BECkHAM INAUGURATED
Procession Was the Most Imposing Eve
Witnessed.
HE GRAVE ON GOV. GOEREL DECORATED
Governor Beckbnm Stated that the
state Guard Would BE subordi-
nate to Civil Authorities.

Fra nkfort, Ky. December u.--With
perfect weather and in the presence Of
vast throng of people from over the
State, another chapter was written In
Kentuckys political history today, when
Governor j C, w. Beckham was in
augurated for the remainder OF the term
for which William Goebel and William S.
Taylor contested last year.
With the booming of cannon at IL
o'clock the inaugural procession, the
most imposing ever seen on a similar oc-
caslon in this State, took up its march,
which traversed the main thoroughfares
OF the city. Two full regiments of the
State guard. the Duckworth club of Gin
cinnhti and many political clubs and civic
societies were In tine. 1t was about noon
whom the procession reached the capitol,
where the inaugural ceremonies proper
took place. A touching incident OF the
DAY was the decoration OF the grave of
the late Governor Goebei, which took
place at the cemetery this afternoon.
Governor Beckham in his inaugural ad-
dress did not refer to the murder of Will
lam Goebel, but devoted atmseH entirely
TO State matters. He thanked the people
for the honor conferred upon him by
electing him governor for the remaining
part OF the present term He promised
the State clean and just administration
Of its executive affairs in a spirit OF fair
ness and tolerance. with no feeling of
partisan hate or malice; with the sin
cere desire to remove as far as possible
all friction and ill-feeling from among
the people. He briefly stated some of
the leading policies by which he will be
guided in the admins tration OF the Of
nee and promised his cordial support In
the development Of Kentucky industrial
interests. He said 1t would be his policy
to keep the State guard in a nrst class
condition, but that the military power
shall always be in absolute subordina-
tion to the civil authorities. and shall
never be oslled into active service ex-
cept as last resort In carrying out the
/ DEGREES OF judicial tribunals.
