CEREMONES ARE IMPfRESSIVE New Executive of Nation Takes Oath on East Portico of Capitol After Marshall Escomes Vice President. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington, March 4.-Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey is president of the United States and Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana is vice-president. The instant that the oath-taking cere monies at noon today in front of the capitol weie completed, the Democrat ic party of this country "came into its own" again after an absence of six teen years from the precincts of ex ecutive power. A throng of many thousands of people witnessed the newly elected president's induction into c ice. Nine tenths of the members of the crowd I were enthusiastically joyful, the other -. -s r pres'dent 'Hoodrow Wilson. tenth cheered with them, as becoming good American citizens watehing a governmental change ordered In ac cordance with the law and the Con stitution - The Bible which during each suc cessive four years is kept as one of the treasures of the Supreme court, was the Immediate instrument of the oath taking of Woodrow Wilson. Ed ward Douglass White, chief justice of the United States, held the Book for Mr. Wilson to rest his hands upon while he made solemn covenant to support the Constitution and the lawz pf the United States, and to fulfill the diuties of his office as well and as faithfully as it lay within his power * to do. * Thomas Riley Marshali swore feal ty to the Constitution and to the people in the senate chamber, whcre for four years it will be his duty to preside over the deliberations of the members of the upper house of con gress. Ceremonieks Simple and Impressive. Both of the ceremonies proper were conducted in a severely simple but most impressive manner. The sur roundings of the scene of the presi dent's induction into office, however, were not so simple, for it was an out of-door event and the great gathering of military, naval and uniformed civil organizations gave much more than a touch of splendor to the scene. ' In the senate chamber, where the the oath was taken by the man now vice-president of the United States. there were gathered about 2,000 people, all that the upper house will contain without the risk of danger because of the rush and press of the multitudes. It is probable that no where else in the United States at any time are there gathered an equal number of men and women whose names are so widely known. The gathering in the senate chamber andi later 'on the east portico of the capi tel was composed largely of those prominent for their services in Amer lea, and in part of foreigners who have secured places for their names in the current history of the world's doings. Arrangedi by Congrees. The arrangements of the ceremonies for the inauguration of TWoodrow Wil son and Thomas Riley Marshall were made by the jiit committee on ar-: rangements oLf ogrss. The senate * section of this committee was ruled by a majority of Republicans, but there is Democratic tintimony to the fact that the Republican senators were willing to outdo tjeir Democratie brethren in the wor-k of making or-I derly and impressive the inaugural ceremonies in honor of two chieftains of the opposition.I ~residen~t Tart and President-elect & Wilson~ rode together from the WVhite House' to the capitol, accompan-ied by, *two members of the coagressional committee of arrae';~monts. The vice president-elect :iice rodc from the White Hos to the e:Witol and In the carria;r wilth him were the senate's president pro tempore. Senator Bacon of G~eorgia, and three members or the congressional committee of arrange ments. bar to witness the oath-taking of the vic_-presidelt was by ticket, and it is needless to say every~ seat was occupied. On the floor of the cham ber were many former mem'-crs of the senate who, because of the fact that they once held membe'ship in that body, were given the privileges of the floor. After the hall was filled and all the minor officials of govern ment and those privileged to witness the ceremonies were seated, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson, preced ed by the sergeant-at-arms and the committee of arrangements, entered the senate chamber. They were fol lowed immediately by Vice-President elect Thomas R. Marshall, leaning npon the arm of the president pro tempore of the senate. The president and the president elect sat in the first row of seats di rectly in front and almost under the desk of the presiding officer. In the same row, but to their left, were tho vice-president-elect and two former vice-presidents of the United States, Levi P. Morton of New York and Ad lai.A. Stevenson of Illinois. When the distinguished company en tcred the chamber the senate was still under its old organization. The oath of ollee was immediately admin istered to. Vice-President-elect Mar shall, who thereupon became Vice Pres'dent Marshall. The prayer of the day was given by the chaplain of the senate, Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, pas tor of All Souls' Unitarian church, of which President Taft has been a mem ber. After-the prayer the vice-presi dent administered the oath of office to all the newly chosen senators, and therewith the senate of the United States passed for the first time in years into the control of the Demo cratic party. Procession to East Portico. Immediately after the senate cere monies a procession was formed to march to