 IN ORGANIZING THE LEGISLA AZURE
Contests Over the Presiding Officers SeCretayShips

Twas elected as an independent, Representative Burma is the senior member of the House of Represen. tatives, having been a member of the First and Second Legislatures, This seniority is aiding him in the contest.
 The lively contest for the secTe- taryship of the Senate between for mer Secretary A. E. Maltby and w. M. Eddy, of Nome, seems to be the one in which the two Senate elements have decided to measure their strength.
 The Chief CIerkshlp in the House Of Representatives had been coneed- ed to Barry Keown. Chief Clerk of the House in both the First and Second Legislatures, but he failed to arrive. and word comes that he will not be here at all. Two solutions of the difficulty have been offered. One is the election Of Harry F. Mor ton, who was Assistant Secretary Of the Senate at the two previous ses- sions, and the other IS the election of the defeated candidate for the se7retaryship of the Senate-Maltby CT Eddy.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Senator G. M. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, in charge of President Wilson's armed neutrality bill put into the Senate record at 3:3o o'clock yesterday morning, a manifesto signed by 76 Democrats and Republicans, which was designed to inform the country just who was responsible for the failure of measures which at that hour apparently had been hopeIessly blocked by a handful of ProgressiVes and Republicans.
 The Senators who did not sign the manifesto were: Democ"ats-Sena- tor Kirby, of Arkansas; Harry Lane, of Oregon; James E. Maritime, of New Jersey; James A. Lee, of Mis- souri; w. j.. Stone, of Missouri; w. H. Thompson, of Kansas; Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina and j. K. Vardeman of Mississippi. Re- publieans - Moses E. clapp of Min. nesota; A. B. Cummns, of Iowa; Henry A.

 The statement was signed by 55 Democrats and 29 Republicans.

An apparently deadIoeked Sen ate, which resulted in few sparks being struck by Senatorial debaters, an uncertain House of Representa- lives, and interest chiefly settled on ths next sessions characterized the opening of the Third Legislative As sembly today. Early in the day it became known that in all pro5a6il- ity the contests over the orsariza- tion Of the houses including the election Of offieers-the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, the clerks and other employ. eeS-would not occur at today's ses. sion. The conferences that have been going on for the last few days have not been productive of def. nits results.
 ..In the Senate more or less loosely drawn WiekerSham and anti Wiekersham division was disclosed. The three Democratic Senators, AL 59ieh, Roman and Sulzer. and Sena' tor Sundbaek, Republican, but elect cd as an Independent from Nome, voted together in all the roll calls. Senator Heekman, Republican, Sens- tors Sutherland and Gaustad, both Republicans but elected as Non- Partislns in the Fourth, and Sena- tor Hubbard, Republican, but elect cd as a Prosressive-Oemoerat in the Third. voted tooether.
 In tho House there was nothing to disclose the lineup. That was quo to the circumstance that Repre- sentative Murray is absent Repre- sentatiyes Allan and coonbs only arrived al the hour Of meeting, and the ballot for Speaker pro tempore was a secret one. Charles M. Day. who was chosen Speaker pro-tempore ia a Republican. but was elected on tho Progressive Democratic ticket, and is an active Wiekersham sup. porter. ". w.

 INTEREST IN ORGANIZATION
 The absorbing topic in both houses is the question of organization. Thic particularly eenters on the election Of presiding officers, the Secretary Of the Senate ard the Chief Clerk Of the House.
 Al this time the candidates most often spoken Of in connection with the Presidency of the Senate arc Senator Aldrieh and Senator Hub bard.

SITUATION UNPARALLELED

Ol OH ! ION ONTtNnNILELEO
 In his statement, President Wilson says in part: "The termination of the last session of the Sixty.fourth Congress by constitutional limitation, dlscloses situation unparalleled in the history Of the country, perhaps unparalleled in the history of any modsrn government, in the immediate presence of the crisis fraught with more subtle and far.reaching poss. bIities of national danger than any other government has known within the whole history Of its information. al relations.
 BLOCKED BY A FEW
 "Congress has been unable to act either to safeguard the country or to vindicate the elementary rights of it's citizens. Mere than 500 of 53f members of the two houses of Congress were ready and anxious to act. The House of Representatives has acted by an overwhelming ma. iority, but the Senate was unable to act because a little group of eleven Senators had determined that it should not.
 VAGARIEs OF LAW
 "The Senate has no rules by which debate can be limited or brought to an end; no rules by which diIatory tactics of any kind can be prevented. A single member can stand in the way of any action if he have but physical endurance. The result in this case Is a complete paralysis alike in the legislative and executive branches of government.
 "This inability of the. Senate to act has rendered some of the most necessary of the legislation proposed at the past session impossible at time when the need fc" 1t was most pressinu and most evident"
 PARALYSIS A PURPOSE
 President Wilson then refers to the failure Of the appropriations for the army, civil estimates and oth. CT bills and continued: "It would not cure the difficulty to call the Sixtyfifth Congress in extraordinary session now, as the paralysis in the Senate would remain. The purpose and spirit of action are not laekina now. Congress is more definitely united in thought and purpose at this moment, | venture to say, than it has been within the memory of any man now in Its membership. There is not only the most united patriotic purpose and the objects which the members have in view are perfectly clear and definite, but the Senate cannot act unless its lead CTS can obtain unanimous consent

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson took the oath of office at noon yesterday in his room in the Capitol building. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Edward D. White, of the United States Supreme Court. To- day the oath was again adminis- tered.
 Today the formal inauguration of President Wilson took place. Pres ident Wilson in his inaugural ad- dress said in part:
 "Although we have centered up- on counsel and action with such unusual concentration and success upon the great problems of domestic legislation to which we addressed ourselves four years ago, other mat ters have more and more forced themselves to the front. It has been impossible to avoid them. They have affected the life of the world; they have shaken men everywhere with passion and an apprehension they never knew before.
 "It has been hard to preserve calm counsel while the thought of our own people swayed one way and another under their influence. We are q composite and cosmopoli- tan people. We are the blood of all nations that are at war. "The cur rents of our thoughts as well as the currents of our trade run quick at all seasons, back and forth be- tween us and them.
 War Inevitable.
 War has inevitably set its mark from the first, alike upon our minds, our industries, our commerce, our political and our social action. To be indifferent to it or independent of it was out of the question. And yet all the while we have been con scious that we were not part of 1t. In that consciousness, despite many developments, we have drawn closer together, We have been deeply wronged upon the seas, but we have not wished to wrong or injure. In return we have retained through out the consciosAess of our stand ing in some sort apart and intent upon an interest that transcends immediately the issues of war it. self.
 Injuries Intolerable.
 "As some injuries done us have become intolerable, we have still made clear that we wished nothing for ourselves, that we were not ready to demand for all mankind fair dealing of justice and freedom,
