STAR EDITIONS GO
TO FAR COUNTRIES
Thousands of Subscriptions
for Inaugural Issues Keep
Office Busy.
Long after the events of yesterday
have taken their place in the long
chronicle of the Nation's history the
contemporary record of them published
in The Star, ■will be preserved and
read.
This, in any case, is indicated by
the thousands of persons who, during
the past week, subscribed for issues of
March 3. 4 and 5.
These patrons told clerks at the sub
scription counter in the lobby of The
Star Building that they wanted the
paper "to keep." They aUo said they
wanted it for kinsfolk and friends in
other sections of the country and
abroad.
Sent to Far Places.
A glance at a file of fllled-in order
forms showed the names of the follow
ing among the addresses to which
copies had been sent: Alaska, Cuba,
Germany. Prance, Belgium, England,
Scotland. Ireland, Holland, Switzer
land. Poland, India. South Africa,
Australia, China, Japan, Turkey, Ecua
dor. Peru. Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Ber
muda. Spain, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, I
Norway. Czechoslovakia, Rumania and !
Sew Zealand.
Many were addressed to rchools. col- ,
leges, universities and libraries. Many j
also went to hospitals. Every class and
all professions were represented in the
list. Teachers spoke especially of the
educational value of the mazazine and
rotogravure features which, taken to
gether, constituted a veritable encyclo
pedia of data on inaugurations from
^Washington's to Roosevelt's.
Extra Clerks on Duty.
One visitor, an elderly woman from
Chicago, said she wished copies sent
to her grandchildren "so they may
read about it when they are older."
A member of Congress declared he de
sired copies because "they are a his
tory of my term." A small boy sub
scribed for his teacher "back home."
The lobby was crowded all through
the week, and extra clerks had to be
brought in to help with the work. An
augmented staff also was needed in
the mailing room to insure immediate
despatch of the papers.
Guy V. Collins of The Star business
Office, said "There has been more pub
lic interest in inauguration news this
year than at any similar time in my
recollection."
FLOODED BY TAX MONEY
Chicago Official Kept Busy Taking
Care of Receipts.
CHICAGO (/P).—So much money has
been flowing into the Cook County
treasurer's office from taxpayers that
officials had to devise an usher system
such as they use in cinema palaces.
At the end of yesterday's business
officials estimated they had taken in
about $2,000,000.
"In spite of unemployment," said
Qeorge Hegenauer, auditor for the
treasurer, "people have found money to
cave their hemes from tax sales."
Prance's National Superior School of
Aeronautics, in Paris, which was opened
by the President of France recently, had
389 applications for the 50 openings for
Students.

Editors' Inaugural Comment
Roosevelt's Declared Purpose of Taking Bold Action
Against Depression Applauded—Better
Times Forecast.
Following is editorial comment by
newspapers in various parts of the
country on President Roosevelt's in
augural address:
Omaha World Herald: "We are en
listed in a war, we Americans. It is a
real war; a war for the preservation of
ourselves, of our country, of our chil
dren's heritage. The call of the Presi
dent of the Nation summons us to his
aid—summons the humblest and weak
est as well as the most powerful. It is
a war that under his fearless leader
ship must be fought by all, for it is
fought for all alike."
Philadelphia Ledger: "President
Roosevelt's inaugural address struck
exactly the note of militant national
leadership which the -country' needs in
these troublous times. While evincing
throughout a full realization of the
gravity of the situation, it is distinctly
reassuring because cf its pledges of
immediate, vigorous measures for deal
ing with the depression. If there was
any doubt that the new President was
prepared to exercise to the utmost the
extensive powers of his office and even
to seek additional grant of authority, if
need be, it has been dissipated by his
ringing declaration of purpose.
"President Roosevelt is pledged to do
his part. If the American people do
theirs, the dawning of a new and
brighter day may not be long delayed."