the platform of the east por tico of the capitol, where Woodrow Wilson was to take the oath. The pro cession included the president and the president-elect, members of the Su preme court, both houses of congress, all -of the foreign ambassadors, all of the heads of the executive depart ments, many -governors of states and territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy and several high officers of the sea service, the chief of staff of the army and many distinguished persons from civil life. They were followed by the members of the press and by those persons who had succeeded In secur ing seats in the senate galleries to yitness the day's proceedings. When President Taft and the presi dent-elect emerged from the capitol on to the portico they saw in front of them, reaching far back into the park to the east, an immense con course of citizens. In the narrow line between the onlookers and the plat form on which Mr. Wilson was to take the oath, were drawn up the cadets of the two greatest government schools, West Point and Annapolis, and flanking them were bodies of reg ulars and of national guardsmen. The hole scene was charged with color and with life. On reaching the platform the presi ent and president-elect took the seats reserved for them, seats which vere flanked by many rows of benches ising tier on- tier for the accommoda ion of the friends and families of the ficers of the govetment and of the ress. - Mr. Wilson Takes the Oath. The instant that Mr-. Taft and Mr. Wilson came within sight of the crowd here was a great. outburst of ap plause, and the military bands struck uickly, into "The Star Spangled Ban er." Only a few bars of the music were played and then soldiers and ci ilans became silent to witness re spectfully the oath. taking and to listen to the address which followed. The chief justice of the Supr-eme :ourt delivered the oath to the presi :ent-elect, who, uttering the words, Chief Justice White. "I will," became president of the United States. As soon as this cere uony was comx-pleted Woodrow Wgilson deiered his inaugural address, his st speechi to hih fellow countrymen i the~ capacity of their chief execu tive. At the concusion of the speech the batds play ed once more, and William H owar"d Ta ft, nocw ex-preident of the 1ar Snz~tates. entered a carriage with tae nev: pre~dm and, reversing the order of an hour before, sat on the left hand side of the carriage, while Mr. WVilson took "The reat of honor" on the right.

AVENUE A GLORIOUS SIGHT General Wood, Grand Marshal-Vet. crane, National Guard and Civil lans In Line-Indians Add Touch of Picturesque. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington, March 4. -Woodrow Wilson, as ex-president of Princeton. rode down Pennsylvania avenue to day, and later rode up the same ave nue as president of the United States, and as the highest officer of govern ment a few minutes thereafter re viewed the multitudes of soldiers and civilians which, with playing bands and flying flags, marched by to give him proper official and personal honor. For several nights Pennsylvania ave nue has been a glory of light. Today It was a glory of color, movement and music. here are 300,000 inhabitants of the city of Washington. Its tem porary population is nearer the half million mark. The absentees from the flanking lines of the parade were most ly the policemen, who were given or ders to protect the temporarily vacat ed residences of the capital, Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer-. sonian simplicity" be observed in all: things which had to do with his in auguration. The command for Jefer sonian simplicity seems to be suscep tible to elastic construction. There was nothing savoring of courts or roy alty, but there was evidence in plenty that the American people love uni-. forms and all kinds of display which can find a place within the limits of democratic definition. It was a .good parade and a great occasion generally. Throngs Vociferous With Joy. The inhibition of the inaugural ball and of the planned public reception at the capitol had no effect as a bar to the attendance at this ceremony of changing presidents. Masses were here to see, and other masses were-here to march. There was a greater demon stration while the procession was pass ing than there was four years ago. Victory had come to a party which had known nothing like victory for a good many years. The joy of posses Escorting the President-Elect to WI sion found expression in steady and abundantly noisy acclaim. President Taft and President-elect Wilson were escorted down the ave nue by the National Guard, troop of cavalry of Esser county, New Jersey. The carriage in which rode Vice President-elect Marshall and Presi dent pro tempore Bacon of the United States senate was surrounded by the members of the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy of Indi ana. This is the first time in the his tory of inaugural ceremonies that a guard of honor has escorted a vice president to the scene of his oath tak mng. Parade a Monster Affair. The military and the civil parade, a huge affair which stretched its length for miles along the Washington streets, formed on the avenues radiat ing from the capitol. After President elect Wilson had become President Wilson and Vice-President-elect Mar shall had become Vice-President Marshall, they went straightway from the capitol to. the White House and thence shortly to the reviewing stand