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

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.

which believe, that, while the Unit

Its case to the court's ruling, it

It Is confidently expected that

Car and Money Restored to
Mrs. Kemmesat on
Saturday Night
GOES TO CALIFORNIA
Expects to Provide Home
for Herself and Girls With
Money Given to Her
by Portland Man.
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. Issued a
larceny charge and procured a war
rant Portland police, however,
found thnt the charge could not be
supported nnd ordered tho wo
man's release from custody.
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. I
brought my two little girls with

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.
Individual shall surrender ion
part of bis complete indepenc.
ence for Bis own and lor tl i
general good. It means that -a
certain authority must he dele
gated and when delegated It
must be supported. There must
