THE INAUGURATION IF PRESIDENT TAFT. The Spend0P the Ceremony Partially 0sced by Blizzard Which,
 EnVeoped Washington and Deranged the Program
For the First Time In of Century the Great Crowd Which Gdfhered About the East Front of CaDfOI Was DiSdppOnfed--The Imposing Ceremonies Were Performed In the Crowded Senate Chamber In
 the Presence of Brilliant and
 Distinguished ASsembIaqe.

Washington, March 4.-The frs chief executive to take the oath O office in the chamber of the senat in 76 years William Howard Taft became president of the Unite, States today. Accompanied to tn capitol through a swirl of blindinl snow by President Roosevelt and guard of honor, MT. Taft returned to the White House just as the SUI began to force its way through tn, clouds.
 4 sudden blizzard sweeping in iron the northwest last night set awry tn, weather bureaus optimistic promis, of fair and somewhat cooler weather, and caused an abandonment of the outdoor ceremonies on tn, famous east front of the capitol much to MT. Taft's chagrin and il threatened for a time to stop tho brilliant pageant of the afternoon.
 However, a passage way was clear ed along the center of Pennsylvania avenue and for nearly three hours President Taft and Vice President Sherman reviewed a passing column which was replete with martial splen- dor and picturesque with civic dis play.
 Following the inaugural ceremonies in the senate, MT. Roosevelt, again a private citizen, bade an affectionate adieu to his successor while all in the historic chamber looked on in silence and then he hurried away through a side door to take a train for New York. As he passed out of the chamber, MT. Roosevelt was given an ovation quite equal to that rendered the new president.
 President-and Mrs. Taft were the centers of interest at the eliminating feature of the day, the inaugural ball in the Pension building. The scene in the cavernous structure, which had been transformed into canopied court of ivory and white, was another brilliant picture quadrennially painted here by the gathering of a vast and brilliant assemblage from every sec tiOn of the country. With all the color and movements of a military spectacle with the softening influ- ence of delicately tinted gowns and the interest of persOnel seldom equal led at a social function, the inaugural ball holds a place unique in the his- tory making day. While the ball was is progress indoors. a display of fire works on the Monument lot in the rear of the White house, marked the end of the outdoor celebration. For hours the thinly clouded heavens were alight with rockets, with sun clusters that challenged the brilliancy of the day, with fiery "cobras" and all the fantastic creations of modern pyrotechy skill.
 Prior to his visit to the ball, Pres-i dent Taft had entertained at tea in the White House, the members of the Yale club; had dined with Mrs. Taft at ' o'clock and stopped in at the Metropolitan club to say a few words

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
Senate Will Be Convened at Noon Today to Consider Taft's Nominations--Minor- ity Leader Clark and Speaker Cannon.

Washington, March 4.-The six tieth congress ended at noon today. The final act, though unofficial in- solar as the house was concerned. took place in the senate chamber. where both houses witnessed the ins coming of the new administration. The senate will meet at noon tomor- row to consider President Taft's nom- nations. but the house will not con- vene again until the extra session Nis begun on March 15.
 The senate met at $40 o'clock, but the proceedings were confined to the most formal work. Vice President Fairbanks delivered an address in re- sponse to resolutions thanking him for his conduct of the office. Im- mediately after the adjournment of the sixtieth congress, the proclama- tion of the president, calling the senate in extraordinary session to consider presidential appointments were read.
 Utterly lacking in al lthe stirring incidents usually marking the closing of congress, the house, at 11:5912 o'clock, was declared by Speaker Cannon to be adjourned without day. Having convened at 10 o'clock In the morning the two hours were spent in clearing up conference reports and the passing of a few bills of no great public interest. During the ses- sion Chairman Tawney of the ap- propriations committee in the house, declared the expenditures of the gov- ernment had at no time, except in war, increased as rapidly as during the last eight years. This condition was caused, he declared by popular and executive demands upon congress for appropriations for the exercise of rights and functions belonging ex- clusively to the states and by the ab- normal and unnecessar. war expendi- lures during the time of peace.
 In the failure of Minority. Leader Clark to present the usual resolutions to the retiring speaker, Mir. Payne. the majority leader, presented them and Cannon, in reply, alluded to Clark's attitude, saying: After all is | said and done in the afafirs of par ties of men, what is needed in the public service is virile men; men who favor policies that they believe in and who have the courage of their convictions, whether it be the ma jority or the minority, and a minority virile and patriotic is as necessary as is a majority.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER I
 IN LOW LODGING HOUSE
The Slaughter of a Painter at Salt Lake.

