Evidence Inaugural Ceremonies Today.
Washington, March 3. Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey has come to
Washington to be inaugurated tomor
row the twenty-eighth president of the
United States.
His trip was a triumphal entry, the
Jent-up democratic enthusiasm of six
teen years concentrating seemingly at
the gateway of the nation's capital ar.;l
bursting forth in a joyful acclaim.
In White House fop First Time.
Within less than two hours after his
arrival, Mr. Wilson, for the first tint
e' crssed the threshold of
the V hite House and grasped the hand
of William Howard Taft, president of

Occupy Entire Floor of Hotel.
Before visiting the White House, the
Wilsons received Vice President-elect
and Mrs. Marshall, Governor Sulzer of
New York, Governor Pothier of Rhode
Island and staff and a few personal
friends. First, however, immediately
after their arrival at the hotel, the
president-elect, Mrs. Wilson and their
daughters joined in an informal reun
ion with other members of the family
who have gathered from different
par- 0f the country. An entire floor
of the hotel is occupied by the mem
bers of the family, who dined later in
the evening as the guests of John Wil
son of Franklin, Pa., cousin of the
future president.
Tonight, as an alummis of Princeton
University, the man who is' to guide
the destinies of the nation was tho
honor guest of the alumni of his alma
mater at a. smoker.
Today's Ceremonies.
The city tonight was alive with, en
thusiasm and thousands gayly parad
ed, the electrically emblazoned streets.
Constantly arriving throngs of visit
ors, military organizations and march
ing clubs served to keep excitement
alive- far into the night, the coming
of Tammany Braves from New York,
their first invasion of Washington for
twenty years, - marking the climax of
the pre-inaugural demonstrations.
Fresident-elect Wilson has reserved a
few minutes tomorrow in which to

and vice president reach the reviewing
stand, about 2 o'clock. By 5 o'clock
the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson
Will have been history.
Students Stand with Bared Heads.
President-eject Wilson's arrival in
SHoehington was quite similar to his
aeparture from Princeton. Students
of Princeton university formed in a
Barrow lane stretching from the train
steps to the president's room in the
Union station.
There was deep silence as the president-elect,
followed by members of
his family walked through the avenue
formed by the students. The latter
stood with the'ir hats off. Mr. Wilson
STso doffed his silk hat. Walking with
him were William Corcoran Eustis,
chairman of the inaugural committee,
Jid Thomas Nelson Page, chaicjrfan of
the Wilson reception committee.
Persistent Cheering by Students..
In the president's room Mr. Wilson
was Introduced to the fifty members
of the reception committee while the
students grouped themselves on the
esplanade just outside the station.
Here, as Mr. Wilson got into a White
House automobile, cheer after cheer
came from the Princeton students.
First theygave the "locomotive" cheer
w-ith its "Sis-Boom-Ah" for "Wilson,"
and then for "Princeton." They alter
nated this with a thundering roar un
til the president-elect started away.
Colonel Spencer C. Cosby, chief aide
to President Taft, and a naval and
a military aid, accompanied Mr. Wil
son from the White House to his ho
tel. There were cheers along the way
as pedestrians recognized the party.
Captain "Bill" McDonald Greeted. '
The first person to greet the president-elect
and Mrs. Wilson on the
steps of the hotel was Captain "Bill"
McDonald, the aged Texas ranger and
bodyguard to Mr. . Wilson during the
recent campaign. -
"How are you?"' exclaimed the pres- -1dent-elect
and Mrs. Wilson at the
ame time as they stepped rapidly
forward and grasped Captain McDon
ald's hands. The captain who it is
frequently said in Texas is filled with
mo much lead from shooting affrays

