With Impressive Ceremony Theodore Roosevelt Takes the Oath of Office*** Great Crowds Throng Wash* ington***lnaugural Address is Short and Plain*** Magnificent Gowns At Inaugural Ball WASHINGTON, D. C. March 4. j —Theodore Roosevelt, was toilay transformed from President byj chance into President by choice; j from President through an assass-1 in's bullet into President through the ballots Of the people. Under the shadow of the gray domed Capitol, gazing into the placid marble features of Green ough's statue of tne fiftrst Presi dent, the twenty-sixth President of the United States swore faithfully to execute the laws and to preserve protect, and defend the Constitu tion. Once before he nad taken this solemn obligation; then, at the death-bed of his martyred prede cessor, surrounded by a small com pany of tear-dimmed friends and counsellors; today, in the presence of a cheering host of fifty thousand people. Then he had ridden many lonely miles over storm-swept mountain roads"to reach the tragic scene of his elevation; today he j was escorted along the nation's grandest avenue from the White House to the home of Congress be tween two densely packed lines of his countrymen gathered from ev ery quarter to cheer him and wish him Godspeed in the coming four years. Then he had said, with choking voice, "it shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the policies of President MeKinley for the peace, prosperity, and honor of our beloved country." Today he left it for his fellow-cit izens, who had honored him with a greater majority than ever before given, to judge whether or not he had redeemed that pledge. When he entered the White House the youngest President in his country's history, besides the vast responsibilities of his office, he received as a heritage McKln ley's dearest ambition to become more and more with the years tho President of all the people. Today there were represented in the throngs that had journeyed hither to greet President Roosevelt men from the Nortn, South, East, and West, and from distant islands of the seas; from the Philippines, from Porto Rico, from Hawaii — from every land where floats the emblem of the Republic. In the great parade there rode Governors of States, both North and South. Filipinos who had fought under the Hag of Agulnaldo today carried the arms of Uncle Sam and stepped proudly beneath the Stars and Stripes. Blanketed Indians from the virile plains vied with silk hatted gentry from the effete East In sounding the praises of this OOWboy-author - soldier - statesman. The Preslden'a Old rancher friends, with lariat nnd chaparejos and wiry bronchos, made strange con trast to the stiff-backed, pouter- Cheated young men from the naval military schools. Rough Riders from San Juan Hill, volunteers from Santiago, jackies from Manila bay shared the plaudits of the multitude with modest, everyday soldiers, for whom the title Regu lar is distinction quite enough. Political clubs from the East and West, militiamen from North and South, blue-Clad veterans of the sixties, heroes of the Spanish- American war, miners from Penn sylvania, the entire legislature of the State of Tennessee, the Presi dent's neighbors from Oyster Hay —all contributed to the national character of the splendid pageant. Who shall say that for today at least Theodore Roosevelt was not President of all the people? The Colonel of the Rough Riders has written of his crowded hour in Cuba. Today he showed his for mer comrades a crowded hour in Washington. They were waiting for him when he emerged from the White House this morning—30 picked men tinder Governor Rrodie. With the crack squadron A of the First Cavalry, U. S. Army, they formed his escort to the Capitol. As they swung aroutiTl the Treas ury building into Pennsylvania avenue a division of the O. A. R., with General O. O. Howard and staff In the lead, which had been standing at salute, wheeled into the COlUttß, while the cavalrymen checked their paco to accommo date the slower footsteps of the aged veterans. A mighty wave of j sheers swept along the avenue as the President's carriage came In sight. Throughout the whole route the President, with hat In hand,' kept bowing In acknowledgement of the greetings. On his arrival at the Capitol he was conducted to the President's room, In the reur of the Senate chamber, where he began at once the signing of be-1 lated bills. At noon he entered ; the abode of the Senute to witness | the Installation of Senator Fair banks as Vice President.