Salt Lake City, Utah. March 4.-The body of John G. Barnett, painter, was found today in d room of a mo- torious lodging house on Commercial street and the surrounding circum- stances indicate that Barnett was lured to the room last night and then bru- tally murdered. He had evidently been beaten to death by some blunt instru- ment and cut on the face and head so as to be almost unrecognizable.
 From all appearances he had been bound and gagged before having been killed. The disordered condition of his room gave evidence that he had made a strong defense of his life, but persons sleeping in adjoining rooms declare they heard nothing except loud talking and laughing in the room. Bar nett entered the room about midnight last night with two other men, one of whom had previously rented the room. Both men have disappeared.

Friends ofthe SegregationBi|I
 Begin toLose Hope SOMETHING LIKELY TODAY
The Rather Unexpected De- feat In the Council of the Woman Suffrage Bill. Bailey's Ballot Bill Fails In the House.

It is beginning to look pretty blue for any local option segregation, and odds are now offered that there will be none. The amended Hightower bill is somewhere between the house and tn council, where it is supposed to have been for the last two days. It is nominally in conference, but there has been no formal meeting of the conference committee, and one of the council conferees says that he has had no conversation with any of his col leagues on the subject. Some of the conferees have been going over the bill informally, and it has at various times been announced that report would be brought in soon recommending that the council recede from it's amend ments
 It is said now that the council would probably do that; that atsleast two of the. four democrats who voted against the bill would consent to that, but the more they think about it the more the -prohibitionists believe that that is the worst thing that could happen to them.
 They argue that the governor might sign the bill in its amended form, but they admit that they could not expect him to approve the original Hightower bill, which is entirely subversive of the Pace bill signed by the governor only two weeks before. It is settled also that there could be no hope of passing any segregation bill over the veto of the governor and that there fore the only thing to do is to send him bill which he might approve.
 It was stated last night that the segregation matter would be settled one way or another this morning,

 Just before the beginning of the proceedings, President Roose- welt and President elect Taft entered the senate chamber and took chairs directly in front of the rostrum. Seat ed near them were members of the diplomatic corps, whose gorgeous uni forms gave practically the only touch of color to the assemblage on the floor of the chamber of state. Jus tices of the supreme court of the Limited States in their somber robes of office were seated near the presi- dent and president elect On the right the senators were seated, while to the left were members of the house of representatives
 The galleries were thronged with a brilliant assemblage, in which women largely predominated. Their modish gowns and bright hats gave a gala appearance to the upper portion of the house. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Roose-
 
 welt were the centers of attraction. Until the ceremony actually began, the families of the incoming and out going presidents were the most con- spicuous figures in a memorable gathering. There were no decorations in the chamber to emphasize the significance of the occasion, and none were need ed. The proceedings were conducted with so1emnity, and when MT. Sher- man raised his right hand at the first words of Vice President Fairbanks as he administered the oath of office, absolute quiet prevailed except for the impressive tones of the presiding officers voice.

ward us equitably requires such dis crimination. It is thought that there
 has been such change in conditions since the enactment of the Dingley Act, drafted on a similarly protec- tive principle, that the measure of the tariff above stated will permit the re- Iduction of rates in certain schedules and will require the advancement of | few, if any.
 | The proposal to revise the tariff made in such an authoritative way as to lead the business community to count. upon it, necessarily halts all those branches of business directly kaffected, and as these are most im- portant, it disturbs the whole busi- ness of the country. It is impera- lively necessary, therefore, that tariff bill be drawn in good faith in accordance with promises made before the election by the party in power, and as promptly passed as due con- sideration will permit. It is not that the tariff is more important in the long run than the perfecting of the reforms in respect to antitrust legis- lation and interstate commerce regu- lation, but the need for action when the revision of the tariff has been determined upon, is more immediate to avoid embarrassment of business. To secure the needed speed in the passage of the tariff bill, it would seem wise to attempt no other legis- lation at the extra session. I venture this as suggestion only. for the course to be taken by congress, upon the. call of the executive, is wholly within its discretion.
 Revenue First.
 In the making of a tariff bill the prime motive is taxation, and the se- curing thereby of a revenue. Due largely to the business depression which followed the financial panic of 1907, the revenue from customs and other sources has decreased to such an extent that the expenditures for the current fiscal year will exceed (Continued on Page 3, Second Section)

Jubilant Over Increase Of Divorces

and 266 on request of the wives.
One illuminating fact brought out
was that In 35l petitions the mar.
riages were chlldless and In 2l9 only
one child had been born to the dis.
cordant parents. While divorces de-
creased In 1907, judicial separations
increased from G,965 to 1853. These
statistics apply only to England, as
Scotland. Ireland and Wales possess
their own divorce Jurisdiction. ...
While the number OF divorces In
England Is below the average for the
