He LEAVES HOME
Woodrow Wilson Given Noisy
Goodbye at Princeton.
OFF From College Town to Seats
of the Mighty.

Princeton, March 3.-The longest
special that has ever rolled out of
Princeton carried Mr.. Wilson and his
+ family and their escort away. AS It
pulled out the president-elec stood on
the platform. Silk hat in hand, he
looked down on a mass of fluttering
handkerchiefs and banners. The smile
on his lips vanished as the train gain
ed headway, his lips were moving, the
crowd at his feet heard him join in
the singing of the college anthem:
Persons shall give, while they live,
Three cheers for old Nassau
Long before the hour set for Mr..
Wilson'S departure the students were
trooping from the campus through
Blair arch to the station. They gath
cred nearly a thousand strong those
departing and those remaining around
the long line of steel cars. The towns
men were there in greater numbers.
Three automobiles carried the presi-
dent-elect and party from their home
to the station. Mr.. Wilson was wear
ing his new silk hat, purchased espec-
tally for the inauguration and his
glasses. He stood for the photograph
ers before he was whisked away The
bright sunshine took away none of the
sting of the breeze, and the president
elect buttoned his black overcoat tight
ly about him. A great cheer went up
when the cars reached the station AL
most before Mr.. Wilson had gained the
stretched to grasp his. Before he had
taken two steps the town of Prince
ton was filing by wishing him god
speed and all manner of good luck.
This kept up until his arm was tired.
AS the president-elect stepped aboard
the train. the students gave him a
locomotive" yell. That was the be-
ginning of a. long series of yelIs The
president-elect smiled at each cheer
and said that he wished he could give
as good a cheer in return and Joined in
some of the college songs.
After thirty minutes handshaking
and singing leather lunged Princeton

heavy train began putting, the long line

hundred voices Joined in "Old Mas

Off came the silk hat from the presi-
1ent-eIect's head; he stepped near the
edge of the platform and thrust his
hand far out, waving his hat as he
sang.
After he had passed from the gaze of
the crowd they still saw his right hand,
protruding from the side of the train
and grasping his new silk hat with it's
white lining glistening in the sunlight.

Wilson let it be known that he con-
sidered this quite sufficient

Yet to Be Announced.

Washington, March 3.-Franklin K.
Lane, of California. chairman of the in
terstate commerce commission, has ac-
cepted the post of secretary of the in
terror. Though Chairman Lane himself
today refused to affirm or deny the re-
port of his selection leaders in congress
close to President-elect Wilson declare
positively that Mr.. Lanes formal ac-
ceptance of the portfolio has been sent
to MIR. Wilson. Chairman Lane now is
serving his second term as : member
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. Prior to his designation to the
commission he was a Democratic polit-
ical leader in California He was
Democratic candidate for governor, be-
ing defeated by a narrow margin. Sub
sequently he was the Democrat caucus
candidate for United States senator.
David Franklin Houston, chancel-
lor of Washington university at st.
Louis, was brought out today by con-
gressional cabinet makers as fitting the
description of the new secretary of ag-
riculture which has been SAID to De

city, which is west of the Mississippi
river"

Justice Charles Grant Garrison of

and Franklin K. Lane of California, at
present member of the interstate
commerce commission, will be secre-
tary of the interior, according to un-
questionable authority. This was not
obtained from Wilson but an intimate
friend, who is aboard the Wilson train
for a part of the journey. The same
source of information gave the re-
mainder of the cabinet slate as follows:
Secretary of state-W1lllam j.

Secretary of the treasury-William
G. McAdoo of New York.
Attorney general-James Mercy

Secretary of commerce-William c.

Secretary of labor-William B. Wilson
of Pennsylvania.
Postmaster general-Albert Burleson

This leaves but one post-secretary
of agriculture about which authorita-
tive information is lacking. This will
go to a college professor.

of Worrying.

penalty of his escape.
Winn was sent to the penitentiary
about ten years ago from a western
Kansas county, the sentence imposed
being fifteen years. With allowances
for good behavior he would have been
discharged from the institution in
about year. Under the rules of the
prison, however, Winn will be forced
to serve an additional four years.

trusty errand for the penitentiary of
ficials he fell in with some companions
and the party became intoxicated.

states, he was down in the northern
part of Oklahoma. His mother lives
in Ponca City, Okla, and he proceed
ed to her home. After talking the
case over with his parent, Winn de-
clares he decided to return and take
the penalty for his conduct.

was sent to the penitentiary and up
to the time of his escape had made a
remarkably good record.

Cheering Thousands Greet
Marching ExpOnents.

Washington. March 3.-This was
woman's day of political crowning
glory. Although short of actually pos
sessing the universal right to vote.
several thousand of them turned out
to form great procession in Penn
sylvania avenue to demonstrate the
unanimity of their sex in it's demand
for the ballot. Even before the pro-
cession started enthusiastic thousands
lined the broad avenue. Cheers greet
ed the small detachments and a great
wave of applause marked the progress
of General Rosalie Jones and her
little band of "hikers' as they pro
ceeded to the rendezvous. Men and
women alike Joined in the demonstra-
ton and the human walls that lined
the route of march formed a sea of
tossing handkerchiefs and waving
flags. Precision and businesslil1e meth
DDS marked the carrying out of the
plans for the parade, which was to
form at and around the peace monu-
ment. Trumpeteers, stationed at in
tervals in the distance stretching to
the treasury, were ready to sound the

ment treasury house actors in
tableaux, symbolic of women's tri-
umph stood at attention and ready to
begin a series of dances and alluring
groupings.
Busy Scenes Enacted.
Mrs. Richard Coke Burleson, grand
marshal of the procession was busy
from an early hour today, preparing
for the start. She was assisted by five
aides, all excellent horsewomen, who
rode astride and dashed here and
there giving hurried commands and
bringing order out of chaos. Miss
IneZ Milholland, as the herald whose
trumpet blast was to signal the start,
was dressed in royal purple and
astride a mettlesome charger
Virtually no deviation was made
from the order of march as already
made public. Allegorical floats found
their way into line without a hitch
under the dashing directions of the
mounted aides, delegates were as
signed and the various sections were
placed in their individual positions
A striking feature of the gathering
at the foot of Capitol hill was the
mum Der of elderly women who appear
ed to march for the cause. While the
day was perfect the air was chill and
the way was long Younger women
before the start wearied of the long
wait. but their elders were stofcal.

Woman Suffrage association were Civ

mand of Miss Geneyive Wimsatt.
