KOHLER, of Kohler, millionaire industrialist, at high noon today became the 26th governor of Wisconsin since the state was admitted into the Union. Five thousand people were in the -capitol to witness the simple, yet colorful ceremony.

At the same hour, four other state constitutional officers took the oaths of office for new terms. These other officers who were inaugurated are: Lieut. Gov. Henry A. Huber, Stoughton, who today began his third term -in that office.

State Treasurer Solomon Levitan, who rose from a pack peddler to his present office, and who today began his third term in that position. Secretary of State Theodore Dammann, Milwaukee, whose second term commenced today. Atty. Gen. John W.

Reynolds, Green Bay, who began his second term. At the same time, Fred R. Zimmerman, the retiring governor, became just plain Mr. Zimmerman once again. Reception This Afternoon This afternoon these constitutional, officers were holding receptions in their offices.

The legislature will meet Wednesday morning. Occasion Brilliant The bunting-draped platform in the south wing, center, of the capitol, on which the state and national emblems hung in heavyfolds at the comers; the brilliance of band uniforms of the Kohler band that accompanied the executive from his home near Sheboygan; the severity of a few full dress coats on some of the officials and the supreme court members, and the spec-: tacle of the main rotunda crowded with citizen onlookers in contrast to its usual marble-pillared quiet, all contributed to the brilliance of the occasion. The solemn intonation of the promise to uphold the constitutions and laws and perform the duties of office to the best of their ability, made by the five incoming officials at the behest of Marvin B. Rosenberry, acting chief justice of the state supreme court, the quiet dignity of their inarch from the governors office to the stand and the echoes of spirited and solemn music from the Mozart singing club of Madison and the band as their music, swelled through the 400-foot open well in the center of the capitol; the brilliance of winter sunshine through the dome windows on a gigantic American flag, hung down from the fifth floor rail; all these lent impressiveness to the installation of the officers. The official members of the party sat on a rostrum on the southwest corner.

To the right of the speakers stand from which William R. Bag-ley, Madison attorney, and master of ceremonies sat the officers with their escorts. The governor-elect sat at the extreme eni with Mr. Zimmerman on his left. Rosenberry Speaks The only address was by Justice Rosenberry who dwelt at length on the duties of the officers under the constitution.

The taking of this oath is not A mere formality, it binds you to the observance of a constitutional standard and your failure to measure up to that standard w-ill subject you to the just censure not only of the laws but of your fellow citizens, Justice Rosenberry warned. Mr. Bagley then announced he was presenting the officers to make their oath. The retiring and incoming governor then came forward Mr. Zimmerman holding Mr.

Kohlers left arm.

The three motors propelling the huge army endurance craft to new records, hummed an even song as the seventh day of the flight was two hours old. (By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES With no precedent to guide her now in a flight seemingly without end the proud monoplane Question Mark today approached her seventh day of sustained flight with the finish not yet in sight.

Every endurance and distance flight record known to man and bird perched on the wide wings of the tri-motored Fokker as she droned onward to answer the question put to her by the army air corps how long can an airplane stay In the air? The 139th hour of continuous flight was passed at 2:26 a. m. at which time the five officers aboard lacked only five hours of having lived without great discomfort for six full days in the air. In the words of the men themselves the longer they siay up the better they like It. Motor Trouble Repaired Motor trouble which developed Saturday night apparently had been eliminated and the plane, which stayed high and close to this airport so as not to be robbed of official credit for record breaking endurance flying in case of a forced landing, swung out over the San Fernando valley yesterday afternoon, her motors again singing merrily and her tired crew happy once again after passing the second crisis of the adventure.

The motor trouble, caused by fouled plugs, was eliminated by Capt. Ira Eaker, chief pilot, when he threw open wide the throttle of the big liner, and brought the lagging cylinders back Into action. It was considered so serious at one time Saturday night that Maj. Carl Spatz, In command, ordered all men to their posts to be ready for a glide to earth. The first crisis was Caused earlier last week by combined fog, clouds, bad weather and threatened fuel shortage.

