Capitol. But this time it was
thbught best to vary from the
pr'Actice and remain indoors. So
itFas done, and President Taft
!, ,toSa eyer the reins of the gov
lment in the senate chamber.
( MSy one other instance Of this
kisd appears in our history, and
thu was at the time Of Grants
sSpnd Inauguration.
Ia the return to the White
iiaase the snow had ceased fall.
iEss and the sun appeared about
tosaome out at times. But the
wiad was high and very chilling.
Insspite Of this, however, the line
Of march was thronged with
eas ger crowds waiting, and shiv-
er,ng as they waited, to get a
| glimpse of the new president.
Hs approach was hailed with
cheers and men and women for
gct their cold feet in their en-
thusiasm. The president was
accompanied by his wife, Ex-
President Roosevelt having gone
directly to the station from the
capitol. Mrs. Sherman rode
with the president. They
all looked very happy. Mr..
lTaft's jolly, round face was all
a-wreathe in smiles.
When the president and party
reached the White House, lunch
con was served. Then began
TIE great inaugural parade, the
g.ynggnilnt reySnwing II from his
stand in front Of the White
House. The feature Of the cele-
bration was somewhat crippled
by the absense Of some Of the
bodies Of soldiers and other Or
ganizations which were unable to
reach the city.
The fireworks at night were
splendid, and were viewed by
many thousands in spite Of the
snow, slush and biting winds.
The pieces were arranged at the
base OF the Monument. The dis
play was one Of the finest ever
produced and included many en-
tirely new effects. The colors
were a perfect dream Of brillian-
cy. Immense rockets were shot
nigh above the top Of the monu-
mont, there TO explode and be-
come showers Of beautiful stars
in all colors, An aerial battle
effect was produced. Another
was a fiery fountain, and anoth-
er was an imitation Of Niagara
Falls in light as bright as molten
silver. This immense piece was
90 brilliant that II lighted the city
as bright as day.
After the fireworks, the inaug-
ural ball began, This Is said to
be the most brilliant ball that has
ever formed O part Of the inaug.
ural festivities, The great hall
Of the pension office, whore the
ball was held, was beautifully
decorated with smilax and potted
azaleas. The presidents private
box at the west end Of the hall
was fittingly decorated with
flowers, while above was q SUM-
burst Of flags, Tho Marine Band
furnished the music.
On Friday night in the pension
office, q grand concert was given.
A chorus Of six hundred singers
participated, accompanied by the
Marine Band. The audience
numbered nero than twelve
thousand. A similar concert was
rendered on Saturday night, with
music by the Philippine Consta-
bulary Band.

Hour" we offered to take the play on
fair and equitable terms and such as
now prevail in this city. Mr.. Bradfords
reply was notice of cancellation of
our contract. and Mr.. Bradford now
tells me the reason his principals have
instructed him to deliberately break
our contract is the fact that they are
receiving a 10 per cent bonus for the
play.
Our experience tells us that it is inn
possible for managers to pay such a
bonus and at the same time present the
play at reasonable prices to the public.
And | might add here that when Busi-
news Manager Bradford demanded that
the price of the seats be fixed at from
so cents to 50 1 refused to agree be-
cause the show is not worth those
prices. in which opinion Mr.. Bradford
has subsequently been candid enough
to say that he agrees.
We have been established here a long
time and we do not propose at this or
any future time TO hold up our clientele
in order to meet the arbitrary demands
of booking agencies for unusual and
unfair prices.
I do not intend to go to New York.

the contract fully protects our interests

tion hereafter as may be necessary.
PRESS AGENT Is BLAMED
Our theater is so located that We ars
never at loss in the matter OF secur-
ing good attractions Something has
been said in the papers regarding the
size Of our stage. In view of the fact
that it has accommodated some of the
biggest troupes ever playing here II
can be seen that such comments are
merely the work OF the Industrious
press agent of an opposition manager.
/ hope and trust that the Shuberts,
who are advertising themselves so eX-
tepsively upon the basis that their
mana cement means fair play to the
public and the actors. will realize the
mistake they are making and comply
with their contract. but If they direct
their representative here to play The
Witching Hour at our house the
prices will not exceed S1.50, as we have
the word Of the business manager of
the Shuberts that the show is not worth
any more than that

WEST POINT HAzfRS
Cadets Who Beat Young Sutton
Are Dismissed From the
Military Academy

