PRESIDENT SWORN IN.
Wilson Take The Oath in the Capt.
tol with Only His Wife and Cabi-
net as Witnesses.

! The second term of Woodrow vii
son began at noon yesterday --or
rather, to be absolutely exact, it be
gan at 1904 p. m., when in the pres
ence only of Mrs. Wilson and mem
bers Of the Cabinet ,and before Ed
ward Douglas White, Chief Justice
of the United States, he repeated thu
solemn inaugural ouIn, and bending
over the little black Bible held out tt
him by the aged jurist, pressed his
lips to it's open pages.
"The Lord is my refuge, very
present help in time of trouble" were
the sacred words upon which the kiss
was printed, The passage had been
selected by the President himself.
Early yesterday morning President
Wilson, accompanied by his wife and
the augmented guard of Secret Ser
vice operatives, motored through a
binding rain to the Capitol. He re-
paired at once TO the Presidents room
where, from time to time, Senators
of both parties visited him.
Mrs. Wilson, a sad smile on her
exquisitely chiseled face, and wearing
deep mourning, sat in the window
recess, from time to time engaging
for a moment in the conversation. Her
sister, Mrs. M. II. Maury, OF Roam
oke, Va, died less than week ago
and the bereavement cast a shadow
over the inaugural ceremonies and
embittering what to an American wo-
man is the triumph of triumphs.
Among the first to congratulate
the President after the Cabinet mem
bers had had their say was Senator
Knute Nelson, of Minnesota.
Congratulations, Mr.. President"
said the sturdy old war horse OF Re-
publicanism, as he grasped the hand
of the Chief Executive, 81, want to
tell YOU that am with you, and that
l stand with you in this emergency
in anything and everything you do"
The President beamed on the ven
erable Norseman.
Secretary Tumulty wished "the
Governor" another four years of sue
cess and then the little group disper-
sed. Before 1890 ne was back at the
White House and the new admlnlstra-
ton of Wilson had begun.
