ROOSEVELT'S
INAUGURATION

Theodore Roosevelt twenty fifth
President of the United States, was
inaugurated shortly after noon to- day,
Chief Justice Fuller of the United
States Supreme Court, administering
the oath Of office. No sooner had the
President completed the solemn yet
simple ceremony of taking the oath
than all Washington reverberated
with the boom OF the great 10 inch
guns on the monitor Puritan which
lay anchored in the Potomac. Once,
twice, thrice, the great guns doomed
from the monitor when there sounded
a medley Of roars from up land down
the river, the Sege guns at Fort Myer,
opposite Georgetown, and tics, at
Forto Foote and Washington below
Washington taking up the Salvo; each
fort firing the presidential salute of
twenty-One guns. AS the guns rOarcd
their stentorian greeting, the great
Gro wd on the Capitol piazza sent up a
mighty cheer.
So u
AS soon as the noisy Representation
ceased the President stepped forward
to the front OF the roStrum and, ap.
parently addressing the classic statue
of George Washington, delivered his
inaugural address.
AT the conclusion of his brief adj
dress the President descended from
the platform and returned to 1.-THE
Presidents room" in the Capitol
where he received the congratulations
Of Senators and Representatives of
diplomats and jurists and OF host of
personal friends.
1t was almost two o'clock when the
President accompanied by the pictur-
eSque enthusiastic Rough Riders who
followed him in the famous charge up
San Juan Hill, and by Troop a of the
New York National Guard, drove
rapidly up Pennsylvania Avenue, fol-
Owed slowly by the greatest civic and
military pageant that has thus far as
embed in Washington to do hon or,
to newly inaugurated President. At
the White House the President re-
ceiyed the two hundred guests who
had been invited to the buffet lunch.
Mr. Roosevelt ale Il hasty mouthful
and then proceeded to the handsome
stand erected in front of the EXecu-
tive Mansion, from which during the
next Three hours, he reviewed the pro-
2ession saluting the flag each time it
passed before him. From time to
time he turned to those about him
commenting on the notable features
of the parade, exchanging jokes with
cabinet members and friends and in
every possible manner displaying that
almost boyish eXuberence which is one
If his characteristics.

Attorney Jerome Deceived.

The daily papers have been filled with stories of the wonderful way in which the gamblers of the city called on Mir. Jerome and told him where their houses were located and where their para pher- nalia was stored, but subsequent devel- opments do not put the confessions and delivery of goods in as favorable light as at first appeared. Most of the stuff given to MT. Jerome was of the very cheapest kind and the very quality of 1t was SO poor that one wondered where all the treasures were that were reported to have graeed many of the places. Re- cent developments bring out clearly that the gamblers who posed as so frank and open were eoncealing their finest roulette wheels. boxes and chips and giving up worr-out cast off property that had not been used for many years. It Is generally believed that the better stuff is concealed in some of the warehouses of the city, or has been shipped to other places. Much of it is known 10 have been recently shipped to Cuba and some has been sent west, but number of valuable articles of gambling paraphernalia have been un- earthed and now MT. Jerome Is waking mp to the fact that he was deceived to a degree by some of the men who were so ready to obtain immunity under the Bowling law

New Hotel Proposed.

It has been many years since a new hotel has been built in New York south of Fourteenth street and the activity in this respect has been steadily going northward, but a syndicate has been formed to build modern structure twenty-two stories high, to be used en- tirely for hotel purposes, between Wash ington and Greenwich streets. facing Battery Place The site selected offers q magnificent view of the bay and the syndicate intends to erect one of the finest hotel buildings in the world A roof garden will be a feature and the restaurant Is intended to be the equal Of anything in New York and will occupy the greater portion of three floors. The roof garden overlooking the bay will certainly be a great attraction and the unexcelled facilities for transportation in and out of the city right at the door of the building will be features that will ap- peal to out-oftown visitors. Another novel eature will be a Turkish bath in the basement. with a vast salt water swimming pool. Hotel patronage has been steadily diverted northward for many years. and with the exception of the venerable Astor house there are no hotel facilities for women in tho lower portion of the city.

