New York State.
WILL WORK FOR PEOPLE
Inaugural Addrens Dwells on Check
ing: of Apmrandizenient at Public
Expense and Hedges Effl
ciency in Office.
ALBANY. .. T.. Jan. 1. Charles ISvans
H UK lies today took the oath of office as
Governor of the State of New York, and
with his Democratic colleague began hit
two years term. The retiring Governor,
Prank W. HlKgrlns. formally surrendered
the reins of government to his successor
and left late today for his home, a pri
vate citizen for the flrt time since 1893,
-when he -was llr.it elected Senator.
In his inaugural address Governor
Hughes paid a marked tribute to Gov
ernor HifTBins. commendinir his public
services and conscientious devotion to the
interest of the state. The inaugural
ceremonies were unusually brilliant and
the attendance almost unprecedented.
Followtns them the new Governor held a
reception in the executive chamber and
this afternoon he and Mrs. Hughes re
ceived a cordial welcome from a very
large number of people from Albany and
elsewhere, in the usual publio reception
at the executive mansion.
The 130th session of the New Tork 8tate
legislature will convene tomorrow, and
practically all of the newly elected mem
bers of both, houses attended the Inaug
uration today. , 4
Inaugural Ceremony Brief.
The ceremonies at the Capitol occupied
little more thaji half an hour. Bishop
Burke, Roman Catholic, delivered a pray
er at the openlns of the proceedings,
which closed wltJi a benediction pro
nounced by Bishop Doane, Protestant
2ptscopal.
The oath of office was administered by
Secretary of State Whalen, following
which came the address of welcome by
the retiring Governor to the incoming
Governor and the response of the latter,
both brief. The inauguration was pre
ceded by a parade of various companies
and commands of the Third Brigade, Na
tional Guard of New York.
Governor Hughes, after a few words of
compliment to the administration of Gov
ernor HigKlns, addressed himself to his
"fellow citizens," saying lu part:
Cannot Reform Human Nature.
. "We have reason to congratulate our-
elves that coincident with oar prosperity
there 1s emphatic assertion of popular
tiithts and a keen reeentmen or public

tion or legislative action for ail the Ills
of society which spring from the frailties
and defects of the human natuse of its
members. But this furnishes no excuse
for complacent inactivity, and no reason
for toleration of wrongs mada possible
by the defective or Inadequate legislation
or by administrative partiality or -inefficiency.
"Whether or not we have laws enough,
me certainly have enough of Ill-con si derufxl
legislation, and the Question is not ats o
the quantity, "but as to the quality of our
present and our proposed enactments.
"slowly but surely the people have nar-
rowed the opportunities for selfish ag
gression, and the demand of this hour
and of all hours Is not allegiance to
phrases, but sympathy with every aspira
tion for the betterment of conditions and
a sincere and natient effort to understand

