Ceremonies as elaborate as the event is unique surround the inauguration. The largest crowd ever to attend an inaugural was on hand. Most of these were unable to see Mrs. Ferguson take the oath of office, but met her at the inaugural ball and reception in the evening. The induction ceremony was itself brief and simple. The program called for a short prayer; administering of the oath of office and then inaugural address of the new governor. To Mrs. Ferguson, her inauguration represents the final stepping stone to clear her family name from the stigma of her husband's inpeach-ment- .

In 1920 he aimed higher and sought the presidency of the United States, running on the American party ticket. Two years later he ran for the United States senate and made a good race in the first Democratic primary, only to lose in the runoff with Earle B. Mayfield. Early last year he again announced his candidacy for governor, but his impeachment barred him from ever holding office in the state the courts held. He had his wife make the race. She weathered two heated primaries and then defeated her Republican opponent, although she ran for behind the rest of the Democratic ticket. She made her opposition to the Ku Klux Klan the principal plank of her mously, first, to invite Trotsky to submit effectively to party discipline; second, that his retention on the war council must be regarded as impossible; and, third, that the question of the further employment of Trotsky on the executive committee be postponed until the next party congress, with a warning that hi3 continued disobedience would entail his removal from the political bureau and the executive committee. According to the communication, Trotsky wrote to the committee regretting his inability, owing to his illness, to attend its session, and declaring that he had kept silence in order to spare the Communist party. He vigorously denied he favored revising Leninism or that he belittled the role of Lenine. Trotsky added that he hismelf regarded "Trotskyism" as ended politically and said he had not forseen that his book on the revolution would be made use of on the political platform. Regarding the accusations against him of lack of discipline, Trot-zk- y wrote: "I reply emphatically that I am ready for any task, in any post or outside any post and under any cons trol imposed by my party.

Women's clubs and civic organizations here have started a campaign against the activities of young women designated as "vamps" and men called "sheiks," as a result of official disclosures touching on the night life of Miss Dorothy Ellingson 16, who shot her mother to death when the parent objected to the company and hours her daughter was keeping. Miss Ellingson revealed, after her arrest in a rooming house here forty-eighours after the shooting, that she had taken $45 from the room In which she killed her mother and danced and drank at a party on the evening following the killing. The slaying of Mrs. Ellingson by her daughter was the subject of much comment from the pulpits of the varSome of the most ious churches. prominent pastors in the city dwelt at length on the episode. All of the discussion stressed the need of more solidarity in the home and society. Up until Sunday the girl's age was accepted at 16. Word received from Lon Angeles, however, set the authorities off on a new angle of investigation. Mrs. Eric A. Bloom, who claimed to have had the care of Dorothy in December, 1912 and January 1916, notified the police here, they said, that she was positive that her former charge was now more than 16 years old. "She was 5 years at the very least when she was with us." Mrs. Bloom is reported to have said. "She might even have been 6." In response to this development, Dorothy said, that she would be 17 next April. She said her father was going to send East for her birth cerMeanwhile the police antificate., nounced that if it were developed that the girl is 18 she could be held liable to the death penalty instead of imprisonment for life, although a woman has never been subjected to capital punishment in California. Frank J. Egan, public defender, retained by the girl, announced that the defense will be based on mental irsince childhood. No responsibility scientific witnesses or alienists will be employed, however. Visitors, some merely curious, others there to offer consolation called at the city prison. Among them were Earle, the brother and Joseph Ellingson, the father, both of whom at first refused to have anything to do with the case. They have become reconciled with Dorothy and are making every effort to aid her. TO HOLO PLACE UTAH REPRESENTATIVES WOULD PLEADS FOR REVERSAL OF JUDG.

Invasion of private homes in Utah by officers, agents or employes of the state, or of any municipal subdivision thereof, engaged in the enforcement of the prohibition laws in Utah, without a search warrant, is to stop, if the measure to be introduced in the house by Representative Ray S. McCarty is passed. The bill proposes to amend section 3354, compiled laws of Utah, 1917, relating to intoxicating liquors and the power of the officers to make search and seizure, and the amendment to this section is that the words "or any city judge," the latter word being inserted, and the words "title 54 of the compiled laws of Utah of 1917" is being violated. The words "and also to the attorney general" are omitted from the concluding sentence of the section. Then follows the addition of three sections, which read: No search war"Section 3354-A- . rant shall issue to search any private dwelling occupied as such, unless it is being used for the unlawful possession, manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor, or unless it is in part used for some business purpose, such as a store, shop, garage, restaurant, hotel or boarding house. The term 'private dwelling' shall be construed to include the room or rooms used and occupied not transiently, but solely as a residence, in an apartment house, hotel or boarding house. "Section 3354 B. Any officer, agent or employe of the state of Utah, or any municipal subdivision thereof, engaged in the enforcement of the prohibition laws of this state, who shall search any private dwelling, as defined in the preceding section and occupied as such dwelling, without a warrant directing such search, or who while so engaged shall without a warrant directing such search, or who while so engaged shall without a search warrant maliciously and without reasonable cause search any other building or property, shall be guilty of a felony. "Section 3345-C- . Any judge or justice of the peace who shall issue a search warrant, before the affidavit provided for in section 3354, compiled laws of Utah, 1917, as amended, is made and filed, or in blank, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

