Governor Rides Thoroughbred.

Il attribute this demonstration,
however, more to the fact that Gen.
O'Meara had concocted a plan where
by. we would be easily identified,
while nearly every other state had
made no provision other than a state
flag to signify who they were.
'Gen. O'Meara drew up kind of
pennant made of the most flimsy
cloth and had Missouri written
across its entire length of nearly
eight feet. The pennant was carried
by an orderly at the head of the Mis-
souri, party and could be seen by the
several hundred thousands of visitors
who lined the route of the parade"
Gov. Major rode a handsome, high
stepping Virginia thoroughbred black
mare. The Governor said that it
was the first time he had been on a
horse in several years.
'But," he added, "you know am,
or was, an expert horseman. have
ridden and broken lots of bronchos
in the West and love to ride. l ex-
pect will be little stiff tomorrow,
but the sights along the line of march
were worth it.
Speaking of President Wilson and
the outlook for his administration for
the next four years, the Missouri
Governor said no President in his
lifetime ever had been ushered into
office under more auspicious circum-
stances. He said that he looked for
progress both, in politics and in busi-
ness for many years to come"

Taft, An Official Since Fl Retires

Washington, D. c., March A.
William H. Taft, public servant since
he was 81 years old, said his farewell
to public life today and became a cit
izen of the Republic that he has
served over the seas and throughout
the world for so many years that he
has almost forgotten when he en-
listed.
His good bye was a smile, hand
shake for the members of his Cabi-
net, courtly bow to the women
friends who braved the Inauguration
discomforts to bid him and Mrs. Taft
God speed in the Union Station, q
wave of the hand and another smile
for the people who stood in the train
shed and watched his train pull slow
ly out for the South.
The last that Washington saw of
the twenty-seventh President was
the dim outline of a big, smiling
figure in frock coat, with hair a
little awry, standing on the rear plat
form of private car as it was swal-
lowed in the curling smoke of the tun-
mel that leads under the city to Dixie.

U. S. Troops, Fired Upon. Kill Four

! U. S. Troops, Fired Upon, Kill Foul
and Repulse Mexicans.
Douglas, Ariz, March 3.-Neithel
American troopers nor Mexicans
crossed the boundary line in the bat
tie yesterday five miles from here,
where two troops of-the Ninth United
States cavalry fought a thirty-minute
battle with the Mexican regulars yes
terday. More than 1000 shots were
fired bNtlfe' American troopers and
it is estimated that fully as many
were fired by the Mexicans. None
of the Americans were hit, but four
of the Mexicans were killed and a
number wounded.
Colonel Gilfoyle, commanding the
Ninth cavalry, today sent a detailed
report of the skirmish to the war de-
partment at Washington.
"All have to say is that my re-
port went to Washington this
morning and substantially agrees
with yours, said Colonel Gilfoyle to-
day to the Associated Press.
General Ojeda, commander of the
Mexican federal troops at Aqua
Prieta, said:
All there is to the affair is that
fifteen Maderistas tried to cross the
line yesterday morning at o'clock,
when the negro troops tried to arrest
them. They fired and the negros
fled. At 7:3O a. m. started $50 fed
erals to Naco. The road they had to
travel goes close to the border line.
When they reached the place where
the shots were fired in the morning,
the negro troops opened fire on them.
My men retreated a short distance
add returned the fire as long as the
negroes fired. My troops did not

Washington, D. c., March 4.-Gov.
Elliott w. Major and his "Colonels'
were given continual ovations during
their march in the inaugural parade.
Long before the pageant was started
the Governor and his staff were es-
corted from the Raleigh Hotel to the
rendezvous near the Capitol, whence
they were to "fall in line.''
Entering Pennsylvania avenue at
Twelfth street, they rode to the Capt.
tol and, or the way, received the first
preof of Missouri's popularity so far
from home. ....
'.Hurrah for Major!" and ''Hurrah
for the Show-Me-State!" echoed and
re-echoed from the crowds which,
though not yet noon, lined both sides
of the street.
1t was nearly 5 O'Clock when the
Governor and his staff reappeared
for the return march in the parade
proper. From the moment he en-
tered the line Of march the Governor
was forced to carry his hat in his
hand inS acknowledgment of the
demonstrations.
As commander of the First Brigade
of the Fourth Division, the Missouri
Governor was officially saluted by
by President Wilson and. personally
recognized by bow and smile.

WaSnlngtOn,- march,
Rhythmic precision characterized the
ceremonies today whereby the Gov
ernment passed from the control o1
the stand-pat Republicanism into the
hands Of progressive Democracy.
The twenty-eighth President of the
United States supplanted the twenty
seventh, Woodrow Wilson succeeded
William Howard Taft, the thirty.
third Inauguration became history
under conditions which, in every re-
spect, augured we'll for the future.
Underneath the Capitol's dome
President Wilson took the oath; in
the Senate chamber Vice President
Marshall assumed his honors, and
downtown, from their reviewing
stand in the Court of Honor, the new
President and Vice President review
ed the gigantic pageant representing
the military and civic life of the ma
tion-all without slip, hitch or seri-
Gus mishap.
Ceremonies Move Perfectly.
The ceremonies in the Senate
chamber involved complex official
procedure, every detail of which
moved with machine-like accurcy.
The Inauguration proper, out in
open beneath the huge dome of the
Capitol, and lastly, the four hours
march of the great parade through a
canon-like course two miles long,
involved dealing with crowds larger
than ever have assembled in Wash
ington before, but no serious acci-
dent occurred. Each of the days
many tableaux faded the one into the
other without the semblance of a jar
ring interruption.
Under the -deme of the nation
Capitol, in the presence of a count
less, cheering concourse of his fel-
low-citizens, the new President raised
hand toward a prophetic sun that
burst through dissolving clouds and
pronounced the occasion a day OF
dedication, not Of triumph.
It was immensely human, prece-
dent-breaking Inauguration, with
members of his chosen Cabinet sur
rounding him, the Justices of the
Supreme Court before him, his wife
and daughters actually dancing for
joy on the platform below, and VIII
liam Howard Taft. former President
Of the nation, at his side. The Presi-
dent shouted a summons to all ''hon-
est, patriotic, forward-looking men,"
to aid him, extending the promise
that he would not fail them in the
guidance Of their Government.
Waves Of Applause Greet Address.
While the Presidents concluding
inaugural words were tossing in tu-
multuous waves Of applause, the
retiring President clasped his hand
and enlisted as . patriotic servant in
the ranks Of private citizenship.
