Between 200 and 300 Rumely Officials and Agents Attended Welcome Banquet of Commercial Club.
PLAN IS TO KEEP EACH BRANCH BUSY B. G. Baker, Head of the Sales Department, Declared that the Gaar-Scott Factory Will Be Largest. Richmond was honored with the presence of Dr. E. A. Rumely, head of the M. Rumely company, at the banquet tendered the Rumely party by the Commercial club at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night. Dr. Rumely's business interests have prevented him from attending the banquets given for the party in any other city since the inspection trip started. The banquet was a success of the highest order and was attended by 228 Rumely "men besides many local people. When Dr. Rumely arose to his feet to address the men the hall reverberated with cheers and he was forced to wait several minutes before quiet was restored. He stated that he was glad to be able to come to Richmond as he expected the Gaar-Scott line here to become one of the biggest factors in the Rumely company's business. The object of the big deals that the company has been negotiating in the past, j- r, , n according to Dr. Ruinely, is to scatter . r, .. . .. J' .. . the point ot production of their pro - i 4 j i. .v. 4,ducts and at the same time to cen - , , . . ,, . utilize lue laciuneb iu iue Sulawesi ..... liuiuufi ui tines. "Richmond is one of the best cities In the organization," said Dr. Rumely. "The living conditions here are excellent and the class of men employed at the Gaar-Scott factory is better than the average. The men are able to make the highest class of implements." Mr. Rumely related the history of the shift from hand labor to animal power to till the soil and declared that animal power would be entirely superseded by mechanical power in a short time. One of the great problems of the company is to try to make the yield per acre of the soil Increase as it has fallen. If this condition is not changed and the fertility of the soil restored, the country will soon be facing a famine, he stated. Company's plan. The plan of the M. Rumely company is to produce machinery which will keep the factories busy at all seasons of the year. This is assurred by the Rumely Products company, which was organized by S. S. Strattan of this city, since retired from the company, as this branch of the company will control all sales of Rumely j products. Howard Hayes, head of the Rumely legal department stated that one of , the objects of the company is to treat its competitors fairly. He said that competition must not be smothered as it is the means by which .broader and bigger ideas are received and through these the perfection of implements can be attained. One of the most interesting talks was given by Alexander Lottamoor, of Russia. Mr. Lottamoor was a school mate of Dr. Rumely's at Oxford university, and in several German universities. He told of the crude methods of the Russian peasants, many of whom have never seen a train or eutomobile. "What the Sales Organization Will T)o For Richmond," was the subject of

He Officially Becomes Governor of Indiana by Simple, but Impressive Ceremonies Today.
PARTY MUST KEEP PLATFORM PLEDGES Favors a New State Constitution, a Public Utilities Commission, and a Compensation Act. Governor Ralston's inaugural address will be found in full elsewhere. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 13 Samuel M. Ralston, Democrat, of Boons county, elected by the people of Indiana for their twenty-eighth governor, and W. P. O'Neill, Democrat, of St. Joseph county, lieutenant-governor, were today officially Inducted into their respective offices and took charge of the machinery of state government. The oath of office was administered by Judge E. W. Felt, of the appellate court after which Governor Ralston dejlivered his inaugural address, I The ceremonies took place in the spacious corridor of the first floor of the State Capitol where especial arj rangements had been made witn a view to accommodate the large assemblage of citizens, which included an unusually large number of women. Mrs. Ralston was the center of an admiring group of lady friends and keen interest was apparent among the feminine portion of the gathering. Both Houses Attend. Preparatory to attending the Inauguration, both houses of General As sembly had gathered In their respective chambers, the senate being the first to call to order. The official -canvass of the vote, which revealed the fact that Mr. Ralston had defeated Albert J. Beveridge his nearest opponent by the substantial margin of 133,000 votes; had defeated Col. Winfleld T. Durbin by an even greater plurality, and was duly entitled to assume the reins of government, were merely perfunctory. Following the ceremonies, Governor Ralston held a popular reception in the governor's office, in which ex-Governor Thomas R. Marshall, vice-president-elect of the United States shared the honors in a large measure. Excerpts From Address. In his inaugural address Governor Ralston said: Not to carry out the declarations j of the last Democratic platform would ! be a betrayal of the people's confl-! dence. This includes an efficient primary law and a general revision of road laws. He recommended the creation of a public utilities eommiijsfon empowered to make physicaJ--valuations, ascertain, amount Invested and amount necessary to keep up repairs and pay operating expenses; provision against watereii 'stock and overbonding, unless on face thereof the amount or percent of water therein is accurately stated. He advocated a worklngmen's compensation law, the constitutionality thereof to be passed upon by the supreme court. He said the people want a new constitution and personally favors a constitutional convention. "I sometimes think that men in public station do not always correctly estimate the wisdom and the character of American citizenship. Love for man and a desire for property suggest the necessity for law and order and so it is that the average American citizen stands for obedience to the law," said the governor. All Alike Before Law. "Before the law the rich and the poor, the capitalist and the laborer must stand upon an equality. As governor I shall have no favorites In the execution of the law, and let it now be understood that I hold that the mind which devises a scheme that is in violation of the law is guiltier than the dependent hands that execute- the offense in obedience to orders. "I believe in the accumulation of property, but the acquisition of riches by the special interests, through the perversion of the functions of government, tends to divide the people Into classes and weakens their .confidence in the government. "Nor am I hostile to corporations. On the contrary I recognize their worth. The business of the country could not be carried on without them. But I insist that when they dominate legislatures and control the people's government in their own interests, they violate the law of their creation, become wrongdoers against the public and should be dealt with accordingly. "By my official conduct confidence in me will either be strengthened or destroyed. I intend it shall be strengthened."