Tho broad plaza whose level sur face stretches east from the Na tional Capitol can accommodate an army. Kor hours this morning Washington poured its own popu lation and a vast increment of vis itors into the front yard of the seat of government. From the porticos and windows of the Capitol build ing a good idea of the scope of the multitude could be gathered. Eight COPYRIGHT 1904 .BY C'K-BtM *«" CHIEF JUSTICE MELVILLE W. FULLER. acres of humanity spread fan-shap-1 ed from the focus made by a little I covered shelter, open at the sides, Wfiern President Roosevelt was to stand. Over toward the imposing I facade of the Congressional Li brary it extended, literally a "sea of faces." There may have been only 50,000; probably there were nearer $100,000 in sight of the President when he took the oath. Stands on the central portico, | extending to the tribune wherein the ceremony occurred, covered an' acre. From the central entrance of the Capitol to the seats of honor surrounding the pagoda-like trib redune was laid a carpet of crim son plush. Long before the cere monies In the Senate, where Vice- Preaident Fairbanks was taking; the oath of Office, were concluded, ■ most of the reserved seats had j been filled by ticket holders. I Four years ago there was an em- ; Iha rrass in g misunderstanding be tween the members ot the Supreme I Court and the Diplomatic Corps as jto precedence in the march of nota ries down the red carpet; also, the i diplomats found no seats for all, but the justices went ahead and the diplomats follawed. The imposing form of Chief Jus tice Fuller, who is almost heroic ;in stature, was the first to catch the eye of the vast crowd. Flanked by the marshal of the District of 'Columbia, Justice Harlan led his j colleagues, garbed in flowing robes jof black, topped with satin skull j caps, to their seats at the left of the tribune. After a brief pause, ICount Cassini, the Russian Anibas j sador and dean of the Diplomatic Corps, marshaled forth the ambas i sadors and ministers of foreign countries. When tho daylight caught the gleam of their accoutre ' menu, it was evident the diplo mats bad boon undeterred by the i ; calamity of four years ago, when ■ the ralii ruined some $:U»,ooo worth I of gold lace and regalia. These for l leign gentlemen for the most part ' have honorary rank In their armies i! at home, and the full dress of crack i i European regiments Is gaudy and gorgeous. The garb of a plain civ ilian diplomat is of itself well worth looking at. If the justices ! carried with them solemnity, the ( foreigners brought splendor, and when they were finally seated to the right of the President's ros trum their location marked an oasis of color amid a desert of J black. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fair banks were next escorted to seats ' just outside the tribune. The President's children were with Mrs. Roosevelt, and Mr. Fairbanks' two sons, students at Yale, and his daughter, Mrs. Adelaide Timmons, were with Mrs. Fairbanks. Mrs. Roosevelt was gowned in a severe ly pain tailored suit of electric blue; the round skirt was trimmed in bands of lighter shade panne velvet, and the short, modish jack et hsd a vest of the panne braided in silver. Mrs. Fairbanks wore a beaiff.iful dress of brown velvet, trimmed with white chiffon and ermine. Her hat and gloves were also white. Vice-President Fair banks, accompanied by the Secre tary Jof the Senate and followed by the Senators and ex-Senators, was next in order. Then came Speaker C&nnon and the House of Repre sentatives. The instant the tall form of the Vice-President appear ed a swelling cheer burst from the crowd. Mr. Fairbanks bowed re peatedly before taking his chair. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, advancing down the carpet in a business-like manner was quickly recognized I and evoked salvos of applause. Secretary Hay and the other members of the Cabinet were ush ered to their chairs. The Governors of States and Ter ritories and the other Invited guests followed in indiscriminate fashion, and in a short time all was in readiness for the coming of the Chief Executive. President Roosevelt advanced from the door of tne Capitol, arm in arm with Chief Justice Fuller. Instantly, from all parts of the eight acres of humanity, arose a prolonged, tumultuous shout. At a distance it might have been mis taken for a chorus of colossal fog horns; close by it filled and deaf ened the ears. Behind the Presi dent and his white-haired compan ion came James H. McKenney, Clerk of the Supreme Court, bear ing a ponderous bible. When the demonstration ceased, Chief Jus tice Fuller, his snowy locks falling to his shoulders, in feeble tones pronounced the oath. President Roosevelt's voice was easily audi ble at some distance when he re peated the formal declaration pre scribed in article II of the Consti tution: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." A second later he bowed and pressed his lips upon the open pages of Holy Writ. Again erect, he faced the people, and for an in stant perfect silence held. A signal ! had been Hashed from the dome of I the Capitol to the Navy Yard, whence came the boom of a ten- Inch gun, first of twenty-one, fired in honor of the newly inaugurated Chief Executive. The tension was broken, and a roar of cheers re sounded far and wide across the plaza. In fruitless competition there was heard by few the strains of "The Star Spangled Manner" from Professor Foster's big chorus On the outskirts of the crowd bands were playing; cannon in the Virginia forts across the river and batteries In the city were joining the big guns of the monitor "Pur itan" in the salute to the Presi dent. For many minutes the jan gle of sounds continued before the President could find a chance to be gin his Inaugural address. The conclusion of the address was the signal for another ovation, during which Mr. Hoosevelt shook bands with most of the notables who pressed about the tribune. Then he was escorted back to the rotunda of the Capitol and thence to the Executive chamber, where he held a brief reception before leaving for the White House. CEREMONY INAUGURATING VICE-PRESIDENT. | Senator Charles Warren Fair i banks of Indiana, became Vice I President of the United States [ shortly after tin' marble-laced clocks of the Senate chamber reg '. Istered noon today. He reached ; the north side of the Cauitol a few ■ minutes after 11 o'clock and went lto Ihe Vice President's room. ; which he will occupy for the coin ■ Ing four years as presiding officer . of die Senate.

