THE PRESIDENTIAL Inauguration
Roosevelt and Fairbanks Indicted Into Office
With Brilliant Pageantry

The inaugural cost about $65, 900,
which it is believed has been fully re-
paid in the sale of grand stand seats
and ball tickets. The guaranty fund
subscribed by Washington merchants
and business men will thus be return
ed. Everything but the actual cere-
moies were in charge of the inaugural
committee, composed of Washington
residents, and headed by Brigadier
General John M. Wilson, U. S. A., re-
tired, appointed for that purpose by
Chairman C%ortelyou, of the Republican
national committee.
The broad plaza whose level surface
stretches east from the national CAPT
toll can accommodate an army. For
hours Saturday morning Washington

of the multitude could be gathered.
Eight acres of humanity spread fan
shaped from the focus made by a little
covered shelter, open at the sides,
where the President was to stand. Over
toward the imposing facade of the Con-
gressional Library it extended, liter

Stands on the central portico, eX-
tending to the tribune wherein the Ger
emony occurred, covered an acre. From
the central entrance of the capitol to
tho yeats of honor surrounding the
pagoda-like tribune was laid a carpet
Of crimson plush. Long before the cere-
monies in the Senate, where Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks was taking his oath
CT ctsce was concluded, most of the
reserved seats had been filled by ticket
holders.
All in all it was the grandest page
ant ever witnessed on American soil.
The ceremonies we're simple but solemn

China Protests.

Toxic, Special.-It is understood
that China has lodged protest
against Japan, alleging infringement
of Chinese neutrality by the occupa-
ton of Sinmintin. The government
has not indicated it's attitude, but it
is expected that the reply will declare
that Japan is bound to respect the
neutrality of North China so long as
Russia does SO, but that the presence
of the Russians in occupying Sinmin-
tin created a condition Of b~elligerency
there, and that the operation was
strictly in the nature of a military
necessity for the projection of the
rights and interests Of Japan.

There is opposition to the 0ucke'

we believe the bucket shops are open
IN some Of the towns and cities. Inc
thing to do is to pass law. Norm

business. But the shops are open IN
New York and fellow can gamble
all he pleases in the cotton and wheat

the rise or fall in the markets and the
other on how the cards Will run.
