Dewey Hotel Fire Victims Many Less than Reported. Omaha, Neb. Men working In the ruins of the Dewey hotel, destroyed by fire last Friday, have failed to un earth any more bodies, and tho total still Is three dead with a score more or less seriously injured. That more bodies lie within the ruins Is merely conjectural and It will possibly be sev eral days before any other fatalities can bo definitely ascertained. "I hnnlly think further search will disclose more bodies than have been found," said Klro Chler Salter. "We know tho firemen saved about forty from tho burning building and that a number made their own way out. Should thero have been more we would havo found them In the rear part or tho building. That part has been thoroughly searched and men havo gono through under tho boards In tho front without finding others." With tho exception of Floyd O. Pry of Temple.

WILL RESTORE, NOT DESTROY New Chief Executive Says Change of Government Meana the Nation It Using Democratic Patry for Large and Definite Purpose. r Washington, Mnrch 4. Looking upon tho victory of tho Democratic party as tho inundate of tho nation to correct tho evils thnt havo been al lowed to grow up In our national life, 'President Wilson in his Inaugural ad dress today called on nil honest men ,to asstBt him In carrying out tho will of tho people. Following Is IiIb ad dress: Thero has been n change of govern imcnt. It began two years ago, when tho houso of representatives becuinu Democratic by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. Tho sen ate about to assemble will ulso bo Domocrutlc. Tho ofllces of president nnd vice-president have been put into the hnnds of Democrats. What does tho chango mean? That is tho ques tion that Is uppermost In our minds today. That Is tho question I am go Jng to try to nnswer, in order, It I may, to interpret tMb occasion. New Insight Into Our Life. It means much more than the mero success of a party. Tho success of u 'party means Uttlo except when tho 'nation Is using that party for a largo and 'dcflulto porposo. No ono can Tnlstako tho purposo for which tho nation now Becks to uso thq Demo cratic party. It Becks to uso It to In terpret a chango In its own plans and point of view. Somo old things with which wo had grown familiar, nnd which hnd begun to creep into tho "very habit of our thought and of our lives, have altered their aspect aa wo havo latterly looked critically upon thorn, with fresh, awakened eyes; havo dropped their disguises and shown themselves alien nnd sinister. (Somo now things, as wo look frankly upon thorn, willing to comprehend their real character, havo como to ns- Bumo tho aspect of things long believ ed in and familiar., stuff of our own convictions. Wo have boon refreshed by a now insight Into our own life. We Bee tliat In many things that llfo is very great. It la incomparably great In its material aspects, in its 'body of wealth, In tho diversity nnd weep of Its onorgy, in tho Industries 'which have been conceived and built up by tho genius of Individual men and tho limitless cntcrpriso of groups of men. It Is great, also, very great, iln its moral force. Nowhcro elso In the world havo noblo men and women exhibited In inoro striking form the beauty and energy of Bympathy and helpfulness and counsel In their efforts to rectify wrong, nllovlato suffering, and Bot tho weuk In tho way of strength and hopo. Wo havo built up, moreovor, a great system of govern ment, which has stood through a long ago as in many respects a'modol for 'those who seek to Bet liberty upon foundations that will endure against fortuitous chango, against storm and accident. Our llfo contains every great thing, and contains It in rich abundance. Human Cost Not Counted. Dut tho ovil has como with the good, and much lino gold has been corroded. With riches has como In excusable waste. Wo have squan dered a great part of what wo might havo used, and havo not stopped to iconsorvo tho exceeding bounty of na ture, without which our genius for en terprise would havo been worthless and Impotent, scorning to bo careful, shamefully prodigul as well as admir ably efficient. Wo havo been proud of flur industrial achievements, but wo Jhave not hitherto stopped thought