Indianapolis.—The message of Emmett F. Branch, retiring governor, in which he pleaded for the state institutions. expressing a strong desire that the present system of control and operation of benevolent, charitable and correctional institutions be continued, was the high light of the opening session of the Seventy-fourth general assembly at the statehouse. Uis plea was that politics be kept out. The assembly formally got under way after the election of Representative Harry G. Leslie of Lafayette, speaker of the house of representatives. Senator James J. Nejdl of Whiting. president pro tern, of-the senate, and other assembly officers. Addresses Joint Session. The governor, reading from a 7,000 word manuscript, was heard by a joint -session of the senate and house, sitting in the house chamber, a crowd that lined the corridors, the galleries and even overflowed on the floor. Governor Branch’s message rang with a repeated caution against permitting politics, in any form or manner, to gain control of state boards and commissions. The governor opposed specifically the creation of a central board of control for state institutions. , The governor urged adoption of the .county unit act to place the schools under the county control, placing rhe motor busses and all common carriers under the control and regulation of the public service commission :tnd the enactment of laws which are designed to strengthen and enlarge the state ing department. One of the most salient parts of the governor's speech was his recommendation that there be legislation that would deny the right of any public utility to hold stock in any other public utility or the right of any corporation, if such a corporation be a utility or holding company, to hold stock in a public utility. The governor said that all holding companies should be declared, a utility. Governor Branch recommended that the governor he empowered to remove from office an.v law-enforcing official who refuses to do his duty, suggested that no increase or decrease be given to any state employee without the governor’s approval, recommended more state parks and more reforestation and urged discretion in cutting appropriations for wards of the state. Wants Speed Limit Increase. Governor Branch advocated increasing from 25 to 35 miles an hour the state speed limit on state highways. The governor advocated making it mandatory on courts to revoke the license of any driver of an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor; said that there should be some limitation on the width of motor busses and said that these busses and all trucks should be required to carry rear view mirrors and stop lights. He advocated that busses and trucks be assessed for damages they do to highways. Discussing the proposal that all drivers be required to have a license, the governor said that this would not. in his opinion, meet the situation, but that instead that after granting a license to an operator it shall be discretionary for the first offense and mandatory for the second offense for the court to revoke the license of any operator found guilty of, exceeding the maximum speed limit on the road. Governor Branch deviated from his set address in only two instances. He spoke extemporaneously on the question of the primary, recalling some personal experiences and paying tributes to former senators and governors from Indiana and detailing to the members of the circumstances surrounding the opening of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. INDIANA STATE NEWS Indianapolis.—State Senator William E. English and .Mrs. Ho| e n < »rr English, who were divorced by the Circuit court.

CHAPTER XlV—Continued —l7— Nellie looked. Beyond the door . opening there was no standing space—only a black hole that went straight | down. Beyond was the iron hull of | the ship, and to, right and left the I Iron framework of the ribs. The door । itself was cut with exquisite neatness . In the wooden sheathing that framed ■ the cabin walls. The space was not I more than a foot deep, and probably not more than a yard wide. Down the outer face ran a sort of iron ladder — really little more than a succession of narrow cleats. “That ladder leads down into the hold,” explained Carr. “I’ve got a snug little room down there, with half a dozen runways leading fore and aft and cross ship.” Carr turned. "Captain! If you’ll go down first. Miss Archman can follow, and I’ll come last and close the j door.” Captain Bunker hesitated. He had been in command of ships too long to relish 'taking orders from a mere lad. ■ Besides, he was a large man and the space looked very narrow. “What’s , your idea?” he demanded doubtfully. ; “We can hold the cabin—” “No I We can't, captain. They’re twenty to one; and they’re armed and we’re not. Besides, we’ve got to think of Miss Archman. We can't fight, but I think we can escape. If you'll trust me—” “Oh, all right!” Captain Bunker । spoke sulkily, but he stepped Into the | chute. Nellie followed quickly. Carr came last. As he reached the bottom he clicked an electric button i and a bulb flashed out, showing a room a dozen feet square, plainly one of the disused spare rooms of the ship. Nellie cried out in delight, but j Bunker looked disgusted. Also he was hot and breathless and was suffering from his wounded head. “I don’t like this, Carr.” he rasped. “I don’t like It a bit. You’ve betrayed the trust I put in you. I never thought you'd be a I