ROOSEVELT TAKES OATH
President Arrives at Buffalo
Early This After
noon.

A dispatch from Buffalo says that Presi-
dent Roosevelt arrived at Buffalo at 1:SO
this afternoon and Immediately took the
oath of office.
A dispatch from Albany says:-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, now President of the
United States, left Albany for Buffalo at
SOB o'clock this morning. He was ac-
companied by his private secretary, Will
liam Loeb, Jr. The special train which
was sent into the Adirondacks yesterday
for Mr.. Roosevelt reached here a few min
utes before o'clock. Mr.. Roosevelt, at
o'clock yesterday morning, left the Ia
hawus Clubhouse with his boys on a
hunting trip, and word of the change for
the worse in the Presidents condition
reached him on the top of Mount Marcy,
fifteen miles away. He reached the club
house at 5 o'clock last night and at once
prepared to return to Buffalo.
Mr. Roosevelt would see no one at this
place, but Mr. Loeb said that he had no
plans further than his arrival in Buffalo
and that he had not yet considered the
question of taking the oath of office as
president.
A dispatch from Saratoga says:-Presl-
dent Roosevelt, for whom the courlers,
with the news that President Mckinley
was dying, looked in the AdirondacK
woods from yesterday morning until i've
O'Clock last evening, reached North Creek,
the terminus of the railway line, at 5:2
o'clock this morning. A special train had
been waiting at North Creek since yester-
day noon for the Vice-President.
The special train, subject entirely to the
orders of the President, was under
way exactly one minute after he reached
it and is now racing across the State for
Buffalo.
According to one report, President
Roosevelt, Immediately on reaching
Buffalo. will call at the Milburn house
and then go to the residence of Justice
Albert Haight, of the Court of Appeals
of the State, where, in the presence OF the
Cabinet officers, he will take the oath OF
office. Secretary of War Root, it is said,
will be the chief witness.
If he follows the precedent set in the
Arthur case, President Roosevelt will
proceed to Washington and take the oath
of office a second time, either before
Chief Justice Fuller of the United States
Supreme Court or some Justice of that
court. rms course Woulu Hdluieiy po
followed so that there would be national
official record in the Supreme Court OF
the United States that he had succeeded
to the Presidency.
The Vice President had left Buffalo feel
ing that the danger of a serious turn in
the condition of the Chief Executive was
so remote that there was no reason why
he should not carry out his original plan
to join his family in the mountains. He
had first intended TO remain at the Taha-
wus Club only from Wednesday until to-
day, when he planned to go to his home
at Oyster Bay, on Long Island.

of Poisoning His Pet.

Julius Julicke. of No. 2o2 Eleventh street.

ages against DR.. John ZennecS. his next
door neighbor, whom he charges with

flee. The case is called for September 49,
Lawyer Theodore Ryerson and Justice

FOOLED BY THE PARROT.
Amusing Experience UnfoIded
at the koerner Inquest.

Coroner William N. Parslow and a jury
conducted an inquest last night on the
death of George Koerner, who was killed
several weeks ago by the collapse of Ber-
nitt's Hall at First and Bloomfield streets
Hoboken The jury attributed the accl-
dent to the tornado of August a. which
it is believed left the hall in an unsafe
condition.
Among those who testified at the in
quest were City Prison Keeper Thomas
McAleer who was one of the first on the
scene after the building fell. McAleer
lived next door to the hall at No. 2O2
Bloomfield street.
He told an amusing story of Mrs. Ber-
nitt's parrot which he rescued from the
ruins. Some months before the hall col
lapsed McAleer was confined to his home
with Illness. His bedroom was in the rear
on the third floor and he could hear the
parrot talking in Mrs Bernitt's back
yard. The family physician ordered Me-
Aleer to take brandy as a stimuiant at
stated intervals. The city keeper was ac-
customed TO whistle to Mrs. McAieer
when he wanted her to wait on him. 1t
was not long before the parrot took up
the whistle. The bird initiated it so accu-
rately that Mrs. McAleer found herself
running upstairs to her husbands sick
room every few minutes. The family
physician jokingly accused his patient of
teaching the whistle to the parrot so that
he could not be held responsible for any
undue consumption of the brandy
''All that had to say added McAleer,
twas that I didn't whistle for it,
McAleer concluded his testimony by say
ing he was glad to have the opportunity
to do the parrot a favor when he got
well.

FIGHT OVER ASSASSINATION

Frank Freer, of No. A Centre street.
Newark, appeared in the Harrison police
court yesterday to charge John Dwyer
with assault. According to one version
the trouble between the men started soon
after the President was shot. Dwyer Is
said to have remarked Mckinley received
his just desert. The alleged remark was
reported to the foreman of the
Engine Works in Harrison, where the men
are employed. and Dwyer was reprimand-
ed. Because of this, it is said. he struck
Freer yesterday when they met. Dwyers
friends deny he made the remark about
Mckinley attributed to him.

Cready, who had been in attendance upon
her for some time past. 1t had been
thought best to remove the Presidents

very last, and this was done ten minutes
before the President expired. Mrs Nc
Kinley had been with him for nearly two
hours Save single nurse. there was no
witness of their farewell in-one Of the
periods when the President temporarily
recovered consciousness. Through the
greater part of the wife's vigil the hus-
band lay unconscious and evidently sink

AS the fatigue of the ordeal began to
tell on Mrs McKinleys strength, it was
feared that she might collapse utterly.
She was taken from the room and DR..
Rixev and her nurse remained with her
from that time on. Within three minutes
after the President had breathed his last,
Mrs. Mccready conveyed the news as
gently as possible to the bereaved woman
Every effort was put forth to tide Mrs
Mckinley over the crisis. Her fortitude
had been the wonder even Of those long
associated with the Presidents house

statement that Mrs Mckinley had ex-
ceeded all expectations throughout the
last two days.
Dr.. Mann, in announcing that Mrs Nc
Kinley had been told of her husbands
death, said that whatever might have
happened then was no part of the publics

was in the faithful hands Of those who
knew her best.

iety was entertained over the reaction

THRILLING BON TON EPISODE
Press Agents Advertising scheme
Went or in Excellent STYLE.

The press agent of the Bon Ton Theatre
had an inspiration yesterday. The direct
result was the arrest of a young man on
a charge of annoying one of the SOU
brettes with unwelcome attentions The
youth Is Thomas McGarren, twenty years
old, of No. 435 Jersey avenue. He was at
the chow yesterday afternoon and he in
sists upon 1t that the dainty personality
of 'Agie" Collins, with her one hundred
and eighty pounds, captured his head.
AS soon as the show was over McGar-
rem bought a sheet of note paper and an
envelope and borrowed pen and ink. Then
he wrote "Agie' Collins the following
touching epistle:-
Dear-There is something going to
happen to you. Lookout, be careful
of you company. / am having you
guarded night and will somebody
along with you all the time.
A TRUE FRIEND OF YOURS. 4
All the rest of it McGarren did in
equally good style. He was at hand at
the stage door when the policeman made
his appearance and he made all the neces-
eary protestations when Captain Cody in
terviewed him.
He was arraigned before Police Justice
Hoos in the First Criminal Court this
morning and was paroled "Agie' was
on hand to prosecute She got up a very
good blush when the boy said
II wrote the note because l love the
girl
Some unbelieving person was heard ask
ing McGarren how much he got from the
advertising man.