A scar on her leg which prevents her from wearing thin hosiery forms the basis of a suit filed in the district court by Miss Blanch Reener, 20, against the International-Grea- t Northern railroad for $11,500 damages. Miss Reener lists the scar among injuries received when she stepped from a train at Huntsville in Cleveland, Ohio. Pleading In his own behalf for a reversal of the verdict which found him guilty of heresy, Bishop William Montgomery Browa addressed the board of review of tb Protestant Episcopal church. His prepared address follows in part: "Brethren of the Review Court I thank you for allowing me to speak in my own behalf. I shall .refer to just one episode of my appearance before the trial court, in the hope of securing for it the influence it should have upon the issue of your deliberations. "I was asked if I believed the creeds, and I said I did. then I repeated the apostles' creed, subscribed to it with uplifted hand as each inspiring symbol renewed tny faith in life and light. "Feeling that you would be lacking in patience and I in the strength necessary to extended remarks on this occasion, I made a leigthy appeal to your court in a printed memorial ,and believing that you will do me the justice of carefully weighing its representations, I can at this time content myself with repeating that confession of my faith. " 'I believe in God.' not, to be sure,, in a God with arms and legs and with that human attribute that we call personality; but in the in who we live and move and have our being, and to whose laws we must all conform if we are to attain the most abundant life. " 'I believe in God, the Father Almighty.' Not, to be sure, in a literal, biological sense is my God a Father. as Not a being with masculinity, every father must literally be. I use the word symbolically a precious symbol of the infinite reality which has brought us all things into being as parts of itself. " 'Maker of heaven and earth.' Not to be sure, a manufacturer or sculptor, as the minds which first codified this creed conceived their anthropor-morphi- c God to be. Because of the revelations of science, which were denied to them, my heaven and my earth are infinitely more complex than theirs. And the symbol 'Maker' must be applied to those universal laws which govern infinite circles of changes of which their great but ignorant minds were wholly unaware. " 'I believe in Jusis Christ, His only Son, our Lord.' Once again, not In matters of history I literally. must be guided by the researches of historians, who are necer.sarily ruthless in their criticisms of ecclesiastical lore. Nevertheless, regardless of historians shall what conclusions the reach, I accept and rcverance symbol of the Son of God the human manifestitation of all that is true and beautiful and good.

Porter, who is chairman of the for- eign affairs committee in the house of representatives and head of the American delegation at the international opium conference, received a cablegram from the Japanese government expressing its appreciation of his friendly act in maintaining amicable relations between Japan and the United States. The message is a sequel to Mr. Porter's initiative in urging the foreign relations committee at Washington to adopt a definite adverse report against the resolution introduced in the house of representatives recently by Representa-tativ- e Britten for a conference of white powers bordering on the Pacific.

Salt Lake City. Headlights in Governor Dern's message to the legislature are: 1. We shall never be assured of the intelligent voting until we adopt the headless ballot. The present election machinery in regard to the form of ballot presupposes a degree of illiteracy ignorance that we should be ashamed to admit. 2. The e ection of the judiciary and the state superintendent of instruction a year 1 allowing the presidential election would go far toward taking these important branches of government out of politics. 3. Any expenditure that will cut down doctor bills and funeral expenses and save human lives is well spent. 4. An efficient judiciary is essential in good government. 6. The benefits of the department of finance and purchase have not been commensurate with the expense t justify its retention. 6. The state should live within its means. The chief concern should not be to seek new sources of revenue, but to decrease expenditure. 7. The accomsession plishments of a legislative are not to be measured by the number of new laws enacted. 8. The most pressing question in government today is economy. 9. If the interior department's position in state lands is sustained it will leave title to all state lands In chaos. 10.
