PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
TAKES OATH OF OFFICE

| Judge Hazel had stepped to the rear
of the President and Mr.. Roosevelt
coming closer to Secretary Root, said
In a voice, that Mt first wuvered, but
finally came deep and strong, while
MS II to control his nervousness he held
| firmly to the lapel of his coat with his
right hand:
II shall take the oath at oLce, In &c.
c0rdance with your request, and In
this hour OF deep and terrible national
bereavement, l wish to state that 1t
shall be my aim TO continue absolutely
unbroken, the policy of President Nc
kinley for the peace and prosperity
and honor of our beloved country"
The President stepped further Into
the bay window and Judge Hazel, tak-
Ing up the constitutional oath of office
which had been prepared on parch-
ment, asked the President to raise his
right hand and repeat 1t after him.
There was a hush like death In the
room as the Judge read n few words
at a time and the President In strong
voice and without tremOr and with
his raised hand as steady as II carved
from marble, repeated 1t after him.
"And thus l swear" he ended It.
The hand dropped by his side, the
chin for nn instant rested on the
breast and the silence remained un-
broken for couple of minutes as
though the new President of the Unit
ed States was offering silent prayer.
Judge Hazel broke 1t, saying:
"Mr. President, please attach your
signature" And the President, turn
ing to n small table nearby, wrote.
Theodore Roosevelt" at the bottom of
the document In a firm hand
II should like to see the members of
the Cabinet few moments after the
others retire" said the President, and
this was the signal for the score of the
people who had been favored by wit
Messing of the ceremony, to retire. As
they turned to go. the President said:
II will shake hands with you people
gladly" and with something of his old
smile returning he first shook hands
with the members of the Cabinet pres
ent, then Senator Depew and finally
with n few guests and newspaper men.
Immediately following the dispers-
ing of the spectators after the taking
OF the oath. the President asked the
Cabinet members present TO confer
with him. The conference lasted very
nearly two hours, and when 1t was fin
ished the President said to the Asso-
ciated Press representatives:
Following on the brief statement l
made when taking the oath. that
would follow the administrative lines
laid down by President Mckinley, |
requested the members OF the Cabinet
who were present to remain In their
positions, Mt least for the present.
They have assured me that they will,
and may say that l have assurances
also from the absent members"
Inquiry was made OF the President
as to whether an extra session OF Con
gress would be called by him, and he
said that there was no fundamental
law requiring the calling of Congress
together upon the succession OF vice
president TO the presidency. and that
after consultation with the Cabinet
they had decided that no such extra
session would be called.
