CAVALRY CALLED OUT,
To Protect Suffragettes in Parade at
Washington.

To Protect Suffragettes In Parade at
Washington.
Washihgton.-Five thousand women
marching in the womaa suffrage pageant
practically fought their way foot by
foot up Pennsylvania avenue, through a
surging mob that completely defied the
Washington police, swamped the march
ers and broke their procession into little
companies. The women, trudging stoutly
along under great difficulties, were able
to complete their march only when
troops of cavalry from Fort Meyer We're
rushed into Washington to take charge
of Pennsylvania avenue. No Inaugural
ton has produced such scenes, which
in many instances amounted to nothing
less than riots.
Later, in Continental Hall, the women
turned what was to have been suf-
frage demonstration into an Indignation
meeting, in which the Washington po-
lice were roundly denounced for their in
activity, and resolutions were passed
calling upon President-eleet Wilson and
the incoming congress to make an in
vestigation and locate the responsibility
for the indignities the marehers sui
fered.

NEW JERSEY, SECRETARY WAR.
TENNESSEAM ATTORNEY GEN.

ton, of Missouri, Secretary of Agri-

The selection of Vice Chancellor Gar
rison of New Jersey to be secretary OF

of the war department should be man
of unusual administrative ability.
The choosing of David Franklin Hous-
ton, chancellor of Washington Uniyer-
sity, st. Louis, No., for the portfolio
of agriculture, also occasions little sur
prise as Mr.. Wilson's intimate knowl-
edge of agriculture has led him to seek
man familiar with the processes of
advancing scientific farming and allied
questions in this country. Mr.. Houston
was president of the Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College for number OF
years.

RAILROADS WITHDRAW ADVANCES
Old Tariffs on Hardwood and Pine Again
Effective.

Memphis. Memphis lumbermen are
elated over the announcement made by
various railroads of the withdrawal of
advances on hardwoods ard pine from
production points to Canadian fields No
tice to this effect was received by J. H.
Townshend, manager of the Southern
Hardwood Traffic Bureau and means that
the railroads will not contest the suit
Of the bureau at the Interstate Com
merce Commission hearing set for March
II. The advances, il they had gone into
effect, would mean an increase from to
7 cents per hundred pounds on hard
wood and pine lumber shipped from pro-
duction points to the south of Memphis
to points in Canada. The railroad fled
the tariff containing the advances to be-
come effective on September 1, last year.
The lumbermen Immediately filed suit
through the bureau before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

tor of All Souls Unitarian church, OF
which President Taft has been a mem
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 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 Su-
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 fianking 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 fianked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accommoda-
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-
specially 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 exccu-
tive.
At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft, now ex-president of the
United States, entered 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 cheered as
they drove away to the White House,
which Woodrow Wilson entered as the
occupant and which William H. Taft
Immediately left as one whose lease
had expired.