WEST POINT. n. Y, Aug. 19.-By
direction of President Taft seven cadets
were dismissed from the United States
military academy for being involved in
the hazing of Cadet Rolando Sutton OF
portland. ore. Cadet Sutton is a
brother of Lieutenant James n. Sutton
of the naval academy, whose death was
investigated at Annapolis recently
The cadets named are:
John H. Booker Jr. of West Point Ca, first
Richard w Hooker. Kansas City, Mo-, third
class.
Earl W. DunmOre, Utica, n. Y. third class;
Chauncey n. Devore, Wheeling, w. Va, third
Gordon Lefevre, Richmond, Va, third class.
Albert Crane, Hawarden, Iowa, third class.
Jacob S. Fortner, Dothan, Ala, third class.
Their dismissal is in accordance with
military academy regulation, providing
that any cadet guilty of hazing shall
be summarily dismissed from the mill
tary academy
on the morning of June IA last Cadet
Sutton of the fourth. or plebe, class, q
marine corps. whose death had been
under investigation by a court of in
quiry. reported SIX and was ordered
to the hospital badly bruised and suf-
fering great pain. He did not report
for duty until % days later and his
case Immediately became a matter OF
concern TO the upper classmen when
il was seen that the authorities In
tended to investigate it.
SUTTON A RELUCTANT WITNESS
Before the board of investigation
Sutton proved a most reticent witness
Though he gave a complete narrative
IL Ft,0 ferI1f Of TrrTa
Is, he protested TO have been unable
to recognize his assailants.
One hundred and f1fty-seven wit
nesses are understood to have been
commanded to tell all they knew and
in ways satisfactory to itself. the board
determined without the aid of Sutton
on the cadets at fault. The findings
were then forwarded to Washington
and when the last point of doubt had
been made clear the war department
with the approval of President Taft
took the decisive action announced
here today.
No COMMENT BY OFFICERS
No.comment on the affair is made by
officers here, but it is understood that
they approve heartily of a stiff front
in even trivial cases of horseplay.
The broadly spread understanding
here is that Sutton was "booed" by q
sheeted ghost and that like stout
listed young westerner he defended his
personal dignity and his duty so effec-
lively that the ghost was glad to take
to the woods. A relief party of hob
COLLINS" then descended on him with
tent pegs and beat him into subsection
Throughout the investigation Sutton's
tact and loyalty to his fellow cadets
have won him high popularity. The
dismissed upper class men are sup
posed to have no hope of reinstatement
as the president is not likely to reverse
his decision.

mum Allowed Taft's Auto
in Beverly, Mass.

BEVERLY, Mass. Aug. 1s.-Presi-
dent Taft is not an automobile
scorcher, according to an official state
ment made today.
Stories that have gone abroad about
the great speed at which Taft's chauf-
feur takes him along the smooth, oiled
roadways about Beverly brought let
tiers of protest from rImid admirers of
Taft These urged that Robinson, who
drives the presidents car, be directed
to exercise more caution.
The president does like to go fast
when out in a machine. but to reassure
those who have taken the interest to
write it was announced thar Robinson
has specific instructions not to exceed
20 miles an hour at any time and that
the needle on the speedometer which
remains fixed at the maximum speed
until reset, never nowadays shows a
fraction above the 90 mile mark
The presidents car is passed by
every other one on the road.
TAFT PREPARING SPEECHES
President Taft is giving some thought
to the many speeches to be made on
his long western and southern trip and
also to his annual message to congress-
The president has thought out the gem
eral plan of his message; he has sew
eral cabinet officers at work on the
details of it and will not take up the
work of assembling the document until
week or so before congress is to
gather. The message is not likely to
be long.

travelling party has been completed.

The party will travel in two private
cars.
TAFT TO STOP AT OGDEN
1t practically was decided today to
include Ogden, Utah, in the list of
stopping places. This change will
necessitate a curtailment of the stay
in Salt Lake City and was arranged in
accordance with a request from the
Utah committees. The president will
reach Salt Lake City late in the after
noon of Friday September "a. On the
way to Salt Lake it had been ar
ranged that there should be stop
of one hour or more at Provo, Utah.
The president will be in Butte, Mont.
Monday morning, September 81. and
the stay in ogden will probably be on
the Sunday preceding.

COINS FORMAL STATEMENT
This is Cohn's formal statement:
We are in receipt of telegram from
the Shuberts in which they demand
that we come to New York to adjust
matters.
We went to New York in March last
and after over weeks discussion and
consideration we executed a formal
nine page written agreement with the
Shuberts covering the exclusive use of
the American theater for their attrac-
lions. This contract provides for every
detail of the arrangement between us
and expressly states that the price We
pay for plays shall be governed by the
prices paid by other first class houses
here.

OIL FOUND NEAR KEMMERER.

Oil was found in Well No. 16 of the
International Oil Co. at Spring Valley
this week, and from report it is said to
be most promising producer and will
materially increase the daily produce
ion of this progressive company. At
present this company is turning over
it's products to the Salt Lake Pittshurg
refinery, but it is rumored that in a
short time it will erect its own refinery.
While we have as good prospects for
oil in this neighborhood as exists in
Spring Valley, the attemps to locate it,
have either been done by companies
with insufficient capital to prosecute
the search to the depth required, or by
individuals or companies who desire to
increase their holdings of oil land by
discouraging locators to the point of
abandonment of their claims and then
seizing them to their own benefit.
There are two outfits in this field at the
present time. who are either working
or have machinery on the road. one is
located north and east of town, about
three miles distant and is a California
company, who have a standard rig and
are making good progress in drilling
with all indications of striking oil in a
short time, and the other is British
Columbia company who now have a
standard rig on the way and will pros
ecute drilling operations in the Fossil
district i'll the neighborhood of the old
Paraffine well, which was small pro
Queer at less than two hundred feet.
Taken altogether the situation is most
encouraging and it would not surprise
those who are acquainted with the con-
ditions of this field to hear early in the
coming seasan that oil has been struck
in paying quantities. = KemmereI