fully enough to count tho human cost, tho cost of lives snuffed out, of ener gies ovortnxed and broken, tho fear 'ful physical and spiritual cost to tho men and women nnd children upon whom tho dead weight and burden of it nil has fallen pitilessly tho years through. Tho groans and agony or it all hnd not yet reached our ears, tho solemn, moving undertone of our life, coming up out or tho mines and fac tories and out of every homo whero tho struggle had its Intimate and fa miliar seat. With tho grout govern ment went many deep secret things which wo too long delayed to look into and scrutinize with candid, fear 'IcsB oyes. Tho great government wo loved hns too often been mndo uso of for prlvato and selfish purposes, and thoso who used it had forgotten tho people. At last n vision has been vouch, eafed us of our llfo ns a whole. Wo eo tho bad with tho good, tho do based and decadent with tho sound and vital. With this vision we ap proach now affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restoro, to correct tho evil without impairing tho good, to purify nnd humanize overy iprocesB of our common llfo without "weakening or Bcntlmontnliztug it. Ther. has been something crude nnd .hcnrtlcea nnd unfeeling in our hasto to succeed nnd bo great. Our thought has heon 'Let every man look out for him self, let every generation look out for Itself,' while wo renred giant machin ery which mndo It Impossible that any but thoso who Rtood at tho levers of control should hnve a chnnco to look out for themselves. Wo hnd not for gotten our morals. Wo rcmombcrcd well enough that wo bad set up a policy which was meant to servo tho humblest as well as tho most power ful, with an cyo single to tho stand ards of Justice nnd fair play, nnd re membered It with pride. Hut wo wero very heedless and in a hurry to be great. Chief Items In Program. Wo havo como now to tho sober second thought. The sca1; vi heed lessness havo fallen from our eyes. We havo made up our minds to square every procesn of our national llfo again with -the standards we so proud ly set up at tho beginning and havo alwnys carried nt our hearts. Our work is a work of restoration. Wo have itemized with some degree of particularity the things that ought to bo altered nnd here arc some of tho chief Items: A tariff which cuts us off from our proper part In tho commerce of tho world, vIolntoH the Just principles of taxation, und mnkes tho government n facile Instrument In tho hnnds of privnte interests; n bank ing nnd currency system based upon tho necessity of tho government to sell its bonds fifty yenrs ago and per fectly adapted to concentrating cash and restricting credits; an Industrial system which, take it on all its sides, financial an well as administrative, holds capital In leading strings, re stricts tho liberties and limits the op portunities of labor, and exploits with out renewing or conserving tho nat ural resources of tho country; a body or. agricultural activities never yei given tho efficiency of great business undertakings or served ns It should be through the Instrumentality of science taken directly to tho farm, or afforded tho facilities of credit best suited to Its practical needs; water courses un developed, waste places unreclaimed, forests untended, fust disappearing; without plan or prospect of renewal, unregarded waste heaps at every mine. We have studied ns perhaps no other nation has the most effectivo mean? of production, but we havo not studied, cost or economy ns wo should either as organizers of Industry, as stutes men, or as Individuals. Matters of Justice. Nor havo wo studied and perfected the means by which government may, he put at the servlco of humanity, In safeguarding tho health of tho nation, tho health of Its men und its women and Its children, as well ns their rights, in tho strugglo for existence. This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. Theso aro matters of Justice. Thero can be no equality or opportunity, tho first essential of Justice in tho body politic, If men and women and chil dren be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the conse quences of grout industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control or singly copo with.

