STEVENSON WINS
United States Senator From
Wisconsin Is Reelected
On the TWenty-Third Ballot by
Joint Assembly.

Madison, Wis, March 4.-Isaac Steph-
enson was today reelected to the Uni
ted States senate by the joint assem-
bly, on the twenty-third ballot, having
received 63 votes out of 123 cast
Senator Stephenson whose term of
office filling out the unexpired term
of John c. Spooner expired today.
was reelected for a term of six years.
Senator Stephenson received the Re-
publican nomination at the primaries
last fall but his opponents had en-
deavored to block his election until
the joint legislative committee inves-
tigating the primary election had con-
cluded it's hearing in connection with
charges of alleged corruption against
the senator.
Senator Stephenson gathered mater
ia1 strength since the charges of al
legged corruption has not been proven
On two occasions this week the lack
of a nuorum alone prevented an cleo
tion. The vote was: Stephenson 63:
Brown Z; Esch Z; Cooper 5; RUNNER
4; Strang 4; Estabrook 4; KindIing 3:
Kalaher 2; Sanborn 2. Twenty-Five

HELD IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.
Blizzard Necessitated Change in the
Plans for the Inauguration.
The Venerable Chief Justice Fuller
Administers the Oath.

Washington, March An the SEN
ate chamber, which seldom before has
witnessed so impressive a ceremony or
held a more brilliant audience, in the
presence of high dignitaries of state
and nation and the ambassadors and
representatives of every country of
the civilized world, William H. Taft,
shortly before 1 o'clock today took the
oath of office as president of the
United States.
A binding snow storm which swept
upon Washington late last night and
continued throughout the forenoon
caused an abandonment of the out
door ceremony at the capitol which
heretofore has marked the Inaugural
ton of many presidents of the United
States. The change of program was
also a source of deep disappointment
to thousands of persons who gathered
in the deep snowdrifts and slush of
the capital plaza in the hope of wit
Messing the taking of oath of the new
president.
Mr. Taft was extremely anxious that
the original plans should be adhered
to, but after he had arrived at the
capitol he gave consent because of the
danger the exposure to the elements
would have entailed upon the veteran
Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme
court of the United States aud the eId-
er members of the senate and the dip
lomatic corps.
Arm in Arm.
Mr.. Taft's Inauguration imme ediately
followed that of James S. Sherman,
which was carried out in accordance
with the original program. The dis
tinguished company which gathered
in the senate to witness the Inaugural
ton of the vice president and which
afterward was to have been escorted
to the immense inaugural stands at
the east front of the capitol, simply
remained in their places in the chamber
to view the more impressive ceremon-
les attending the induction into office
of the new executive of the nation.
President Roosevelt, arm in arm
with President-elect Taft entered the
crowded senate chamber shortly after
II o'clock. The appearance of these
two chief figures in the days events,
was a signal for spontaneous outbreak

Governor Makes Plea for Anti

Governor Stubbs today sent to the
state senate the following appoint
ments to the three state educational in
stitutions:
Il hereby submit the following nomi-
nations for appointments in the public
service subject to your approval and
confirmation:
For regents of the University of
Kansas for full terms-WiIliam Allen
White, c. F. Foley, L. S. Cambern.
For regents of the State Agricul-
ris, Arthur Capper, w. J. Tod.
For regents of the State Normal
school for full term-w. B. Ham, Shelf
field ingalls,, c. L. Davidson.
Respectfully submitted.
Nv. r. STUBBS, Governor"
1t would be hard to find in the state
better men for these important places
These men are all well known over the
state for their ability, honesty and pub
lie spirit. William Allen White on the
state university board is reappointed.
Foley of Rice county is the leader of
the Democratic minority in the house
and has made an excellent record this
session. Senator Cambern, of Erie, is
one of the new members of the senate
but his lightning wit, his aggressive
ness and capacity to grasp public ques-
tlons placed him among the leaders
from the beginning.
Senator Harris of Lawrence is a
Democrat and one of the famous fine
stock fanciers of the state and has
served as United States senator and
state senator. Arthur Capper is we'll
known as the publisher of several farm
publications, while w. J. Tod is one
of the big farmers of Wabaunsee
county.
The new regents for the state nor
man school are equally we'll known
and, like the others, are excellent ap-
pointm tents.
StubbS Plea for Anti Monopoly
Governor Stubbs also sent the fol-
lowing message to the senate:
The monopoly bill, which was voted
down in your body yesterday without
discussion, I regard as one of the most
important measures presented to the
Kansas legislature.
''It has been stated to me by senators
that very few members in your body
We're fully informed of the ~~eaning or
purpose of this bill Kansas, together
with all the other great agricultural
states in the Union, has been exploited
by monopolies and trusts for the last
quarter of a century and this is the
only practical way that has been sDg-
gested in our legislature whereby these
monopolies can be controlled and their
actions regulated in an effectual way.
In short the proposed measure is this:
Whenever any combination in restraint
of trade has secured monopoly of any
article of trade or commerce in this
state that the state through the board

