NIilburn House. Buffalo, Sept, H.
President Roosevelt reached Buffalo
at 40 this afternoon, accompanied
only by his private secretary, William
Loeb, Jr. When he left the train an
escort of the Fourth signal corps
formed about him and conducted him
to an automobile which his friend,
Ansley Wilcox, had in waiting.
The President rode to the Wilcox
home, where he stopped to dress and
then went to the Milburn house to
make his official call of coincidence.
The place selected to take the oath
of office was the library of Mr.. Will
coX's house, n rather small room, but
picturesque, the heavy oak trimmings
and the massive book cases giving all
somewhat the appearance of legal
den. A pretty bay window with
stained glass AID heavy hangings,
formed background and against this
the President took his position.
Surrounding him We're the five men,
bers of the Cabinet, Secretaries Root,
Hitchcock Long, Wilson and Post
master General Smith. Nearby were
senator Chauncey NJ. Depew Judge of
the Court of Appeals Haight John
Scathard, Mr.. and Mrs. Ansley Wilcox,
Miss Wilcox, George p. Sawyer, Drs.
Mann. Park and Stockton. Mr. and
Mrs Carleton Sprague, Mr.. and Mrs.
John G. Milburn, secretary to the
President, William Loeb. Jr.; Secre-
tary to the deceased President, George
b. Cortelyou; DR.. and Mrs. Charles
Carey, r. G. Scathard, j. ID. Sawyer,
William .Jeffers of the United States
Senate, and judge of the United
States District Court, John r. Hazel.
Judge Hazel stood near the Presi-
dent in the bay window and the latter
showed his almost extreme nervous
ness by pluclling at the lapel of his
long frock coat and nervOusly tapping
the hardwood floor with his heel. He
stepped over once to Secretary Root
and for about five minutes they con-
versed earnestly. The question at is
sue was whether the President should
first sign an oath of office and then
swear in, or whether he should swear
in first and sign the document in the
case after.
At precisely 3:42 o'clock, Secretary
Root ceased his conversation with the
President and, stepping back, while
an absolute hush fell upon every one
in the room, said in an almost in
audible voice:
''Mr. Vice President, L" then his
voice broke and for fully two minutes
the tears came down his face and his
lips quivered, so that he could not
continue his utterances. There were
sympathetic tears from those about
and two great drops ran down either
cheek of the successor of William Nc
Kinley. Mr. Roots chin was on his
breast. Suddenly throwing back his
head, as if with an effort, he continued
in a broken voice:
Il have been requested on behalf of
the Cabinet of the late President, at
least those who are present in Buffalo,
all except two. to request that for rea-
sons of weight, affecting the affairs of
government, you should proceed to
take the constitutional office of presi-
dent of the United State"

AUTOPSY SHOWS CAUSE
OF PRESIDENTS DEATH

Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept. ID
The following report of the autopsy
upon the remains of President McNin-
ley was issued ut . o'clock:
The bullet which struck over the
breast bone did not pass through the
skin and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls ~
the stomach near its lower border.
Both holes were found to be perfectly
closed by the stitches. but the tissue
around each hole had become gan
grcnous. After passing through the
stomach the bullet passed into Inc
back walls of the abdomen, hitting
and tearing the upper end Of the kid
ney. This portion Of the bullet track
was also gangrenous, tue gangrcne In
volving the pancreas. The bullet has
not yet been found. There was no
sign of pcrtonitis. or disease of other
organs. The heart walls were very
thin. There was no evidence of any
attempt at repair on the part of ma

FUNERAL TRAIN SPED FROM
BUFFALO TO WASHINGTON

Only the rumbling of the trains
wheels, the sobs from men and women
with tear-stained faces, and the dole
full tolling of the church bells broke
upon the ear. At several places, Will
transport, Harrisburg and Baltimore,
the chimes played CARDINAL Newman's
grand hymn. Taken altogether, the
journey home was the most remarkn-
bic demonstration of universal person
al sorrow since Lincoln was borne to
his grave. Every one of those who
came to pay their last tribute to the
dead had an opportunity to catch n
glimpse of the flag-covered bier elevat-
ed to the view in the observation car
a the rear of the train.
There was no other spot of color to
catch the eye on this train of death.
The locomotive was shrouded in black,
the curtains of the car in which sat
the lonely. stricken widow, the rela-
tives of the President. cabinet and 9th
ers We're drawn. The whole black
train was like shuttered house, save
only for that hindmost car where the
| body lay, guarded by soldier of the
army and sailor of the navy.
Mrs Mckinley stood the trip brave
| ly. In the morning soon after leaving
Buffalo she pleaded so earnestly to be
allowed to 90 into the car where her
dear one lay that reluctant consent
was given, and she spent Il half-hour
beside the coffin. All the way the
train was preceded about fifteen mi's
utes by pilot engine sent ahead e
test the bridges and switches and prs
vent the possibility of an accident IA
the precious burden it carried. The
train had the right of way over every
thing. Not wheel moved on the
Pennsylvania railroad system thirty
minutes before the pilot engine was
due, or for the same time after the
train had passed. General Superinten-
dent j. b. Hutchinson had sent out
explicit instructions covering every de-
tail The order concluded:
Every precaution must be taken by
all employees to make this move abso-
lutely certain
General Boyd, assistant passenger
agent, had personal charge of the
train. The tain left Buffalo at $50
o'clock this morning and arrived at
Washington at S:3S o'clock tonight.
In twelve hours it is estimated over
half million people saw the coffin
which held all that was mortal Of
President Mckinley.

Otter Just Discovered.

Way down in South America, from
Guiana to Argentina, there has been
discovered the ariranha, recognized as
the largest species of the otter. 1t
grows to length of five feet.
The oldest thing about it is that
it's skin seems to be much too large
for its body. In liveliness it surpasses
even the playful seal. An ariranha
has been tanned and has a hound for
it's playfellow. At certain hour the
captive goes to the door of its cage

QUICK WORK WILL BE MADE
WITH ASSASSIN CZOLGOSZ

Czolgosz is OF medium height, of
fairly good build, and has light curly
hair. but n ten-days' growth of beard
on his face gave him an unkempt ap-
pearanca. Apparently he feigned in
sanity. not stupidity, and his glance
roamed about but his eyes We're al
ways downcast Not once did he look
the county prosecutor or the judge in
the face.
"Czolgosz. have you got lawyer7
Do you wish n lawyer? You have been
indicted for murder i'm the first degree.
DO you want lawyer to defend?
CZolgosz, look at me and answer?
District Attorney Penny fired these
questions at the prisoner, his voice
rising with each succeeding question,
but Czolgosz stubbornly refused TO
| answer.
Judge Emery then asked the pris-
oner before the bar If he had counsel,
but there was no answer, despite the
fact that the officers told him the
judge was speaking and that he must
answer. The court then said:
"Czolgosz, you having appeared for
arraignment in the court, without
counsel the law makes it the duty of
the court to assign counsel. The Bar
Association of our county has consid-
cred the matter and suggested the
names of certain gentlemen of high
character for such assignment. The
court has seriously considered the
question and has concluded TO follow
the suggestion made by the associa-
tion. The court therefore assigns Lor-
aine l.. Lewis and Robert C.. Titus as
your counsel"
Czolgosz was handcuffed to the de
tectivc. who started out of the court
room with him. The crowds surged
after them. but found the exit barred
by policemen. outside the court room
door the prisoner was surrounded by
policemen and hurried downstairs in
TO the basement, whence he was taken
through the tunnel to the jail. Whcth-
er he was left there for the night, or
taken elsewhere, the police refused so
say.
