NEW PRESIDENT
NOW HAS REINS
WARREN GAMALIEL HARD.
ING SUCCEEDS WOODROW
WILSON
TAKES OATH FRIDAY
First Newspaper Man Ever to
BE Elected President of the
United States.v-Coolidge
Vice-President.
TAKES OATH FRIDAY

Washington, March 4.--Thc rcins
OF presidential authority passed from
Woodrow Wilson to Warren G. Har.
ding today in an inaugural ceremony
at, once the simplest and most dra'
fn'stic sof u raacrasion.
The drama centered about the re-
tremcnt Of Woodrow Wilson to pri-
vate life. lnsistent to the last mo-
ment that he would carry out q re-
firing presidents customary part in
the ceremonies, Mr.. Wilson finally
yielded to the pleading of relatives
and to the warning of his physician
that he might endanger his life and
only accompanied his successor to the
capitol.
AS he descended from the White
House portico to enter the waiting
automobile, secret service men placed
his feet on each descending step;
when he left the car to enter the cap
itoI he was practically lifted up a
short flight of steps by an attendant
and, although he walked alone with
the aid of cane to the presidents
room, where he signed bills, he told
Senator Knox, chairman of the con-
gressional inaugural committee, that
he was not equal to participating in
the ceremony of inaugurating Wee
President Coolidge in the Senate
chamber, nor in the ceremony of in
augurating President Harding on the
portico facing the plaza outside.
After few moments at the capitol
Mr.. Wilson went to his private home
to become "plain Woodrow Wilson
now" as he expressed it, and he never
even glanced at the White House as
he passed by on his way.
Before Mr.. Harding had been presi-
dent an hour he had revived preee-
dent set by George Washington by
comforting with the Senate in execu-
tive session, submitting in person the
nominations of his 10 cabinet officers,
all of which Immediately were CON
firmed.
Unlocks White House Gates.
Within an hour he had gone to the
White House to chang up his hat and
90 to work. as he himself often had
said, and unlocked the White House
gates which for four years had been
closed TO the public, The public cele-
brated the event by actually overrun-
ming the grounds and peeping through
the windows to see the new president
in conference with cabinet officers
Mr.. Harding took the oath of Office
lat 1918 p. M, exactly eight years 10
the minute from the time the same
words of obligation were spoken by
Mr., Wilson at his first Inauguration.
The inaugural ceremonies, conforming
to Mr.. Harding's wishes, were kept
free from almost every show of the
pomp and circumstance that usually
surrounded the incoming of a chief
executive. Thousands witnessed the
oath and cheered the old and the new

from an East Side bank. and while
passing through the building on his re-
turn was seized by two men and dragged
into a wash room. The men had no
revolvers, but relied on their fists. They
knocked Leopold down, took the money
and ran out. When Leopold was able
to get up he raised an outcry, but the
men had disappeared.
A request was made yesterday for
$40, 5000 bail in the case of Frank Miller
of II West Eighty-ninth street, who
was arrested Friday when dining at
the Ritz-Carlton. Peter Sabbatino, an
Assistant District Attorney, pleaded for
the large sum, but the amount was
fixed at $500. Counsel for Miller told
Magistrate Harris that Miller was n
member of an old New York family
and there need be no fears that he
would leave town.
Miller was charged with suspicion of
grand larceny on an affidavit signed by
Detective Edward j. Kalbfeisch, who
said he bad been informed that on Oc-
tober . last Miller stole American Ex-
press travellers checks, Liberty bonds
and other securities and an amount of
cash, totalling about $1,000. This in

bound for Trieste, scraped together
enough money yesterday to send wire
less back to New York.
The radio message. somewhat unln-
telligible, either because of static in the
atmosphere or emotion in the breasts of
the senders, announced that the crew
was through. irrevocably through, with
the line. Their wine had given out. A.
J. Bachman. marine superintendent of
Phelps Brothers, agents of the vessel
here, read the message without outward
dismay and then remarked that the line
was through, irrevocably through with
the crew.
They kicked while in port, he said,
because no place was provided to go
swimming save the cold bay, because
newspapers were delivered on board
daily and because the chef and baker
weren't fired for maltreating the grub.
Later when the ship got to sea they
kicked some more, and when she came
back after two days for minor repairs
they kicked even harder. Unable to get
wine here, the agents put on board $50
cases of near beer. but. judging from the
radio, the near beer has just been dis
covered to be the only thing on board
the Zuibona without kick.

Edward Johns, OF Woodbine, who
has been at the Methodist hospital
at Omaha for the last four months,
returned home Friday evening and
was able to walk from the depot to
his home. His is case that has
attracted considerable attention be-
cause of its popularity and very
rare case in surgery. Edward is
now IA years old and about two
years ago he fell from his sled while
coasting, and injured his back.
However. it was some time after the
accident that anything serious SEEM
ed to develop. Finally he was taken
to Omaha, where he was examined
and it was found that he had frae-
tured spine.
He was put into plaster of paris
cast which he wore for four months.
When that was removed he had
braces fitted which he wore for some
time Then an X-ray showed part
OF one vertebre absorbed and the
surgeon took a piece of bone six
inches long out OF his shin and graf
ed 1t into the back bone. After this
operation he had to lie on his stom-
ach for sthree months before he
could even be turned over on his
side. While in the hospital he was
taken before two state clinics of

times to those interested in surgical