in the park at the mansion's frcnt The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. United States army, as its grand marshal, started from the capi tol grounds to move along the avenue to the White House, where It was to pass in review. The trumpeter sound ed ''forward march" at the instant the signal was fiashed from the White house that in fifteen minutes the new ly elected president and commander in-chief of the armies and navies of the United States would be ready to review "his troops." It was thought that the parade might lack some of the picturesque features whcp patclryappealed to the people en former occasions. There were Indians and rough riders here not only when Roosevelt was inaugu rated, but when he went out of office and was succeeded by William H. Taft. The parade, however, in honor of Mr. Wilson seemed to be pictur esque enough in its features to appeal to the multitudes. They certainly made uoise enough over it. PThe jroces;an w::s in divisions, with General Wood as the grand marshal of the whole affair and hav ing a place'at its head. The display. in the words invariably used on like occasions, was "impressive and bril liant." Regulars in First Division. The regulars of the country's two armed service naturally had the-right' of way. Maj. Gen. W. W. Wother spoon, United States army, was in. command of the first division, in which marched the soldiers and sailors and marines from the posts and the navy yards within a day's ride of Washington. The West Point cadets and the midshipmen from the naval academy at Annapolis, competent be yond other corps in manual and in evolution, the future generals and ad mirals of the army, had place in the first division. All branches of the army service were represented in the body of regu lars-engineers, artillery, cavalry, in fantry and signal corps. The sailors and marines from half a dozen battle ships rolled along smartly in the wake .of their landsmen brethren. The National Guard division follow ed the division of regulars. It was commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills, United States army, who wore the medal of honor giyen him for con spicuous personal gallantry at the bat tle of San Juan hill. General Mills is the chief of the militia division of the United States war department. The entire National Guard of New Jersey was in line, and Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland' Virginia, Georgia, Maine and North Carolina were represented by bQdies of civilian soldiers. Cadets from many of the private and state military schools of the country had a place In the militia division. - Veterans and Civilians. The third division of the parade was composed of Grand Army of the Re public veterans, members of the Union Veteran league and of the Spanish war organizations. Gen. James E. Stuart of Chicago, a veteran of both the Civil and the Spanish wars, was In command. Robert N. Harper, chief marshal of the civic forces, commanded the fourth division. Under his charge were po litical organizations from all parts of the country, among them being Tam many, represented by 2,000 of its braves, and Democratic clubs from Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti more and other cities. They put the American Indians intk the civilian division. The fact-that they were in war paint and feathers helped out in picturesqueness and did nothing to disturb the peace. Mem bers of the United Hunt Clubs of ite House at a Previous Inauguration. America rode in this division. Their pink coats and their high hats ap parently were not thought to far "Jeffersonian simplicity" from its seat. Pink coats were worn on the hunting field in Jefferson's day and in Jefi'erson's state. There were 1,000 Princeton students in the civic section of the porade. Many of them wore orange and Mlack sweaters and they were som.::dhat noisy though perfectly proper. Stu dents from seventeen other colleges and universities were among the marchers. Spectators Cheer Constantly. All along Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol to a point four block be yond the White House, the spectators were massed in lines ten deep. The cheering was coastant and Woodrow Wilson cannot complain that the cere monies attending his induction into office were not accompanied by ap parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo pie over whom he Is to rule for at least four years. Every window in every building on Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc cupied for office- purposes was rented weeks ago for a good round sum of money. Every room overlooking the marching parade was taken by as many spectators as cound find a vant age point from which to peer through the window panes. The roofs of the buildings were covered with persons willing to stand for hours in a M.arch day to see the wonders of the inaugu ral parade, and many of themn partic ularly glad of an opportun~ity to go home and to say that after many years waiting they had seen a Democratic president inaugurated. The parade passed the reviewing stand of President Wilson, who stcod uncovered while th.e marchers saludted. When the last organization had marched by dusk was comning down. The hundreds of thousands of ei-ctric lamps were lighted and Washington at night became along its main thor ou'ghifare as bright as Washington at day. The loss of the attractixn of the inaugural ball was com.msated for by the finest display cofirA.ror'Es, it is