examination without heat or disqualifying
prejudice which distinguishes the con

change human nature by ' changing the

PENNYPACKER C01RTS INQUIRY
Asks legislature to Investigate Cost
;; of "ew Capitol. - -
HARR1SBURG. Pa., Jan. ' 1. The
General Assembly of Pennsylvania con
vened at noon today. After the organ
ization and reading of Governor Pen
nypacker's last message a recess was
taken until January 14. The Repub
lican party Is in a majority In both
houses.
Governor Pennypacker in his mes
sage deals with the controversy over
the decorattons and furnishings of the
new State Capitol. The erection of
this structure cost ?4, 500,000, and the
decorations and furnishings 19,000,000.
Charges of extravagance were made in
connection with expenditure . of the
$9,000,000, and the matter was made an
Issue in the last gubernatorial cam
paign. The money was largely ex
pended by the Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings, of which the Governor,
by virtue of his office, is a member.
The Governor courts an Inquiry, and
requests the Legislature "to investi
gate the charges.
"In the completion of the Capitol."
the Governor says, "the commonwealth
has accomplished .a difficult, and com.
plirated task In a manner which will
reflect credit on her for ages to come."
Continuing, he said In part:
The Capitol is all paid for, and has
been paid for out of revenues without
the lmposltl on of burdens on the peo
ple. Two alone of the railroads of the
commonwealth pay to her annually In
taxes $3,656,229, and. since they are
largely owned in London and New
Yorlc. tt is at least partial truth that
the Capitol Is only a return .to - us of
some of the wealth derived by the
stranger from our own natural re-
sources. Some of the most skilled ar-
tlsans and most capable artists now
living have devoted their efforts and
talents to its erection and ornamenta
tion. "No Important work was ever
achieved on this earth, whether for Jhe
betterment of human affairs, the en
hancement of human interests, or the
elevation of human sentiment, without
an aftermath of query, criticism, dis
sent, objection and even hostility. The
industrious farmer plows h is field for
next year's . crop, while birds of ill
omen sit along the fence and croak
their displeasure. The vapors from the
swampy grounds often obscure for a
time the very moon in the heavens.. It
would be too much to expect the Cap.
itol, beautiful In " Its proportions.
adorned with the wealth of the thought
of all past time and builded for the
centuries that are to follow, to escape
the whimpers of today, and If It can-
not be denied that the eyes of men
lighten and that their hearts warm as
they view Its wondrous success, at
least it can be urged that it has cost
a considerable sum of money. On this
subject I request and advise that you
make a thorough and complete inquiry."

DOVER. Del.. Jan. 1. The General As

George W. Sparks, of Wilmington, was

I. A FOLLETTE ACT INVAIiID
Judge McCall Says Railroad's Rela
tion to Employe Not Commerce.
MEMPHIS, Jan. l.-Judge MoCall, of
the Federal Court, today declared that
the LaFollette fellow-servants act was
unconstitutional. Mrs. Howard sued the
railroad company for damages because
her husband was killed while in the am-
ploy of the defendant. Judge McCall said
In part:
I am unable to bring- my mind to the con.
.elusion that the liability of a common car
rier to its employe for injuries is interstate
commerce, or commerce of any character
within the meaning- of the commerce clause
of the constitution. My conclusion Is that
Con Rrress is not authorized under the com

United States to enact such legislation, for
the reason that the relation of Interstate

GUTHRIE, Okla., Jan. l.-A large

day sent to- President Roosevelt a petl-
Uon, alleging inability on the part of
the railroad corporations properly to

SETS JACKSON IN MOTION

Brought Up Hearst Says
Mayer Acted Hastily.
ALBANY. N. T., Jan. 1. William Ran
dolph Hearst was prompt In accepting
the offer of the new Attorney-General,
William E. Jackson, to consider an appli
cation for a rehearing of arguments in
Mr. Hearst's petition for leave to begin
quo warranto proceedings to test the title
of George TV McClellan to the office of
Mayor of New York: city on the basis
ot the Mayorallty election of 1906, Mr.
Jackson had just assumed office today.
when a representative of Mr. Hearst's
counsel served on him an application for
re-argument. The Attorney-General gave
instructions that copies of the papers be
served on the attorneys of Mayor Mc
Clellan and informed both parties he
would give them a hearing next Monday,
January 7.
The application reiterates substantially
the allegations made before Attorney
General Mayer.
Further, It cites the developments of
the case before the latter and summarizes
his decision denying relief, declaring that
Mr. Mayer well Knew that the prima facie
proof of Mr. Hearst's election could not
be forthcoming without . opening the
boxes. The situation created by Mr.
Mayer's decision, says the application,
was practically this:
The Court of Appeals and the Legisla
ture had refused to permit the ballots
to be recounted upon the ground that
this should be done in quo warranto
action. The Attorney-General refused to
permit a quo warranto action to be
begun, holding In effect that the ballots
must first be counted. It further alleged
that the Attorney-General, "in a hasty
decision'' rendered four days after the
submission of the matter, incorporated
bodily a verbatim excerpt from the Cor
poration Counsel's analysis of figures, em
bodying glaring errors of addition and
subtraction, and that Mr. Mayer either
did not read the answering analysis or
wilfully misstated the facts.