stowaway. Os course. It’s for the best, I I suppose, but I’m disappointed all the same. I’m disappointed.” Carr looked a little downcast. “I don't think you will be, captain,” he protested hastily; “not when I’ve had time to explain everything. Just now—” Nellie wns listening eagerly. “It doesn’t need any explanation!” she cried. “Mr. Carr did just right; I | think it was perfectly splendid of him i and the bravest thing I ever heard of. i Oh! I don’t see how he dared shut • himself up down here.” Carr laughed, but he did not move ! from the foot of the chute. He ' seemed to be listening for something. "I didn’t shut myself up altogether,” he protested. “I was in and <«ut all the time. For instance, left a note in Miss Bess’ stateroom, telling her to warn Captain Bunker that somebody was going to try to steal his orders.” "Good Lord! Wns that you? Why 1 didn’t you leave It in my room?” “Because—Hark!” Carr strained his ear up the chute. “False alarm!” he said a moment later. "I didn’t । leave it there because Price was in and out too much, and was prying into things too closely. I didn’t suspect him of anything serious—l susj pected somebody else then—but I knew he was prying. So I asked Miss j Bess to tell you.” “And it was Price that got the papers. after all,” grunted Bunker. “Was it? I’m not sure. Os course i I don't know much, you know—only । what I could pick up by listening. But, I’m inclined to think Price told i you the truth about himself. I got that map of his, by the way.” “You did?” “Sure thing. I got it and I packed it in the lunch basket he was fixing to send ashore with Mrs. Archman and her party. I guess they’ve found It all right by now. But we’re wasting time. Listen, captain. You know the ship! The passage outside the door ' yonder”—Carr pointed—“leads to the forward cargo port. Miss Archman’s boat is probably still lying close alongside. When our absence is discovi ered and the alarm is given everyj body is sure to rush to the cabin, i When they’re all there we’ve got to I run forward and drop into the boat and pull like thunder. See? Hark!” Once more Carr listened. Then he turned and nodded. “Just a moment,” he cautioned and ran up the ladder. At the top he stopped and peered through the peephole. Price stood in the middle of the cabin, revolver in hand, looking dazedly from the empty chairs and the loosened ropes to the vacant room. Every Instant he changed position, as some creak of the ship’s structure seemed to threaten a creeping attack. Furtively he moistened his lips. But he gave no alarm. Carr, watching, guessed that he feared to confess to his fellows that his prisoners had spirited themselves away. If the mutineers learned that Captain Bunker and Miss Archman had vanished out of a locked cabin 1 they might set It down to “ghosts”; ■ they might suspect their leader of I treachery. In either case his authority would suffer—and he himself might suffer, too. It would be better simply to lock the cabin up and say nothing except, perhaps, to a chosen few; and to search the ship quietly. Carr, । watching, read his thoughts like a । book and felt his heart sink. It sank still lower as he saw Price sidle toward the door. If he gave no alarm, . the men would not rush aft, and the i fugitives’ chance of escape would be | gone. Slowly PrPe retreated toward the door. In another moment be would 1 be gone. Carr writhed in Impotence. I He was unarmed, and Price held a

I cocked revolver in his hand. While he hesitated the man backed through the door and shut it behind him. Then Carr saw his chance —a desperate one, but still a chance, better than waiting to be hunted down like a rat in the hold. Before the door had fairly closed he sprang out of his hiding place and ran toward It. As he passed the table he caught the cloth over It and jerked it and all upon it to the floor. The tin basin clanged as It struck. Before the echoes died away Carr was at the doorway, behind the leaf, waiting. None too soon. As he faced round, back to the wall. Price burst in. revolver raised. Beyonf the edge of the swinging door he rushed, and, as he did so, Carr flung himself upon hlin, grasping his wrist with a grip that twisted the pistol from his hand. The pistol exploded as it fell. The bullet went harmlessly, but the damage was done. The alarm was given. No time for half measures now. With all his strength Carr tripped the exsteward and drove bls head against the floor. The crack rang through the room and Carr felt the man’s muscles relax and grow flaccid in his grip. He sprang to his feet and jumped across the room, snatching up the pistol as he went. Into the slit he scrambled and drew the panel shut, tearing behind him. in the wardroom. the rush of scurrying feet as it closed. He did not delay to watch the scene. He heard the uproar as the men burst in, and that wns enough. He had no time to lose. It was now or never. Scarcely touching the narrow cleats he shot downward to the storeroom. "Quick!” he ordered. "Follow me!” The glow of an electric torch clove the gloom and showed him beside the door. It opened; he caught Nellie’s am v iSb Carr Flung Himself Upon Him, Grasping His Wrist With a Grip That Twisted the Pistol From His Hand. hand; ami. the torch went out. "The way is clear,” he panted. "I don't dure to use a light. Follow me.” j Through the pitchy darkness he I dragged the girl on. Behind followed Captain Bunker. Overhead, as the three ran forward, they heard