GOVERNOR STUART'S
INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The main features Of Governor
Henry c. Stuart's inaugural address
delivered at his induction into the
gubernatorial chair today will be
found on the first page of the Ga
zctte. From beginning to end his
words. show that he is a practical
man and that the people of the State
have made no mistake in calling him
with a spontaneous voice and a unan-
imous vote to preside over the des-
tinies of Virginia during the next
four years.
The new governors inaugural ad-
dress does not smell of the lamp, nor
is it literary crazy quilt, Astounding
in scriptural classical or historical
references, but is couched in COM
mon sense statements and sugges-
tions.
A large portion of his address con-
Germs the mode of taxation calculated
to produce more satisfactory condl-
tions in Virginia.
Mr.. Stuart calls attention to the
fact that he was not the candidate
of any clique or faction, and announ-
ces his purpose to perform his du-
ties for the welfare of all citizens Of
the commonwealth. He also states
that he has assumed the position OF
Governor without any platform.
The new governor is hailed by all
with acclamations, not only by the
great multitude who surrounded the
state capitol and heard his inaugural
address today. but by people through
out the Old Dominion all of whom
wish him prosperous admlnistra-
ton, and that when he shall have
stepped aside for his successor four
years hence he can refer with pride
to his administration as being among
the brightest with which our State
has been blessed.

Passenger Swan Two Hours, Holding
Wife's Hair in Teeth.

New York, Feb. 2-Out of all the
stories of suffering and courageous
behavior which attended the sinking
of the Old Dominion liner Monroe, Off
the Virginia coast, came today from
the lips of Thomas R. Harrington,
survivor, one which stood out for Its
tragic pathos.
Harrington, who arrived in New
York with a party of refugees from
Norfolk, was too sick and shaken to
talk Immediately after his arrival,
but this afternoon he told a simple
story of how he had battled in the
fog covered waters of the Atlantic to
save his wife.
81 saved her, but she died after
wards" declared Harrington, who
had swan for two hours holding MS
wife's hair in his teeth to keep her
face above water.

arm. grasped her and whispered
to her that would save her. don't