MRS. WOODROW WILSON AND
NEW YORK, Jan. 13. Huch has been published telling of the cleverness of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President-elect, but few are aware that she is the architect who designed the Wilson home at Prince
ton. N. J. So well arranged is this terior that the entire family look with
length of time anywhere else. Mrs. Wilson has done an immense amount of architectural work, and often acts in an advisory capacity with NewYork architects. Mrs. Wilson, too, is a painter of merit, and several of
her landscapes have been placed on York and Chicago. A THREE CORNERED WAR IS EXPECTED New Constitution for Indiana Promises to Be a Regular Live Wire. (National News Association) ' INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 13. The matter of a new constitution for Indiana promises to precipitate lively times during the present session of the General Assembly, and it will not surprise some of the lawmakers If a three-cornered fight develops. With the so-called "Tom Marshall" constitution still before the supreme court, and the Stotsenberg measure which purposes to accomplish practically the same results through whole sale amendment of the present constitution, and in a manner that will place its validity beyond question. Senator Will Wood, Republican, from Benton-Tippecanoe counties, expects to introduce during the coming week a bill calling for a constitutional convention to assemble in Indianapolis next December. This convention would have full power to construot an absolutely new constitution, or to amend and revise i the present instrument in a manner that would meet present day require-. ments. The plan' to be embraced in Senator Wood's bill anticipates the calling of a constitutional conference in May to arouse public interest through the state so that the best citizens in their respective localities may be selected as delegates to the constitutional convention. The election of these delegates would be held in September and be named by petition irrespective of political faith. Senator Wood takes the position that the men holding a constitutional convention fifty years ago had no power to frame an instrument to bind the people of the state forever and maintain that the people have an inherent right to amend the organic law. The Republican state platform promised to reconstruct the constitution, and while that party has a helpless minority in the present legislature, it Is their evident purpose, with the aid of Progressives, to force the all-powerful majority to satisfy the general sentiment all over the state for a revision of the convention. STATES BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT IS -WRONG (National News Association) CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Asserting that the boy scout movement was a device to entice bovs into military service, Mrs. Libby MacDonald, a suffragette, exported members of the Woman's party in Cook county to sign a pledge agreeing to bring no more children into the world until the scout movement was dropped.

Stackhouse of Springfield, Ohio, will deliver an address on "Worklngmen's Compensation Insurance."

(National News Association) ALIFAX, Jan. 13. While Captain Eustace and his heroic crew of 102 battled to save the wrecked liner Uranium today as she lay hard and fast on a reef in shoal cove near Chebucto Head, special trains were made up here to carry to their destinations, the 883 passengers who were rescued from the vessel yesterday. The vessel lay in a precarious position and tugs dispatched from this city to her aid were handicapped by a high wind that drove the waves over the liner on which the water froze, making every movement of the sailors one of peril. It was said today the cruiser was badly damaged by the reef. Three plates were smashed and water was pouring into the vessel today. The crew worked the pumps in relays but despite their efforts the water gained on them. Officials of the Uranium company said despite this the ship will be floatm , Many of the steerage passengers ! e n,5ht ' offering up prayers for their safe deliverance High praise was given to Capt Eustace and his crew by the passengers. They declared that in the midst of the ' dangers from wind and sea Capt. Eus- : tace and his men remained calm and j one of the first orders given was wo1 men and children shall leave the ship first." i Michael Mulley. one of the first cab- ' in passengers, who spent the night at the immigration office, declared today that had the wind been from any other quarter a tragedy rivalling that of the Titanic would have been the result. "The Uranium was going at reduced speed when we struck the reef," said Miller, "or I might not be here to tell this tale." Captain Eustace was on the bridge and he sent his officers among the passengers to tell them there was no immediate danger and at the same time other officers went to the hold to investigate. The heavy sea, the sound of water and the ignorance of the extent of the disaster caused much fear among the foreigners In the steerage. Women and men raised their voices in fear, some shouting to be taken off i and others praying for safety. All INSPECTION TRIP Made by Board of County Commissioners. The county coinuiiaionera made au inspection trip today weat'of the city along the route of the T. II.. I &. E. tracks.

A report current in many circles was that the delegates had begun to pack up preparatory to leaving London. Roumania's Claim. Roumania is taking advantage of the break to press her territorial claims upon Bulgaria with the consequence that the allies are caught by a cross current. However, despite Roumania's activity In the diplomatic field. th probability of a declaration of war by Roumania against Bulgaria .was lessened by an interview tilth M. Badarau.
