held what was probably the most
brilliant assemblage Of dignitaries of
state and nation, richly uniformed
ambassadors, ministers and special
representatives from practically every
country Of the civilized world.
The voice Of the usher at the door

the corridor which followed the two
chief figures into the crowded cham
ber..
The president and Mr.. Taft walked
side by side down the aisle to chairs
Immediately in front Of the clerk S
desk, and sat facing the audience.
Everyone in the great assemblage rose
and remained standing until Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt were seated. On
the floor of the chamber were ranged
the members Of the diplomatic corps,
justices Of the supreme court, mem
bers Of the house and senate, the. ad-
mirals Of the navy, the chief Of staff
Of the army and scores of other off
cials and distinguished visitors.
The ceremonies of the inaugural
formally began when e-President
Fairbanks, in 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 adj
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 Six

surprise and solemn hush fell upon
the assemblage. Mr.. Taft arose, took
the arm Of Senator Knox, chairman OF
the joint committee on arrangements.
and walked around to position in the
rear OF the presiding officers desk.
He was followed by Chief Justice
Fuller, who was officiating for the
fifth time at this historic ceremony.
Mr.. Taft took up a position facing
the members Of his family, grouped in
the gallery. The chief justice began
the administration of the oath in a
low tone. Mr.. Taft repeated the words
IN slow, distinct voice. When he at
last had kissed the Bible there was an
outburst of applause, a grasp of the
hand by the chief justice and President
Taft Immediately began his inaugural
address, He read from typewriter
manuscript.
Mr.. Taft won applause at the very
outset by announcing his adherence to
the Roosevelt policies and of his in
tention to carry them out by means of
further legislation, which would also
have for its purpose the freeing from
alarm of those pursuing proper and
progressive business methods. =
The galleries were not alone in
applauding the succeeding points made
by Mr.. Taft. The staid members of
the senate constantly interrupted with
applause while the representatives
were even more demonstrative.
The diplomats listened intently to
Mr.. Taft $ outline of foreign policy.
His frankness in dealing with the
various subjects touched upon in his
address won much commendation. The
new president expression of friend
ship for the south and his again assert
ed belief that the negro problem was
in a fair way of proper settlement
aroused great applause.

had dined with Mrs. Taft at TOO
O'Clock and had stopped in at the
Metropolitan to say few words al
the dinner of the class of '78 at Yale.
Mr.. Taft's day was one Of continu-
ing cheers and plaudits from the mo-
ment he first appeared on the White
house portico 10 go to his Inauguration
until he returned late tonight, an un-
willing leave-taker from the inaugur-
al ball.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft were the guests
of the Roosevelts at the White house
last night, setting new precedent in
the courtesies Of the executive man
sion, as they did again today when
Mrs. Taft accompanied the newly made
president and Mr.. Sherman. the new
vice-president, from the capitol at the
head of the parade to the White house.
The presidential carriage was drawn
by four bay horses, which had been
closed against the storm as President
and Mrs. Taft made their way to the
capitol was thrown open as the return
journey began and President Taft,
quickly recognized by the crowd, which
stood enthusiastically unmindfu1 of
the snow and slush about them, was
acclaimed all along the great distance
Of the avenue.
Wearing his broadest of smiles he
bowed right and left in acknowledge
ment the succeeding ovation that
marked this progress to the White
house.
When they met at breakfast this
morning Mr.. Taft and President Roose- /
welt were as happy as two boys.
Il knew it would be a cold day
when | was made president Of the
United States, exclaimed Mr.. Taft.
81 knew there would be a blizzard
clear up to the moment I went out of
office, = rejoined President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft was disappointed when ar
irving at the capitol, shortly after !
Il 100 o'clock, he found that the COM
mittee on arrangements had practically
abandoned all hope of an outdoor cere-
mony. Mr. Taft SAID he was anxious
that the American people represented
in the throngs which gathered every
four years on the capitol plaza should
have their usual share in viewing the
1t was deemed dan
gerous, however, to force upon the
aged members of the supreme court,
the senate and diplomatic corps the
jeopardy of long exposure to the ele-
ments and the president t-elect finally
aequiesced in the change.
Not since Andrew Jackson S second
in 1883, had a president
taken che oath of office in the senate
chamber. At his first inaugural Jack
son protested against an indoor cere-
mony when SO many Of his fellow cit
liens were gathered outside the capi-
tol. SO, followed by all the distin-
g'1ished company, he proceeded to the
portico of the east front and there
took the oath of office and read his
inaugural address. His second induc-
ton into Office, however was marred
by weather similar 70 that which pre-
vailed throughout last night and today
To effect the change in ceremonies
from the great stand erected along the
east front Of the capitol to the senate
chamber, it was necessary to rush a
special resolution through the house
and senate.