the stamping of racing feet and guessed that their plan was succeeding well. Abruptly Carr stopped. Overhead showed th^ glimmer of stars, brilliant against a background of velvety blackness. “Stairs! Careful,” he muttered, and took a step upward, drawing Nellie after him. Quickly but cautionsly the three mounted to the deck. The moon was shining just above the top of the mountain. By Its light he saw that the deck was deserted —not a man i was visible. But from aft rose an uproar that was music In the ears of the fugitives. An oblong of glimmering ocean showed where the cargo port cut the black bulwarks, and to this the three hurried. From it the lowered gangway ran down to the lapping water. Carr ' rang to it and stood aside. “Quick, Nellie," he commanded, and । the girl ran lightly down. "Now, captain,” and Bunker followed more ponI I derously. Carr turned for a last look along the deck. Just in time, for with a yell a man precipitated himself out of nowhere and hurled himself forward. Carr dropped ; then, as the man, unable i to stop, hurtled over him, he caught > the fellow’s legs and added his own strength to the Impetus. Not waiting to look, for the crash of the man’s head against the bulwarks ' had told him all he needed to know, Carr leaped down the gangway, just as i a yell from aft told that the mutineers had seen and guessed. Into the boat । he leaped, driving It from the side by i the Impact of his landing. Then he ; dropped on the vacant thwart behind ! Captain Bunker and snatched up the ■ idle oars. "Pull, captain! Pull!” he t cried, in uncontrollable excitement, r Simultaneously the sharp crack of a ; rifle sounded and a bullet whistled 1 overhead. ‘ CHAPTER XV : An Unexpected Challenge i The shadow of the mountain reached » nearly to the El Rio, and once away from the side the boat swiftly passed a the Une of the shadow and inelteiWnto I the night. Nellie sat at the stern with i the tiller ropes clutched in her soft i , palms. From the deck of the El Rio

came the roar of tumult. Men shouted and swore and pistols and rilles crackled. The balls whistled perilously close to the fugitives. A new sound arose and Bunker swore aloud. “They’re getting the j boats out,” he gritted. "We’ve got to hurry. Do you know where to go. Miss Archman?’’ Nellie was leaning forward, striving desperately to pierce the darkness. “No!” she gasped. “I —I—everything1—everything is so dark—” “Lucky for us it Is! They’d run us down in no time if they could see us.” The captain looked behind him. "Port your helm,” be cried. "Hard aport! Quick !” Nellie did not understand, but she obeyed the order instinctively and the boat swung round at a right angle— Just in time, for as it veered its side grated against a point of rock, and Nellie saw with a shudder that what she supposed was a bank of clouds was a line of low, overhanging cliffs that edged Hie shore. "Steady!” ordered the captain. • “Now, Carr, two strong strokes and then He on your oars and keep quiet.” The boat shot forward with renewed Impetus; then slowed sony*what ns the oars ('eased to drive It on. But It did not stop. Carr, watching the stars above the line of cliffs, saw that It was still moving quietly. "We seem to be In a current,” he muttered, almost inaudibly. the captain's ear. “We are. There’s a six-mile current along here, taking us right along. It’ll take us to the place where our party landed today, if we can get there before the moon gets over the top of the mountain we'll probably get away. Watch for the break in the sky line; you won’t be able to find it any other way. And now we'd better keep quiet." The moon shone vividly on the El Rio. but Uh* pursuing boats had passed into the heavy shadow of the Island and the mountain and were invisible. The fugitive boat drifted silently, guliled by the rudder and now and then by a cautious, almost Inaudible movement <>f Captain Bunker's oars. Abruptly Nellie moved uneasily and looked behind. "They’re coming this way." she murmured. The confused noises of the pursuers’ nars had separated themselves. One set had grown louder. Between the strokes the sound of the others could l»e heard more and inure faintly. Undoubtedly the boats had separated and one was seeking for the fugitives In the right direction. And It wns fast coming nearer. Cautiously Captain Bunker urged the skiff on, moving his oars so sllently that the others could scarcely hear them. Even the drops from the blades on the return stroke fell so short a distance they made no sound. “We’ve got to keep silent,” he whispered. “If they hear us they'll catch us quh ker'n lightning. Watch for that gash in the cliff. We ought to lie mighty near it now.” The pursuing boat was very near. Feverishly the three in the skiff scanned the ragged line of cliff that was beginning to show more plainly against the sky as the moon, still rising behind the mountain, cast its sheen over the sky. Suddenly Carr moved. “There It Is," he muttered. A gash, rapidly widening, showed in the sky line. With a swift but cautious stroke Bunker headed the boat inward. But Nellie leaned forward with a gasp. “Suppose they nre going in, too,” she panted. “Suppose they think ! we are trying to Join mother?” "Then they’ll catch us, unless we get ashore and hide,” said Captain Bunker, as he lay back on the oars and heaved mightily. Inward the boat shot, into a blacker gloom. Floating silently between the rocky walls the three dimly saw the , pursuing boat dash across the mouth of the gash and heard, above the rattle of the oars, the voice of the coxswain inciting the men to greater efforts. Quickly the sound died as the boat shot past the edge of the gash. Then J Bunker drew a long breath. “Touch and go!" he said, plunging his oars in ' the water. “Come on. Carr! They can’t hear us now. Careful, Miss Nel- ’ lie, watch the sky line and try to keep ’ us in the middle of the channel.” ' Nellie obeyed. She detected the beginning of the curve in the course of the deflection of the sky line and steered the boat around the curve and ’ into the straight way to the beach. 1 Then she uttered a cry. “They’re ' here,” she breathed. "Mother’s here!” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