Buffalo Courier Express (indepen
dent) : "This demand (Roosevelt's) for
action will meet with earnest approval
from the people. It is the one thing
they demand; it is the one thing they
need. Its lack is the chief thing from
which they are now suffering.
"All the leaders in Washington, big
and little, if they are wise, will join
Mr. Roosevelt in achieving it. There
can be forward movement only when
there is unity of mind as well as unity
Df purpose.
"Much that is heartening will be found
n Mr. Roosevelt's brief consideration of
ethical values and their application to
Dhases of business conduct, revelation
)f which has recently so definitely
shocked the country. Some may won
der, though, whether 'the money
"hangers' have really 'fled from their
ligh seats in the temple of our civiliza
tion' and whether there will not be
leed of constant guard against their
return."
Des Moines Register: "Something
ilready has been done toward rebuild
ng the world's economic foundations,
ind much has been accomplished in
>ringing people to a comprehension of
\hat yet must be done.
"Too much emphasis cannot be put
jpon that last necessity. The history
>f the depression, like the history oi
he World War, has been that of an
>riginal unwillir (jness. amounting to a
)hobia, to consic:r doing rnything that
iflected fundamentals. The breaking
joint came, it may well be recorded by
he historians, when the nations of
Europe at Lausanne first accepted a
treat reality and adjusted their policies,
o it. That our own domestic public
las come to recognize the need of
icquiescing in other difficult things—
such as adjustment of debts by orderly
ind fair means, and adjustment of cap
ital values—is clear today and is prom
ising.
"For the present it is the rallying of
he country to renewal of a courageous
md sustained war on the depression
hat counts.
"To that end the hopes and support
)f everybody go to the President of
the United States."
Baltimore Sun: "It is the mood, the
spirit of President Roosevelt's inau
sural address that counts, and the spirit
s good. It is fine. A country of bound
esr. ntatural resources, of matchless
jquipment and of industrious and
:apable people lies prostrate.
"No need now for extensive elabora
;ion of the causes of this incredible
iisaster. The unthinkable, the unbe
ievable, has occurred. And facing that
:ollapse of the people's own system of
Dreduction and distribution, and of the
financial system that serves production
»nd distribution, Mr. Roosevelt says the
people's government under his leader
ship will step into the breach with
measures bold in proportion to the
:alamity. He gives no details in this
first hour of his administration; none
:ould be expected- or asked. What
:ould be expected and asked was a
President with a mind untrammeled by
fear or slavish obedience to old forms
and old conventions, .and with a will
to act. Such a President is revealed
in this address."
Denver Post: "The new deal has
been started but the American people
don't know yet whether the cards
which are being dealt them are aces or
dcuces. and the bankers won't sell them
anv chips. The one reassuring circum
stance 'n this chaotic situation is thp
reve.ailon that the new deal is deter
mined to run the game cn an entirely
different basis than has been used in
the Dast.
"The while Nation should be heart
ened by his pledge to demand dicta
torial powers unless Congress functions.
Clothing him with these powers at the
very beginning would save much time."
Memphis Commercial Appeal: "If
the boldness and courage of President
Roosevelt's Inaugural address is to be
taken as a chart to be followed by the
new administration the hoDe of millions
of Americens wi'l find realization In re
covery and stability. It is a new dec
laration of independence to business
serving notice to all that new Ideals
?nd new systems must prevai'. This
to neit'i r a challenge nor a warning to
b'.iriness leadership; it is an ultlrratum
and cne thst Is needed to banish fear
arH restore confidence."
Houston Post: "Mr. Rocsevelt's inau
gural address will certainlv be rated as
cue of the most extraordinary in our
history, for its forthrightness, courage
and facing of realities. It should go far
to restore the confidence of the Amer
ican peonle In Government and leader
ship. His phrase, "a good neighbor,"
which he used to signify the foreign
policy of his administration is one hap
pily chosen, which should find a cordial
reception abroad, with its implication
of sincere friendliness, coupled with
mutual self-respect and co-operation."
