endar of events for the day. was the
induction of Senator Fairbanks, OF
Indiana, into the Office of the vice
president OF the United States in the
senate chamber. The ceremony was
brief and simple to the extent of be-
ing severe. Immediately following the
address and oath of Vice President Fair
banks came the final adjournment OF the
Fifty-eighth congress and the beginning
of the special session.
Many other events, such as the swear
ing in of almost third membership
OF the senate and various routine duties,
which were in themselves of great i'm
port, were thrust into the BACKGROUND
by the impressive ceremonies which pre-
coded. Solemn and yet BRIEF is the
way the taking OF the oath impressed
the spectators. 1t consisted OF prom

head, to perform the duties of the Of
flee and to support and defend the con-
stitution of the United States. This
was the oath of Office, and it was admin
istered by Senator Frye as president pro
tempore of the senate The two officials
stood confronting each other on the elc-
waited 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 so years have stood.
Regarding the notables who were
present at the ceremony in the senate,
practically the same personages wera
seen at this event as were present about
an hour later at the Inauguration of the
president. Every niche and Granny in
the gallery was filled with people. That
section which is generally used private
~ by the senators was turned over to
the executive party and directly oppo~
site that quarter newspaper men were
busily engaged portraying the scenes
about them. Outside of these two
quarters of the gallery persons hold
ing special tickets were seated.
Shortly before ~ the special guests
began to arrive The president was
seated in big red leather chair i'm
mediately in front of the desk of the
presiding officer and was an interesting
spectator of the ceremony in which he
himself had participated four years ago.
The induction ceremony did not con-
sumo more than two minutes of time and
was administered by Mr.. Frye, presid~
ing officer of the senate.
With the last positive thump of tho
gavel upon the desk Senator Frye re-
linquished his position as president pro
tenn. by announcing the end of that
body. Taking seat to one side Mr..
Fairbanks took his place and began his
inaugural address. This was followed
by the prayer of DR.. Edward
Everett Hale: Then the organiza-
ton of the senate was CONFLICT
ed, the oath in each case being adj
ministered by Mr.. Fairbanks. Immedi~
ately upon the adjournment the guests
began to file out of the gallery and prep
arations were begun for the inaugura-
ton of the president.

come for some moments.
4 hush was noticeable in the crowd.
The official entrance was dramatic. ALE
except those who were participating in
the ceremony were seated. When the
justices OF the supreme court, with the
exception of Chief Justice Fuller.
emerged from between the COrinthian
pillars and marched down the sloping
greeted with applause. The justices
wore their robes and skull-caps. Then
came the members of the diplomatic
corps in their gorgeous uniforms. and
they evoked thunderous applause. Led
by Count Cassini the Russian ambas-
sador and dean of the corps, and fol-
lowed by the others in order of prece-
dence, they took seats on the right Of
the stand. Strolling in after them came,
members of the cabinet. senators and
representatives in congress.
Hush as President Comes.
Following on the heels of the official
party came Mrs. Roosevelt and party
OF friends; then, but moment later. the
new vice president. Mr.. Fairbanks and
his escort arrived and were greeted by
tremendous bursts of applause. AS soon
as Vice President Fairbanks seated him
self the cheers ceased. the military pre-
sen1ed arms. every hat in the commit
tees came off and the great ocean of peo-
pie set up perfect roar Of cheers. fair
ly shouting itself hoarse.
Quick as flash every sound was stilled
and President Roosevelt, quiet and CON-
posed Of demeanor, came from between
the gigantic pillars, escorted by Chief
Justice Fuller. A random burst Of
cheers came from the front Of the crowd
as with measured tread, in harmony
with the dignified step Of the chief JUS
tice. the president advanced in state
down the long aisle of distinguished
guests. By this time all were standing
and nothing could be heard above the
roar of thunderous welcome Immedi-
ately following came. arm in arm. the
members of the committee on arrange
nsents. AS the president passed down
the aisle he barred his head and with
characteristic sweep of his hat bowed in
acknowledgement of the salutatiOns
from the stand and the ovation from the
people.
The man of the hour was before the
most representative gathering that had
ever assembled to greet the chief execu-
tive OF the nation upon like occasion.

OF the tension OF interest. The passing
OF uniformed horsenlan was sufficient
TO call forth cheers, although in some
sections the multitude showed signs OF

on the outskirts OF the throng where.

many struggled to get nearer to the
point of interest. The effect upon the
densely packed multitude was contin-
uous surging backward and forward
turbulent sea OF humanity.
The rendezvo,lsing OF the troops. COM
mittees and civic societies entertained
the crowd throughout the long wait in
'ident to the schedule. The various or
carnations arriving by different routes
passed into the narrow defiles which the
police kept open, the brilliant uniforms
OF the troops. the bright sashes of the
committees and the rich caparisoning
OF the horses lending themselves to a
Kaleidoscope. panoramic effect. Cheers
upon cheers greeted the constantly
shifting picture.
AS rapidly as the troops arrived the?
took the positions assigned them. The
military escort stretched far to
the left and consisted OF all
branches Of the service-horse,
foot and artillery To the right
were grouped division after division OF
state troops. and in different places of
honor the other organizations took their
stand to await the signal to move

had just finished witnessing the cere-
monies in the senate chamber. and
scarcely half hour passed before this
cOign Of vantage was filled to over
flowing. Added to the color afforded by
the plants and bunting were the bril-
liant costumes Of the women, and these
put on touch Of variety which rivaled
the occasion of four years ago. Every
ledge about the capitol and the win
dows were filled to the point of overflow
ing with their human burdens, and long
before the official party appeared the
streets were damned as far as the eve
could reach.
Several minutes before one O'Clock an
extra loud burst of cheers from the
multitude just in front of the main
capitol door called the attention from
the brilliant parade of uniforms in the
street to the official party which had
just come through the main door. 1.-THE

amid deep silence. So great was the
awe OF the assembled multitude that
not the semblance of a demonstration
followed. Then the president began his
inaugural address. and as soon as he had
finished and disappeared within the
capitol the signal was flashed to the
navy yard and the salute of 81 guns
told the end of the ceremonies and the
initial step of the presidents entrance
into his second term of Office.
