INAUGURAL BALL MAGNIFICENT.
Vast ,AssembIage at the Pension
Buildinu at Nioht.

Washington, March Magnificent
in its splendor and presenting a scene
of rare beauty which quickened even
human emotion, the inaugural ball last
night was a climax of day of tri-
umphs for William II. Taft In the
vast hall of the pension building, re-
sembling a dream OF fairyland, mingled
fair women, beautifully gowned aud
from every cline; men whose names
are known in every corner of the world,
diplomats in court raiments, statesmen
in sombre attire, officers of the army
and navy in gorgeous uniforms and or
binary American citizens, whose pres
ence testified to the democracy of the
affair.
In the gallery which extended about
the four sides Of the ball room,
thousands of beautiful American girls
looked down upon the awe inspiring
scene.
Taft is Light Hearted.
President Taft appeared Particular
ly light hearted and unmindful of
serious things as with Mrs. Taft and
Vice President and Mrs. Sherman,

the great ball room.
"A chance gaze upward as the prom

the president face to face with mis-
children who had taken seats in his
box and there was a keen manifesto

salutations. Dancing was INDUCED in

MORE LIBEL INDICTMENTS.
New York World and Managing Editor
Held in Gothart.

Held in Gothart.
New York, March 5.-The United
States grand jury handed up indict-
ments charging the Press Publishing
Company, the corporate name of the
New York. World, and Caleb NJ. Van
Hanl1n, managing editor of the World:
with criminal libel. The corporation,
thru its attorneys and Mr.. Van Hamm,
will appear in the United States cir
cult court at noon tomorrow and will
be arraigned.
For some unexplained reason the
United States officers who had knowl-
edge of the indictments refused to dis
cuss them in any way This was in
marked contrast with the action of the
officials in Washington when the libel
indictments were found there, and
when the text of the indictments and
all the salient features of the case were
made public. Assistant District Attor-
ney Wise, who has charge of the
cases, was in Washington and District
Attorney Stimson refused to make a
statement.
, 1t is believed that in view of the evil
dence that was presented to the grand
;ury hero that the indictments are
Iased on the same publication as those
On which .+ile Washington indictments
were found. The alleged libelous pub
!ications were in connection with arti-
cles on the purchase of the Panama
canal. and the aggrieved parties
named in those indictments are The
ctlore Roosevelt. William II. Taft, J.
+. Morgan. r:.lihu Root, Charles p.
Taft, Douglas Robinson and William
Nelson Cromwell.
BY u strange coincidence the indict-
mcnts were handed up just as Theodore
Roosevelt who lad instituted the pros
e,tion, was serving his last few mo-
ments of his term of office 1t was noon
when Judge Holt was asked to sus-
pend the trial in the civil term of court
and stepped into the room where the
crimina. trials are held.
The clerk and the district attorney
were the only others present when the
grand jury reported to the judge. There
were several indictments, and it Is pos
sible that the other indictments relat-
ing to the same subject matter were
found, but this information could not
be verified

of murder in the first degree. Mere

this attempted murder" he said.
