MARSHALL TAKES OATH

Woodrow Wilson, former governor
of New Jersey, was inaugurated on
Tuesday afternoon as the twenty:
eighth president ol the United States,
the eighth son of Virginia to rise to!
that office and the first Democrat,’
since the second election of Grover
Cleveland, twenty years ago, to re
ceive the highest office in the gift of |
the American people. |
Just one hour before the oath of
office as vice president had been ad- |
ministered to Thomas Riley Marshal, |
former governor of Indiana. |
Thus for the first time
years the Democratic party came into |
contro! of the government again, amd’
scenes of stirring animation and with |
impressive ceremonies, marked in the
main by simplicity, and yet retaining |
that degree of dignity, with some of *
the pomp and spectacular display that
inevitably attaches to the induction of ;
a new chief executive of the nation. |
The elaborate ceremonies followed
a fixed program covering over five
hours. It began in the morning with
the drive of William Howard Taft, the,
retiring president, the president-elect |
and the vice president-elect from the
White House to the capitol, where
until noon Mr. Taft was occupied with
the measures passed in the closing
hours of the Sixty-second congress |
The inauguration of Vice President
Marshall was practically coincident
with the assembling of the new senate
and the swearing in of the new sena-
tors. Following this, came the chief
ceremony of the day, the inauguraticn
of President Wilson, before a crowd of
many thousands at the east front of ,
the capitol. Then came the return of |
the presidential party to the White
House and the review of the inaugural
parade of 30,000 or more marchers, |
military and civic.
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall had re- |
mained with their families at their |
hotels through the night. As the hour
approached ior opening the ceremon-
jeg they were joined by the inaugural
committee of congress, made up of
Senators Crane, Bacon and Overman
and Representatives Rucker, Garrett
and McKinley. To this committee was
assigned the first function of import-
ance in the proceedings, that of con-
ducting the new president and vice
president to the White House for for-
mal greetings with President Taft,
followed by the drive of the presiden-
tial party to the capitol.
The Ride to the Capitol. |
Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson ‘occupied
carriages with the members of the in-
augural committee; Mr. Marshall and
Senator Gallinger, president pro tem.
of the senate, following immediately
in another carriage with other mem-
bers of the committee; more carriages
following with members of the retir-
ing cabinet.
Pennsylvania avenue and the main
thoroughfares converging at the capi-
tol were packed to witness this move
of the presidential party to the capi-
tol. From the White House to the
capitol steel cables strung along the
curb held back the spectators and all
traffic was suspended.
At the capitol the committee of ar-
rangements was ready to conduct the
president and President-elect Wilson
to the marble chamber known as the
president’s room, just off the lobby
leading to the senate chamber. Oth-
ers of the committee were at hand to
conduct Mr. Marshall and Senator
Gallinger to the vice president's room,
$0 the opposite end of the senate
lobby.
The arrival of the presidential party
was a full hour before the time set
for the inauguration ceremony. This
was to give suificient time to Mr. Taft
to sign or veto bills being passed in
the last hour of the expiring Sixty-
second congress. The cabinet of the
outgoing president accompanied him,
to inspect bills pertaining to their de-
partments and to advise the president
as to his signature or veto.
Meantime other thousands filled the
seats in the big amphitheater sur-
rounding the platiorm at the east
front of the capitol, where the new
president later took oath of office and '
delivered his inangurzl address.
The justices of the supreme court
were scheduled to be the first to enter,
but owing to the delay in proceedings,
they were preceded by the diplomatic '
corps, as the diplomats were ushered !
into the sencte chamber while all of
those assembled roze. The justices of |
the supreme court headed by Chief |
Justice White, in their somber robes
of office, presenting a marked contrast
to the brilliantly garbed diplomats |
followed. {
The representatives of foreign na
tions were headed by Ambassado:
Jusserand, of France, dean of the
diplomatic corps in the absence of the |
venerable Baron Hengelmuller, the

