By Associated Press. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 2.—John Alden Dix. a democrat, was ronneiiy inaugu rated governor of New- York state at noon toaay. He succeeded Governor Horace White, who became chief ex ecutive last October when Governor Charles K. Hughes, resigned to become an asaociate justice of the Fnited States suin-eme court. Surrounded by a iiriliiant galliering in The great assembly chauiber whjch had been appro]U'iately decorated for the occasion, (’lovernor White relin quished the office of chief magistrate to Governor Dix. the first (iemocratic govei’noi to as.suine the office in IS years.

Governor Dix was ijw'orn in pri- vateiy at his liome on Saturday. Governor D;x i;aid in part: “The end of all .government should be ihe preservation of true liberty— that liberty which guarantees to ev ery man the fullest measure of indi- vid’i’.al right consistent w!th a proiier maintenance of the rights of ail others and at the same time preserves and maintains the collective rights of the members of the slate. “Under the constitution such liberty we possess in New' Yorl;. It must be our constant aim to so strengthen and extend the exercise of personal and alienable rights by individuals as to bring to the state the greatest grow^th and highest development of which our citizenship and resources are capalile. “1 am succeeding to the governorship w'hen business training and under standing seem absolutely essential to the proper administration of public af fairs. “Great as are the public resources of our commonwealth, expenditures and outgo have grown in a measure out of all proportion to the revenue of the state and we seem commitlfed to an outlay which w-ill not alone tax to its full extent our income, but de mand that we draw upon the future in a way which, in my opinion, is of, very doubtful wisdom. ^ ^ * by M G F.

Moisant was light-hearted New Orleans. La., Jan. 2.—“The world of aviation lost two of its best men when John B. Moisant and Arch Hoxsey were killed Saturday,” said Charles K. Hamilton, the Avell-known airman last night. “We always told Moisant that he w'ould come to grief sooner or latei' if he did not stop mak ing those sudden dives to earth. “It's all righr to make a sharp dive in a biplane, but never in a monoplane. With a biplane it is an easy matter to navigate on account of the front con trol, while on a monoplane there is no such apparatus," continued Hamilton. “Hoxsey, who wa» killed shortly af ter Moisant went down to his death, was a wonderful air man and he en tered the game only in F'ebniary, 1910. He and Moisant werf> friends, having competed against each other at liel- mont Park recently. “it's hard luck, two of tlie best air men to go, and on the same day.” Hamilton stated that he would con tinue to fly, but would never enter a contest like the Michelin cup distance event. “There is not enough money in it for the work necessary," he said. Roland G. Garros &aid: “To have known John B. Moisant, either as a man or a navigator, was a privilege, and to have been his associate was an honor." Moisant. according to Garros, made liis first ascent in a monoplane of his own design and construction, a ma chine ca.pable of MO miles an hour. Garros likened Mois-ant’s daring on that trip to that of a man who had never been in an automobile and would try to perform a difficult drive In Oldfield’s 200 horsepower racer. Talks of Moisant. “When Moisant ascended he found himself going up so fast that he could not control his machine so he shut off the power and tumbled liack to earth, a distance of 90 feet, preferring to take his chance in this fall than a trip to the clouds in a monoplane he could not control,” said Garros. The same white flag which w'as us-ed played his genius. On the sugar plantar tion in Salvador owned by himself and his brother and sif:*ters ihe dead aviator introduced labor saving de vices designed by himself lor practical use on the plantation. One of Ihe most important of these was a pump operated by w'ave power _,nd Ihe machine ojierated continually three months before it was stopped for repairs. Some of his inventiona were projected by patents and were beginning to yield him a good reve nue. One of Ihe most spectacular feature* in connodion with the death of .Tohii B, Moisan! war, the recorcl-l)reaking run made by an old, worn-out locomo tive v.'ith a flat car hitched lo it, on board of which were tlie aviator and some of the most prominent men of New Orleans. The run was made from Harrahan fo this city, a distance of 12 miles, in lo minutes, including two StO])S. It was only by chan-^e that the loco motive v.as on ihe siding, not far from where the aeicdent occurred, Tho moment Moisant w'as seen to fall, some one .started for the engine and told the fireman to fire up. The trip was in vain i)'it :1 Is believed a record was establisl'.ed for a i’ast run on. a Soutliern railway. One of the most pathetic things incl- (bmt to the deaiii of John B. Moisant, and one which most greatly affected his grief-stricken sister and broth*' was- the wailing of Moisant’s jiet l;i», for Iiis ret Ill'll. Ttie little anlina which was a “tortoise-su-Jl cat” and, had been given him by ihe school chil dren of Pari.s for a mascot after liia cross-city flight there, wa‘4 ihe dead aviator ii most cherished ))(;ssession. Each evening wlien he returned from Ihe meet.^T his fir.st act v.as to pet the kitten and feed it. Last niglit, seeming almost to kno-\v that something was wrong, the kitten searched about tlie room, meowing for its master. The sisters, in tears, tried to comfort the kitten, but it refused to be satisfied and continued its search un'ii taken from the room. The kitten nestled under i\Ioi&ant’f! sweater when he made his famous flight around the Statue of Liberty in .New York and it will be tenderly cared for bv the si:-ters becausc tlie dead air man loved it so.
