CEREMONY IS QUIET Reverent Audience Hears Pledge of Dedication - to State Service, Divinely Aided. (AancUtx! Prta Lrased Win.) CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 5. Dedicating her efforts to the state and "relying upon divine help for strength and guidance," Mrs. Nel lie Taylor Ross, at noon today, was sworn Into office of governor of Wyoming and became the first woman executive of any common wealth in the United States. In an atmosphere that was hush ed and reverent to the memory of the newly elected governor's late husband. Governor William B. Ross. Chief Justice Potter of the Wyoming state supreme court quietly administered the oath of of fice. The ceremony opened with on invocation by Bishop Thomas of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming. An audience that taxed the capacity of the senate chamber was strangely silent end undemonstrative as Mrs. Hoss spoke. There was an occasional furtive tear and choked sobs from those who recalled the tragic cir rumstances that resulted in Mrs. Ross' elevation to the office. Mrs. Ross' address was preceded by a short speech by acting Governor Lucas. .... Tho first woman . governor's Statement was short and simple, entirely In keeping with the atmos phere of the ceremonies, as was the widow's attire that she ware as she was escorted Into the cham ber by state officials and close personal friends, e In a low, clear voire Mrs. Ross addressed the assemblage only as "my friends," and then continued: "Owing to the tragic and unpre cedented circumstances which sur round my Induction Into office. I have felt it not only unnecessary, but inappropriate for me to nuw enter into such discussion of pol icies as usually constitutes an in augural address. "This occasion does not mark the beginning of a new administra tion, but rather the resumption of that which was Inaugurated in this chamber two years ago. It is well understood, I am sure, that it is my purpose to continue, as I am convinced It Is the desire of my state that I should, insofar as changing conditions will permit, the program and policies then launched. "I avail myself of this opportuni ty to acknowledge the gracious consideration shown me by Govern or Lucas, during the period he served as executive of our state and to say that I look forward confidently to that same degree of cooperation with him and with other state officers and with the legislature, that during my hus band's term lightened for him the burdens of offlcal life nnd contrib uted to his satisfaction and Joy In service. "In approaching the responsibili ties of this exalted office, I do so with a profound sense of the high obligation it imposes upon me. That the people of Wyoming . should have placed such trust in me In a large measure. I feel an expression of their recognition of my husband's devotion to their in terests and his contribution to the progress of the state calls forth In this solemn hour my deepest gratitude and challenges me to rise to the opportunities for ser vice thus made possible, and to dedicate to the task before me ev ery faculty of mind and body with which I may be endowed.

COMMENT WITHHELD Finance Agents of Alliei Assemble in Paris to Plan Distribution of German Marks. (AmcUtrd Fm Lrurd Win.) WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. The French memorandum regarding payment of France's war debt to the United States was transmitted today by Secretary Hughes to Sec retary Mellon for his "personal and private Information." Inasmuch as the document was presented by M. Clementel, French finance minister, to Am bassador Herrlck, as an unofficial and private communication, state department officials would make no comment upon the suggestions embodied in it. They did say, howHver, that "it was hoped the Clementel memorandum might be made the basis for a follow-up. The memorandum is understood to contain references to a settle ment plan Including a moratorium, with payment over eighty years from the time the moratorium ex pires, and interest payments dur ing the moratorium period at a rate of one half of one percent. Mr. Mellon becomes heir to this much discussed document by vir tue of his position sb head of the debt funding commission, author ized by congress to receive and act upon all offers of settlement by aeDt or nations. He is expected to lay the French suggestions before the commission within a few days. I'AKJH, Jan. 6. Final arrange ments for Wednesday's conference of allied finance ministers are be ing made and as the day draws nearer. Interest In tho sublects to be considered is growing more In tense. The chief ostensible aim of the conference is to annortlon tin. bil lion gold marks In reparations re ceived from Germany, but the gen eral impression Is that this busi ness will be overshadowed by what goes on In the lobbies and the words "inter-allied debts," are on every lip. Announcement of the appoint ment as delegates of American Am bassadors Kellogg and Herrlck as well as James A. Logan, the regu lar reparation commission observ er for the LniUd States, has serv ed to, stiengthen the public belief that the debt problem will be a subject of unofficial conversations and it is hoped these will help bring a solution appreciably near er. The thorniest problem before the conference proper is that of the American share in the Dawes plan yield. While France, Italy and Belgium admit that the United States has a right In equity, if not In law, to share In the proceeds. Great Britain denies such right. At the BMie time, those allies which admit the American claim ask that their own percentages be not af fected, thereby opening up an ex tremely Important question, name ly, the widening of the scope of ap plication or the Dawes plan.