the chamber and took his seat pre
pared to be called to the rostrum te!
take his oath. i
Three minutes later President-elect
Wilson, with President Taft walking
by his side, and followed by members |
of the retiring cabinet and the mem
bers of the committee on arrange
ments, was escorted into the chamber |
The retiring and incoming president
occupied chairs immediately in front
of the vice president's rostrum.
Marshall Takes the Oath.
First in the order of the proceed:
Arising from his seat among the sen
ators, the new vice president was es |
corted to the senate rostrum, to the|
right of the presiding officer. The of
fice of vice president being vacant by
reason of the death of James S. Sher |
man, the administration of the oath!
to the new vice president fell to the,
lot of Senator Gallinger. !
This brief ceremony was followed
with impressive silence as the oath |
was slowly repeated by the new offi-
cial, standing with upraised hand.
Vice President Marshall had now
been formally installed as the presid |
ing officer of the senate. This muco!
accomplished, the senate of the Sixty |
i
second congress adjourned sine die 5 presidential salute of twenty-one | brel
to reorganize immediately as the new
senate of the Sixty-third congress, |
with its new presiding officer direct: |
ing its affairs.
A prayer by the chaplain of the,
senate was the first formal action of |
the newly organized senate. With this
i solemn function over, Vice President:
Marshall delivered his inaugural ad-
dress. :
At this point the inaugural cere
monies passed from the state of quiet!
and solemnity in the senate chamber
to one full of color and animation as
the outd.or exercises of administer.
ing the cath to the new president be:
gan at the east front of the capitol. |
In the shadow of the great dome : |
immense stand to hold thousands had |
been erected.
At the i(ront and center of this vast
stage were ithe seats for Presi.ent
Taft and President-elect Wilson. Chief
Justice White, about to administer the
oath of office, was seated at the right
af the president-elect. Flanking this
central gronp were the associate jus
tices of the supreme court, the vice
|
those who had come from the senate,
chamber
In groups here and there were gov:
ernors of states, many of them with
their showy siaffs of military and
civil officials,
Facing the inaugural platform was
a dense crowd of spectators, many of
whom had come hundreds of miles to
see the Democratic party enthroned
once more, which packed the wide
plaza and struggled for vantage point,
while further back the long lines of
military and civic organizations took
position to await the formation of the |
parade.
New President Cheered.
The appearance of the incoming
president upon the portico was the
signal for round after round of cheers
arising from the throats of these
thousands who had stood in the broad
plaza in front of the capitol for many
hours. The shouts continued while the
inaugural party was taking seats on
the platform.
Applause came from the crowds
near the entrance of the capitol door
or former Speaker Cannon emerged.
It swelled into a larger volume as Wil
liam J. Bryan came forward with the
other guests comprising the member
ship of President Wilson's cabinet
Governor Fielder, successor to Presi
Jersey, came out to stand with Sena
tor Martine.
Mr. Bryan, Mr. McAdoo, Mr. Red:
field, Mr. Burleson, Mr. Daniels, Mr.
Lane, Mr. Wilson, Professor Hous on
and the others of the new cabinet
were escorted to seats as the crowd
voiced its approval by cheers.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters took
seats cloes to the square platform at
the left. At Mrs. Wilson's request Mrs.
Marshall took a seat beside her. The
two women walked forward to the
rail to look at the crowd. The Misses
Wilson joined them.
With this setting of animation all
attention was directed to the two cen:
tral figures of the assemblage—the
president-elect about to take the oath
of office and the chief justice of the
supreme court, ready to administe:
the oath.
Then there came a hush as these
two, rising from their seats, stood to-
gether at the center of the platform,
in his hands —the same Bible on which!
Mr. Wilson took the oath as gover |
nor of New Jersey—the president |
elect with uplifted hand. i
Slowly the chief justice repeated
the oath as it is prescribed by the
constitution:
“I do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute the office of presi-'
dent of the United States, and will to
the best of my ability preserve, pro-:
tect and defend the constitution of the
United States.”
Word for word, in the same slow
measure set by the solemn chief jus-
tice, the oath was repeated by Wood- |
row Wilson. i
This was the transition from presi- |