Breaks Last Air Record The Question Mark, which took off from this airport at 7:26 a. m. New Years day, claimed the last aircraft endurance record yesterday morning when it soared past the estimated 118 hours of continuous flight made by the ill-fated Dixmude, lost in the Mediterranean. The monoplane already had beaten the mere recent and better known endurance and distance record of the Graf Zeppelin, which covered 111 hours, 34 minutes and 6,500 miles in its limping voyage to America last fall. Shortly after eclipsing all heavier-than-air records, the ship doubled the previous endurance refueling records of airplanes, and at the 131st hour last night had remained aloft double the time that an airplane ever flew before.

It is estimated that the ship in its amazing demonstration of mechanical and air-worthiness has flown between 10,000 and 12,000 miles, nearly half the distance around the world. Suffering From Cold An entry by Captain Eaker at 4 oclock yesterday morning indicated what the fliers have to contend with is low temperatures. It said: "Just took over the control for. an hour. I found it too cold for me at 6,000 feet and dropped to 4,000.

We are suffering from cold more tonight than any night so far. One of our windows blew away today and there is a howling gale in here all the time. Shortly i thereafter Major Spatz, wrote: Everything is in readiness for a forced landing. The plane will not hold its altitude on two motors. I believe our hearing has been temporarily affected because to all of us oussjght tells us a cylinder is gone but our hearing tells us nothing.

Income Tax Blanks Not Available Yet Assessor H. R. Briggs Will Mail 28,000 Of Them Late In January Income tax blanks will not be available until the latter part of this month, according to County Assessor H. R. Briggs who reported that he already had received numerous requests for the blanks.

About 28,000 blanks are to be mailed to Dane county residents, according to Mr. Briggs. The county assessor declared that about 18,000 Dane county residents now pay Income taxes and that about 3,500 informations on partnerships, trusts and the like are filed. Scientists say the misuse of leisure by the masses will make necessary the creation of a special governing class that will compel the masses to work more earnestly, use their leisure more intelligently. It is a little too soon to judge the masses and their misuse of leisure.

Ihey havent much leisure now, and until recently they didn't have any, except on Sundays. Those that really misuse leisure and opportunity are not the poor amusing themselves in their own way, but the rich, that have power and lack intelligence or ambition to make good use of it. Dr. Elliott, of New Yorks ethical culture school, says those that teach ethics to children should have a sense cf sin. The teacher, says the learned doctor, should first convict himself of sin.

Just how convicting yourself of sin would help your pupils is not clear. Abelard was a good teacher, but otherwise imperfect. More important than a sense of sin knowledge of evolution, including the fact that children, if normal, all pass through a state of savagery, even of animalism. Emotions appear in human bodies in the same order as in the animal ranks first fear, then anger, then jealousy. The Apaches cruelty is bom in them, and the Arabs pilfering.

Whoeyej. expects, children to be Engels forgets his own childhood. Dr. Johnson did not like the saying, Who rules oer free men must himself be free. He said: You might as well say, Who drives fat oxen, must himself be A teacher needs knowledge and common-sense kindness.

When this was written, yesterday evening, the army monoplane Question Mark had almost reached 130 hours of continuous flight, surpassing by many hours all records for all kinds of machines, lighter than air included. That is an honor to our army, our airplanes and engine manufacturers, and it is important to future flying for various reasons. One difficulty in ocean flight has been the great weight of enough gasoline to make the distance. All remember the difficulty that ocean fliers have had getting oft the ground. Lindbergh, shortly after his return, told this writer, The sensible route to Europe is via the Azores, with a stop there to take on fuel, starting out with ajighter load.

Question Mark proves that no stop is necessary. One or several planes could fly up from the Azores, taking fuel to trans-Atlantic fliers. Midocean stations might answer the same purpose. Air mail will be able to go straight through from coast to coast, refueling in full flight, and passengers should soon make the ocean to ocean trip inside of 24 hours. Eventually more powerful fuel and less weight, or wireless power, will solve the problem.