Mrs. Erma Kemmesat arrested here Friday night and held upon a warrant issued at Portland upon complaint of Sol Werthelmer, who charged her with the theft of his big enclosed car and his bank roll, was released Saeurday evening, up on Instructions to Sheriff Starmer from Portland. She was given back her auto and the money which she turned over to the officers upon her arrest and was allowed to proceed to California, where she says she expects to start life anew. The case apparently is one al most as old as life itself; a foolish man, and a wise woman. Werthelmer, a Portland meat dealer, met Mrs. Kemmesat as she was hiking from Hood River to Portland, and took her to the me tropolis, where they lived together for several months. He also lived with her at Vancouver, in the state of Washington, according to her story, which if true, lays him liable to the Mann act Recently, according to the story as procured by Portland authorities and by Mrs. Kemmesat, Wer-the-imer's business has not been as good as formerly nnd - his debts have been piling up. Possibly In an effort to defeat his creditors, ho transferred title of his car to the woman, selling her the big machine for $10. the bill of sale being on file In Portlnnd. He was trying to get her to move with him to Utah, and shipped a number of articles from Portland to Ogden in her name. He gave her a cashier's check for $.ri?7 which she cashed at a Portland bunk, and then In com imtiy wllh P. S. Miller, one of Wcrthelmer's employes, started for California. Werthelmer, finding that he had been abandoned by the woman, and his lavish gifts vanished.

Mrs. Kemmesat quite openly dis cussed her relations wllh Wert helmer whom slie claimed had rep resented to her that he was a single man, after their first meeting. He had been married and was procuring a divorce from his wife, but sufficient time had not elapsed to permit him to marry again. The womnn claimed that he had not told her the truth concerning his past life, and that she had learned that lie hail been In pre vious trouble over women. ' "He did not like children," she said, "and thut was his real reason for divorcing his first wife.

COOPERATION NEEDED Told to Abandon Idea That Philanthropists and Providence Are to Save Him. (A-aoclated Preta Leaatd Win.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. De termlncd to present to congre:, ic, mediately some form of rel! j Ifgitl.uion for the cattle Indn -try, members of the president'! agricultural committee was cal led together today at the de partment of agriculture, after a rest of six weeks spent lu stu dy of information given them bf various governmental depart ments. With relief for cattle men scheduled for first considera tion, the commission next plan ned to take up the question of cooperative marketing apsitance for farmers. Cooperative marketing can and should be made a success in America, because It provides the best means of stabilising tho country's agricultural market ing organization, President Cool ldge declared today to the an nual convention t the national council ot farmer-' co-ooperativa marketing assoc'"'... ns. . Addressing at the Whit House the delegates to the- con vention, the president warned that co-operative marketing pos sessed no magical attributes, and asserted that it must start from the soil and be developed upward. "There la a school of cooper ators who seem to believe that the program can be atarted at the top and built downward," ha added. "They want the govern ment or the banks, or philan thropises or providence to lay out a scheme big enough to co ver the country, set Its machin ery moving, guarantee it all needed capital and then Invite the farmers to sit In the places reserved for them and proceed to garner their profits. Let me say that I offer no such Aladdin-like project. I want society as a whole to help; but I want the farmers to do their share and I warn them that this will be the lion's share." Idea Needs Fostering. Cooperative marketing, the president continued, must have Its beginning in small and. mo dest units and must train the people who are to use It to think cooperatively. He used aa an illustration the building up of the United States Steel cor poration, asserting that It never could have started from the top but that Andrew Carnegie built one section of it: another man built other sections and none at the outset had the vision ot 'the enormous concentration to wntcn their activities were tending.' The president also advised that cooperative marketing be approached aa a principle not a panacea. "It will not perform miracles," he said. "It will not accomplish tho Impossible, but it Is a sound, tried, demonstrated principle that must be Introduced as tl i basis of our agricultural ests ' lishment. It demands that t.