The Rochester Democrat and Chron
icle: "The most encouraging quality in
President Roosevelt's inaugural address
was the impression he managed to give
of confidence in his own powers of [
leadership. He let it be understood:
that he has carefully surveyed the
ground and decided upon a course of
action • • • the people plainly wish >
to led; It now remains to be seen
where and how the new President In- |
tends to lead them. If his inaugural
address is interpreted correctly, this
will be along the lines of sound Amer- |
icanism. * * * it was an invitation to
the Nation to hope great tilings of the
new administration."
Albany-Knickerbocker Press: "The
only thing we have to fear." said Presi
dent Roosevtlt in his profoundly mov
ing inaugural address, "is fear itself."
In this time of reassessment of live val
ues, when familiar standards of "eas
ier days" are swept away, the funda
mental truth is thus incisely expressed,
and with i'luminatlng clarity, obviously
the public's share today, and for the
weeks and months ahead—is to destroy
fear, and in the doing orient our
strength for a richer and more abun
uant uic.
Galveston News; "President Roose
velt's speech is an inspiring preamble
to the message he will submit to the
special session of Congress. It will give
the Nation courage and steadiness to
await unfoldment of the new deal. His
avoidance of mealy-mouthed optimism
and his earnest profession of faith in
the American peope and their basic In
stitutions are in tune with the popular
mood. But the people expect action,
and the new President has promised to
give it to them: he dare not fail."
St. Louis Globe Democrat: "There is 1
ground for faith in what he says and
in the manner of his speaking. The
spirit of courage and confidence with j
which he addresses his prodigious task i
is in itself impressive, and particularly j
so at a tims when it is just that spirit
which is most needed by the country, j
It is worth much in these circum- j
stances to have a leader who believes
he knows what ought to be done and
who has the will to da it. But there i
Is more than this in his inaugural, he ,
indicates plainly enough to be read
that he intends to apply his powers to j
the restoration of our economic equi
librium, and it can be discerned that
his fundamental purposes are sound.
The welfare of the Naticn is now large- j
ly in the hands of President Roosevelt.
We expect confidently that he will jus- j
tify a full trust in the quality of his
leadership."
Chicago Tribune: "President Roose
velt's inaugural strikes a dominant note
of courageous confidence. Not shirking
'the dark realities of the moment,' the
President emphasizes the underlying
realities—'our distress comes from no
failure of substance. We are stricken
by no plague of locusts. Compared
with the perils which our forefathers
conouered bee? use they believed and
wer not afraid we have still much to
be thankful for. Nature still offers
her bounty and human efforts have
multiplied.'
"Confined in a brief message to the
larger outlines of the problem before us
and to general indications of practical
policies and measures, the President's
address is not to be taken as an ex
plicit program. For discussion its
practical suggestions must await more
definite proposals of action.
"President Roosevelt speaks with a
confidence which is justified by the
good will of the Nation. He has for
his practical support a majority in
both Houses of Congress, and of &
party fresh from political victory, and
■we trust ready to follow strong and
patriotic lead3rship."
Louisville Courier-Journal: "It Is an
innovation—a welcome innovation—de
parting from the usual verbose style of
such efforts, and presenting compactly
the principal points of the prcgram he
proposes to put through.
"This is the prescription of Franklin
Roosevelt. He will admlnster it by giv
ing the people work, recruiting them to
it as in war. He will adhere to the
n:rmal balance of executive and legi
slative authority if that shall be ade
quate in the crisis, but he will not fear
to depart from it to save the republic.
"They are words that give us heart.
For the first time a great leader has
touched the seat of the national dis
CMC
Beaton Herald: "It was not an in
augural address in the usual meaning
of the expression. It was more like a
manifesto of a man who knows what
he wants and intends to get it. It was
in a v.ny a preface to an unrevealed
legislative program, the nature of which
may b? inferred from the tone of the
speech and the manner in which he
spoke. One word was especially wel
come. He said that Government spend
ing must be reduced 'drastically.' This
declaration of his statement that he
favored a sound and adequate currency
will reassure a distressed Nation."