A Call by the Marshall.
"I'd never a-died happy if I hadn't
been here today" said Captain "Bill"
as he walked arm in arm into the
hotel with Mr. Wilson.
The president-elect found the cor
ridors of the ' hotel crowded with
Princeton alumni wearing orange and
black rosettes. The Wilsons went im
mediately to their suite on the fourth
floor where John W. Wilson a cousin
of the president-elect and a score of
relatives were waiting to receive them.
The president-elect had been in hi3
rooms but a few minutes when Vice
President-elect Marshall and Mrs.
Marshall called to pay their respects.
Home-like Atmosphere on Train.
Mr. Wilson's three and a half hour
trip from Princeton to the national
capital seemed like a moment to him,
he said. He found aboard the train
which the students had provided especially-
for him, every comfort and con
venience. They had invited also some
of the intimate friends of the -Wilson
family, and the latter found them
selves in a home-like . atmosphere all
the way.
Mr. Wilson sat In the rear parlor
car with his family, chatting most of
the time with his friends. Colonel
Thomas H. Birch, personal aide to
Mr. Wilson, as governor of New Jer
sey, appeared for the first time m gold
braid uniform. It was one of the rare
occasions when Mr. Wilson was ac
companied by a uniformed aide and
he was somewhat uneasy over it. When
his chief came Into the smoking com
partment, the colonel rose ceremoni
ously. The White House Baby.
"Don't start that," laughed Mr. Wil
son good naturedly. "I'm nobody yet."
It was a happy family group on the
train. With Mrs. Annie Howe, a sis
ter of the president-elect, who joined
the party at West Philadelphia, came
her daughter, Mrs. Perrin Cothran.
and granddaughter, Josephine. The
Cothran baby Is a favorite with the
president-elect and probably will be
a frequent visitor at the White House.
Little Josephine was the object of
much attention from the family and
when the train stopped at Baltimore
she occupied a conspicuous place at
the window from which vantage point
she struck up an Immediate acquaint
ance with the crowd.
MAKEUP OF THE CABINET.
A Seml-Official Announcement of Its
Personnel.
Washington, March 3. Though
President-elect Wilson will not send
the names of his cabinet to the senate
until tomorrow afternoon, authorita
tive Information as to its personnel
came from members of his official
family when he arrived, today. Wash
ington now accepts the following slate
as constituting the final selections of
the president-elect:
Secretary of State William Jen
nings Bryan of Nebraska.
Secretary of Treasury William G.
McAdoo of New York.
Secretary of War Ltndley M. Gar
rison of New Jersey.
Attorney General James McRey

Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane of California,
Secretary of Agriculture David F.
Houston of Missouri.
Secretary of Commerce Represent
ative William C. Redfield of New
York.
Secretary of Labor Representative
William B. Wilson of Pennsylvania
The selection of Vice Chancellor
Garrison of New Jersey to be secre
tary of war is in line with the idea
the president-elect has always ha-1
that the head of the war department
should be a man of unusual adminis
trative ability. Supervision of tho
island possessions of the unite .1
States, including the Philippines and
the Panama canal zone, will be im
portant factors under the new admin
istration and this burden will fall on
the head of the war department. JPice
Chancellor Garrison is a close friend
of Mr. Wilson and Is regarded as one
of the best men New Jersey has ever
elevated to the bench.
The choosing of David Franklin
Houston, chancellor of Washington
university, St. Louis, Mo., for the port
folio of agriculture, also occasions lit
tle surprise, as Mr. Wilson's intimate
knowledge of agricultural questions
has led him to seek a man familiar
with the processes of advancing sci
entific farming and allied questions in
this country. Mr. Houston was pres
ident of the Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical college for a number of
years. -
For the portfolio of secretary of the
interior, it is said Mr. Wilson has been
Influenced to select a westerner of
legal training. Franklin K. Lane's
experience as interstate commerce
commissioner it is assumed has fitted
him for executive and judicial task:i
involved in administering the public
land policy of the country.