President Wilson Reviews Parade. |
The army of inauguration, 30,000
strong, swinging with measured tread |
to the blare of a brigade of bands,
marched in review from the caritol’
to the White House, a magnificent |
tribute of welcome to the administia-
tion of Woodrow Wilson.
High on either side of the avenue,
its buildings and reviewing stanls!
were packed with humanity, risin
from the solid masses along the curs |
to the dense throngs in balconie: |
windows and store tops. And throug
| this valley of humanity and color a |
| martial host
, president, senators and former sena-
i tors. Back of them, ranged in order, |
undulated and roll d|
along with the steady sweep of al
great river. {
As the procession took up ti!
march, the noted Essex troop, of N w |
Jersey, swung in behind the carrias |
in which President Wilson and form r|
President “aft rode. Then came Vice |
President sfarshall's carriage and be |
hind that the Black Horse troop, of |
Culver Military academy, prancing |
and bowing to the lively music. A |
roar of welcome opened up before th's |
whole party as it started and swep!
along behind it.
Then came Major General Wood, |
chief of staff of the army, and grand |
marshal of the military bodies. Then
the army contingent, headed by the |
West Point cadets; long straight lines |
of gray lacing the avenue, each line
stepping as one man, heads up, chests
high, plumes aflutter, rifle barrels glis-
tening. An ovation greeted them.
Tramping close behind came the
First Battaltion of Army Engineers,
the Seventeenth United States Infan-
try and band from Fort McPherson,
Ga., and a regiment of coast artillery
from Fort Monroe. The crack Seven-
teenth, in full marching order, a solid
column of full dress service blue,
swinging easily to the lively music of
their band, made a splendid appear-
ance,
Commanding no less interest than
the West Point cadets came the mid
shipmen from Annapolis. In their reg-
ulation short navy blue jackets and
tan leggings, the young sailors were
received with waves of cheers.
Then marched the second division,
made up of national guard details,
Delaware's troops led, headed by the
governor and his staff. New Jersey—
President Wilson's own state—sent its
entire organized militia establishment,
inciuding its battalion of naval re-
serves.
In line came the state troops of
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Mary-
land, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia,
North Carolina, Rhode Island, Maine,
Michigan, Ohio and other states.
indians a Striking Feature.
Cadets from the Carlisle Indian
school in their uniforms of cadet
blue, were a subject of remark in con-
trast with the remnant of their an-
cestors, who arched wrapped in multi
colored blankets and in full feathers
and war paint.
Cadet battalions from the Virginia
Military institute and Culver Military
academy brought up the rear of that
section.
The third division, made up of vet
eran and patriotic organizations, was
suggestive of the fast diminishing
ranks of the veterans of the north and
south. Both sections were represent:
ed, the nearby northern states and
the District of Columbia furnishing
the larger number of men in blue, with
here and there the men in gray min
gling with their former adversaries.
The fourth grand division, composed
of civic bodies, was probably the most
diverse of all. Two hundred cowboys
and Indians from Maricopa county,
Arizona, performed a perfect wild west
show along the line of march, throw-
ing lariats, giving exhibitions of trick
riding and broncho busting.

To say that these selections as a
whole gave the politicians and states-
men a new thrill in the shape of a
surprise would not adequately convey
the fact. Even William Jennings Bry-
an, who has the most important place
in the new cabinet, admitted the sen-
sation when he asked about the per-
sonalities of three or four of the men.
His interest justified the inference
that he had not been consulted by
President-elect Wilson in selecting all
the members of the cabinet.
The names of three of the men in
the list were not even heard of in
connection with cabinet places until
Monday. These were Franklin K.
Lane, a commissioner of interstate
commerce; David F. Houston, an agri-
cultural college president, of Missouri,
and Lindley M. Garrison, vice chan-
cellor of the New Jersey judiciary.
Bryan was not alone in seeking in-
formation concerning the identities of
all three men. Every member of con-
gress and politicians at the national
~apital! sought light of the same sort.
{t developed that the three men have
peen on the mental slate of the presi-
dent-elect for two weeks and that not
even his most intimate friends knew
of it.
Lane seems to have attracted the
attention of the president by his work
in the interstate commerce commis-
sion in handling railway problems.
Lane has never been conspicuous in
partisan politics, though he is a Dem-
ocrat.
Vice Chancellor Garrison ranks high
in the judicial organization of the
home staete of the president. He is a
personal friend of Mr. Wilson, who
holds him in the highest regard. Mr.
Wilson had “pegged” Vice Chancellor’
Garrison for the place of attorney gen-
eral. He finally prevailed on him to
take the place of war secretary.

Rears and Plunges Toward President's

One startling incident took place on
President Wilson's return to the White

A cavalryman’s horse reared toward
the president's carriage, and at one
time it looked as if he would plant
his forefeet in it.
A dozen troopers frantically rushed
to grasp the bridle, while President
Wilson calmly leaned out of the car-
riage and patted the frightened horse
on the neck.