Taft were announced at the main door
of the senate chamber, opposite the
officers desk, the auditor

zIONISTS CONGRESS MEETS
FIRST TIME IN GERMANY
Prof. Advises Jews Not to
Commit Cause to Young Turks
in OsmRn Empire.

HAMBURG, Dec. 27.-The international
Zionist congress-, the first held in Ger
many, opened yesterday with a large at
tendance. David Wolffsohn of Cologne,
president of the executive committee,
greeted the delegates! He outlined the
present status and outlook Of Zionist
projects, making particular reference to
the fact that Palestine is now under coll
stitutional government.
Zionists, he said, must not believe that it
is their duty to follow the Young Turks
without discrimination. They are merely a
political party of the empire, and 1t would
be ~tactless and unwise for the Zionists to
mix in the internal political affairs of
Turkey by committing their cause to any
political party.
HI said that the Jews would never ac-
cept privileges in Turkey IL they were COM
PEELED to assimilate with the Turks and be
excluded from Palestine. But they would
become good Osman citizens If allowed to
settle in the land of their forefathers, and
there establish n Jewish nation like an in
dlvidual state in the empire, or other fed
Grafton. They do not intend to establish
an independent state.
Prof. Nordeau advised adhering to the
program OF the first Zionist congress at
Basel. At the conclusion OF the address
Prof. Nordeau was elected president Of the
congress.

STATEHOOD WILL COME
AT THE END OF A YEAR
Legislation Mt This Session Will Pro-
vide Territories With Way to
Secure Constitutions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2C.-Statehood leg
islation at the present session of congress
will not go beyond giving authority to the
people of New Mexico and Arizona to hold
constitutional conventions and provide
the means for such conventions, If the
wishes of leading members of congress die
tate the policy. This program is in
harmony with the message of President
Taft.
During the last session of the Sixtieth
congress the house passed a bill to admit
both New Mexico and Arizona as separate
states. 1t was predicted that the measure
would go through the senate In short Or
der. Such was not the case, however.
One meeting of the committee was held
and the sentiment was entirely against
hasty action.
The indications are that a bill will be
passed at his session providing the means
for holding constitutional conventions and
for elections to pass upon the question Of
adopting or rejecting the constitutions. 1t
is believed that the effect will be to in
sure good state constitutions and make 1t
certain that two new stars will be added
to the flag within a year from the date Of
adjournment of the present congress.

F~ItZSimmOnS
is Knocked Out
BY Bill Lang
Veteran of Ring Puts Up Game Fight
for Twelve Rounds, But Sue
cumbs to Uppercut.

SYDNEY, N. 5. w, Loo. zT.-Bul Lang,
the Australian heavyweight, knocked out
Bob Fitzsimmons In the twelfth round Of
their light at Rush Cutters Bay stadium
today. The fight was evenly contested up
to the last round, when Lang forced Fitz-
simmons to the ropes, knocked him down
with a right hand blow to the jaw and,
when he rose, sent him to the floor sense
less from a right hand uppercut.
F1tzsimmons had not appeared in the ring
in Australia since he left here for the
United States many years ago, and when
he climbed through the ropes today he was
given an enthusiasts reception. The vet
eran looked TO be In splendid condition
after his long period Of preparation for to-
days tight.
The fight opened rather tamely, Lang
showing his extreme nervousness. He was
freely hooted for holding in the clinches
and frequently butting his opponent ana
refusing to break clean. -Fltzslmmons, on
the contrary. fought cleanly and quickly
became the favorite with the crowd.
AS the fight progressed Lang regained
confidence and forced the pace, but Fitz-
simmons cleverly evaded his PUSHES and
frequently landed clean blows on the fac,
and body. In a hot rally in the eleventh
round Fitzsimmons cut Lang's right e.,
severely with a left hand punch.
When the twelfth and last round openCL
Lang rushed F-itzsimmons through the
ropes and floored him with a right hanu
swing. Fitzsimmons took the count of nine
and rose groggy. Lang was at him fiercely
as soon as he regained his feet, batterins
the tottering veteran about the ring. He
forced against the ropes and,
with a hard right uppercut on the jaw, sent
him down and out.
Lang was a strong favorite in the bet
ting at ODDS of l to Z. His weight was an
nounced at 1855 pounds, while tItzsimmons
gave his at los pounds. Arthur Scott was
the referee. The weather was warm ana

