SIMPLICITY FEATURE Of
HARMON INAUGURATION
0hio'S Governor Takes Oath of
Office and Then Resumes
Executive Duties.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 3.-Judson
Harmon was inaugurated Governor Of
Ohio today for the second time.
The ceremony was one of the simplest
in the history Of the state, the governor
merely stepping out Of his private Office
into the reception room Of the executive
chambers and there subscribing to the
oath of Office. administered by Chief JUS
tice Spear.
Mrs. Harmon, members of the family
and friends, officials and such of the pub
messed the oath taking.
Chimes Play "Hail to the Chief"
The chimes Of Trinity Episcopal Church
near the state house played Star Span
gled Banner" America "Blest Be the
Tie that Binds and "Hail to the Chief"
The governor then returned to his private
Office and began his regular routine of
work.
The omission Of an inaugural address
made the inaugural of Gov. Harmon un-
precedented. AS far as known the gov
ernors Of Ohio have always made an ad-
dress after their Inauguration outlining
their policies.
> Most of the democratic officials took
hold Of office today. Atlee Pomerene
was sworn In as lieutenapt governor. and
Wednesday he will be elected United
States senator. State Treasurer ID. S.
Creamer, Secretary of State Charles H.
Graves and Attorney General Timothy s.
Hogan were also sworn in.

sENAT0RsH1P CONTEST WARM.
Spalding Expected at California
CAPITAL to Lead His Forces.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, January 9.-The
contest for the United States senatorship
between Judge John D. Works and A.
G. Spalding is expected to become stren-
uous this afternoon when Spalding will
arrive at the capital to assume personal
leadership of his forces. His supporters
have been considerably cheered by his
consenting to be present during the ball
loting Their opponents, however. still
claim a victory for Judge Works. who
has the backing of many prominent men
of the dominant Lincoln Roosevelt
League.
The senate and house have fixed to-
morrow as the day for the separate
balloting.
The bitterness of the contest is largely
due to conflicting interpretations Of the
law on the advisory vote. Spalding car
ried the majority of the legislative dis
tricts at the election, and his supporters
contend that the law binds assemblymen
and senators to vote for him. Judge
Works, on the other hand. relies on the
fact that he gained a majority of the
total votes for the state.

TWO STREET MEASURES
PRESENTED TO SENATE
Extensions Designed to Help
Development of Eastern
Section of City.

Senator Gallinger today introduced two
street-extension measures recommended
by the Commissioners in the belief the
improvements will increase the develop
ment of the eastern section of the Dis
trict.
One Of the bills has for its object the
connection Of sections of Grant street
and Of Deane avenue northeast so that
they will be continuous streets from
Minnesota avenue to 5sth street north
east. There is provision Tor the con-
demnation of land to connect the termini
of two sections Of Grant street near 57th
street and near Castle place, and to con-
meet Deane avenue between termini west
of 48th street and east of 46th street.
These improvements are aimed to give
direct access to the city from the subur-
ban towns Of Burrville and Deanwood.
There is at present no direct access ex-
cept over wagon roads through private
property.
Cut Off Part of Hotel.
Another bill is to authorize the widen
ing and extension Of Minnesota avenue
from Pennsylvania avenue southeast TO
its present terminus near Eastern ave-.
nue. Under a recent law this avenue was
to be extended along a certain route,
but when the Commissioners came to lay
1t out they found that the right of way
cut off the corner of hotel at the south
west corner of Minnesota avenue and
Benning road.
The bill introduced by Senator Calling
er would give the Commissioners power
to prepare a new highway plan for that
portion Of Minnesota avenue between
East Capitol and F'oote streets so as to
provide q better alignment for said ave-
nue. and to avoid improvements lying
within said avenue"

dicti0n Over Decisions of
Military Boards.

view the proceedings in an army board
for the promotion Of officers, according to
a decision announced today by the SUI
preme Court Of the United States in the
case of Second Lieut.. Winslow Hart
Reaves of the Artillery Corps United
States Army
The case reached the Supreme Court
from the courts Of the District Of Colum-
bia. Reaves complained that he had been
dismissed from the army by reason OF
personal enemies and wanted the civil
courts to reinstate him.
Health Wrecked in Philippines.
In his original complaint Lieut.. Reaves
declared his health had been wrecked
by army service in the Philippines. While
in this condition, he said. he was ordered
to the artillery school at Fort Monroe.
He was then directed to take an exam
ination for promotion while he was on
sick leave. A second board of exam
iners reported him physically disabled for
service. 1T is said, owing to causes aris-
ing In his line Of duty.
However. on, third examination. five
months later, Reaves was pronounced
physically fit, but blank papers on mis-
mental examination were turned in.
ThereupOn Reaves was dismissed from
the army with one years pay.