Four years ago Senator Carter, of Montana, cele brated his retirement by talking to death a fifty-million dollor river and harbor bill. His swan song was a word-painted picture of the iniquity of that bill, and the drag ging moments which marked the dissolution of the Fifty-sixth Cong ress were chiefly remarkable for Senator Carter's talk against time, for which service to his country he was duly rewarded with the presidency of the Hoard of Govern ment Commissioners for the Louis iana Purchase Exposition. Today's closing business was of insufficient importance to seriously engage the attention of the spec tators, the heavy business of this Congress already having been con cluded for better or worse. At 11:15 the galleries were open ed, and there was a quick rush of those possessing the coveted paste boards for points of vantage from which to view the forthcoming ceremonies in the red carpeted and mahogany furnished pit below. The galleries filled quickly and overflowed into the corridors. The gay frocks of the women relieved the dull background of the walls, and with their varied colors formed a picturesque frame for the scene below. Among the early arrivals were Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fairibanks, who took seats in the Executive gallery. The arrival of distinguished guests on the floor soon offered all the interest the galleries could de sire. First came the Supreme Court of the United States, led by the venerable Chief Justice; then the diplomats, with the Russian ambassador in front; headed by Lieutenant General Chaffee; some sixteen Governors of States, with members of their staffs, justices and judges of high rank, and many others whose positions or attain ments entitled mem to recognition iv this assemblage of the favored. As each succeeding detachment arrived announcement was made by the Sergeant-at-Arms. so that the galleries readily kept posted on their Identity. The formal annaun cement, however, was due to no such charitable incentive, but was intended solely to lend pomp to the occasion. Most of the reserved spaces were now tilled, and all that was left was quickly gobbled up, when, at ten minutes to twelve, preceded by the jaunty figure of "Uncle Joe," the House of Repre sentatices appeared. Then the President was announced. Lead- (Continued on Page 3.) FAIRBANKS' ADDRESS fScrlpps News Association.)

DETECTIVES GO TO HONOLULU (Sorlpps News Association.) SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.—Be yond the departure for Honolulu to day of Detective Harry Reynolds, of the city police force; Captain James Callundan, head of the private de tective agency employed by repre sentatives of the Stanford estate; David Stan- Jordan, president of the Stanford university, and Timothy Hopkins, one of the trustees of the university, the morning developed nothing new in the great Stanford mystery. Rumors are followed by prompt denial. Tangible facts are absent. The first rumor denied was the al leged finding of a bottle of strych nine in the Stanford mansion. The police declare that in Friday's search only a few simple medicines were found. Another rumor was to the effect that it was authoritatively an nounced that styrchnlne had been found in Mrs. Stanford's stomach. Neither the police. Mrs. Stanford's brother nor the counsel for the Stan ford estate have any such Informa tion and all deny the report on the work thus far accomplished by the analytical chemists given out either In Honolulu or cabled to San Fran cisco. Miss Banter's admission that she purchased a bottle of bicarbonate of soda and that the purchase was made after the tirst poisoning and three days before the time she says it was packed away to remain untouched un til Mrs. Stanford arrived in Honolulu is considered fatal to her side of the case. In fact, -Miss Herner's many contradictory statements and bad memory have not helped to dispel the Impression that she is attempting to shield the guilty person. The police department Is still rest ing on its oars, but is ready to make arrests as soon as Information comes WASHINGTON WATER POWER COMPANY SUED Edward F. Hall, by his guardian, brought suit today against the Washington Water Power company for 130,000 damages for personal In juries. Hall was crossing the Monroe street bridge July lt'>, lf>"J, on a bi cycle. He Was thrown from bIS wheel hy running against a greasy rail of a cross track Which connects the two tracks of the railway on the bridge and fell In front ot an approaching car. The complaint states that the car ROBBERY Burglars used an ax to pry open the window of 0. 1! Galloway's store at not First avenue last night. Th. robbers made a clean sweep of the light goods, culle:y. etc., to gether with a number or watches and revolvers, to tin- amount of several hundred dells** One Cent from Honolulu that poison was actu ally found in Die stomach of Mis. Stanford. There can be no question that a number of former Stanford servants now cooped up In the Stanford man sion and perhaps two or three other Stanford employes will be taken into custody as soon as It Is definitely as certained that Mrs. Stanford was poi soned. Before sailing the detectives had another conference with the police officials. They were Instructed not only to escort Miss Berner and Misa Hunt to San Francisco, but to bring other material witnesses If It was found to be expedient. All tangible evidence will he turned over by the Honolulu polite to the San Francisco police. The fact that the strychnine found In the Poland water of which Mrs. Stanford partook when she was first poisoned Is Identical with the strych nine used about the Stanford stables to kill rats Is conceded to be a most Important discovery. The police anticipate no difficulty in learning the identity of the per sons who could have had access to the poison kept in the stables and believe the clew will lead direct to the person or persons responsible for the presence of poison In the bicar bonate of soda. It Is persistently reported today that the name of the actual Instiga tor of the crime has not yet appeared publicly. The police. It Is stated, agree that a carefully laid plot cul minated In the death of Mrs. Stan ford and that ono high up hatched the plot. The chief of police announced posi tively this afternoon that arrests would be made immediately upon re ceipt of the report that strychnine had been found in the stomach. was more than 75 feet distant when Hall was thrown on the rails and that the motorman might hava Stopped and avoided an accident. Tha ear Struck Hall and dragged him un der the wheels for quite a distance, crushing the bones of his leg and severing tendons .so that amputation of the \e, was necessary. Besides alleging- negligence on tha part of the motorman the complaint states that the railroad company was negligent in building the cross track, leaving the rails two Inches übovo the planks of the bridge.
