SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 12.—After Leins almost hopelessly deadlocked In a parliamentary tangle over the ques tion of permanent organization, the first session of the National Cotton convention today finally adjourned un til 8 o'clock tonight without selecting permanent officers. More than four hundred delegates, representing every cotton growing state In the South were assembled at the grand opera house when the con vention was opened at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Temporary organization was effect ed by the nomination and election of Hon. \V. G. Bolton of Rapides. Louis iana, as temporary chairman, and Pro fessor J. H. Connell of Dallas, Texas, as temporary secretary.. . The convention was called to order by Judge J. C. Pugh, chairman of the executive committee, who voiced the purposes of the gathering. Judge Pugh said that the delegates had been called together to consider a question of vital importance to the welfare of the South, and Indeed, to that of the nation. Temporary Chairman Bolton, in a brief address, made an earnest plea to the delegates for action. Mr. Bol ton then read the following telegram from Secretary of Agriculture Wilson at Washington: “Hon. J. C. Pugh, Shreveport, La. “Dr. Howard, entomologist of this department, who had had wide expe rience In boll weevil work in Texas, goes to represent me at the Shreveport convention. I would be with you If my duties here did not imperatively keep me In the city. I hope your de liberations will^ be Instructive, helpful and conservative. I go before the house committee on agriculture today to urge the appropriation of a large amount of money to deal with the boll weevil In the Southern states, partlcu larly Louisiana and Texas, for the coming year.” The reading of the message was greeted with an outburst of applause. Gov. Blanchard's Address. Governor Blanchard on behalf of the state welcomed the delegates to Louis iana. and among other things said: “The question that has brought you here to hold this great convention is not one affecting merely the cotton growing region of the South. It affects Intimately and directly the whole coun try. If the cotton crop of the South Is to be destroyed by this pest—If the growth of cotton as a commercial pro duct In the South Is to cease ns the result of the Invasion of this »n*ect— It will prove a world-wide calamity. It will affect ruinously large commer cial Interests; It will affect disastrous ly every commercial Interest and every line of trade ttys world over. More, perhaps, than any other single product of the soil, cotton permeates and ad justs and regulates the balance of the world's trade. “Its culture and harvesting. Its pre paration for the market, Its transpor tation to market. Its marketing, Its manufacturure and the sale of Its fab rics give employment to millions of people In our own country. Its trans portation abroad gives employment to many thousands of ship-huilding and seafaring men, and Its manufacture In to cloth In foreign lands, and the sale of such manufactures, give employment to millions of men and women there. “As a merchantable product, it Is well-nigh Indispensable to the world's trade. But more than this. Thi con tinued growth of cotton In these South ern States seems absolutely Indispen sable to the convenience and comfort aye! even almost to the existence It self, of the people of the world. In the Jar greater part the people of the world depend on cotton fabrics with which to clothes themselves. “Their reliance is on the Southern States of the great American Republic for that which clothes them, for here In the South we have the practical mo nopoly of the growth of the cotton plant. “Great effort and vast expenditures of treasure have been made to de velop Us growth In other regions of the world's surface, but without success. “The cotton In th*» world grown out ride of the United States has scarcely an appreciable effort on the cotton market. The eyes of all are on the South’s cotton. What Is the Ameri can crop going to be? what the price It will likely bring? These are the questions men ask of one another the world over. ' ♦ "The South, gentlemen of the con vention. Is the clothelr of the world. Let Its crop of cotton fall for three years consecutively and the people of the world will go In rags and naked- ' n«ss. Suppose, now as threatened by this pest of the boll weevil. It falls . permanently: and what will the people do for clothing? Wool and silk ranils fabrics will not go round, as rfaple articles of clothing, to more than a third of the world's population. Are the people to go naked? “That Is not too broad a question to ask. and to ask here and now. view of the terrible menace which overhangs the South In this plague of the weevil. "The cotton crop of the South Is worth to the people of the South In the z raw six hundred millions of dallors per annum. It Is worth four times that when manufactured. As a mine of wealth It exceed* all the gdtd mines ever discovered. The gold mines be come exhausted In. time. The soli of the South that produce* the cotton does not exhaust. The cotton crop,— this mine of wealth, with its output of six hundred millions—has been cc/rlng every* year. It will continue to come ©very year, only Increasing annually. If saved from destruction by this In sec r. -- “This cotton mine of ours will make the mouth the richest cf cour.ule* if preserved. It Is bound to be so. With the monopoly here of the growth of cotton and the dependence of the world upon It to clothe its nakedness, a golden stream must continue to flow into the South. That golden stream turns the balance of the world's trade In favor of the United States.