DECLARES THAW
IS STILL INSANE
State Makes Answer to Latest Habeas
Corpus Proceeding.
Albany, N. Y., March 3. Harrv K.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, is
still of unsound mind and his release
from the Matteawan state hospital for
the criminal insane would be danger
ous to the public peace and safety, ac
cording to a sworn affidavit made to
day to Attorney General Carmody by
Dr. Roy L. Leak, acting superintend
ent of the hospital.
The affidavit will be used as the
state's return to the writ of habeas
corpus obtained last Saturday from
Justice Guy of New York, directing
the state to produce Thaw before Jus
tice Glegerich in New-York on Thurs
day and to show cause why Thaw
should not be given his freedom.
At a conference today between the
attorney general. Colonel Joseph F.
Scott, superintendent of state prisons,
and Dr. Leak, it was decided to re
draft the rules and regulations gov
erning the inmates of Matteawan, with
a view to curtailing the privileges
here tofore extended to Thaw. All
rules which might to tend to operate
in favor of Thaw will be abrogated.
Attorney General Carmody again has
retained William T. Jerome, former
district attorney of New York county,
as special counsel to represent the
state in the "new proceedings begun in
behalf of Thaw. Mr. Jerome was al
lowed $10,000 for defending the action
begun by Thaw before Justice Keogh
of New Rochelle last year. The ex
penses by the state at that trial, in
cluding Mr. Jerome's fee, totalled $18,
765. A bill to defray these expenses
was reported recently to the senate
by the finance committee.

PRECAUTIONARY STEP
American Commander Seeks to Avoid
Repetition of Skirmish With Mex
icans Details of the Engagement.
Douglas, Ariz., March 3. As a pre
cautionary means of preventing a
repetition of the skirmish Saturday
between Mexican and American troops
General Guilfuyl has nearly the whole
force of the Ninth cavalry on border
patrol duty. He even sent a machine
gun platoon to the international line.
A False Alarm.
There was some firing near the line
late today, caused by an attempt of
the negro troops to intercept what was
supposed to toe a detachment of Mexi
can troops crossing the line. It proved
to be a party of Mexicans gathering
firewood with pack animals. No one
was wounded.
Sunday's Skirmish.
Accoording to the army officers,
Lieutenant Nicholson and his 15 men
were fired upon Sunday without warn
ing by 75 Mexican federals. The pa
trol returned - the fire but in a few
minutes retreated to the Calumet and
Arizona smelter and Bent for rein
forcements. Troops E and F, under Captain Arm
strong, responded with a machine gun
and 120 rounds of ammunition per
man. At sight of the reinforcements
the Mexicans again began firing. Th
troopers replied vigorously and a gen
eral engagement was soon on. The
opposing forces were in skirmish lines
800 yards apart, with the international
line between them. After 30 minutes
the Mexicans retreated beyond the
range of the troopers rifles. The
Americans did not cross the line.
Rebel Messenger Arrested.
An incident which preceded the skir
mish, and which Is believed by some
observers to have some connection
with it, was the arreet by the border
patrol Saturday afternoon of Juan
Castillo as he was trying to cross from
the American side to Apia Prieta with
messages from E. Callos, leader of the
Maderista junta in Douglas, to his
followers in Sonorft. The messages,
were addressed to the commander of
the Maderista force which disarmed
the federal garrison at Fronteras last
week, and demanded the release of two
Maderista officers held captive by the
regulars.
Shots Followed Arrest.
' Castillo is still detained by the au
thorities and the messages are in the
hands of Colonel Gullfoyle.
Soon after the arrest of the rebel
messenger Saturday, a few shots w
fired across the line at a sqiuad of
American troopers.
More Shots Cross Border.

Ensign R. K. Turner ,of the destroyer

today that he had later information
which gave him the greatest fears.
On receipt of this telegraphic In
formation yesterday Ensign Turner
wired representatives In congress that
his brother still is in danger of exe
cution. John Turner published criticisms of
the former Diaz regime, but General
Huerta and Ambassador Wilson have
both ascribed his difficulties to recent
political activity. Ensign Turner con
tradicts them.