Birmingham Age-Herald: "Nothing
that Mr. Roosevelt has said or done
since his election, nothing that has hap
pened in this country in many months,
has held for the American people so
much hope, so much encouragement, so
much promise, as the words uttered by
the new President in his inaugural ad
dress."
New York Herald-Tribune (indepen
dent Republican): "We think there
must be general agreement that the
new Executive of the Nation speaks
with courage and confidence, like a true
leader, who realizes the difficulties be
fore him and faces them unafraid. * * *
President Roosevelt has started well. A
loyal and united Nation will be glad to
follow his leadership In the difficult
days that lie ahead.

HOME TRADITIONS
Known as Gracious Enter
tainers, Congenial and Fond
of Outdoor Sports.
By the Associated Press.
A family that in spite of modern in
fluences has held to many homely
American traditions moved into the
White House yesterday for a four-year
stay.
At the head of the group whose in
formality has surprised some of the
Washington dignitaries who have come
into contact with it in the past is
Franklin D. Roosevelt—"Franklin" to
his wife and "Pa" to their five chil
dren. Similarly, Mrs. Roosevelt is
"Ma" to her daughter and sons.
Mr. Roosevelt is tall and of robust
physique, showing in casual contacts
little trace of the physical troubles that
overtook him in 1921. Even tempered,
rarely ruffled, he smiles easily and often,
laughs heartily, but. in his own words,
can be very stubborn when he gets his
"Dutch up." Those who know him well
say they have seen him actively engage
in the consideration of as many as1
three different subjects at once. Swim
ming is his favorite exercise.
Gracious Hostess.
His wife, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, tall j
and active, fits with equal ease into nu
merous roles. She is a gracious hostess
who has the knack of putting at ease
all guests, be they aristocrat or com
moner; an accomplished speaker on nu
merous subject*, school teacher, editor
and humanitarian whose keen interest
in persons lias led her into many un
told charities. She walks rapidly, with
swinging; stride, drives her own car,
and desires to live her own full, free
life without unnecessary official inter
ference. Her Interests are too numerous
to permit many hobbies.
The Roosevelt daughter and four sons
are Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dall and
James, Elliott, John and Franklin, jr.
There are two other grown-up members
of the family group, Curtis Dall, and
slender, dark-haired Betsy Roosevelt,
James' wife.
Mrs. Dall—"Anna" to all her friends
is a slender, vivacious young woman
with shimmering blonde hair and an
infectious smile. She rides, plays ten
nis. swims and has numerous active
social interests.
Her close and constant companion
during the campaign trips that took
her father from one end cf the country
to the other was Betsy, and the pair
were presented to numerous audiences
by Mr. Roosevelt simply and informally,
with a touch of pride, as "my daughter
Anna, and my daughter-in-law, Betsy."
"My Little Boy. Jimmie."
James, tall and genial, an official in
an organization of young Democrats,
accompanied his father on all campaign
trips, and rare, indeea, were the occa
sions on which Mr. Roosevelt appeared
in public without James at his side.
He was there, too, yesterday at the in
auguration. His father always present
ed him as "my little boy Jimmie."
Sometimes, there was Elliott, shorter
than James and more reserved. He
broke the family tradition which took
his father and James and his younger
brothers on the educational path to
Harvard. He went into business in New
York.
John and Franklin, jr., both tall and
athletic, now are at the Groton School
for Boys in Massachusetts, the tradi
tional preparatory school for Harvard.
A broken nose received in a midseason
scrimmage last Flail did not deter Frank
lin from returning to root ball before
the season ended.
The two youngest members of the fam
ily group are "Sistie" (Anna Eleanor),
5, and "Buzzie" (Curtis, jr.) Dall, 2,
the President's grandchildren. "Sistie"
already has been taught by her mother
to ride a galloping pony and is keenly
interested in quoit pitching. "Buzzie"
is stil a blond toddler, highly proficient
in claiming his grandfather's attention.
