DIED ON EVE
OF A DIVORCE
Decree Was Expected Within
aWeek by Counsel for lens
Abrahams0n's Wife.
DROWNED MANS KIN HERE

Within a week Joseph E. Stricker ex-
pected a notice from the Court of Chan
cery granting decree of divorce to his
client, Mrs. Jens Abrahamson, from her
husband, against whom she started pro
ceedings last June.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stricker
happened to pick up a copy of the
NEWS and the first story to catch his
eye was the one which announced that
Jens Abrahamson had been found dead
in river at Drummond, Montana. Mr..
Stricken, ON discovering that the dead
man and his clients husband were the
same, remarked that the decree frou
Trenton was not necessary now, as n
decree had been rendered by the Great
Judge, from whose decision there is no
appeal.
Mrs. Abrahamson married the deceas-
ed at Hoboken in March, 1897, her maid
en- name being Anna Zimmerman. She
came to this city shortly afterward
with her husband, who engaged in the
milk business. Later he became pro-
prietor of saloon in Fayette street,
between New Brunswick avenue and
State street.

PRESIDENT TAKES OATH
IN THE SENATE CHAMBER

Defying the best experts in the
weather bureau, Washington today
aweke to find itself in the grasp of a
bowling blizzard which shattered
the Inauguration arrangements from
first to almost the last detail.
The rain last night turned to sleet
and snow, covering the city deep in
slush. Morning brought big dror
in the temperature and a bowling
wind. Gay decorations were ripped
from buildings; flags and bunting
were water-soaked and bedraggled
and the court of honor was scene
of desolation.
Wires are down, trains are stalled
and nearly every line of activity is
paralyzed The city was isolated
from the rest of the world until late
this morning.
Stray messages told of forty
trains stalled on their way to Wash
ington. One carried the Seventh
Regiment of New York and Troop
B, which intended being Governor
Hughes personal aid in the parade.
AS the morning progressed the storm
was unprecedented and streets were
almost impossible.
At 11:25 O'Clock the snow was
still falling, though the indications
were for break soon in the storm.
All the streets are filled ankle deep
with snow and slush, but thousands
of visitors, almost forced out of the
hotels by the crowded conditions,
are filling the thoroughfares.
The decorations and spectators
look disconso1ate.
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft
left the White House in a closed
carriage at 1890 o'clock and ar
rived at the Capitol at 10:46 O'Clock.
They were accompanied by secret
service men and the committee on
arrangements.
The inaugural ceremonies took
place In the senate chamber, the
weather being too severe to go out
side. The galleries and floor of the
chamber were crowded. The fami-
lies of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman
viewed the events from the gallery.
At 11:45 o'clock Chief Justice
Fuller, OF the supreme court, ar
rived. He was followed by the !
of the diplomatic corps,
then the senators, representatives,
and every class of officialdom.
Cheering in the corridors an

Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft, arm in arm.

SALES MUST
Be BONA FIDE
Chief Burke Will Aid the
Board of Trade in End
ing the Practice.
MUST DEPOSIT $500

Chief Burke stated this morning that
there will be no more bankruptcy sales,
unless absolutely bona fde, conducted
in this city. as he has been advised by
City Attorney l1ommann that there is
law which governs such sales. The
law is an act of 1894, entitled fItiner-
ant Nender's Act,'' and provides that
where bona tide bankruptcy sales are to
be held the sum Of $500 must be depos-
tied with the Secretary of State and a
local and state license taken up by the
parties conducting the sale.
In the past number of so-called
bankruptcy sales have been conducted
in this city by out of town parties who
come here, rent n store, undersell the
local merchants, and then leave for a
new locality with a large amount of
money.
Chief Burke says that two such IL
legitimate sales are being conducted
here now and that he notified the pro-
prietors this morning to close up. Both
stores are on State street and the chief
says that if they do not close today,
he will arrest the proprietors tomor-
row. One of the stores has been here
for some time, but the other just open
ed yesterday.
Recently the Board of Trade took up
the matter and A. Philo was appointed
to make an investigation. He found
that frequently out OF town people have
big muslin signs announcing bankrupt
ey sales put up over stores, and saw
Chief Burke shoats the matter. The

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
9TH. PRESIDENT

Succeeding, as he does, man who
will be recorded in history as one of
our greatest Presidents, Taft takes
up the pen and power of office with a
peculiar responsibility. Like Roose-
welt, he enters the White House the
acknowledged heir of another The
policies of Theodore Roosevelt are
his today, no matter how the exigen-
cies of statecraft or political exped-
ience may shape his course in the fu-
ture, and, like his predecessor, who
took up the work laid down by the
martyred Mckinley, he will often
find his hands fettered by the invis-
ible bonds, and his feet led along the
unfamiliar paths, of the past. AL
though he has been for years In COM
plete sympathy with the high ideals
of the genius he follows, and is per-
haps above all others the one best
equipped to shape the Roosevelt pol
icies to successful issue, the Man
from Oyster Bay might have search
ed the country wide in vain for a
legatee who in temperament and in
training resembles him less. Except
for their love of honesty, square deal
ing, and patriotism and rneir COM
mon sense-Taft and Roosevelt are
as far apart as the northern and the
southern poles.
President Taft, from his long years
on the bench. has learned to weigh
we'll his words and shape his decis-
ions from all the evidence obtainable;
Ex-President Roosevelt weighs his
words not at all, and his actions
spring from his heart regardless of
evidence. President Taft Is patient;
Roosevelt scarcely
knows the meaning of the word.
President Taft Is deliberate; Ex-
President Roosevelt is impulsive.
President Taft exercises at golf or on
horseback to keep down his weight;
Roosevelt rides, runs,
shoots, boxes. wrestles, fences, or
plays tennis to down the other fell
low, or for the love of the sport itself |
President Taft was graduated at
Yale; Ex-President Roosevelt halls
from Harvard. President Taft tips
The beam at 500 pounds; Ex-Presi-
lent Roosevelt weighs 100 less.