SLIPS AWAY WITHOUT NOTIFY
ING POLICE.
HER CASE PUZZUNG
Police Still Working on Footpad The
ory, But Admit Themselves Unable
to Make Much Headway.
Chicago, March 3. Mrs. Mabel Mills,
wife of a real estate dealer of San
Antonio, Texas, whose mysterious loss
of more than $40,000 presumably either
by robbery or accident Saturday night,
stirred the police of jffivanston, a sub
urb, to an extended investigation of
the circumstances, today left the hos
pital to which she had been taken when
found dazed nd injured and her pres-
ent whereabouts is as much of a mys
tery as that of the large sum of money
which so strangely disappeared.
" May Have Gone to St. Louis.
Airs. Mills left early in the after
noon without giving the police notice
although she had promised Chief Shaf
fer she would communicate with him
when she decided to depart. The chief
did not learn that she had left until
nightfall, when he telephoned to in
quire about her condition. He was
then told she had been gone several
hours. The belief at present is that
Mrs. Mills left Chicago tonight for St.
Louis, where she had previously told
the police she had some business to
transact. -
Police More Puzzled Than Ever.
Searching the ground where Mrs.
Mills says she struggled for more than
an hour and a half in the snow and
under porches where it was hoped the
money, all in $1,000 bills, might have
been blown by the gale, the police af
ter interviewing the woman at a hos
pital, announced they had discovered
these facts, which they said only puz
zled them.
Could Not Have Been Unconscious.
Mrs. Mills says -she became con
scious only when she was being picked
up on the porch of Mrs. A. J. Cooper
to which sho had crawled, whereas
Chief of Police Shaffer of Evanston
said he had good authority for stat
ing that the bruise on the back of
the woman's Tiead was not sufficient to
have ' rendered her unconscious and
the physicians at the hospital said Mrs.
Mills could not have lost consciousness
from any other cause.
Indifferent About Loss of Money.
The envelope' in whicli Mrs. Mills
said she carried the money on the
street and which vras found empty had
not been- sealed, although it was one
of the regular safety deposit envelopes
taken from a hotel where ehe had been
stopping and whet'e the clerk said he
had seen the money sealed.
Mrs. Mills told the police she was
Indifferent about the loss of the money
and said she wanted to leave the city.
She announced she might be in St.
Louls by tomorrow. After going thor
oughly Into the case Chief Shaffer said
he had no basis upon which, to make
any arrests.
Police Chief Skeptical.
"I told Mrs. Mills that being a prac
tical business woman accustomed to
handle large sums of money, as she
said she had in her real estate deal
ings in San Antonio, It appeared to
me unusual that she should have ven
tured to walk along a dark suburban
street with $41,000 In cash in her pock,
etbook," said Chief Shaffer. "She only
repeated her previous story that she
had been to dinner at the home of
Mrs. Stevens, a friend, that she was
on her way to a railway station ,when,
discovering ,she had left her ticket
and some money at Mrs. Stevens',
she returned to get what she had left
It was . on her way back that she said
she lost the money. The woman does
not insist she was robbed. She says
she became unconscious and when re
vived the money was gone.
Lapse of Time Unaccounted For.
"In the face of the circumstances,
I was told at the hospital that the
blow on the woman's head, whether
from a fall or from a fist, was not
severe enough to have more than
stunned her. A curious thing la that
one hour and thirty minutes elapsed
between the time she started to walk
back to Mrs. Stevens' and the time
she was found on Mrs. Cooper's porch
a block away from Mrs. Stevens' home.
"In an envelope which Mrs. Mills
left at Mrs. Stevens', home and for
which she was returning I found
$1,950. The envelope was sealed and
was marked 'R. O. Ball, San Antonio,
Texas. Do not open until Wednes
day.' That opened up another line of
inquiry.
Still Working on Footpad Theory.
"Mrs. Mills said she was going to
St. Louis and then to Kansas City and
she intended to send the money to
Mr. Ball, her banker, from Kansas
City. Why she instructed that the en
velope should not be opened until
Wednesday was not clearly explained,
for if she sent the envelope from Kan
sas City it would not have reached
San Antonio before Wednesday un
less she meant Wednesday of next
week. She said she had set aside
that much money to pay a bill."
In spite of the puzzling features of
the case. Chief Shaffer said he was
continuing to work on the theory that
footpads saw Mrs. Mills handle the
money on an elevated train and fol
lowing her, knocked her down when
she walked up a dark street.
INDIANS EXPRESS
DESIRE TO PARADE.
Feel That They Have a Right in In
augural Procession.
Washington, March 8 Representa
tives of eleven tribes of Indians as
sembled In council today in the office
of Acting Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs Abbott and solemnly expressed
their conviction that they were en
titled to take active part In the In
auguration of a president of the
United States. They based this decla
ration on the fact that they had sign
ed a "declaration of allegiance to the
government of the United States" im
mediately after tp.e ceremonies in New
York harbor' ten days ago which

