Marching Clubs In Great Parade.
Washington, March 4.-Woodrow
Wilson is president of the United
States. Followed by the presidential
salute OF 10i guns and cheering of the
greatest throng ever gathered in
Washington, he was sworn in today
shortly after noon. The inaugural ad-
dress which followed was one OF the
shortest on record, but the parade was
not. Despite the demand for demo
cratic simplicity, this pageant was one
OF the longest and most imposing that
ever marched in honor OF new oc-
cupant of the White House.
Following his trip from Princeton to
Washington yesterday, accompanied
by 1000 Princeton students, his recep-
tion at the Uuion station by COM
mittee of prominent citizens headed
by Thomas Nelson Page. the author;
his entertainment by members of the
Wilson and kindred families from all
over the land at the Shoreham and the
big reception and smoker given in his
honor by Princeton alumni at the New
Willard, all of which occurred yester-
day, Mr.. Wilson appeared this morn
ing at the Shcreham, apparently none
the worse for that crowded day, to
ice the supreme event and triumph OF
his life.
At about half past 10 Mr.. Wilson
was waited on at the Shoreham by
members of the congressional commit
tee and escorted to the White House,
where he was greeted by President
Taft, and shortly thereafter the presi
dent and president to be entered a
carriage for the trip to the capitol,
Mr.. Taft seated upon the right hand
and Mr.. Wilson on the left. The presi-
dent-elect had as guard of honor the
Essex troop of Newark, N. J.
Marshall Also Had Escort.
Vice President Marshall, who had
also been escorted from the Shoreham
to the White House, followed in an
other carriage. Because of the vacan-

he rode with members of the commit
tee, the event being sad reminder TO
many Of the death of Vice President
Sherman. Mr.. Marshall's guard OF
honor was the Culver Black Horse
troop of Indiana. This is the first
time a vice president has had such a
guard in an inaugural ceremony, and
the innovation is understood to have
been due to the personal request of
President Wilson. Mrs Wilson and
Mrs. Marshall did not ride in the in
augural procession, but the first lady
of the land and her three charming
daughters and the wife of the vice
president were escorted to the capitol
by special military aid.
Arrived at the capitol building
President Taft and Mr.. Wilson pro-
ceeded at once to the presidents room,
where Mr. Taft busted himself during
the brief remainder of his term by
signing bills passed in the last hours
of congress. Mr.. Marshall repaired to
the vice presidents room to await the
moment of taking the oath of office.
Meanwhile the senate chamber pre-
sented an animated scene. for today
it held not only the members of the
highest legislative body in the land,
but the supreme court of the United
States, the diplomatic corps, members
of the house of representatives, dis
tinguished officials Of the government
and a gallery brilliant with the pres
ence of the beauty and distinction Of
the land.
An Imposing Procession.
