Formation of Parade.
The military and the civil parade, a
huge affair which stretched it's
ength for miles along the Washington
streets, formed or the avenues radiat-
Ing from the capitol. After President
elect Wilson haG become President
Wilson and ce-President-elect Mar
shall had become Vice-President
Marshall, they went straightway from
the capitol to the White House and
thence shortly to the reviewing stand
n the park at TIE mansions front.
The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, United 5tates army, as its
grand marshal, started from the CAPT
toll grounds to move along the avenue
to the White House. where it was to
pass in review. The trumpeter sound
ed forward march" at the instant the
signal was flashed from the White
house that in fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
in-chief of the armies and nayies of
the United States would be ready to
review his troops"
It was thought that the parade might
lack some Of the picturesque features
which particularly appealed to the
people on former occasions. There
were Indians and rough riders here
not only when Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated, but when he went out of Office
and was succeeded by William H.
Taft. The parade, however, in honor
Of Mr.. Wilson seemed to be pictur-
esque enough in its features to appeal
to the multitudes. They certainly
made noise enough over it.

The procession was in divisions,
with General Wood as the grand
marshal OF the whuie affair and hav-
ing place at its head. The display,

occasions, was impressive and bril-.

The regulars of the country's two

of way. Maj Gen. ". w. Wother-
spoon, United States army. was in
command OF the first division, in
which marched the soldiers and sailors
and marines from the posts and the
navy yards within days ride of
Washington. The West Point cadets
and the midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis, competent be.
yond other corps in manual and in
evolution. the future generals and ad
mirals Of the army, had place in the
first division
All branches of the army service
were represented in the body of regu-
lars-engineers, artillery, cavalry, in
fantry and signal corps. The sailors
and marines from half dozen battle
ships rolled along snartly in the wake
Of their landsmen brethren.
The National Guard division follow
ed the division OF regulars. 1t was
commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Mills, United States army, who wore
the medal of honor given him for con-
spicuous personal gallantry at the bat
tie of San Juan hill. General Mills is
the chief OF the militia division OF the
United States war department.
The entire National Guard of New
Jersey was in line, and Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia

were represented by bodies Of civilian
soldiers. Cadets from many of the
private and state military schools Of
the country had place in the militia

The third division of the parade was
composed of Grand Army of the Re-

Der. After the prayer the vice-presi
dent administered the oath of Office
to all the newly chosen senators, and
Herewith the senate of the United
States passed for the first time in
years into the control Of the Demo
cratic party
Procession to the Platform.
Immediately after the senate cere-
monies a procession was formed to
march to the platform of the east por-
tico Of the capitol, where Woodrow
Wilson was to take the oath. The pro-
cession included the president and the
president-elect, members Of the SUI
preme court, both houses of congress,
all of the foreign ambassadors, all of
the heads Of the executive depart
ments, many governors of states and
territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy
and several high officers of the sea
service, the chief of staff of the army
and many distinguished persons from
civil life. They were followed by the
members of the press and by those
persons who had succeeded in secur-
ing seats in the senate galleries to
witness the days proceedings.
When President Taft and the presi-
dent-elect emerged from the capitol
on to the portico they saw in front
of them, reaching far back into the
park to the east, an immense con-
course Of citizens. In the narrow line
between the onlookers and the plat
form on which Mr.. Wilson was to take
the oath, were drawn up the cadets
of the two greatest government
schools, West Point and Annapolis,
and flanking them were bodies Of reg
ulars and Of national guardsmen. The
whole scene was charged with color
and with life.
On reaching the platform the presi-
dent and president-elect took the
seats reserved for them, seats which
were fanked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accommodate
ton of the friends and families of the
officers of the government and of the
press.
Oath Administered to Wilson.
The instant that Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Wilson came within sight of the crowd
there was a great outburst of ap-
plause, and the military bands struck
quickly into THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." Only a few bars Of the music
were played and then soldiers and CT
villains became silent to witness re-
spectfully the oath taking and to
listen to the address which followed.
The chief justice of the Supreme
court delivered the oath to the presi,
dent-elect, who, uttering the words,
Il WILL became president of the
United States. AS soon as this cere-
mony was completed Woodrow Wilson
delivered his inaugural address, his
first speech to his fellow countrymen
in the capacity OF their chief execu-
tive
At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft, low eX-president Of the
United States, entered a carriage with
| the new president and, reversing the
order of an hour before, sat on the
| left hand side of the carriage, while
Mr.. Wilson took "the seat of honor
on the right The crowds cheeTed as
they drove away to the White House,
| which Woodrow Wilson entered as the
occupant and which William H. Taft

America rode in this division. Their
pink coats and their high hats ap-
parently were not thought to jar
"Jeffersonian simplicity" from its
seat. Pink coats were worn on the
hunting field in Jefferson's day and in
Jefferson's state.
There were 1000 Princeton students
in the civic section of the parade
Many of them wore orange and black
sweaters and they were somewhat
noisy though perfectly proper. Stu
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
Cheering Is Continuous.
All along Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to a point four block be-
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
office were not accompanied by ap-
parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo-
pie over whom he is to rule for at
least four years.
Every window in every building on
Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc-
cupied for Office purposes was rented
weeks ago for a good round sum of
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by as
many spectators as cound find want
age point from which to peer through
the window panes. The roofs of the
buildings were covered with persons
| willing to stand for hours in a March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu-
raj parade. and many of them partic-
| ularly glad Of an opportunity to go
home and to say that after many years
waiting they had seen a Democratic
president inaugGrated.

sonian simplicity" which Woodrow
Wilson requested should be observed
In every detail Of his inauguration as
president did not apply to the inaugu-
raj parade, for it was as elaborate as
such an affair usually is The people
wanted it so, and they showed their
appreciation Of the spectacle by turn
ing out by the hundred thousand and
cheering wildly as the nlarchers pass
ed with bands playing loudly and flags
waving bravely.
The newly inaugurated president re-
viewed the procession and smiled his
approval as he returned the salutes Of
the commanding officers, for all the
glittering show had been arranged in
his honor. Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to the White House, was
full of color, music and movement.
People Enjoy the Sight.
The inhibition of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at
the capitol had no effect as q bar to
the attendance at this ceremony Of
changing presidents. Masses were here
to see, and other masses were here to
march. There was greater demon
stration while the procession was pass
ing than there was four years ago
Victory had come to party which
had known nothing like victory for a
good many years. The joy of posses
sion found expression in steady and
abundantly noisy acclaim.

Affects FREIGHT Charge Claim.

If the bill recommended favorably
by the committee on transportation
of the assembly passes both houses
of the legislature claims for excess
freight charges may be filed any
time within two years. The meas
ure is similar to the provisions in
the interstate commerce act and the
idea of the bill is to make the pro-
ceeding in each case uniform. When
the railroad commission act was
passed il contained a provision that
charges might be fled within six
months. The Legislature two years
ago extended the provision to one
year and the bill to make the pro-
vision uniform with the interstate
commerce act was introduced by As
semblyman Holmes. The railroad
officials made no objection to the
measure at the committee hearing.