CHARGED WITH THEFT
OF 5135,000 FROM FIRM
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 4—Police
today arrested Raymond Haas, 29-year
old former assistant cashier of Ford,
Bacon it Davis, nationally known en
gineering firm of New York City, on a
fugitive warrant charging him with the
thfeft of $135,000 in cash from the
firm's accounts.
Haas, the officers said, was working
as a soda clerk in Hollywood, where he
was arrested, at a salary of $18 a week.
They said their prisoner admitted the
defalcations and told them he had lost
the money, a part of which constituted
the private funds of George Bacon, a
member of the firm, in "playing the
stock market."
Detectives said Haas told them he
began the defalcations in 1930 and
continued them until his discharge last
August IS, drawing forged checks and
entering the transactions in his books
as purchases made for members of the
families of the corporation officials.
Haas was traced through letters
written to him by his wife. New York
authorities wired they would send im
mediately for him.

SENATORS RECEIVE
OATH OF OFFICE
Considerable Feeling Marks
Retirement of Old-Time
Legislators.
In a gripping setting tinged with
pathos, figures long outstanding In na
tional affairs yielded their Senate
desks yesterday to newcomers In the
legislative halls.
Pour by four, the "youngsters" in
the new Senate came to the desk of the
Vice President to receive the oath of
office, which formally inducted them as
successors to the outgoing notables.
This solemn vow they received from
inother Senate youngster—Vice Presi
Sent John Nance Garner—who but a
moment before had taken the presiding
javel from retiring Charles Curtis.
Fifteen New Senators.
The 15 new Senators—all Democrats
—were Adams of Colorado. Bachman of
rennessee. Bone of Washington, Brown
of New Hampshire, Byrd of Virginia,
Dieterich of Illinois, Duffy of Wisconsin.
Lonergan of Connecticut, McAdoo of
California, McCarran of Nevada,
Murphy of Iowa, Overton of Louisiana.
Pope of Idaho. Elbert D. Thomas of
Utah and Van Buys of Indiana.
Clark of Missouri also took the oath,
although he had already served for a
short period due to the resignation of
Senator Hawes.
Also escorted to the front by their
colleagues were the Senators who were
re-e'.ected in November. They were:
Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky; Black,
Democrat, Alabama; Bulkley, Democrat,
Ohio; Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas;
Dale, Republican. Vermont; Davis. Re
publican, Pennsylvania; Fletcher, Dem
ocrat, Florida; George, Democrat, Geor
gia; Hayden, Democrat, Arizona; Mc
Gill. Democrat, Kansas; Norbeck, Re

can, North Dakota; Reynolds, Demo
crat, North Carolina; Smith. Democrat,
South Carolina; Steiwer, Republican,
Oregon; Elmer Thomas, Democrat, Ok
lahoma; Tydings. Democrat, Maryland,
and Wagner, Democrat, New York.
Fifty-eight Democratic Majority.
As they came into power as part of
the largest Democratic majority in the
Senate's history—58 votes—the king
pins of the outgoing Republican admin
istration followed Herbert Hoover into
private life, but took with them the well1
wishes and affectionate friendship of
those they left.
There was big and Jovial "Sunny
Jim" Watson, who came to the Senate
In 1916 from Indiana and In the en
suing years rose to the power of Re
publican leader. Swept away In the
Democratic landslide last Fall, he goes
beck to practicing law.
By the dozens his colleagues called
Jim on the Senate floor to shake his
hand in farewell and wish him success,
likewise were their respects paid on
the floor and in the hallways to these
Republican Stalwarts who followed him
out of public life:
George H. Moses of New Hampshire,
president pro tempore; Hiram Bing
ham of Connecticut, Reed Smoot of
Utah, the dean of the Senate, who
ended 30 years' service to the hour,
and others of less note in party coun
cils.
Roosevelt Follows Proceeding*.