ROWDIES JEER AND INSULT WOEf
Uncontrollable Mobs . Split Op' Suffrage Procession
and Cavalry is Called Out
THE PARADERS FORCED TO FIGHT THEIR WAY
Many Women in Tears and MUs Helen Keller Completely Un
nervedPolice Make Poor Showing Against Hoodlums
But Cavalry Forces Path For Marchers Mrs. Taft and
Miss Taft Leave Stand Disgusted Police Denounced.
Washington, March 3. Five thou
sand women, marching in the woman
suffrage pageant today, practically
fought their way foot by foot up
Pennsylvania avenue through a surg
ing mob that completely defied the
Washington police, swamped the
marchers and broke their procession
into little companies. The women
-trudging stoutly along under great
difficulties were able to complete their
march only when troops of cavalry
fram Fort Myer were rushed into
Washington to take charge of Penn
sylvania avenue. No inauguration has
ever produced such scenes, which ir
many Instances amounted to nothing
less than riots.
. Washington Police Denounced.
Later in Continental hall the women
turned what was to have been a suf
frage demonstration into an indigna
tion meeting in which the Washingtoi
police were roundly denounced i.T
their inactivity and resolutions v.-r
passed calling upon President-ei-ny
Wilson and the incoming congress 1

responsibility for the indignities tn
marchers suffered. Miss Helen KeL Pi
th e noted deaf and blind girl, was : -exhausted
and unnerved by the n
perience in attempting to reach
grandstand where she was to l -.'
been a guest of honor that she w:i
unable to speak later at Continents
hall. .
Jeered and Insulted by Mobs.
The scenes which attended the en
try of "General" Rosalie Jones and
her "hikers" on Thursday, when the
bedraggled women had to fight their
way up Pennsylvania avenue swamped
by a mob with which a few police
men struggled in vain, were repeated
today, but upon a vastly larger scale.
The marchers had to fight their way
from the start, and took more than an
hour in makmg the .first ten block?.
Manv of the women were in tears un
der the jibes and insults of the mob
that lined the route.
No Efforts to Control Crowds.
Although stout wire ropes had been
stretched up and down the length of
Pennsylvania "avenue from the Peace
monument to the Mall behind the
White House, the enormous crowds
that gathered early to gain points of
vantage overstepped them or crowded
beneath. Apparently no effort wp.s
made to drive back the trespassers in
.the early hours, with the result that
when the parade started it faced at
almost every hundred yards a solid
wall of humanity. ,
Pluckily Resent Insults, j
On the whole. It was a hostile crowd
through which the women marched.
Miss Inez Mulholland, herald of the
procession, distinguifihed herself by
aiding in riding down a mob that
blocked the way and threatened to
disrupt the parade. Another woman
member of the petticoat cavalry struck
a hoodlum a stinging blow across the
face with her riding crop in. reply to a
scurrilous remark as she was passing.
The mounted police rode hither and
yon, but seemed powerless to stem the
tide of humanity.
Mrs. Taft Disgusted.
A group of hoodlums gathered in
front of the reviewing stand, in which
sat Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft and
a half dozen invited puests from the
White House. They kept up a running
fire of caustic comment. Apparently
no effort was made to remove them
and, evidently disgusted, the Whites
House party left before the procession
had paassed in its halting and inter-

