THE INDIANA MAN WAS
INDUCTED INTO OFFICE
Vice President Fairbanks Was Sworn
In as the Presiding Officer of the
Senate, With President Pro Tenn
Frye aS Master OF Ceremonies.

Washington, D. c., March 4.-In the
presence of as many of his fellow citi-
zens as could be crowded into the SEN
ate chamber, Charles Warren Fairbanks
was at high noon today indicted into
the Office of vice-president of the United
States. The ceremony was quickly fol-
lowed by the final adjournment of the
senate of the Fifty-eighth congress, the
beginning of a special session. an ad-
dress by the vice-president and the
swearing into Office of almost a third
OF the membership of the senate. All
tnese ofhcial acts took place in the
chamber just before the Inauguration
OF the, president and were in reality.
while themselves of great. import, the
prelude OF the more important event.
The installation of the new yice-presi-
dent was severely simple, and as brief
as simple. 1t consisted of promise.
solefnnly made with uplifted hand and
bowed head, to perform the duties OF
/ the office and to support and defend the,
constitution of the United States. This
was the oath of office, and it was adj
mlnistered by Senator Frye as president
pro tempore of the senate. The two
officials stood confronting each other
on the elevated platform on which
rests the desk of the preceding officer
of the senate, practically on the same
spot on which all the incoming vice
presidents for the past fifty years have
stood. and where majority OF Aneri-
can freeman have decreed that Mr..
Fairbanks shall preside for the four
years to come. Plain and democratic
though the ceremony was, it attracted
to the senate gathering of notable
people, many of them of such importance
that, in accordance with time honored
custom, their appearance was heralded
with pomp and platitude sufficient 10
atone for the simplicity of the official
acts OF the occasion, if not to quite over
shadow them. These guests included
the foremost representatives of the of
tclal life of the capitol city, foreign and
domestic, civil and military, and also
many other persons of prominence from
all parts OF the country.
On the senate floor, with his cabinet
were the president of the United States,
himself about to be inaugurated; the
diplomatic corps, the supreme court OF
