Hindenburg Takes Oath as President of German Nation
Marshal Rumbles "I Swear"
Amid Tumultuous Roar
From Galleries in
Riskhaven
Berlin, May 12—Facing the Reichstag, where friends and enemies sat silent for a moment after the tumultous rear that greeted him. Paul Von Hindenburg, erstwhile marshal of the Imperial armies, spoke today the oath of office that made him president of the German republic.
"I awe," rumbled Hindenburg in his graff deep voice known to his staff and soldiers in war time, "to dedicate my life to the people, to augment their advantages, to shield them from misfortune, to observe the constitution and laws, to perform my duties and dispense even hard justice.
"So help me God," he added, using the religious formula, which was optional and which was omitted by the late President Ebert.
Immense Crowd Calls "Hoch"
A storm of cheers and crys of "hoch" burst from the crowded galleries and was taken up by an immense throng of men and women out in front, held in check by innumerable police. Flags of the old empire, in red, white and black again today out-numbered those of the republic as
The familiar imperial song "Deutschland Uber Alle," swelled from thousands of throats beyond the German border, and the new president left the rostrum and marched from the building, past an honor company of his old regiment to the automobile which he took to the Wibh-Wilmens palace.
President Sewars Aliegence
Throughout inauguration day, the
paradox of Hindenburg's presidency
was manifest. Himself loyalty devoted to the former kaiser, the president sware allegiance to the unconstitution, which would be treason if a monarchy were restored.
The defeated general had become the trumpet statesman and, Hindenburg, who was denied the anticipated Christmas dinner in Paris in 1938 and enjoyed a festive presidential breakfast in the Wilhelm-Strauss palace in 1925.
Later, the president issued a message to the nation, repeating his inaugural oath and declaring he stood for no single class, race or religion.
"I trust in God," the message continued, "and I trust in the vitality of the German nation, which has been proven during its proud past. I believe that justice will protect Germany a dignified position in the world."
"I hope that horesty and peaceful achievements will 'exonerate' the German nation from the unjust accession which still is upheld."
Thorsten Cooke of the Columbi National Bank of Kansas City, Mp will lecture on "The Risks and Rewards of Business" in the auditorium of central Administration building at 8 o'clock May 12.
"I greet all who suffer most of all.
I greet the laboring populace. I greet all old folks and invalids as well as youth.
Here Hindenburg was understood to refer to the guilt for the world war.
Mr. Cooke is a well known busi-
ness man and a very entertaining
speaker. The lecture is open to all
who wish to attend but especially
called to the attention of the
students of the school of business.
The presidential message concluded by saying Hindenburg hoped he could lead the German people to peace and freedom.
Thornton Cooke to Speak on Business Problems

Question of State's Evidence Taken Up at Davis Hearing
Information Involving Son of Former Governor Is Not Allowed by Judge
(United Press)
Topeka, Kana, May 12—With completion of the jury shortly after court opened this morning, the legal battle in which the state is attempting to convict former Governor Jonah M. Davis of soliciting and accepting a bribe as payment for a pardon, got underway.
Counsel for Davis asked the court to compel the state to confine itself to the charge against Davis that he solicited a bribe to pardon Walter Hawkins. Davis was sentenced to prison in connection with shortages in the bank.
Ed Rooney, for the state, intends in his argument, "every act and every declaration of every one connection to the general design is admissible."
Davis and Mrs. Davis entered the court room early and spoke to friends and acquaintances amoun the spectators.
Evidence Questioned
Both sides have argued for and against admission of evidence concerning the alleged acceptance of $2150 by the Governor's son, Rusian Kudzumbe, to a pardon. Mudge James A. McClare ruled that it was not competent evidence to try to prove the commission of one crime by offering evidence of the commission of other crimes". He requested the state not to accept evidence in the case involving the Governor's son in which the Governor himself
to make any references to other acts in the case involving the Governor's son in which the Governor himself was not involved.
Despite Judge McGure's announcement regarding mention of the case involving Russell Davis, the attorney for the prosecution were able, in the opening statement by I. H. Veske, to bring in conversations between the Governor and Pollman and Glenn Davis in Kansas City last year. To avoid giving Glom Davis that, if he would see the former Governor's son and pay him $1250, Pollman would receive a pardon.
The defense attorneys objected vigorously to any mention of the conversations and the court rules reference to the amount.
Grundy Case Reviewed
Veale reviewed the circumstances surrounding the Grundy case.
"Because he knew Governor Davis, Al Gawald went to Topeka in the effort of obtaining a pardon for Grundy," said Veale,
"Davis introduced Oswald to Peterson, state bank examiner, and said, 'Peterson, this is Oswald. Do what you can for him.' The Governor left and then the solicitation of the brite, which is charged in this case, was made."
When Vcele had closed his opening statement, Frank J. Ryan, secretary of state, was called to the stand.
Peterson, according to Veale, told Oswald it would cost $4,000 to obtain Gruddy's pardon. Later this month he wrote in a column "because of Oswald's objection."