JACKSON SWQRH IN ASGOVERNDR | Takes Oath With Van Orman and Mrs. White at the Statehouse. Indianapolis.—Another state administration began its course on Monday, j when Ed Jackson of Indianapolis becalm* the thirty-first governor of In diana, and F. Harold Van Orman of EAansville was inducted into the office of the state’s lieutenant governor at a ceremony which was held amid a gala । setting attended by hundreds of peo- | pie in tilt* statehouse corridors. While ! i the ceremony was under way the ; | chimes of t’hrist church played patri- I ■ otic airs. Following the inauguration of these two state officials. Mrs. Edward Franklin White, of Indianapolis, the | first woman to be elected to a state office in the history of the Hoosier commonwealth, became the reporter of the Indiana Supreme and Appellate courts, receiving the oath of office on the same specially prepared platform and in the same setting as j । । the two other state officials. Judge Travis Administers Oath. Judge Julius ('. Travis, of Indianapolis, chief justice of the Indiana Supreme court, administered to each of the three officials the customary oath of office, in which tlugv pledged themselves to protect and defend inviolate the federal and state Constitutions and the laws of the state. Simplicity marked the entire program of the inaugural, which placed on the shoulders of Mr. Jackson the burden which Emmett E’. Branch had carried since April 30. 1924. when he succeeded Warren T. MH’ray. Mr. Van Orman's elevation to the । position of second rank in the state official family meant the filling of an office which had been vacant since Branch, who then was lieutenant governor. left when he ascended to the | governorship. Mrs. White succeeded Will Adams, of Wabash, who was reporter for the last eight years. Jackson Introduced. As Governor Jackson came to the pbitform. he carried on bis shoulders j his three-year-old adopted son. Edward. Jr. The crowd cheered as the officials stepped on the platform, and Jackson waved to the crowd. Introducing him. Governor Branch said that this was a “happy day in Indiana." Governor Branch, nft‘*r a brief address. presented the incoming governor. who was inducted into office by Judge Travis. After the oath, the Purdue band played the “Star-Span-gled Banner" previously to the new i governor’s inaugural address. Jackson's Inaugural Address. After taking the oath of office. Gov. I Ed Jackson made the following brief address: “Honorable Senators. Representatives. Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: In assuming the obligation that the raking of this oath involves. I trust that 1 am duly appreciative of the ' very high honor conferred ujion me. I The holding of office cannot clothe | the holder with honor unless the office be honored by the conscientious discharge of its duties by the holder. The government belongs to the people. We who hold their commission are only their servants. The rights of the people must be guarded with an everzealous and watchful eye. We should stand firmly against the tendency toward too much government. The peoi pie have to bear rhe burden of their government, ami this burden should he made t^ rest as lightly as possible. We have, in my judgment, the best form of government in the world. We must permit nothing to insinuate itselt into our government that will weaken or be detrimental to it. Our govern-! ment is composed of three distinct de- j partments: the executive, legislative and judicial. The prerogatives of one department should not be encroached on by another. Courage Required. "In the discharge of the duties of i public office, the exercise of cahn. delilierate and unbiased judgment, as well as courage, is required. There will be those who will offer counsel . from a class viewpoint; also those whose counsel will be prompted by selfish motives; there will be others who will attempt to dictate and. fail- ! ing in that, will try to harm by criticism. Against all of these one must be fortified by manlv courage sufficient to do right uninfluenced and unde terred. A public servant owes all to those whom he serves. "I renew the pledge contained in the ' obligation just taken to discharge everv duty conscientiously, faithfully and ! fearlessly to the very best of my abil- ( ity. I have great faith in the God of ! nations, the Creator of all things. By 1 His grace and leadership 1 hope so to , j acquit myself that I may at all times ■ deserve and retain the confidence of the people and His approval.” Van Orman Gets Gavel Indianapolis.—ln the presence of : । friends from the state's "pocket” who I i accompanied him here to cheer . him as he took the oath of lieui tenant governor.
