That is where it belongs/' MARKETING HEAD VISITS COLUMBIA Carl Williams is Pleased With Progress in State Columbia, July 21.?Carl Wil liams of Oklahoma City, president of the American Cotton Growers' exchange, the overhead organiza tion of the various statewide co operative organizations, spent yes terday in Columbia in conference with officials of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative asso ciation. He is completing a tour of the nine states in which these organizations have been formed. Delight was expressed by Mr. Williams with the organization per fected, the board of directors elect ed by the members and the offi cers' chosen by the board in South Carolina. He safd that no state in the belt was starting off its as sociation under more favorable [circumstances than is South Caro ilina. The cooperative associations are here to stay, said Mr. Williams. "These organizations." he said, "make long term contracts with the grower, covering all his crop with a' penalty for non-delivery. They have adopted the principle of the internal pool, whereby every grow er receives the same price Jfor the same quantity a.rd quality. They employ experts in marketing who work for the farmer instead of against him* "The four stales, which func-. tioned last season, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi (long staple) and Arizona, handled more than $50, 06?,00u Worth of cotton on the ap j proved principles of city business. They have eliminated waste, ineffi ] ciency and specu ation at country j markets. "The real purpose behind these I organizations is an improvement j in the standard of living in the i cotton south. More money to the [grower of cotton means glass win I dows in .'the houses, more conven liences in the home, more and bet ter tools, clothes and schools and greater prosperity for everybody.** Douglas McKay, a well known member of the Columbia bar, has been elected state counsel for the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative association, announce j ment of his eiec?on having been made yesterday by the board of directors. He will enter at once upon the duties of the position. Mr. McKay is well known throughout the state. He was a member for several years of the firni of Barron. McKay, Frierson & McCants, but since January 1 has been practicing alone. He is a graduate of the University of South Carolina. Officials said yesterday that the association would probably oecu (py its new quarters in the old Ma sonic temple building on Main street in about ten days. Kansas Editor Ordered Arrested William Alten White, of Em poria, Defies State Law Topeka, Kans.. July 20.?Gov. [Henry J. Allen tonight authorized I the arrest of William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, for (alleged violations of the anti-pick | eting provision of the Kansas in dustrial court and issued a state ment. The warrant probably will be issued tomorrow, it was believ ed. " Declaring in a signed statement ' that "no distinction will be made as to individuals, no matter what their j standing may be in the state or na j tion," and "certainly we can not i make any exception of Mr. White's j case." Governor Allen turned the I prosecution of M-r. White over to j the state attorney general. White had displayed placards in [ The Gazette windows supporting [the railway shopmen's strike. He I also carried a front page editorial ! in The Gazette Wednesday invit | ing Governor Allen to prosecute I him for advocating the cause of [ the striking railway employees. [ Governor Allen and Mr. White j have been cronies in business, pol | itics and in their social relations j for a long time. They toured Eu i rope together. They were togeth I er in France during the world war. Political alignments in Kansas have been kaleidoscopic in the last 15 years, but through it all "Henry and Me" have been one .and in separable. At the present time White is stoutly asserting that he believes in the industrial act but that the j law never contemplated taking j from him or any citizen the right i of free expression of opinion. Dur i ing the special session of the leg islature of. 1920, which enacted the i industrial court act. White appear 1 ed before the legislature in sup . port of its passage, i Before the allowing of the infor ' mation for the warrant to be drawn ! up tonight the governor asked sev j oral times if the arrest of White i would hurt "Bill's standing with the ! people of Kansas." Governor Al len appeared more worried than I he lias at any time during his ad j ministration.

It.mayi ; he taken by sonic as the complaint, [ of chronic calamity-howlers. How t ever, there are many indisputable I I facts that bear it out. j ! To begin with, the farmers, in i I an effort to carry but a program j I of diversification, planted a rather ! large acreage in truck this year, j upon which they used a considera- f ble amount of commercial ferti-j lizer at the expense of their corn j and cotton crops. The * cucumber crop was the first to be marketed and the prices received were so poor that many farmers did not i realize enough to more than pay; for-the .seed planted, to say noth-? ing of the other costs of prodiic- j tion. Then came cantaloupes, j which also showed a loss to the producer. This section is now at the height of the watermelon sea son and carloads have sold here as low as $12.50. while many who refused to take the prices offered and shipped their melons to the northern markets, did not receive a penny after paying the freight. It is predicted that many farm ers will not make enough corn to feed their stock until the. first of the year. Cotton, therefore, is the only I-hope that they have ; left, and a mighty slim one it appears to be. A bad start, lack of sufficient fer tilizer, and poor seasons are ? re sponsible for the poorest prospect I this section has had in many years. Of course; there are some fields that are exceptions, and give prom ise of good yields, provided that :the boll weevil can be kept in check. In spite of the fact that control measures of one sort or an [ other have been and are being 'used, the pest goes right ahead with its deadly work. Reports reached Bamwell this week that the weevil is now pui.cturing large size bolls, in addition to the squares. One farmer stated that he found three grubs in one boll. If this condi tion becomes general there will be less cotton made in this county this year than was the case in 1921, when the average was a bale to a bale and a half to the plow. Heavy rains have fallen through out the country during the past two weeks, v which naturally tends to increase weevil damage. Following two other very dis astrous years, the losses already suffered in 1922, fall very heavy upon the farmers and those, with whom they deal. They have hot yet paid their taxes and property sold here on salesday in this month by the sheriff under tax executions had to be bought in by the couniy. Unless there is a larger yield of cotton than is indicated \ at present, and a good price is re-J ceivsd for the staple, disaster faces! the agricultural class as a whole.
