SENATE CRlTlZES
 TAMPICO POLICY

Washington, April 29-Criticisn of the navy departments withdrawal of the warships from Tampice was voiced in the Senate today. Senator Fall, or New Mexico, presented telegrams from refugees at Galveston describing con ditions at Tampico. An effort by Sem ators Reed and Gore to prevent the reading of the telegrams failed.
 The communications stated that the American vice-consul at Tampico mar row1y escaped lynching and declared the state department was withhold ing information as to the situation there. The secretary of the navy was vigorously criticised.
 Do I understand, p ask sd Senator Brandegee .sthat American citizens were forced to take refuge on British and French warships while our vessels were nine miles away ?'

Just one hundred and twenty five years ago to-day was the first presidential inauguration in the United States. The cer-
 emony took place on the bal 1cony of Federal Hall in Wall Street, New York, which city was then the federal capital.
 Dawn of the inauguration day was greeted with a salvoof ar
 tillery and practically all of the 1000 inhabitants of New York and many visitors from other cities thronged the streets. The church bells were rung and at noon a troop of horses, two companies of grenadiers and
 Highlanders in kits escorted the president-elect in a coach of state to the scene. of the cere-
 monies. Livingston, chancel- Tor of New York state, admins
 tered the oath of office. Wash .ington's fervent response was met with cheers Long live George Washington, President Of the United States from thousands of threats. From Federal Hall, Washington went to the neighboring St. Paul's church to attend divine ser vices. Artillery roared and bells rang. throughout the af- ternoon and evening. At dusk bon-fires and fireworks lighted up the streets and gala balls were held, which continued in
 to the following May day.

THEN. and. ..... NOW

To-day on the steps of the United States Sub Treasury building, the exact spot where Washington stood when he took the oath of office, stands his bronze statue, whose legs have been worn shiny by the urchins of Wall street who have tried to climb up to touch the bronze hand of the father of the coun- try. The point to-day is called the monetary nerve center of the country. The trees which shaded the narrow thorough fare in Washington's day have all gone, and all about are buildings whose stony monot- ony towers several hundred feet above the scene. The land where Washington stood sold at S2.75 a square foot at that time; to-day it is valued at $500 a square foot, and is one of the most valuable tracts in the world. The buildings about it are said to represent a real val ue of S3OO, 100000 and in their vaults there ordinarily reposes about a sixth of all the money in the United States.
 A stones throw away, St. PauI's church stands with it's back to Broadway preserved just as it was when Washing ton knelt there for his first prayer as President of the. United States.
