PHOENIX, Ariz., Doc. 31.—Prepa-
rations arc complete for the Inaugu-
ration of two men as governor of Ari-
zona tomorrow. Thomas E. Camp-
bell, republican, governor-elect, armed
with a certificate of election, will de-
liver an inaugural address somewhere
about the state house. A guard of
six men who have been on duty at
the governor's office since Saturday
have been Instructed by Gov. G. W. 1*.
Hunt to keep Campbell away.
Governor Hunt, It was stated today,
has prepared an Inaugural address.
The most Interesting development
of the day was the action of the chair-
man and secretary of the democratic
state central committee in sending
out a letter to the members of the
committee, calling for a meeting on
Jan. 10 to determine whether the
committee shall support the governor.
The letter is lnterprtted as a repudi-
ation of the governor, In the follow-
ing:
"We believe the welfare of the
democratic party and of this state to
be beyond the personal wishes of any
office holder or candidate, and we
are firmly convinced that its welfare
as a party, as well as the Interests of
the state, are seriously affected by the
expressed Intention of Governor Hunt
to refuse to surrender his office to
Campbell."
The town is filling up with out-of-
town adherents of both Campbell and
Hunt, and there are threats of a clash
tomorrow In the capltol. The police
and sheriffs office are taking meas-
ures to meet any disorder.
Counsel for Campbell Rtated tonight
that on Tuesday the matter would be
taken Into the court® in order that It
may be determined who shall be the
dc facto governor at the time of the
meeting of the legislature on Jan. 8.

KING CHARLES IV CROWNED AS
RULER OF HUNGARY.
Successor of Emperor Francis Joseph
to Divide Royal Residence Equally
Between Dual Monarchies.
QUITE OHMS
WASHINGTON, Pec. 31.-—In a
signed document addressed to the
nation, more than fifty prelates and
laymen of various denominations
representing many sections of the
country have united in a warning
against what they declare may lie
a premature peace In Europe which
"may bring u. curse instead of u
blessing."
Among the signers of the docu-
ment, made public here today, are
Lyniann Abbott, Presiaent Jlibben of
Princeton; Former Attorney General
Bonaparte, Winston Churchill, the
author; President King of Oberlin
college, Gifford I'lnchot, George
Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia,
Kev. William A. (Hilly) Sunday.
James M. Speer, chairman of the
Laymen's Missionary movement; Rev.
C. K. Nelson, Episcopal bishop of
Atlanta; Kev. Joseph K. Kerry, Meth-
odist Episcopal bishop of Philadel-
phia; Kev. Philip M. Rlnelander,
Episcopal bishop of Pennsylvania;

bishop of Massachusetts; Kev. Harry
E. Fosdick of Union Theological sem-
inary; Kev. Charles I'. Anderson,
Episcopal bishop of Chicago, and
Kev. William T. Manning, rector of
Trinity church, New York.
The address declares the Chris-
tians of America should consider the
right or wrong of the occupation of
Belgium, Poland and Hervia, the Ar-
menian massacres, the destruction of
merchant ships, the hardships of
Jews and Syrians, the "attempt to
array Moslem against Christian In
holy war" and should be reminded
that "peace Is the triumph of right-
eousness and not the mere sheathing
of the sword."
It further declares that the sign-
ers "view with some concern the
organized and deliberate efforts now
being made so to stampede Christian
sentiment as to create a public opin-
ion blindly fe.vorable to stopping hos-
tilities without adequate considera-

BUDAl'KST, Dec. 30, vlu London,
Dec. 31.—An assemblage of 1,5000
Hungarian nobles witnessed the coro-
nation of King Charles and Queen
Zitu. It was the most brilliant in
the history of the country. Not even
the crowning of Fronds Joseph pre-
sented such a spectacle of the king-
dom's wealth.
The coronation was entirely a
Hungarian event. No foreign princes
were present except King Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, who attended in the
capacity of u Magyar magnate, which
he is by birth. Frederick C. Pen-
field, the American ambassador, was
one of the few neutral diplomats
who were present.
Royal toe tunics.
King Charles was attired In the
red Hungarian uniform with a pale
blue mantle, black boots and gold
spurs. yueen Zita. wore palo bluo
brocaded silk with a white veil and
the diamond studded crown above a
dark cap.
The 4 year old crown prince was
the first of the royal family to reach
to church. The king and queen ap-
peared at 3 o'clock and the crown
was placed on the king's head by
Premier Tisza at the stroke of 10.
The service obliged the king to kneel
long and frequently and he moved
j uneasily while Cardinal Chernoch,
primate of Hungary, was reading
I prayers.

