THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1916. OPEN DATE IN : , THE RESIDENCY March 4, Falling on Sunday, Defers Inauguration to Day Following. LAW OVERLOOKS POINT Washington. Nov. 13. (Special.) the fact that March 4, inauguration av. falls in 1917 on Sunday it causing bore or less academic discussion. The tatter has been sonsidered informally y many official and by members of he cabinet, senators, and congress- nen who stand close . to President Wilson. No one has reached a definite (inclusion as to the precise legal solution., , r ; The outKOing president usually wlds office until noon of the day of he inauguration s of his successor, i'rohably law or Mate paper signed y him on March 4 before noon would e held by the courts or by congress o be legal and of full force and effect. Likewise, any similar action by the ew president in the afternoon of that Hay would be of full legal force. Sec Letarv Lansine. on whom would fall khe responsibility of acting as presv llnt ait interim, accordion to the view b! some authorities, has acknowledged hat he has reached no conclusions re tarding the technicality and knows of none readied oy oiners. nc iu quite sure that no situation will arise nor will any necessity be likely which nil impose on mm tne nnti aumumj f a chief magistrate, - i Precedents Exist Attorney General Gresory is an other members; of the cabinet whose Mention has Ween drawn to tne per .tvinff miffttinn of who would be nriHnt in the Sunday interval. His (riew is that no precedent exists under which to formulate a legal opinion as lo the necessity for any intermediate folding of the office. Little light ii afforded by examma lion of the law provided by congress to meet the contingency of the failure for any cause whatever of a president o perform the duties of his office. ,This law has drawn by the late Sen ator Hoar of Massachusetts and went into effect in 1886. tt provides that in case of "the removal, death, resigna ion, or Inability of both the president wd vice president- of the United itates, the secretary of state shall act is president until the disability of the president or vice president il removed or a president elected." I In case there should be no secre tary of state, or he should be unable to act, then the secretary of the treas ury should act, and so on in turn, if each member of the cabinet according to priority of the office should be un able to act, the one next lower should be president pro tem. This law, how ever, was not enacted to meet what will happen March 4, 1917, which is not regarded a a legal official or .legislative day. " This is not, either, the first time March 4 has rolled around on Sunday. 'the first inauguration of t Andrew Txckson fell on the day of rest. So lid Rutherford B, Hayes inaugara ion. In those cases the oath of of- ice was taken on March i, the Satur- iay before the actual beginning of the lerm of office, and the new president noved into the White House on Mon iay, the 5th, which, of course, avoided ill criticism from good people who did not believe in moving into a new louie on Sunday. In thort. the legal view of induction into office seems to depend on the qualification of the principal rather than the time or place of Inaugura tion, Andrew Tohnson took the oath of office as president at the Kirkwood house within an hour alter the deatn of President Lincoln, and later n peated it before the United States senate. Congress has fixed the time when a term of office begins, and if the president-elect has taken the oath of office in the proper and legal man ner any time before hit term begins he is regarded aa qualified to enter on his duties whether they begin on sun day or any other day. i If! Mr. -Hughes were elected presi dent and should take the oath of office on Saturday, March 3, 1917. he would ipsa facto be president of the United Mates according to law and prece dents at the stroke of high noon I March 4, even if he should happen to ' be listening to the benediction from ! ur. ureene in lalvary church, or him self singing the doxology.

Full details of the recent proposal to the Brazilian parliament by the Brazilian Society of International Law for the formation of a league of neutrality to resist trade restrictions and other encroachments by belligerents were made public to day through the official Gazette of the Brazilian parliament. The pro posed league would consist of all present neutrals and would ; spring automatically into effect whenever another war broke out.

In case a consular or diplomatic official should be con cerned, his credentials would Be handed him at once. If it is proved unavailing, hostilities might follow. The report, while directed at all belligerents, is more concerned with British trade violations. The efforts of the United States are recognized, but are declared ineffective. The allied blockade is particularly criticised. A case is cited in which a Brazilian ves sel from the United States to Bnzil is alleged to have been seized, tafcen into Martinique! and forced to sur render some of its merchandise bound to Brazil. i - The Brazilian report created great interest in official circles. South American nations have been hard hit by British trade restrictions and some time ago an official announcement was made in Chile that the Chilean ambassadori to the United Statea, Brazil and Argentine had been re quested to seek joint action on the British blacklist. The State depart ment, however, says that as yet neither the Chilean nor the Brazilian proposal has been definitely submitted. How Are Your Bugs? U.

Of remote antiquity is the familiar saying, "In time of peace prepare for war," which may be traced back from George Washington's ."To be pre pared for war is one of the most ef fectual means of preserving peace," through Burton's citation in the "An Otomy of Melancholy" of the inscrip tion m the Ventian armory, "Happy it that city which in time of peace thinks of war," and Shakespeare's ("Henry V," ii, 4 It is most meet, we arm us 'gainst the foe; , For peace- itself should not so dull a kingdom, Though war nor no known quarrel were in question, But that defenses, musters, prepara tions, Should be maintained, assembled and collected - - - i 1 As were a war in expectation, : to the "In pace ut sapiens aptarit idonea bello" (Like as a wise man in time of peace prepares for war) of Horace and tne Uui oesiderat pacem, praeparet bellum (Let him who de sires peace prepare for warl of Ve- getius.

' AUTO COVERED WITH GOLD -' Decorations on Exhibition Car Cost the Makers a Fancy Sum. , A well-known automobile firm re cently finished one of its six-cylinder chassis, of regulation size and of the most recent design, in pure gold at a cost of $25,000. All told, 350 ounces of the precious metal were used in covering some 3,000 parts. Certain of the smaller parts-such as nuts, were made entirely of gold. The ex terior of the engine was finished in the same material. ? Gold stripes dec orated the wheels, which were fin ished in white enamel. The chassis' was made in the fac tories of the owners and the finish ing was done by a firm of locksmith and metal workers. The smooth gold finish enables one to observe the working bt the various parts- to ad vantage. This unusual piece of auto mobile construction was made for ad vertising purposes and eventually will be exhibited in the principal cities ot America, after which it will be dis played in several automobile centers abroad.

The New Haven correspondent of the Central News telegraphs the following remarkable story of the sea: "One of the most extraordinary voyages ever made across the At lantic has just betn completed by the Vigilant, a small American tug, be longing to New York and bound from St. Johns, N. F., for Cardiff. Two days out from St. Johns, which it left a week ago last Sunday, the Vigilant experienced terrific weather and on the fifth day sent out S. O. S. calls, the captain fearing it would founder. The Holland-American liner Ryndam picked up the signals, and proceeded to its assistance. , "The captain and .twelve of the tug's crew were taken off by the Kyndam which was bound tor Rotter dam, but three men refused to leave. They were the second mate, Robert Ferguson, a Scot, the third engineer, Thomas Walsh, an Irishman, and an American fireman named John Smith. "Taking control of the ship, these three men overcame tremendous dif ficulties and actually succeeded in bringing it within sight of the Irish coast, where they were picked up by a British patrol vessel. Ferguson was locked in the wheel house and the other two in the engine room. The terrible weather prevented them mov ing and they remained at their posts for fifty hours, without food, 'water or sleep. Several parts of the ship were smashed in the gale, including the shaft of the dynamo in the engine room. This caused the tug to be in total darkness by night, and added to the terror of the situation."