Sanitary laws, pure food laws, and laws .determining conditions of labor which individuals are powerless to determlno for themselves aro intl mate parts of tho very business of jua tice and legal eiUclency. These are some of the things we ought to do, and not leave tho othors undone, tho old-fashioned, never-to-be-neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property and of individual right. This Is the high enterprise of the new day; to lift everything thnt concerns our llfo as a nation to tho light that shines from tho hoarthUro of every man's conscience and vision of tho right. It 1b inconcelvablo that we should do this aa partisans; it Is in concelvablo wo should do it In ignor ance of tho facts as they aro or In blind hasto. Wo shall restore, not do Btroy. Wo shall deal with our econ omic system as it Is and as it may bo modified, not as it might be if wo had a clean sheet or paper to wrlto upon; nnd step by step wo shall make it what It should be, In tho spirit of thoso who question their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self-satlsfactlou or tho excite ment of excursions whither they can not tell. Justice and only Justice, shall always bo our motto. ' Task Not One of Politics. And yet it will bo no cool process of mero sclenco. Tho nation has been deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn paBblon, stirred by tho knowledge of wrong, of ideals lost, of government too often debauched and mndo an In strument 'of evil. Tho feelings with which wo face this new ago of right nnd opportunity sweep across our heart-Btrlngs like somo air out of Ood'a ow: presence, whero Justice and mercy are reconciled and tho Judgo nnd tho brother aro one. Wo know our task to bo no mero task of politics, but a , task which shall search us through and through, whether wo bo nblo to understand our time and tho need of our peoplo, whether wo bo in deed their spokesmen nnd interpre ters, whether wo havo tho piuo heart to comprehend und tho rectified will to chooso our high course of action. This is not a day of triumph; it is a day of dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party, but tho forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us; men's lives hung In tho balance; men's hopes call upon us to say what wo will do. Who shall live up to tho great trust? Who dares fall to try?

MARSHALL SWORN IN FIRST Simple Ceremony In Senate Chamber Followed by More Impressive Affair on East 'Portico of the Capitol. By, GEORGE CLINTON. Washington, March 4. In tho pres ence of a vast throng of his fellow citi. zens, Woodrow Wilson today stood in front of the east portico of the capltol nnd took tho oath of president of tho United States. Thomas It. Marshall already had been sworn In as vice president, and with the completion of tho ceremony tho ship of state wus manned by tho Democratic party, which had been ashore for sixteen years. As tho new chief executive of the nation stood with bared head, Ed ward DougluBS White, chief justice of the Supreme court, held before him the lllble always used In the cere mony. Mr. Wilson placed his hands upon the book und in a voice strong, though somewhat affected by emotion, swore to support the Constitution and the laws of the country and to perform the duties of his high office to the best of Jits ability. Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal ty to tho Constitution and to the people in tho senate chamber, wheie for four years It will bo his duty to preside over the deliberations of the members or tho upper bouse of con gress. Severely Simple Ceremonies. Both of the ceremonies proper were conducted in a severely simple but most Imprcssivo manner. The sur roundings or the scene of tho presi dent's Induction into office, however, wero not so simple, for It was an out-of-door event und the grcnt gathering or military, naval and uniformed civil organizations gave much more than a itouch of splendor to tho scene. In tho senate chamber, where the the oath was taken by the man now vice-president of tho United States, there were gathered about ",000 people, ull that tho upper houso will contain without the risk of danger because of the rush and press of the multitudes. It Is probable that no where elso In tho United States at any timo nro there gathered un equal number of men and women, whose names are so widely known. The gathering in tho senate chamber and later dn the east portico of tho capl tol was composed largely of thoso prominent for their services in Amer ica, and in part of foreigners who havo secured places for their names In tho current history of tho world's doings. The arrangements of the ceremonies for the Inauguration of Woodrow Wil son and Thomas Riley Marshall were mado by the joint committeo on ar rangements of congress. The senate President Woodrow Wilson. , section or tills committeo was ruled by a majority of Republicans, but there is Democratic testimony to the fact that tho Republican senators were willing to outdo their Democratic brethren in tho work or mnking or derly and Impreselvo tho Inaugural ceremonies In honor of two chieftains of the opposition, Ride to the Capitol. President Taft and President-elect Wilson rode together from the