Senator Poindextefs FIibuSter
on Appropriation Bill Holds
back Oath Taking
(Associated Press Cablel

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Wood-
row Wilson, twsnty-eiehth president
of the United States, took the cath of
office this morning, in the presence
Of a vast crowd that filled the steps
of the capitol, overfIowed into the
plaza, and packed Pennsylvania ave-
nue. for blocks. Never in the history
Of the nation has such a crowd turned
out for the inauguration of any presl-
cent, and the weather gods smiled, a
trifle grimiy, II is true, but still they
smiled, on the event.
Cut one single hitch disturbed The
even tenor Of the ceremonies. SEN
atcr Poindexter's filibusser against
the appropriation bill in the upper
rouse held up the Inauguration of the
vice-president for 81 minutes, and the
following ceremony Of President VIII
sons swearing in, by more than an
hour and half. But this was the
only untoward event Ct the day, and
the ceremonies moved forward to the
end without further delay or Interrupt
ton.
The weather was cold, and the day
dull, with overcast skies, but the
temperature was never lower than so
degrees, and THE absence Of the usual
March winds kept the crowd from
feeling the chill as much as az former
inauouratlons.
II was shortly after seven o'clock
when Presl1sNk WIisoh ieft -lis rooras
at the ShorchzH Hotel, where both
he and Vice. President Marshall spent
The night He had been up half an
hour and had shaved himself with a
steady hand, and showed fresh and
smiling face when he turned up for
breakfast, and sfterward when he re-
ceived the newspaper correspondents.
After breakfast, with the corre-
sfondents and party of relatives and
guests, he awaited the conlinr OF
ir'sicent Taft and his party. There
was deal Of good natured bantering
l,etween the presit;en.-eIect and the
PRESIDENT and members Of both suites
when the start was finally made for
tho Capitol.
After moment spent in the p-esi-
GEMS room at the caoitol, tn. entire
partyt went TO the senate chamber 10
watch the inauguration Of Vice Presi-
dent MarshsiI. As thew entered the
cham Der Pcindexter's fi:ibuster was IN
full cry, and the hands of the clock
ccpt sr,une closer and closer to the
hour when the senate would cease to
he without any apparent let no In the
fight on the appropriation bill.
II was more than half an hour after
the time set for the administration OF
the oath to the vice-president before
the president pro TEN Of the senate
announced that the upper house was
ready to acclaim its new head. In the
meantime both the president and the
oresident-eIeet had been patiently
waiting, Neither Of them evinced any
impatienee, although Mr.. Marshall
sfowed an occasional sign Of nervous
ness. II took lonuer than was eS-
pected to finish the ceremonies at
tending the inauguration of the vice
president and il was an hour and a
half after the time set for the inaug-
yration Of Mr.. Wilson before he ap-
peared on the grand stand, accom-
panied by President Taft and his
party. But the crowd had waited pa