Madriz Takes
Immediate Steps
for the People
Orders Old Officials Imprisoned for
Misappropriation of Funds e-
laya Guest Of Diaz.

MANAGUA. Nicaragua, Dec. 27.-The new
president of Nicaragua, Jose Madriz, is
taking hold of affairs with a strong hand.
Zelaya eft him the legacy Of an empty
treasury, and soon after President Madriz
had publicly announced in effect that the
country was practically on the verge of
bankruptcy, the arrest Of Joaquin Passos,
zelaya's son-in-law, and Ernesto Martinez,
zelaya's last finance minister, was ordered.
They are now in the hands Of the author
tiles charged with misappropriation OF
funds, failure to register government bonds
and the circulation Of unsigned paper
money.
Francisco Baca, who has replaced DR..
Julian Frias as minister general, is pre-
pairing a decree establishing a commission
for the purpose of revoking the franchises
under which a score of monopolies, given
to individuals by Zelaya nave been oper-
ated. These monopolies poured into Ze-
laya's purse vast sums Of money for, while
they were ostensibly in the hands Of others,
it was to the former president that the
greater portion OF the returns was trans
ferred. Passos is looked upon as the
creator of these monopolies and the dummy
utilized by Zelaya to cover his large stock
interests therein. His arrest has been en-
Enthusiastically received.
Santos Ramirez, Zelaya's chief of tele-
graph, has also been arrested. He is
charged with having sent a telegram in the
name of President Madriz, ordering the
government troops to abandon their strong
positions. Generals Anastasio Ortiz, Benito
Chavarria and Pauline Cooley, who were
banished by Zelaya In 1896 nave been re-
called by Madriz.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. N.-That zelaya in
tends to so eventually to Belgium was the
belief expressed tonight by Minister Castro,
Nicaraguan representative in this city. He
said the former president probably would
como direct to Mexico City where he would
doubtless be the guest Of President Diaz
for q time after which he would proceed
to Belgium, his wife's native land.
The Mexican gunboat Guerrero, with ex-
President Zelaya on board, arrived off
Salina Cruz at $3.50 tonight, according to a
dispatch to the Associated Press from that
port. The vessel made no attempt to enter
the harbor, but anchored outside.
The Guerrero was not expected to reach
Salina Cruz before tomorrow night and
must have made a record breaking run,
1t is said here, to cover the distance In
so short a time. Officials of the Mexican
government computed the time that would
probably be consumed in the trip at sew
enty-two hours, although they admitted
that the gunboat could make the run in
much less time If necessary.

Harry Orme Has
Mishap In Air
Inventor of Areoplane Suffers Fall
Similar to One That Injured
0rville Wright.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Dec. 26,-Harry
Orme, the inventor of an aeroplane which
experts have declared to be a long step
forward in the science of aviation, came
to grief here last week in aeprivate trial
and his flying machine was badly dam
aged. The news leaked out today. Orme's
accident was similar to that which over
took Orville Wright at Fort Myer and
which resulted in his serious injury and
the death of Lieutenant Selfridge Of the
signal corps of the army.
A loose wire got in the way Of the pro-
pellers, breaking the steering device and
running many of the wire supports. The
machine will be repaired within the next
few days, when the tests will be resumed.
The Orme machine differs from the usual
types of aeroplanes in that it is equipped
with a parachute arrangement above the
biplanes, which the inventor believes will
prevent the sudden plunging of the arial
craft to earth II any mishap occurs in
midair.