Washington. March 4.-Following
his Inauguration today President Taft
delivered the following address:
My Fellow Citizens:
Any one who takes the oath 1 have
just taken must feel a heavy weight
of responsibility. If not. he has no
conception of the powers and duties
of the office upon which he is about
to enter, or he is lacking in proper
sense of the obligation which the oath
imposes.
The Office of an inaugural address is
to give a summary outline of the main
policies of the new administration, so
far as they can be anticipated. 1 have
had the honor to be one of the ad-
visers of my distinguished predecessor,
and as such, to hold up his hands in
the reforms he has initiated. 1 should
be untrue to myself. to my promises
and to the declarations of the party
platform upon which I was elected to
Office if I did not make the mainten-
ance and enforcement of those re-
forms a most important feature of my
administration. They were directed
TO the suppression of the lawlessness
and abuses of power of the great com
binations of capital invested in rail-
roads and in Industrial enterprises
carrying on interstate commerce. The
steps which my predecessor took and
the legislation passed on his recon-
mendation have accomplished much,
have caused a general halt in the vic
ious policies which created popular
alarm, and have brought about in the
business affected, a much higher re-
gard for existing law.
Lasting Reforms.
To render the reforms lasting, how
ever, and to secure at the same time
freedom from alarm on the part or
those pursuing proper and progressive
business methods, further legislative
and executive action are needed Re
lief of the railroads from certain re-
strictions of the antitrust law have
been urged by my predecessor and
will be urged by me. On the other
hand, the administration is pledged to
legislation looking to proper federal
supervision and restriction to prevent
excessive issues of bonds and stocks
by companies owning and operating
Interstate commerce railroads.

department of justice, of the bureau

CATS TAIL ON MONKEY.
Operation Performed on Pet OF a
Philadelphia Police Officer.

Operation Performed on Pet OF a
Philadelphia Police officer.
Philadelphia Record: 1t is not often
that a police station is transformed in
to temporary hospital. but such was
the case the other day. when the
Twenty first district station was the
scene OF one OF the most difficult skin
grating operations recorded in the
annals of modern surgery. In this par
ticular case, however. the patient hap
pened to be monkey, the highly
priced pet Of Lieut.. Boston. which had
lost its caudal appendage in a street
car accident in the morning and which
a few hours after found itself in pos
session OF another tail equally as long
and certainly more fuzzy than it's
original appendage
Several weeks ago Lieut.. Boston
was presented by professor at the
University of Pennsylvania with a
tame monkey. The animal had be-
| come quite pet among the officers
at tn new Thirty second street and
woodland avenue station, but 1t re-
Gently developed a faculty of break
| ing it's chain and wandering about
the streets. When Lieutenant Boston
found that his pet was missing and
| was about to send out a missing
call to all nearby Offices the mockey
named Brownie, after House Sergeant
Brown. came limping into the station
crying piteously. One glance was
sufficient TO tell the story. He had
evidently gotten the worse of an argu-
ment with street car. His tail was
missing
| Captain Thompson, arriving at the
station about the same time as the
monkey, suggested to Lieutenant Bos-
ton that veterinary surgeon be sent
for. The surgeon suggested that tail
from one of the house cats be carefully
''bobbed." The monkey screamed from
pain while the grating process was
| going on, but last night 1t was stated
that the operation was success. The
bob tailed cat yesterday evening was
making itself perfectly at home, none
the worse, apparently, for the opera
| ton, while the monkey remained on his
perch, with the evident intention of be-
| ing quiet and making no more breaks
for liberty until the injured member
shall become fully repaired. In the
meantime Lieutenant Boston has in
formed the officials at the Zoo that az
soon as the part cat, part monkey
shall recover sufficiently to be remov-
ed he will present It to that institu-
| ton.

a good reason.
No Figures From Tammany.
While he believes privately and In
sists publicly that Gaynor viii be
elected, he Is not sure about the re-
mainder OF the city ticket. This is
due to the leaders in their reports de-
claring that the "silent vote" will be
the largest this year in the city's his

has been useless and Tammany hopes
for the best, but is preparing for the
worst.

clared one of the tiger chiefs today,
''and we are doing all we can to get

because the latter in a speech last

by $4,000, but 1t Is understood that in
his statement this evening he will
raise the ante. He win claim Ban