Senator Criticises Policy of Patrolling
Mexican Border.
Washington, March 8 An attack
on the policy pursued by the United
States in patrolling the Mexican
border during the Mexican revolutions
was made in the senate today by Sen
ator Fall of New Mexico, a member
of the special investigating committee
that has conducted a recent investiga
tion into border conditions.
Senator Fall declared that the com
mittee in its investigation along the
border from San Diego, Calif., to ifew
Orleans had come in contact frequent
ly with cases where the armed forces
of the United States had been used to
arrest American citizens on American
soil.
"The American troops have been
used to oppress American citizens in
their own country," said Senator Fall,
"Instead of being used to protect them
they were being robbed and murdered
on this side of the border line. Ameri
cans have been thrown into prison
and deprived of life and liberty.
"This is not a single instance, but a
condition that has been general along
tho border for over a year."
Senator Fall reviewed in some de
tail the testimony taken by the special
committe of which Senator Smith of
Michigan, was chairman. He said that
scores of witnesses resident in Mexi
co testified Mo the fact that they had
been attacked simply because of their
American citizenship.
The United States, he said .extend
ed no protection to these people.
"We would be much . more justified
In sending troops into Mexico than wo
were in sending marines into Nica
ragua," he declared.
Decision Against Lumber Trust.

Presentation of Tableaux.

columns and the broad stairway of thu
government treasury house, ivcfe bo
gun when tho parade started ivim lis
rendezvous at the base of the capital.
Beautiful In coloring and grouping, the
dramatic symbolization of women's as
pirations for political freedom was
completed long before the head of tha
parade was in sight. In their thia
dresses and bare arms, the perform
ers waited, shivering, for more than
an hour, until Anally they were forced
to seek refuge within the big build
ing. Cavalry Greeted with Applause by Lav
Abiding.
Around the treasury department th
crowds were seemingly Immovable. It
was as though the bluecoatg charged
a stone wall. Occasionally the mob
gave way in one place, only to break
ever and under the wire hedge at some
other.
When the cavalry suddenly appeared
;here was a wild outburst of applaun
in the reviewing stand. The men in
.Town virtually brushed asid th
n ounted -nd foot police and took
charge.
Troopers Charge Upon Mobs.
In two lines the troop charged tho
crowds. Evidently realizing they would
be ridden down the mobs fought their
way back. When they hesitated, the
cavalrymen, under the orders of their
officers, did not hesitate. Their hore
were driven Into the throngs and
whirled and wheeled until hooting men
and women were forced to retreat. A
space was quickly cleared.
The parade In itself. In s-pite of the
delay, was a great success. Pass1njr
through two walls of antagonistic hu
manity, the marchers for the raott part
kept their temper. They suffered in
sult and closed their ears to Jibes and
jeers.
Resolution to WtlsoA,
The greatest ovation probablr tmM
given to "General" Rosalie Jone. who
led her little band of "hikers" from
New York over rough roads and

of her hooded tramping gown.
When tne women assembled in Coin

called on him to demand of congress
a thorough investigation of the causes
for tho "poor police protection which
would have been a dls'frace to any
city, hut which was doubly so here,"
with a further demand that the re
sponsible authorities be punished for
their indifference and negligence.
Dr. Shaw Ashamed of Washington.
The opening address by Xr. Anns'
Shaw, president of the National Amer
ican. Woman's Suffrage association
was a .hitter excoriation of the police.
"Never was I so ashamed cf our
national ea.pital before," she sail. "Tf
anything could prove the need of tho
-ballot nothing could prove it moro
than the treatment we received today.
The women In the parade showed won
derful dignity and self respect by keep
ing cool in the midst of insult and
lewd remarks. Hoodlums were given
possession of the streets here today
without any adequate attempt being
made to protect us."
