Vernon where they ave lived torty years, and where they will make their future home. Up to this time Gov. Horner has not yet made known any political appointments, but the heads of the various departments are expected to be released any time. However, there ill not be as many political jobs un-dei his administration as in the future. He remarked in his inaugural I'ddress that he wants the commerce commission reduced from seven members to five; the tax commission from live- to three; the parole hoard from nine to five, and all other boards and commissions reduced accordingly.

Gov. Horner began his new duties early Tuesday morning, arising 7 o'clock after retiring at. 2. Tuc'sllny morning, following the arduous ceremonies. He went to his office early, in the executive man -ion and began disposing of mass of oil'i-cial and private correspondence.

Four hours later he went to the state house and while the Legislature was in session occupied his suite there for the first time. His first act was to make a thorough investigation into the mine trouble at Taylorville. Ho designated an emissary to investigate the situation and to get a report to him at once. "I regard this matter a of imme-ciate importance and as soon as I get the facts I intend to calj in representatives of both sides to settle the dispute," he said. "Riiuand nmr- aers cannot be tolerated and whatever the cause is, it must be adjusted." Members of the Eininerson cabinet submitted their resignations ihat the new governor might appoint his own directors and commissioners, but he i said he would not no this until he has rted his office machinery in mo tion.

He will leave Springfield Friday for Chicago where he will confer with officials concerning various ap-tointinents to he made. P. M. OF A. TO HAVE MASS MEETING SUN.
