NATION CANNOT
ABANDON RIGHTS
SAYS PRESIDENT
County Drifts Toward More
Active Participation in War
Than an Armed Neutrality

Washington, March 5.-President
Wilson's inaugural address was as fol-
lows:
My fellow citizens:
The four years which have elapsed
since last l stood in this place have
been crowded with counsel and ac-
ton of the most vital interest and
consequence. Perhaps no equal pc
riod in our history has been so fruit
tuI OF important reforms in our eco
nomic and industrial life or so full
OF significant changes in the spirit
and purpose of our political action.
We have sought very thoughtfully to
set our house in order, to correct the
grosser errors and abuses of our in
dustrial life, liberate and quicken the
processes of our national genius and
energy. and lift our politics to n
broader view of the peoples essential
interests. 1t is a record of singu-
lar variety and singular distinction.
But | shall not attempt to review IT,
1t speaks for itself and will be of in
creasing influence as the years go by.
This is not the time for retrospect.
1t is time rather to speak our thoughts
and purposes concerning the present
and the immediate future.
Although we have centered coun-
sci and action with such unusual con-
centration and success upon the great
problems of domestic legislation to
which we addressed ourselves four
years ago, other matters have more
and more forced themselves upon our
attention, matters lying outside our
own life as a nation and over which
we had no control, but which despite
our wish to keep free of them, have
drawn us more and more irresistibly
into their own current and influence.
Cannot Avoid Problem
1T has not been possible to avoid
them. Theyhave affected the life of the
whole world. They have shaken men
everywhere with passion and an ap-
prehension they never knew before.
1t has been hard to preserve calm
counsel while the thought of our own
people swayed this way and that un-
der their influence. We are a compos-
lite and cosmopolitan people. We are
of the blood of all the nations that
are at war. The currents of our
thoughts as we'll as the currents of
our trade run quick at all seasons back
and forth between us and them. The

and executive branches of the gov
ernment.
a little group of wilful men, rep
resenting no opinion but their own,
have rendered the great government
of the United States helpless and con-
temptible.
Action Incredible
Although as matter of fact the
nation and the representatives of the
nation stand back of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit, the impression made abroad
will. of course, be that it is not so, and
that other governments may act as
they please without fear that this gov
ernment can do anything at all. We
cannot explain. The explanation is
incredible"
Although Senator LaFollette had
intended to bring his fight on the neu-
trality bill to a dramatic climax by de-
livering long speech up to the hour
of adjournment. he was prevented by
parliamentary maneuver by which
Senator Hitchcock, leader of the rs
members who favored the bill and
wanted to vote, occupied that time
with speech of his own.

about $4,000, and will be borne by
the congregations of the eldershiu.

Maurice E. Finney, of the Eighth regi-
ment this morning when a reporter for
the Telegraph broached the idea of a
public drill of all Harrisburg Guards
men in Market Square.
Il am heartily in favor of . public
drill by the National Guardsmen, but
not at the present time" said Colonel
Finney. There is too much work to
be done, with the spring inspection
coming on and the impossible condition
of the streets. AS soon as the weather
conditions are favorable and the work,
now commanding the attention of the
guardsmen is completed | am in favor
of the drill and will do all 1 can to aid

Captain George c. Jack, of the Gov

project as is Captain of Police Joseph

that the police would do everything in

Washington. March 8. - President
Wilson believes the killing of the arm
ed neutrality bill by the Senate fill
buster before adjournment yesterday
may effectually prevent him from ex-
ercising executive prerogative to arm
merchant ships. and advocates imme-
diate reform of rules by the Senate at
the session called for to-day, to pre-
vent small minority from holding up
legislation in the future. After 12
senators led by Senator LaFollette had
defied the wish of an overwhelming
majority to vote on the neutrality bill

death, President Wilson issued q
statement denouncing the obstruction

LEBANON LAWYER
MET WITH FOUL
PLAY, DIR. SAYS
Impossible For Shirk TO Habe
Sent Two Bullets Into His
Own Brain

Lebanon, Pa, March 5.-Dr HES
ter Bucher, of Reading, who was sum-
moned to Lebanon to assist in per-
forming an autopsy upon the remains
of Howard c. Shirk, the lawyer who
was so mysteriously shot, declared to-
day that his investigation leaves no
doubt that the man met with foul
play. According to DIR. Bucher it
would have been impossible for him
to send two bullets into his brain, as
the first caused death. DIR. Bucher
stated that the dead man had a severe
bruise on the head and that it drew
blood from the scalp, leading to the
belief that he was knocked down with
a heavy blow.
Not His Pistol
The theory that robbery was the
motive of the crime is secuted by DR..
Bucher. There was nothing to indi-
cate it, he said. 1t is said that a clue
to the supposed murderer of Mr.. Shirk
has been furnished to the Lebanon
county authorities by the widow of the
murdered bank president and leader
of the Lebanon county bar. Mrs. Shirk

Since 1861

Washington, March 3. - Inaugural

that threatened to spill rain or snow
at any moment. A cold raw wind
whipped the rain-soaked decorations
of the capital and swept the water

under drenching downpours for nearly
a week
Hours before the time for the cere-
monies at the capitol the city was
astir making the final preparations
for the show Pennsylvania avenue was
covered with a thick coating of fine
sand TO dry the route of the process
sion. Troops assigned to the Presi-
dents guard or to the procession were
moving through the city to their
places; platoons of Boy Scouts as
signed TO assist in preserving order
were marching to their posts. Thou

on the reviewing stands were beginning

OF put steel cables strung from the

the avenue absolutely clear of every

No Morning Engagements
president Wilson was up at 8
O'Clock and took breakfast before nine
with members of his family and his
house guests. He had no engage
ments before the time of his departure
for the capitol at IL o'clock. His
inaugural address which was sent to
the public printer late last night was
returned to the White House early this
morning and finally gone over by the
President.
The President had a touch OF cold
yesterday but was better this morning
and although worried over the inter-
national situation was said by his
physician to be in good condition for
the inaugural ceremonies.
The wind switched about and stirred
up the rainy looking clouds and some
blue patches appeared in the sky
Then the sun broke through and flood
ed the soaking streets and stands with
its warm rays for few moments, only
TO disappear again. 1t began to look
as If it might clear up enough to avoid