Whlto Houso to the capltol, accompanied by two members of tho congressional committeo of arrangements.' Tho vice-president-elect also rodo rrom tho White House to tho capltol and In tho carriage with him wero the senate's president pro tempore, Senator Paeon of Georgia, and thrco members or the congressional committee of arrange ments. The vice-president-elect took the oath just beforo noon in accordance with custom nnd prior to its taking by tho president-elect. Every arrange ment for the senate chambor pro ceedings had been mado bo that thoy moved forward easily and with a cer tain ponderous grace. Marshall Sworn In. ; The admission to the senate cham ber to witness tho oath-taking of the vice-president was 'by ticket, and It is needless to say every seat was ZsW' ' . lAi!K19klsH8t' occupied. On tho floor of tho cham ber wero many former members of tho seuato who, because of the fact thnt thoy oncn held membership In that body, weto given tho privileges of the door. After the halt was filled and all tho minor nlllcluls of govern ment and those privileged to witness the ceremonies wero seated. William II. Taft and Woodrow Wilson, preced ed by tho sergeant-nt-nrniB and tho committeo or arrangements, entered tho Bcnuto chamber. Thoy were fol lowed Immediately by Vice-Presidentelect Thomas H. Marshall, leaning upon the arm of the president pro temporu of tho senate who, nfter tho seating of tho Incoming vlco-prealdent. took his plnco ns presiding officer of tho senato nnd of the day's proceed ings. The president nnd the president elect sn( in the first row of scats di rectly In front and almost under tho desk of the presiding officer. In the same row, but to their left, wero the vlce-picsldent-clect nnd two former vice-presidents of tho United States, Levi P. Morton of New York nnd Ad lal A. Stevenson of Illinois. When tho distinguished company en tered the chamber the senate was still under Its old organization. The oath of office was immediately admin istered to Vlcc-Presldent-elect Man shall, who thereupon became Vice President Marshall. The prnyer or the day was given by the chaplain or the senate, Rev. Ulysses G. U. Pierce, pas nl ,-c-i.r '"0 ' "-? & Vice-President Marshall. tor of All Souls' Unitarian church, of which President Taft has ben a mem ber. After tho prayer the vice-president administered tho oath of office to all tho newly chosen senators, nnd therewith tho senate of tho United States pasced for tho first time in years into the control of the Demo cratic party. Procession to"the Platform. Immediately after the senate cere monies a procession waB formed to march to the platform of tho east por tico of the capltol, whero Woodrow Wilson was to take tho oath. The pro cession included the president and the president-elect, members of the Su preme court, both houses of congress, ull of the foreign ambassadors, all of tho heads of tho executive depart ments, many governors of states and territories, Admiral Dewey of tho navy and several high officers of the I sea service, tho chief of staff of the army and many distinguished persons from civil life. They wero followed by tho members of the press and by those persons who had succeeded in secur ing seats in the sennto galleries to witness the day's proceedings. When President Taft and tho president-elect emerged from tho capltol on to the portico they saw In front of them, reaching far back into the park to tho east, an immenso con course of citizens. In the narrow lino between the onlookers and the pint form on which Mr. Wilson was to tako the oath, wero drawn up tho cadets of the two greatest government schools, West .Point and Annapolis, and flanking them were bodies of reg ulars and of national guardsmen. The whole scone was charged with color and with life. On reaching tho platform the presi dent and president-elect took the seats reserved for them, seatB which wero flanked by many rows pt benches rising tier on tier for tho accommoda tion of the friends und families of the officers of tho government and of the press. Oath Administered to Wilson. Tho Instant thnt Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson camo within sight or the crowd thero wns n grent outburst or ap plause, and tho military bands otruck quickly into "Tho Star Spauglcd Ban ner." Only a row bnrB or tho music were played and then soldiers nnd ci vilians becamo silent to witness ro spectrully tho oath taking and to listen to the address which followed. Tho chief Justice of tho Supremo court delivered tho oath to tho president-elect, who, uttering tho words,' "I will," becamo president of tha United States. As soon as this cere mony was completed Woodrow Wilson dollvered his inaugural address, his first speech to his fellow countrymen In tho capacity of their chler execu tive. - At tho conclusion of tho speech tho bands played onco more, nnd William Howard Taft, now ox-presldent of the United States, entered a carriage with the now president and, reversing the ordor of an hour heroro, sat on the left hand aldo or tho cnrrlage, while Mr. Wilson took "tho seat or honor" on tho right. The crowds cheered as they drove nwny to tho Whlto House, which Woodrow Wilson entered us the occupant nnd which William H.