I king also put on the ancient St.

Imprisoned the chief of police and two
other officers last night became known
here today.
Allen Is In Jail here under special
guard—-a tribute to his skill in re-
sisting arrest.
When arrested yesterday on suspi-
cion of passing a worthless check,
Allen pressed a revolver against the
officer's side and forced him to march
past the police station. A moment
later the pair met Chief of Police
Robertson and Allen forced him to
accompany them. Later a third po-
liceman was encountered and Allen
marched the trio to the railroad yards
where the officers were iocked in a
box car.
Before the officers broke out of
their prison, Allen forced a .coal haul-
er to drive him out of town, the flight
being marked by a running revolver
fight with the officers. Several hours
later he surrendered after a posse had
surrounded a barn In which he had
taken refuge.
"A few more recruits like him," said
Chief Robertson tonight, "will solve
the question of national prepared-
ness."

There was cheering for fifteen min-

Later in the afternoon parliament
met in joint session and took of-
ficial cognizance of t>ie coronation.
The pressure of state affairs oblig-
ed King Charles to return to Vienna
tonight. He intends, however, to
spend six months of each year in the
Hungarian capital. The fact that
Emperor Francis Joseph spent little
time in Budapest led to a movement
to have a period of residence in this
city prescribed in the inaugural dip-
loma, but as soon as the king heard
of this he announced his intention
of dividing his time between the
Austrian and Hungarian capitals.

BROWNWOOD, Tex, Dec. 31.—
Brownwood entered 011 a building
era unprecedented In its history dur-
ing the year 1916 when contracts
for new buildings aggregating ap-
proximately $200,000 were awarded.
Although the city here does not
compel those contemplating building
new residences to secure a build-
ing permit before construction starts,
conservative estimates place the fig-
ures at those mentioned above. Of
this sum, $7 5,000 was invested in
twelve new store buildings erected
since Jan. 1, 1916. The remainder

p. m.—Emperor William has issued
the following order, addressed to the
army and navy:
"Again a year of war lies behind us,
with hard fighting and sacrifices, rich
in victories. The hopes which our
enemies put on 1916 have been foiled.
All their assaults, qast and west, have
collapsed owing to your bravery and
devotion.
"Our recent triumphal march
through Roumania has, by divine
providence, again added imperishable
laurels to your banners. The greatest
naval battle this year was our victory
in the Skagerrak, and the gallant
deeds of our submarines have secured
for my navy glory and admiration
forever.
"You are victorious in all theatres
of war on land and sea. A grateful
fatherland looks to you with un-
shakable confidence and proud re-
liance. The incomparable war-like
spirit alive in your ranks, your tenac-
ity, your never slacking will to van-
quish, your love of the fatherland, aro
to me a guarantee that In the new
year also victory will remai- with our
banners. God also in the future will
be with us."

Those
Resolutions
The following resolutions are printed he-
cause—in our estimation—the writer misses
the mark a little in the opening sentence. He
says, "I have resolved to eat more hash and
thus reduce the high cost of living." Such a
program is hardly commendable. The Tem-
ple State wants to see everybody have the
best things possible to eat. What a delight-
ful pleasure it would have been had our
Heidenheimer friend have resolved to raise
a few hogs, some chickens for the dining ta-
ble, a good garden, and keep a good milk
cow or two in the lot and—thereby not only
cut down the high cost of living, but also set
a better table throughout the year. On New
Year's morning—this morning—we want to
suggest that a program along this line be fol-
lowed instead of the kind that requires you
to stint yourself. If you are in need of funds
to make a start, remember the Temple State
is ready to serve you. With this greeting
and with the hope that 1917 will be a prosper-
ous year for you, we welcome this morning
the New Year with its bright prospects for
Temple, Temple's Trade Territory and the
Temple State.
Read these resolutions from our Heiden-
heimer friend:
Heidenheimer, Tex., Dec. 28, tqi6.
TEMPLE STATE BANK,
Temple, Tex.
1. I have resolved to eat more hash and
thus reduce the high cost of living.
2. I resolve to throw all my mail order
catalogues into the waste basket and join
the B. I. M. I. T. League; I'll be a booster,
not a knocker.
3. I will not worry over things that hap-
pened last year, but will plan for next year.
4. I resolve to talk only half as much as
1 did last year, and not try to attend to my
neighbors' business.
These are my resolutions.
Respectfully yours,
A. FRIEND.