Dec. 12.—Three witnesses were heard today in the case of Senator Reed Smoot before the sen ate committee on privileges and elec tions, the committee resuming Its in vestigation after a long recesss. The first witness wus the Rev. J. M. Buck- ley. editor of the Christian Advocate of New York, who told of a Mormon meeting ho attended in Salt Lake, Utah, last summer In which President Joseph Smith declared he would not give up Ills plural wives. George Rey nolds. a high official of the church, testified In regard to ceremonies thnt have taken place In the endowment house and concerning ecclesiastical di vorces granted by the church, and John Henry Hamlin told of tho plural mar' rlage of his sister, Lillian Hamlin, to Apostle Abram Cannon, which cere mony he said he understood to have been performed by President Smith since the manifesto of 1800. Most of the testimony related to the Inside church policy, but did not connect Sen ator Sntoot with any of the alleged vlo latlons of state or national statutes. Buckley told of a speech o President Smith on the subject of mar riage. The witness snld Pffkfldent Smith declared that the mothers of his own children had been given hlni by God nnd were saints of God. Dr. Buck ley snld President Smith defended the Mormon marriage, and declared that polygamy was not adultery, hut was a system of marriage. President 8mlih wns quoted by the witness ns saying thut he could not give up any of his wives. in, answer to questions by Senator Oevermsn Mr. Reynolds snld marringon were performed with dead persons In the Endowment house. Mr. Taylor then asked If divorces were granted In the Endowment house. “The church grants divorces to those who have been married for time nnd eternity, hut does not divorce legal marriages until the courts have acted.'' said Mr. Reynolds. “Plural marriages are dot recognized by courts nnd there fore the church does not consult the court In granting divorces in cases of such mnrrlnges." Senator Pornker nsker If such di vorces are granted from dead persona. “In a few Instances only I should sny.” said the witness. “For something done after death or before?" the senator asked. “In life time." “Is the deml person given an oppor tunity to be heard?" the senator asked. "No sir; It Is because such cases are held to be unjust to the dead accused that so fow divorces of this kind are grunted,” snld the witness. “Is nny one appointed to defend the accused “Never; but the complainant Is given a hearing If satisfactory evidence la furnished to the church. Mr. Reynolds testified that the pres ident of the church always has the authority to Issue ecclesiastical di vorces. Mr. Taylor showed the wltnesa contract of separation between George T. and Ellen Watson, which Mr. Rey nolds acknowledged he executed 1897. He stated that he does not know now whether the marriage he dis solved was a plurnl one or not. Are you a polygamist?" Mr. Taylor asked. “Yes, sir,” answered Mr. Reynolds. “Have you any children married In polygamy?” “I believe so; one daughter,' Mr. Reynolds testified that he has twenty-six children. Mr. Reynolds gave |he names of the seven presidents of the seventies, of which he Is the fourth In rank. He testified thnt three of the seven were polygamists. Senator Du Bols asked: You have two wives now, I believe, Mr. Reynolds, your first wife being dead?” “Yes, air.' ."If you were to marry another wo man tomorrow which would be your legal wife?” 'The one last married.” “Would not that be adultery?” “It would be If I continued to live ns the husband of the other woman, but I do not sustain auch relation with more than one. Mr. Reynolds said he understood that the manifesto of 1890 permitted him to live with his plafal wives without violating the laws, but thnt no further wives could be contracted. Despite this testimony It was brought out that the witness has had children CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 12.—Trouble for Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwick Increased at a rapid rate today. She was twice Indicted by the grand Jury of Cuya hoga county and her old time friend Irl Reynolds took the stand in court and made evident his intention to shield and protect her no longer.. The aged secretory of the Wade Park bank presented a pnthetlc picture as he an swered question after question, which brought out his own Implicit faith In the woman whose financial transac tions have well nigh ruined him In for tune, and caused him such Inflnlt not steel bonds.” When asked what they were, Mr. Reynolds said: “There were five $1,000 bonds of tho Home Telegraph Co., of Niagara. N. Y., and six certificates of the Buckeye Fish Company.” At one time she had made a written statement, he said, to his committee that she had over two millions In bonds In the safety deposit vault In tho Wade Park Bank. He had read the trust agreement, but had never seen the signature. Mrs. Chadwick had told him the original was In the package he held. He confident ly believed everything would bo paid ■ P®| ■ t up to a week ago. and had no suspl- trouble. He gave evidence thnt he c | on of anything wrong until a few NEXT U. C. V. REUNION. To be Held in Loufsviffo, Ky.