Exercises at Noon
Arriving here on Monday and re-
signing his seat in the Senate on
that evening, Governor Sproul
will be inaugurated at noon on
Tuesday at the grandstand at Third
and State streets. Prior to that
time, he will be escorted to the Gov
ernor's office in the Capitol by Sena-
tor Crow, chairman of the inaugural
committee. There he has requested
newly-appointed heads of the sew
eral departments to meet him at
11.30 o'clock ard Governor Brum-
baugh has issued a similar request
to the present heads Of depart
ments.
At 40 he will leave the office
and be escorted to the grandstand
where the event will take place. The
Union League members, together
with 200 Boy Scouts, each carrying
large American flags, will act as this
escort.
In the meantime, preparations
will have been made in the Senate
Chamber for the swearing in of
Lieutenant Governor-elect Beidle-
man. This will take place shortly
before noon and after he has de-
livered his inaugural address. he will
proceed to the grandstand in front
of the Capitol where similar cere-
monies will have taken place.
No Governors salute will be fired
here at the conclusion of the cere-
monies The only cannon at the
State arsenal is quite diiapidated
and no person, cares to brave the
danger that may result in its firing.
Some of the cannon were comman-
deered by the government during
the war. A salute fired from ma
chine gun would be unsatisfactory,
and in consequence it has been de-
cided not to fire>a salute at the con-
clusion of the ceremony. At the
end of the address of Governor
Sproul, the inaugural parade, which
will have been formed previously,
will move off.
Promptly at 11.30 o'clock the
