Slaton is Inaugurated
With Simple Ceremonies.

With ceremonies that gained in
strength and impressiveness through
their very simplicity, John Marshall
Slaton to-day became Governor OF the
state of Georgia, succeeding Joseph
NJ. Brown. The oath of office was
administered by Judge William H.
Fish, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, at 1902 o'clock.
Governor Slaton was indicted into
office in the presence of a brilliant
assemblage Of Georgia men and wom-
en-, including his own and the retir-
ing Governors family and intimate
friends, members Of the State Legis-
lature and prominent iurists. For the
first time in the history of the State
the United States was represented by
Judge William T. Newman and Judge
Don A. Pardee, of the Federal Court.
They occupied seats directly in front
of the Speakers stand.

They were given a tremendous re-

County capitol. Practically two
thirds Of the population Of Marietta,
headed by a reception committee OF
prominent citizens, met them at the
depot and welcomed them to the town
that had been their home for many
years before Mr.. Brown became Gov
ernor. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown plan to
spend the coming week in Marietta,
and will then retire for the summer
TO their Cherokee County farm.
Though the Inauguration Of Gov
ernor Slaton was simple, II is not
thought that his home life will follow
the same plan. Mrs Slaton Is recog-
nized as one Of the most brilliant
hostesses in Atlanta, and society folk
are all agos over the rumored plans
OF a brilliant social campaign which
II is generally understood Mrs. Slaton
will inaugurate as soon as she has
completed her establishment as the
first lady Of the State. An inaugural
reception will be held July 2.

Registration Of Voters.
We believe the present registra-
ton law should be so amended that
when a voter has once proven his
qualification by registering and
being enrolled he shall remain
registered voter unless disqualified
for cause due to himself.
The foregoing extract from the last
platform upon which | was elected, ex-
presses a principle which deserves uni
versal acceptance. II contemplates no
change OF the constitution which pro-
vides for the qualification Of the voter
| recommend that the present regis
tration law be amended to correct the
injustice indicated. II would always be
provided that the voter must have paid
his taxes and not subjected himself to
law.
Highways.
II Is needless to impress upon you the
importance OF our highways Their
value Is an asset Of the entire State.
An intelligent Highway Commission, or
Commissioner, clothed with proper au-
thority, could be the means OF untold
benefit in suggesting proper methods Of
building the road adapted to the local
ity, or In solving the problems OF engi-
neering which might arise In various
sections,
cali your attention to the Western
which terminates in 1918. No one, I ap-
prehend, would or should consider its
sale, but the problem OF its disposition
should be considered by a commission
with directions TO report its recon-
mendations and It's reasons therefor.
To delay this matter will mean to
put the State at the ineNcusable dis
advantage Of unpreparedness when the
time arrives for imperative action.
The Criminal Code.
One OF the fundamental purposes Of
government is the protection OF life
and safety OF the citizen. II the rules
OF evidence are so shaped as to pre-
vent the discovery OF the truth. and Il
sitting the facts, the judges and juries
are not TO be blamed n crimes are al
lowed TO go unpublished
II is an anomaly that defendant
should take the stand, make any state
ment that he sees nj or that his shrewd
lawyer has prepared. and being immune
from cross examination, demand that
the judge shall charge the jury that
they may accept his unsworn state
ment in preference TO all the evidence

Committee Tells Hopes.
The committee, in a statement to
the public, tells of its purposes and
hopes, saying:

lie mind to a knowledge of the past
shortcomings of medical education,
the evident cordial interest in plans,
wherever launched, to invest medical
education with a degree Of excellence
which Will protect the public as 1t
ought to be protected; the late ten
dency of private philanthropy to rec
ognize properly organized medical
colleges as deserving of its bounty
the recognition promised abroad to
the proposed institution, which rec
ognition could not have been obtained
as long as the colleges remained sep
arate; the strategic advantages of At
lanta as the site for a medical col
lege of superlative merit; the excel
lence Of the professional talent in the
city; the immense momentum i'm
piled in a united instead of a divided
professional energy-all these and
other considerations alike of senti-
ment and of common sense, have
seemed to us to constitute a respon-
sibility which It would discreet us to
neglect, and an opportunity which It

Laws to aid the hnances OF
Georgia and sweeping reforms
of the tax system of the State are

this source more than 500, 900 year,
and thought that such sum could rea-

The State, however, has not received

1913 the estimated revenue from this
source is $4S, 900

game that will in all probability go
far in deciding the championship of

The Spiders's defeat of the Yellow

great surprise to many, but the

again triumph today. Should they
win another from the league leaders,
the Spiders will jump to the front ana
stand an excellent chance to land the
cup, as but one more game will have
to be played by them. a postponed
affair with Hampden- Sidney. If they
lose. though, they will be out of this
running and the Yellow Jackets will
be the champions.
Even though Richmond college
should lose to the Presbyterians, If
they win the game today. the teams
would all be tied up and an ad-
ditional series would be necessary to
decide the winner.

ON FOOD STRIKE

where they were accustomed to eat

Captain Abeles and Coach Jim Wray
stated emphatically today that the
crews will not return to the training
tables unless matters ar fixed up sat
isfactorily to the oarsmen.
The Crimson, Harvard's undergrad
uate newspaper, has investigated the
accommodations at the Varsity club.
1t lays the blame for Harvard's recent
reverses on the water and track to the
Harvard Athletic association.
The Athletic association. arguing
that the Varsity clubs charge for food
was too high. has itself conducted the
training tables during the present COL
lege year. Dissatisfaction has been
expressed by the different varsity cap
tains at various times but there was
no relief,
The Crimson made a thorough In
vestigation of the athletes complaints,
which have been piling up, and found
that under existing conditions the men
at the tables have been unable to
keep in good health and in several
cases entered into meets unfit to do

.Evers Is At War
With Zimmerman

PHILADELPHIA. May 2o.-Fuel
was added to the fires OF discord in
the camp of the Chicago Cubs be-
fore the players left their hotel for
the park yesterday afternoon. Evers
and Zimmerman had a row. during
which the latter was threatened
with suspension without pay.
Zimmerman is said to have been
incensed by Murphys statement In
New York at the time the Cubs play
ed there that Zimmerman would be
able to play when he could get his
hat on with q shoehorn, charging
Heinie with having swelled head.
Yesterday afternoon Zimmerman
told Evers that he would not play,
as he was i'll They then had a red
hot argument, in which Zimmerman
declared that he was tired Of carry
ing the entire Chicago team on his
shoulders, and that he did not care
whether he was traded OF sold by
Chicago.
Evers informed Zimmerman that
he would either play or be suspended
without pay.
i During the fourth inning Zimmer-
man wos ordered of the field by the
umpire when he kicked" ON a de-
cision. Evers then ran out from the
bench and gave Zimmerman a call
down, and play was delayed for a
few minutes while the argument
waxed hot.

This new shell is considered very
fast and Is one of the lightest ever
used by the club.
The new gig is starboard-rigged

are now rowing in this order.
Much interest is being taken in the