—Date Not Yet Settled. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.-Gen. Wm. E. Mickle, adjutant general Uni ted Confederate Veterans, authorizes the announcement that the next re union of the veterans will be held In Loulnvlll. Ky., but that the date has not yet been settled. still believes his trust wss Justified. Only one query he attempted to evade. This was when he was asked how much of his personal estate had passed Into the possesion of Mrs. Chadwick. His eyes filled, and he requested that he he excused from answering. The question was not pushed. The formal Indictments voted against Mrs. Chadwick this afternoon, are bnsKd. one. upon the Carnegie note for $250,000, which was made payable at the office of Andrew Carnegie In New York city, nnd the other upon the Car negie note for $500,000 which wns pay able at the National Bank of Com merce In New York. Under onch In dictment are two counts, one charging foregery, the other uttering of forged paper. Information of the Indictments was n't once wired to New York by County Prosecutor Keeler, and he requested that Mrs. Chadwick be Immediately arrested If Hhe secured ball on the other charges hanging over her. The examination of Irl Reynolds, treosurer nnd secretary of the Wade Park Hank, before Referee Remington In the bank ruptcy court- today failed to disclose nny asset thnt might he secured by Receiver Loeser, appointed by the fed era! court; but brought from Mr. Rey nolds In reply to questions, tho follow ing answer. She told me she was the lllegltl mnte daughter of Andrew Carnegie." Later Mr. Reynolds In detailing his transactions with Mrs. Chadwick snld In all my transactions with Mrs. Ghndwlek I believed from what she told me thnt Andrew Carnegie was hacking her nnd all her Indebtedness would be pnld." He then added: “And I have not had anything yet to make me doubt It.” In detailing how he came Into p**- sesslon of the $600,000 note bearing the name of Andrew Carnegie, he said: “Mrs. Chadwick called me to her house and said she wished to Intrust to me some securities. Hhe snld she had been*advised to place them 111 tha possession of a third party, nnd she wanted me to take care of them." This Is the package thnt wns opened last Friday night In the presence of Mr. Reynolds and Attorney Htcarn by Attorney Andrew Squire. The pack age was produced In court and Mr. Reynolds Identified the Carnegie note, the mortgage deed and tho copies of. an alleged trust ngr»*ment. Continuing the witness seld: “Hhe then handed mo n pnper to sign." This paper witness 1ld not have with him, but as near ns he could remember It read: ertlty thnt I hold In trust for Mrs. Cassle I*. Chadwick securities nnd a not** for $5,000,000.' Mr. Reynold* would not swear to the wording, but It was to thnt effect. The note was not Indorsed, but he had no doubt that the alleged maker of the note was back of the woman. The contents of the package were Identified separately by Mr. Reynolds, and nt the request of the examining counsel he mnrked each paper ns exhibit. Asked ns to other transac tions, Mr. Reynolds snld: There Is one. It Is a little hanking secret, fait I'm willing to tell nil. Hhe came to me. I th’nk It wns In 1904, and said she had $12,000 In p«P**' nble nt the Prudential Trust ComMy. If I would let her have the tnoney^he would put up United States Steel Cor poration bonds In the morning «*,col lateral. I consulted my eomnittlee, and with their consent I loaned her the money. The next day she brought a package which contained $200,000 In United States Steel bonds nnd n $250,- 000 Certificate which I waa to hold In truat for her under the name condi tions as the previous package. I held these until aMnonth ago, when In the presence of several gentlemen they were opened. It was about the time Mr. Newton Began his suit. They con tained bonds all right, but they were days before Mr. Newton brought his suit. * • “She has fooled me, and many men smarter than me; she hn* pulled tho wool over everybody’s eyes." Then with n faint smile as though the humor appealed to him despite his troubles ne said: Once she wrote to me to ask if I needed any help because of the run on. the bank.” SUM another Incident was detailed by the witness. “When Mrs. Chad wick was In Europe," he said, “she wrote that Dr. Chadwick wns In the hospital, seriously ill, the daughter was also 111. and she was In sore distress.^ She cabled me thnt she hnd no moneyjS nnd I sent her-$15,000. When she or-TB rived here she was thought to he dying■ She then tojd me where. If anything! happened to her.

It wan for $60,000 and had Andrew Carne gie's name signed to It. Whether any money wns ever procured on It he did not know. • As to the value of Mrs. Chndwlck’a household fittings Mr. Reynoldn thought they might be worth thou: $200,000. He said he took a chattel mortgage about two years ngo but hnd nevei recorded It. Continued on Page Two.
