Inauguration of TWenty-Seventh
President Is Witnessed by
Great Crowds.
MARSHALL SWORN IN FIRST
Simple Ceremony In Senate Chamber
Followed by More Impressive
Affair on East Portico os
the Capitol.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington, March Am the pres
ence of a vast throng Of his fellow citi-
zens, Woodrow Wilson today stood in
and took the oath of president of the
United States. Thomas r. Marshall
already had been sworn in as vice.
president, and with the completion of
the ceremony the ship of state was
manned by the Democratic party,
which had been ashore for sixteen
years.
AS the new chief executive of the
nation stood with barred head, Ed
ward Douglass White, chief justice of
the Supreme court, held before him
the Bible always used in the cere-
mony. Mr.. Wilson placed his hands
upon the book and in voice strong,
though somewhat affected by emotion,
swore to support the Constitution and
the laws of the country and to perform
the duties of his high office to the best
of his ability.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people in the senate chamber, where
for four years 1t will be his duty to
preside over the deliberations Of the
members of the upper house Of con-
gress.
Severely Simple Ceremonies.
Both of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in a severely simple but
most impressive manner. The sur
roundings of the scene of the presi-
dents induction into Office, however,
were not so simple, for it was an out
of-door event and the great gathering
of military, naval and uniformed civil
organizations gave much more than a
touch of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vice-president of the United States,
there were gathered about 1000
people, all that the upper house will
contain without the risk of danger
because of the rush and press of the
multitudes. 1t is probable that no.
where else in the United States at
any time are there gathered an equal
number of men and women whose
names are SO widely known. The

prominent for their services in Amer.
lea, and in part of foreigners who
have secured places for their names
in the current history of the world s
doings.
The arrangements of the ceremonies
for the Inauguration of Woodrow Will

The Inauguration of Jefferson, which
marked the defeat of the Federal.st
party of Hamilton, Washington,
Adams and Jay, was the first to take
place in Washington. The newly es-
tablished national capital, then but
a few months old, contained only 5000
inhabitants, many of them negroes:
the houses were mostly huts and the
streets muddy roads. The big event
was thus described in the Philadelphia
Aurora of March IL; 1901:

there is Democratic testimony to the
fact that the Republican senators

Ride to the Capitol.
President Taft and President-elect
Wilson rode together from the White
House to the capitol, accompanied by
two members Of the congressional
committee of arrangements. The vice.
president-elect also rode from the
White House to the capitol and In the
carriage with him were the senate's

the masses were too hilarious to heed
the request. The weather was pleas
ant and the east front of the capitol
was used for the first time for the in
auguration. In front of it surged
10000 persons who were restrained
only by a great iron chain. Jackson
rode to the capitol on a white horse
and went through the ceremonies with
dignity, and started back to the White
House. Then began his troubles, for
the people broke loose with a ven
geance.

be distributed" wrote a contempo-
rary, Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith. In
their mad rush the crowds smashed
furniture and dishes and seized the
food as If they were starving. "The
confusion became more and more al
palling. At one moment the pres-
dent, who had retreated until he was
pressed against the wall of the apart
ment, could only be secured against
serious danger by number of gen.

themselves into barrier. 1t was

Too Much for Harrison.
| For IL years the Democrats con-

Henry Harrison, who was inaugurated
March 4. 1871. BY this time trans
portation was made easier by the
building Of railways and the crowd
that fiocked to Washington was i'm

than that which "honored" Jackson,
but 1t was hungry for offices.
Cold, wintry blasts swept the streets
of Washington that March day, and

feeble, rode his white horse without

edly long, and so was the inaugural
address, and then the president led
the procession back to the White
House. The exposure was too much for
him and within one month he was
dead.
When Lincoln Took Hold.
Immensely dramatic was the first
Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in
1861. From the day of his election
threats against his life were numer-

foiled an organized plot to assassinate
him on his way to Washington. The
big bodies of troops that had been
employed at former inaugurations
merely to add pomp to the occasion
now were used for the protection of
the president.
The day had opened cloudy, chilly
and dismal, but as the president step

that they once held membership In

and all the minor officials of govern

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 Su-
preme court, both houses of congress,
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-
dentelect 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 ilanked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accommoda-
tion of the friends ana 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 great outburst of ap-
plause, and the military bands struck
quickly into "The Star Spanglod Ban

were played and then soldiers and ci-

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, Iow 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

The fact that Bocout and Moina the murderers of little Zolla at Guira de Meena in 1905, were executed in the garrote has apparently served no pur- pose.
 From the investigations and the charges made by JimeneZ against Baro, Martinez and Armas, it appears that in the present ease a Woman who is held

LEWEs-HARBoR OF REFUGE.
Government Plans to Provide for a
 Whole Fleet There

With the growth of commerce on the
 Delaware and up and down the coast. LeWes is destined to become one of the greatest harbOrs Of refuge in the world. A step in that direction is being taken now by the federal government which already has spent many millions of dol lars at that point on the coast. It has
 been decided to make the harbor safer
 The question under discussion is how It shall be done. One suggestion is that the existing breakwater be length encd. Another is that q new break water be built from the shore north of LeWes and that as it proceeds outward It shall curve toward the outer end of the existing breakwater, thereby creat- ing stonelOcked harbor except for the entrance needed for the passing in and out of ships.

No doubt his own ability as an enslneer and the information he re- celFes from the seafaring men who live in LeWes and who use the harbor will enable him to reach a wise decision in the matter
 AS a harbor of refuge Lewes never mas been all that it should be Many Wrecks have ocurred at and near there that would have been averted if the en- glneers had had at their disposel all the money needed to make it absolute " safe Much has been done, however. ana great loss of life and property has been prevented by the breakwater. such as It IS Local sentiment seems to fav- or the building of another breakvater and Col Kuhn seems to agree with ii.

 MAKE CHANGES
Following Alumni Game of Saturday Afternoon High School Team Is Due for Several Severe Shake ups.

| Following the game of Saturday on 1 the local grid, there Were several and i severe shake-ups in the lineup of | the Coyotes on the field this after | noon, and the team was fortified in strength considerably. In all the game 1 with alumni was but a training and l 3 testing game-to train the Coyotes 1 in the head and foot work on the grid and to test tht material thus giving Coach Geary a line on the class of stuff he has in the young sters. And as such a game it was
 a wholly successful one.
 Changes were made in the line
 Some of the old men in their posi-
 ttcns were shifted. Some were kept
 on the line and others were put to
 the baClfield. There will be a general

 get down under punts and who can
 spill the interference of the opposing

 showed that the High is extremely
 weak in this one point. Peterson and
 Betts will be tried in these positions
 for a time and Thoman may be run
 ill at end on a chance of his speed doing something in getting down
 where the ball is being received.
 In the backfield, Thoman, who was at quarter against the alumni. will
 be replaced for a time by Harrison
 who will be taught to kick and will be coached continually this week in the lite tricks and artifices of the game prior to the meet with the Prescott High here next Saturday Thoman will go to either end or to one of the line positions Other h9 vii an cut with the hope of developing a little more speed and head work, and it is hoped that the men in the back field will be in such shape by Sat urday that they will be able to run Interference in unison and with surety
 When the Coyotes go up against the Prescott bunch they attempt the almost impossible. as it is recognized that the fellows from the mountains are al the least good and fast foot ballists and that they are well trained and coached.
