BOOZE CAUSE Of
CAPTAINS WOE
Commander of One of Sperry'S
WarshipS to be COuTt-mar-
tailed for 0verinduIgence.

Gibraltar. Feb. 2-The captain Of one Of
the battieships composing the fleet under
Rear Admiral sperry is today under ar
rest on board his own vessel and will be
tried by court-martial on a charge pre-
ferred by one of the rear adrnirals of the
fleet that he was under the influence Of
intoXicants at d reception given on shore
a few days ago. This captain was re-
heve6 from duty by the rear admiral ini-
mediately after the reception and the ex-
ecutive officer was placed in command
The ship was brought into Gibraltar by
the executive officer.
Admiral Sperry, after considering the
report Of the rear admiral. decided upon
a cOuTt-martial and appointed the mem
beTs. The head of the court is Rear Ad-
mirsl Seaton- Schroeder. and Major Dion
Williams of the marine corps is Judge
advocate The court viii meet on board
one Of the bsttleships tomorrow
The captain in question denies the
charge His defense viii be that fatigue
was responsible for his appearance; that
he was under a heavy strain during the
last run of his vessel on account of rough
weather; that on the day OF the recep-
ton he had been on the bridge since 1
o clock in the morning; that he did not
drink anything during the day, and par
took sparingly of the wine served at the
dinner which preceded the reception. This
affair has been kept quiet. but none the
less 1t has created a painful impression.
as it is the first charge preferred against
an officer of high rank since the beginning
OF the cruise It is expected that the
court will render a decision tomorrow. as
only a few witnesses are to be examined.
The name Of the accused officer is Ed
ward F. QuaItrough. who is captain of
the batt1eship Georgia. The charges were
preferred by Rear Admiral Wainwright,

pears not only on the chiffon overdress
but on the long court train as we'll.
The foundation of the gown is of
heavy white satin, cut in princess
effect. Over this the chiffon is draped
with consummate skill, giving the
effect of long, straight lines. The
sleeves are formed of rare point lace.
The goldenrod design is also woven in
the lace.
Mrs. Taft wore her hair rather high,
with pompadour. A single diamond
spray decorated her coiffure and she
wore no other jewelry excepting the
pearl collar, which is her favorite orna-
ment.
Miss Helen Taft's gown was so ex-
tremely simple that it is calculated to
surprise the mothers of overdressed
school girls. Over plainly fitting
foundation of white slip of white
embroidered mousseline de sole falls
in graceful girlish lines. The bodice
is slightly decolletete, and is effectively
trimmed in point lace. Artistic knots
of pale blue ribbon skilfully disposed,
add touch of chic to it's simplicity.
Miss Taft's abundant golden brown
hir was simply dressed in coil, and
she wore no jewelry.

States, banded together in commercial
and political organizations, many of
them distinctively uniformed campaign
clubs.
The troops and civic bodies compos-
ing the notable parade of the after
noon mobilized in snow and slush which
in places was deeper than their leg
ging tops. Down Pennsylvania ave.
nue., walled in with spectators, they
found dry footing, but faced a lively
gale.
The parade was replete with inter-
est. The 5000 bluejackets from the
recently returned Atlantic fleet shared
honors among the military with the
Cuban army of pacification.
The trim cadets from West Point at
tracted the usual interest and made a
Enthusiastically fine showing. The
midshipmen from Annapolis, snow
bound within 20 miles of Washington,
shared the fate of thousands of sight
seers who were unable to reach the
city on account of the storm.
The Philippine Constabulary band,
which arrived Wednesday from Manila,
was given the place of honor in the
escort of President Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft to the capitol and attracted much
attention. The Filipinos saw their
first fall of snow.
President and Mrs. Taft were the
canters OF interest at the eliminating
feature Of the day-the inaugural ball
in the Pension building. The scene in
the cavernous building, which has been
transformed into canopied court of
ivory and white, was another of the
brilliant pictures quadrennially painted
here by the gathering of vast and
brilliant assemblage from every Sec
ton of the country. With all the color
and movement of military spectacle,
with the softening influence of deli

junction, the inaugural ball holds a
place unique in the history making of
the day.

|| N NQ WM II. TAFT

Office in the chamber of the senate in
rs years, William Howard Taft, be-
came president of the United States
yesterday.
Accompanied to the capitol through
a swirl of binding snow by President
Roosevelt and a guard of honor, Mr..
Taft returned to the White House
just as the sun began to force its way
through the clouds. A sudden blizzard
sweeping in from the northwest
Wednesday night set awry the weather
bureaus optimistic promise of "fair
and somewhat cooler" caused an
abandonment of the outdoor ceremon-
les on the famous east front of the
capitol, much to Mr.. Taft's chagrin,
and threatened for time to stop the
brilliant pageant of the afternoon.
However, a passageway was cleared
along the center of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and for nearly three hours Presi-
dent Taft and Vice President Sherman
reviewed a passing column which was
replete with martial splendor and pic
turesque with civic display.
After the inaugural ceremonies in
the senate, Theodore Roosevelt, again
a private citizen, bade an affectionate
adieu to his successor, while all in
the historic chamber looked on in 81
Ience and then be hurried away through
a side door to take the train for New

Der. Mr. Roosevelt was given an ova-
tion quite the equal of that rendered to
the new president.
The ceremonies of the inaugural
were formally begun when Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks, in a farewell address,
which called out for him a spontaneous
tribute of applause, declared the Six
tieth congress at an end. Turning
then to Mr.. Sherman, who had been
escorted to a place beside him, he ad-
ministered to his successor the oath of
Office and turned over to him the gavel.
Mr.. Sherman, in rapping the senate
to order in special session of the Sixty
first congress, made a brief address.
Then followed the swearing in of many
new senators. This completed, Vice
President Sherman said:
"The chief justice will now admins
ter the oath of Office to the president
elect"
The sudden announcement came as a
surprise and solemn hush fell upon
the assemblage.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED.
Governor Benson Issues Call to Leg
islature to Meet March i6.

Salem-Governor Benson has issued
proclamation calling the legislature
in special session at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning, March Is, for the pur-
pose of passing the appropriation bill
which failed at the regular session be-
cause of defect in the proceedings.
In statement to the press Governor
Benson says that majority of the
members have voluntarily promised
that no new legislation will be taken
up, but he indicates that there may be
a number of minor defects in acts of
the regular session which will need cor
rection at the special session. In this,
he evidently has reference to the game
code, the tax commission law and some
minor bills in which defects have been
found.
In his proclamation calling the spec
ial session, Governor Benson announces
that the session is "for the purpose of
enacting senate bill No. 254, introduced
at the 25th regular session of the legis-
lative assembly of 1909, and upon
which bill final action was indavertent-
ly not taken, being an act entitled An
act to appropriate money for the ex-
penses of the improvements, equip
ments, betterments, supplies, repairs
and other necessary expenses at the
Oregon state insane asylum, state pen
itentiary, state reform school. Oregon
institution for the blind, state institu-
tion for feeble minded and the Oregon

Divulge Prison Tortures.

Guthrie, Okla, March 8.-The CON-
mittee appointed by Governor Haskell
to investigate the charges of cruelty to
prisoners in the Kansas penitentiary
at Lansing made its report today, and
sustained in substance the charges
originally brought by Miss Kate Bar
pard, state commissioner of charities
and corrections for Oklahoma. The
committee declares that prisoners were
stretched and tortured and strangled
with water" but says the prison
suffers more from bad methods than
bad men.
