DRINKS WITH STRANGERS,
LOSES HIS BANK ROLL
w. L. Smith Says He Was Beaten Into
Insensibility and Robbed of
Sixty Dollars

w. L. Smith, a guest at the Niagara
hotel, S271a South Spring street, was
beaten into insensibility last night by
gold.
According to Smiths story, he had
been drinking with the men in a saloon
on South Broadway during the after
noon. When he became intoxicated,
one of the men told him that he had
something very interesting to show
him if he would accompany him to a
barn on South Broadway. Smith agreed
and was taken to a vacant lot, at the
rear of which stood a small barn. Smith
was knocked down and beaten. When
he recovered consciousness his money
was gone.

did the job are expert safe robbers, as
they succeeded in striking the control
ing rod Of the combination after boring
through four inches of tempered steel.
The robbers, after drilling the hole,
inserted a steel rod into the opening
and with sledge hammer broke the
combination.
BY the manner in which they worked
there is no doubt that the robbers were
familiar with the building and its sur
roundings. A window in the rear of
the office, which Mr.. Summerfield de-
clares was securely bolted the evening
before, was found unlocked yesterday
morning, and it is believed that the rob-
bers would have taken this means of
escape if necessary. A pass key was
used to effect an entrance to the main
door in the front office.
Every precaution was apparently
taken by the robbers to prevent any
noise, as large olotter was found in
which all the pieces of the combination
and the filings from the drill were
wrapped to prevent them from falling
on the floor
1t was at first thought that nitro
glycerine had been used, as number Of
mail sacks were found around the
base of the safe, which might have been
used to deaden the sound of the ex-
plosion, but, on further examination. no
other evidence was found on the inside
of the safe.
A few days ago a supply of $4,000
worth of stamps was received from
Washington by Mr.. Summerfield, and
it is estimated that at least that many
were in the safe yesterday morning
when it was broken open.
There was 1886 in a wooden box in a
separate compartment. This box, minus
the money, was found beneath the gen.
eral delivery window Seven regis
cred letters were also in the safe, the
contents of which is variously esti
mated to be from $500 to $1,000. Private
papers and insurance receipts belonging |
to Mr.. Summerfield were also taken.

day was magnificent; by night, under
the committees scheme of illumina-

in fairyland.
The presidents reviewing stand, in
front of the White House, was the cen

tended two blocks from Fifteenth
street. Along each side of the avenue
We're noted historical figures in great

Gen. Chaffee had provided a we'll or

the line and made possible the prompt
reopening of the streets to the car

centers of interest with the least de-
lay. But the Grand Army, as is it's
habit. insisting on acting with this es-
cort. and the president, sharing the
universal appreciation of its past
deeds, yielded. and his rate of progress
to the capitol was reduced to the pa
thetic pace Of men who were fast ap-
preaching the scriptural limit Of life.
But the delay had its compensations.
Many thousands had opportunity to
see and greet the president as his
cortege slowly passed along the two
miles from the White House to Capitol
hill. For three hours this national

Theodore Roosevelt did not ride to the

traditional Jetfersonian simplicity was
replaced by a pageant which has not

The five minutes remaining at the
close of the senate'S session were
given to inaugurating Charles w. Fair

peared at the main entrance, escorted
by the joint committee of arrange

Roosevelt Takes Oath.
All this prolonged form, with its
solemn progress and weighty dignity,
was preliminary to the ceremonies
outside, and the march at once began
to the immense platform where the
president was to deliver his inaugural
and take the oath of Office.
Here the great pageant for the ben
eft of the public began to unfold itself,
and the people were on hand to see.
For the day, long winter had given
way and the never more welcome sun
blessed the occasion. Surrounding the
plaza in front of the presidents plat
form were the forming lines of the
main parade, while from the adjacent
streets everywhere projected the
heads Of columns, military and civic,
waiting to fall in their places in line.
With the appearance of the presi-
dent from the senate chamber the
shouting began. swelling into roar
like Niagara, rising to cyclonic effects
and continuing while the senate and
members of the house, the cabinet, the
supreme court, the heads of the army
and navy, ambassadors and ministers,
representatives of every branch of the
government and great company of
guests filed out of the senate doors
and filed the immense platform.
The Growing Ceremony.
At length all was ready for the
browning ceremony. The sea of hui

vanced to take the oath of Office With
his hand upon the Bible, held by the
chief justice, he reverently repeated
the oath, kissed the book at the end,
and Theodore Roosevelt became pres
ident by the votes of the people, fol-
lowing the unbroken line of soldier
presidents which his party has in
stalled since the close Of the Civil
war. He then delivered his inaugural,
which surprised his hearers by it's
brevity. AS the ceremony closed he

exponent of the perfection of our mil

While the whole military column
was marvel and a delight, as indi-
Gated by the continuing tornado of
cheers when it passed, there were ele-
ments of special interest. The Ninth
cavalry, that splendid old colored reg
iment, the heroes of many Indian bat
ties and known to fame at San Juan
hill, received the attention they so
we'll merited. The crowds went wild
over the section of rough riders which
participated with the president in the
wildness of the rush and the JOY of
the victory at Santiago. 1t is not
strange that there were a soldiers

the salutes of his comrades-in-war.
