New President Reaffirms the Policies Devised by Mr. Roosevelt—Was the Center of Interest at the Ball In the Pension Building, Which Was a Brilliant Affair. Washington, March §. — The first chief executive to take the oath of office in the chamber of the senate in seventy-six years, Willlam Howard Taft, became tha twenty-seventh pres- ident of the United States. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Fuller, of the supreme court, and immediately thereafter Mr. Taft delivered his inaugural address. The leading points in his address were as follows: “I have had the honor to be one of the advisers of my distinguished pre- decessor, and, as such, to hold up his bands in the reforms he has initiated. “I should be untrue to myself, to my promises and to the declarations of the party platform upon which I was elected if I did not make the mainte- nance and enforcement of these re- forms a most important feature of my administration. “To render reforms lasting, how- ever, and to secure at the same time freedom from alarm on the part of those pursuing proper and progressive business methods, further legislative and executive action are needed. “A reorganization of the department of justice, of the burean of corpora- tions in the department of commerce and labor and of the interstate com- merce commission, looking to effec- tive co-operation of these agencies, is needed to secure a more rapid and cer. bility and certainty in respect to those things that may be done and those that are prohibited which is essential tain enforcement of the laws affecting interstate railroads and industrial com. binations. “Relief of the railroads from certain restrictions of the anti-trust law have been urged by my predecessor and will be urged by me. “I believe that, with the changes to be recommended, American business can be assured of that measure of sta- to the life and growth of all busi ness.” Accompanied to the capitol by Pres- ident Roosevelt and a guard of honor through a swirl of blinding snow, Mr. Taft returned to the White House just as the sun began to force its way through the thinning clouds of gray. A sudden blizzard sweeping in from the northwest to set awry the weather bureau's optimistic promise of “fair and somewhat colder,” caused an aban. donment of the outdoor ceremonies on the famous east front of the capitol, much to Mr. Taft's chagrin, and also threatened for a time to stop the bril- liant pageant of the afternoon. By almost superhuman efforts a pas- sageway was cleared along the center of Pennsylvania avenue, however, and for nearly three hours President Taft and Vice President Sherman reviewed a passing column which was replete with martial splendor and picturesque with civic display. Mr. Roosevelt's Affectionate Farewell. Following the brilliant and impres- sive ceremonies in the senate, during which both president and vice presi dent took the oath of office, President Roosevelt, again a private citizen, bade an affectionate adieu to his successor, while all in the historic chamber look: ed on in silence, and then hurried away through a side door to take a train for New York. As he passed out of the chamber Mr. Roosevelt was given an ovation quite the equal of that tendered to the new president. Outside the capitol the retiring chief executive was met by 800 members of the New York county committee, and under their escort was driven to the Union station, a short three blocks away. A band at the head of the col- umn playing “Auld Lang Syne” told the story of the march, and Mr. Roose- velt was compelled time and time again to acknowledge the cheers from the throng which lined his way. President and Mrs. Taft at Ball. President and Mrs. Taft were the centers of interest at the culminating feature of the memorable day—the in- augural ball in the pension building. The scene in the cavernous building, which had been transformed into a canopied court of ivory and white, was another of the brilliant pictures which are quadrennially painted here by the gathering of vast and brilliant assemblage from every section of the country. With all the color and move- ment of a military spectacle, with the softening influence of delicately tinted gowns and the interest of a personnel seldom equalled at a social function, the inaugural ball holds a piace unique in the history making of the day. ‘While the ball was in progress in- doors a display of fireworks on the monument lot in the rear of the White House marked the end of the outdoo: celebration. For hours the thinly clouded heavens brilliance of day, with flery “cobras” and all the fantastic creations of mo” ern pyrotechnic skill. Aerial salute- floating festoons, illuminated balloons and scores of other features made tt* display visible from one end of th Capitol City to the other. Pays to Advertise. “When I was doing business in a very small way,” remarked a shrewd merchant, “I advertised that I had no branch stores.” “Well?” “That made people think I was run. ning a classy shop, and pretty soon 1 was able to open branch stores. See?” —Louisville Courier-Journal. He Knew Them. “Things have gone completely to the dogs with me.” “Cheer up. They might bave been ‘worse.” ‘ “Don’t you believe it.” “Why “Because then they would have been.” him. Next the mob took Ellis from the officers and burned him at the stake, Negroes Give Foraker a Loving Cup. Former United States Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, was presented with a massive silver loving cup by the negro residents of Washington in appreciation of his fight in the United States senate to have the battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, discharged as a result of the “shooting up” of Brownsville, Tex. restored to the army. Prayed For Taft's Administration. Two hundred men, representatives of various church organizations and labor unions of Greater New York, met at the Broadway Tabernacle in response to an invitation “to offer | iV prayer for President Taft and the in- coming administration.” More than a score of those in attendance offered brief prayers. Inaugural Parader Dies. On the train carrying the 400 Ken tucky Repuhlicans who attended the inauguration, J. W. Calvert, of Pewee Valley, Ky., died near Hinton, W. Va., of pneumonia, which developed as a result of marching in the snow and slush of inauguration day. He was, eighty-one years old. Would Change Inauguration Date. Speaker Cannon, of the national house of representatives, says he is in favor of changing the date of the presidential inauguration from March 4 to May 1, and added that as one rep resentative in congress he would lend his aid in an effort to bring this re sult about. Stenographer Inherits $6,000,000.
