Carrying Out of Plan Would
Be Serious Blunder.
EXECUTIVE IMPRESSED
BY THEIR ARGUMENTS
Confab Quite Satisfactory, Vis-

Matter Into legislature
[rrom a staft corresponaent.l ]

TRENTON Feb 3.-There has been
no receding by the Junior Order United
American Mechanics as to the position
taken by the organization regarding
the diversion of the main stem rail-
road taxes from the use of the schools,
according to statement given out by
DR.. Grafton E. Day DIR. Day and sew
eral other State officers called on Gov
ernor Fort on Monday, and when they
left the impression was created that a
settlement of the trouble had been
reached.
THE statement that we had given
way at our interview with the Gov
ernor,' said DR.. Day last night. land
would offer no further opposition to
his plan, is erroneous We are still
positive that the plan is all wrong.
and we shall continue to do everything
in our power to prevent its adoption
by the Legislature.
You can say, however, that we are
assured there is no probability of any
action by the Legislature such as Gov
ernor Fort has asked for. The Senate
finance committee will be heard from
shortly. They will offer a solution of
the problem without injury to the
schools
Il am not at liberty to give any fur
ther information concerning our talk
with the Governor. / am sorry we
were unable to give information to the
newspaper men yesterday. Let me
make it very clear that there has been
no change of sentiment on our part,
and that we told the Governor so. l
might add that lie told US he was not
especially devoted to any single plan
for meeting the contingency, and that
he had no idea of proposing anything to
cripple the cause of education when he
sent his special financial message TO
the Legislature, But he was anxious,
he said, as the executive head of the
State for its financial welfare, and
wanted very much to find some plan
for relieving the present situation.
The Governor said that was his sole
purpose in suggesting that larger
share of railroad taxes be diverted from
schools to State uses. But he does not
insist upon following that course, and
we were greatly pleased with the un-
derstanding with him which we were
able to reach.'
The Junior Order has in its ranks
50,000 voters. The officers We're invited
by Governor Fort to talk things over
with the executive. When they left
the only statement that be would make
was that he and his callers had reached
a clear understanding and that had
they talked With him on the subject
prior to the issuing OF the circular de-
nouncing the diversion nlan it would
probably not have been issued. J

Chamber.

they watched the proceedings below.
Unusual success attended the efforts
of the committee that had charge of
decorating the ballroom, and 1t was
generally admitted that such wonder
fully beautiful effects had rarely, if
ever, before been accomplished.
A vaulted canopy of bunting reduced
the great height of the hall by some
40 feet. The color scheme of this can
opy was a deep cream tint and this
was also carried out behind the two
stored colonnades which encircled the
court, forming background to the
elaborate floral decorations.
Novel illumination Scheme.
The illumination of the great ball
room was carried out on radically diff
ferent lines from those followed hith-
erto. Instead of embodying the lights
in the floral decoration, following the
structural lines of the cornices or
arches, the principal groups of lights
were placed with a view to securing
the best general illumination falling
equally upon the decorations and the
guests. This result was secured by
suspending from the vaulted ceiling
10 large fixtures composed of hexag-
onal frames supporting clusters Of
1926 globular lamps of frosted glass,
each lamp hanging from separate
wire, and the whole arranged in a
bowl-shaped mass. This mass of
dropping lights was suspended by six
| gilded chains secured to a sturdy ring
and heavy chain above, suspending the
entire fixture from the vaulted ceiling.
Supplementing this provision for gen
| eral illumination, half octagon brack-
cts, each with a cluster of 20 small
lamps suspended from it, were placed
over each of the first story columns
of the arcade.
| Grand Fireworks Display.
Forthe benefit of the throngs who could
not attend the ball, there was an illu-
mination and fireworks display such as
Washington never before saw. His

with light from end to end. Not only
were all the business houses brilliant.

Washington, Mar. 6.-William H.
Taft was lnaugurated as president yes
terday amid the worst weather condi-
lions that ever have marked the great
national event. So severe was the
snow and sleet storm that the new
chief magistrate was forced to take
the oath and deliver his inaugural adj
dress in the senate chamber.
For more than "a hours the storm
ragged, and at noon there was about
eight inches of snow on the ground.
The wind thrashed many of the city's
prettiest decorations to threads. The
immense reviewing stands along the
line of march were made we'll nigh
uninhabitable by the swirling snow
Street car and railroad traffic was i'm
peded to the extent Of seriously delay
ing the arrival OF thousands who had
planned to attend the inaugural cere-
monies.
The nations capital, for many hours,
was cut off from all wire communica-
ton with the rest of the world.
1t was a day of strenuosity in Wash
ington and as if in sympathy with the
outgoing executive the weather made
blizzardly appeal to the thousands
who were not deferred by the worst
that the weather man could turn on.
To add the final touch of strenuosity,
Mr.. Roosevelt declined to ride to the
railroad station from which he de-
parted to Oyster Bay. He walked
through the snow.
Ball and Parade Given.
Though the thousands of citizens
who had come here from all over the
country were denied the privilege OF
witnessing the solemn ceremonies at
tending the administering of the oath
to the new president, the more spec
tacular features Of the day were not
omitted. All who braved the storm
saw the great inaugural parade car
| planned; and in the evening the in
augural ball and the display of fire
works were given with their brilliancy
undimmed by the adverse weather
conditions.
The ball, given in the Pension build
ing, was magnificent, as 1t always is
It was attended by tremendous
| throng. In the center of the great hall
which occupies the lower floor of the
structure, space was roped off. The
visitors stood outside the open place
waiting the arrival of President and
Mrs. Taft and Vice-President and Mrs
Sherman. They came finally and
stayed on the main floor for some
time, and then retired for the presi
dents box in the gallery above, where