Told About Omaha.

The sensational advance in Omaha recalls many instances in the variegated career of that property. It has been in the Chic ago and North Western system for many years vet at times since the annexation there has been active trading in the min ority shares which have been subject to wide fluctuations. The spectacular life of Omaha in the stock market however, was prior to its absorption by North Western. It was for several years a pop ular favorite with Chicago speculators. When Norman B. Rean had drained the Chicago Board of trade dry and quit with something like s5,000000 which was a big sum in those days, he bought Gt,0O shares of Omaha around 75 with the avowed in- tention of putting it away in his strong box and keeping 1t there as a reserve investment. The market rose above that figure and he bought some more. Then he spread out all over the whole stock market besides putting a large sum into Chicago real estate and buying tine con trolling interest in the Toledo street ear line A smash in the market occurred and Ream had to run to cover sacrificing all his quick assets for wha. they would bring, his Omaha. holdings going with the rest and breaking the price back into the

and the Indian Territory. This movement in large part comprises the very best class of the farming communities. Young and middle aged men find it to their ad
 vantage to sell their lands east of the Mississippi and buy farms in the newer states where there is virgin soil of great fertility and where the climatic condi- tions are as good or better then at the old home Excellent farm lands are ob
 tainable in the southwest at one-half to one-fifth what ground sells for in the old states, or to put it differently man could sell his place of say 100 acres in Virginia Ohio. Pennsylvania. or New York for enough to buy from 200 to 59J acres in the southwestern country, and the new coun- try is in many respect superior to the old and profits. acre for acre are i1 many sections even greater than in the east and middle west. Railroad building has been going on rapidly of late years all through the southwestern area and 1t is now pos sible for farmers to transport their pro- ducts to quick markets on advantageous and profitable terms. something which could not be done until late years except along pioneer lines of railroaus. The new population is almost entirely native born and is therefore of the best quality. The hordes of immigrants which have been pouring in upon our shores are made up in large percentage of Italians, Hun sarians and laboring classes generally who fine employment in the cities and upon public improvements of every sort.

Animals Aroused.

President Roosevelt has succeeded again in stirring up the animals in the Wall stree menageria by renewal of his efforts to force railroad legislation through this session of congress-; also by the further announcemeN of determination to punish the members e. the beef trust. If the Presidents efforts to bring the trusts to a sense of decency would be confined to the Imprisonment of the three chief members of the Chicago combine Wal street would be reconciled. Indeed it might even hold up the hands of the Chief Executive and applaud his crusade but alas and alaes, MT. Roosevelt is not likely to stop with a mere Chicago raid. He seems bent on continuing the cam paign and compelling unlawful combna- tions to give heed to the laws. The rules which are being enforced against the beef trust are applicable to many of the industrial combinations which rest under the indictment of charging the public eX- orbtent prices for the necessities of life That is why uneasiness is occasioned by the Presidents activity along anti trustines under existing laws.

recent purchaser;

New York, February 4.--rhose persons who have for some years past claimed the winter reasons are more mold than those of Eye oden time have had good and sufficient evidence to reverse their opinions. Seldom before has winter blocked the wheels of industry in this city or tied up transportation. For sev- eral days persons living within the city limits, in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Richmond, exreri- enced great difficulty in reaching their places of business in Manhatt and in thousands of instances failed to reach their offices. Surface and 'L transporta- ton suffered, particularly the former Had it not been for the Subway many offices, stores and factories would have been closed. Of course, the traffic was enormous. yet in spite of it all, the schedule was maintained and pressed be- yond it's capacity, and excellent service was rendered without delay or accident This not only speaks volumes of praise for the efficiency of the management, but proves concusively the wisdom of the people in bG.,1ing the Suoway. And this reminds me that Interborough stock has
 
