GOVERNMENT MAY
 TAKE SHIP PLANT
Lumber and Timber at Stonington
 Seized by Resident Agent.

What is assumed to be the first step by the United States government toward taking over the shipyard in Stonington was made when Resident Government Agent Lewis seized all the lumber and timber in the yard asd on the cars. excepting the timber owned by the New York capitalists, Hayes and Anderton. Several weeks ago Hayes and Anderton ,as previously reported, took over a greater portion of the lumber in the yard and on the freight cars that have been held up here for several weeks. George E.. Allison represents this firm in Stoning- ton and whether this concern will be interested in further vessel construc- ton at the yard cannot be stated at this time. The firms name has been posted on a lot of the lumber here for some time. If the government takes over the entire plant it is expected that ship building operations will be resun- ed on a. large scale and will proceed without interruption. On Monday sew eral of the men who have been em- ployed there went to the Noank yard to work.

WHITMAN'S INDUCTION
Military Display Unusually ElabO-
rate and Record Crowds Flock
to- See Exercises.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 1.-The
most brilliant meeting that has at
tended the induction OF a governor
in many years. characterized the in
auguration of Charles Seymour
Whitman Of New York Monday for
a second term as chief magistrate of
the state. The military display was
unusually elaborate and the crowds
that flocked TO the capital city were
the largest in a decade.
The feature of the governors in
augural address was a recommends
ton that the state make up to the
members Of the national guard, who
performed service on the Mexican
border. the difference between the
80 cents per day paid them by the
federal government and the SIPS a
day paid by the state for state ser
vice. such a course would entail
an expense of about S2.OOO0OO. the
governor said, but he maintained
that this burden could be borne bet
ter by the individual tax payers than
by the individual guardsmen.