Prestdent Roosevelt, then the Presi
dent-elect, followed the proceedings In
tently as Mr. Garner administered the
oath of office to the men over whom he
will preside for the next four years.
On them the new Chief Executive
will depend in part for carrying
through the administrative program
by which he will seek to bring back
better times.
All the newccmers and those re
elected were given their oaths and:
seated, with no question raised about
the admifsicn of James J. Davis of I
Pennsylvania, re-elected, a Republican,
about whom Gov. Giflord Ptachot
wrote a confidential letter in sending
his credentials.
Nor was there any challenge of John
H. Overtcn, Democrat, of Louisiana,
succeeding a fellow Democrat, Edwin
S. Broussard. His defeat of Brous
sard in the Senatorial primary Is be
ing investigated by a Senate commit-1
tee.
The Democratic members soon will
be 59, with the appointment of a suc
cessor to the late Senator Thomas J.
Walsh of Montana, as compared with
the lone Farmer-Labor member. Ship
stead of Minnesota, and 36 Republicans,
including the independents, many of
whom supported Mr. Roosevelt in the
campaign. |

News Cameraman
Hurt on Dirigible
During Ceremonies
Part of Hand Clipped by
Fropellor as Jess Kizis
Drops Film Roll.
Part of hi* right hand severed as
a result of an accident aboard an Army
non-rigid dirigible flying over the
Capital during the inaugural cere
monies yesterday, Jess Kizis, New York
newsreel cameraman, was couflned to
the Boiling Field dispensary last night.
Klsis lost part of his third finger and
fractured another digit when the blast
of the slipstream carried his hand into
a whirling propeller as he dropped a
roll of exposed film to the ground.
The roll was recovered by the Army
Air Corps and before the parade was
over had been printed and copies
started on the way to New York and
other cities in the East for showing
last night.
Though Kizis requested that he be
permitt?d to continue his assignment
to photograph the remainder of the
parade, despite his injuries, the airship
crew decided he was too badly injured
to delay treatment and an emergency
landing was made at Boiling Field.
Kizis was taken to the dispensary, where
he was ordered to remain for the night.

By the Associated Press.
HAVANA. Cuba. March 4.—The Cu
ban prefs today hailed with enthusiasm
Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration u
President of the United States.
El Mundo said Mr. Roosevelt arrives
at the presidency "with the economic
outlook grave, in the presence of great
social ferment," and urged him to
"mr.intain serenity of spirit."
Cuba Is "in the orbit of his influence,"
El Mundo added. "• * • Cubans, more
interested than any others by reason
of the geographical and commercial po
sition of both nations, will follow closely
the trend of his Government."
Dlario de la Marina said: "The en
tire world has hopeful, expectant eye#
on his person, sympathetic, intelligent
and modest. His ascent to power sup
poses, for the universe, solution of all
its economic problems. May God light
up the path of this worthy man so that
the world may admire another page in
the civilization of our America."
El Pals asserted: "In hours perhaps
the most difficult of the United States'
history, • • • Mr. Roosevelt is received
in a wave of optimism. If his fellow
men expect much from Roosevelt, so do
other nations."
Wiring his congratulatiyis to the new
Executive, President Machado sent
"wishes for the greatest success to your
excellency in this hour universally dif

LEAPS OVER ZOO WALL
Female Co.iti Eludes Hunters and
Dogs Near Independence, Kans.
INDEPENDENCE. Kans. W).—A fe
male coati, possibly thinking of the
joys of her native Central American
jungles, gave one bound and went over
the Zoo walls.
She has eluded 46 hunters and four
coon dogs. Local officials have pro
claimed an unofficial closed season on
coons because Madam Coatl looks a lot
like the North American coon. The
Zoo keeper wants madam herself and
not her pelt.
To prove that "a man who thought
milk better than alcohol need not be a
milksop," Dr. C. Billard, health officer
of Leicester, England, recently made a
solo flight in an airplane.