When iron boats run by steam were first suggested for trans-Atlantic work serious engineers said that even if they could cross the ocean they could not possibly carry enough coal for the trip. Rabbi Feinberg says science and religion should unite, not quarrel. Humanity needs a more scientific religion, and a more religious science," says the rabbi. The wise old Greek told the tyrant that the world would become happy when kings became philosophers or philosophers became kings. The tyrant did not like the suggestion.

Religion resents any suggestion of change or modification, and quite nat- urally, since modification is confession an earthly origin. The rabbi remembers how the great sj-nagogue in Spain excommunicated Maimonldes, with many curses, because the wise Greek philosophy into Hebrew, invented and used new Hebrew words, the old Hebrew language possessing no words to express abstract thought. Maimonides did not worry. He had a good job as physician to the Khedive of Egypt, a Mohammedan in Cairo. Neither Jews nor Christians could get at him.

Court O. K.s Michigan Habitual Criminal Act LANSING, Mich. UP) The habitual criminal section of the state criminal code was upheld by the state supreme court today when it affirmed the conviction of Fred Palm, Lansing jr Wife, Dempsey On Last Journey With Tex By The Associated Press! IAMA BEACH, Fla. George L. (Tex) Rickard, who travelled an adventurous road from cowboy to millionaire and found more gold in making boxing champions than in the Klondike, 'was on his last-journey today.

Rickard died in the Allison hospital here yesterday on the sixth day of an illness which followed an operation for appendicitis New Years night. The body of the promoter whose name topped all the rest of the world of fistiana, was being borne to New York, the scene of his greatest triumphs, on the Havana special, of the Florida east coast line railroad. Mrs. Rickard, who had kept a faithful vigil beside her stricken husband; Jack Dempsey, who loved the promoter as his best pal; Walter Field, Rickard's friend, and Steve Hannegan, representing the city of Miami Beach, accompanied the body. Rickard died gamely fighting the vicious inroads of peritonitis infection which followed the operation.

Rickard, accompanied by his wife and child, came to Miami Beach recently as head of the Madison Square Garden corporation to superintend opening of a greyhound race-track and arrange heavyweight match between Young Stribling and Jack Sharkey. He was stricken Tuesday in his home but was not removed to a hospital until that night, when physicians diagnosed his illness as acute appendicitis. An immediate operation was performed. Rickard was pronounced on the road to recovery until Friday night, when he suffered a relapse. Peritonic infection developed.

Throughout the night Mrs. Rickard kept vigil as she had done almost con-1 (Continued on first sport page) Wounded by A Burglar, Youth Says Arthur, 17, Is Shot In Chest At His Home; Condition Good Arthur' Sanborn, 17-year-old son of John B.

Zim Is Still Ambitious For Another Term Johns Says People Will Right Injustice At Future Time Fred R. Zimmerman, who today went out of the governors office of Wisconsin after one term, still has ambitions to become governor again, it was indicated today by Col. J.

L. Johns, who has been his executive secretary. Talking to newspaper men Just before the inaugural ceremonies in the capitol today, CoL Johns said: "I expect to live to see the day when the injustice done to Gov. Zimmerman will be recognized and he will be elected to a new term as governor. I think history will show that only under two previous gubernatorial administrations has as much Progressive legislation been passed as has been adopted during the regime of Mr.

Zimmerman. Those other administrations were those of the late Robert M. La Follette and of Francis E. McGovern." CoL Johns does not believe the Zimmerman tax bill of 1927 will be altered in any material respect by the 1929 legislative se. "The exemptions for the man of small income should be higher," Col.

Johns said, but it is doubtful if it should be changed from its present cash basis. The colonel does not believe there will be any reduction in taxes, no matter who is governor." The only way taxes can be reduced is to speii less money, he explained, and as long as the communities want good roads, good municipal buildings, and such things, the state cannot lower taxes. Col. Johns believes the 1929 legislature should create a pardon board that would be employed on a full-time basis. The governor at present is forced to devote too much of his time to considering evidence and facts in pardon cases, he said.

The former was before the senate with Sjn. Borah, leader in the fight for the pact, confident that an early and favorable vote on it would be made.

The house ways and means committee had called 60 witnesses for the scrutiny of the, tariff with first attention planned for the duties on chemicals, oils and paints.