 public in it's management by crossing the 200 mark. Whether conditions have proven that an efficient municipal transportation service, guaranteed by conditions against obstruction, or climatic impediments must be delivered by the means of a sub way, provided, of course, that the oper- ating company is managed by capable officials
 New Workers take commendable pride in the Subway. IL is a grand public work a great utility. It is so great so bene- ficial that jealous New Workers cannot claim it all by reason of it's local estab- iishment evenif they would. Unequaled elsewhere as great public work, it be- comes a national pride; and so it will re- main until duplicated in other great American cities. Ney York has proven to ali the world that it is possible to build a great railway beneath a mesh of surface tracks, gas pipes, water pipes electric conduits and all those various things which lie beneath the pavement of a great city. Difficult engineering problems have been solved and the rec ord of traffic since opening day has proven success in operation

Railroads Acquiesce.

Railroads are accustomng themselves to cheerfully acquiese to amendments to the Interstate commerce law proposed by the administration. They find much therein that Is good and which may re- suit in increased revenues to the com panes without imposing hardships on shippers or the general public. Railroad officials who have teen personally profit ing by the granting of rebates to favored large shippers continue to weep and wall and tear their hair, but it would appear that a majority of active railroad mana gers find little to oppose and much to commend in the Presidents course. Whether or not there will be Legislation at Washington before the adjournment of congress on the Srd of March is an open question. The House Las clearly yielded to the pressure of combination of circumstances and will pass an ad- ministration bill. The hold up if any should occur, will be in the Senate.

RISE IN MARKET VALUES
BY W, G. NICHOLAS,

New York, February 4.--(SpeciaL )-Ob- viously il is the purpose of the Rockefel- r-NandeTbilt-H Hartman combine to con- sumate their mammoth deal for the Inter- change of securities at the very highest possible valuation. For several days this week the street has been electric with gos- sip about the pending deal and every body has more or less to say about the gigantic Rockefeller Vanderbilt -Harri- man consolidation. The mere fact that two stories agreed in every particular did not blind the street to the fact that big things were going oil and that in due time ample publicity would be given them. Beyond a question the deal involves a practical unifcation of the several so- called Vanderbilt lines and ,..e other mammoth system more directly controll- ed by Mir. Hartman and his associates. The merger will be a most impressive demonstration of the power of the com munity of interest idea and will mark the actual taking of steps which have been planned for many years. The intro duction of the Union Pacific into the arr rangement is of later development than the project for a combination of strictly Vanderbilt lines under one operative con trol, and the Hartman infusion may not dIteT all pc TOT Ine pest alInOuR0 the giants of finance are under and behind the move think otherwise.
 MT Vanderbilt is making a bigger stir in his preparation for retirement from ac- tive business life than he ever made dur ing the whole course of his previous career.
 The Vanderbilt interests are colossal and they are swung in a mass family reliance still being placed upon the re- cognized head of the clan. It is suppos- ed that the elder Vanderbilt slil has in his strong box that famous 1,J,00O share block of Chicago and Northwestern, a certificate which was engraved in gold and put away with ceremony as ilustra- tive of W. K s abounding and perman- ent faith in the future of that superb property. There has been no record of the historic certificate having been split Up into small lots. so presumably 1t heads the list of his securities That 100,000 share certificate if 1t stlll remains in W. K Vanderbits possession now represents a market value of close to S25, 000.000 One hundred thousand eerti- ficates of stock are rare oven in Wall street The only other known besides that just referred to stood in Mir. H. C.. Tricks name and bore the brand of the United States Steel Corporation. His tory Is silent as to whether MT. Prick found 1t expedient or desirable to cut that document up into su aller pieces. He has been investing very heavily in other enterprises during the past two years and may have disposed of DOT tion, at least, of his holdings in that corporation, although he is today the master spirit of it's management
