PROBALY PASS CENSUS BILL This Matter, the Statehood Bill and Other Measures Are Likely to Be Considered., Washington, D. C. When congress meets on the 15th Inst., upon the call of the president to consider a revi sion of the tariff, there will be no constitutional restrictions upon the nature of the business that may he transacted. It is generally conceded that at least two months will be re quired for the representatives to conclude consideration of all' the schedules involved in this legislation. The house itself will not receive, the bill for some weeks, as the commit tee on way and means will require considerable time to report the meas ure. During this long period the senate will have nothing to do in respect to the tariff, and even after the bill leaves the house it will be in the hands of the committee on finance for some time before the senate actually gets possession of it, and the debate begins. Then will be gin a long wait by the house of rep resentatives until the state amend ments can be known and conferees appointed to bring about an agree ment upon them. This procedure will result in each house having to remain in session with nothing to do in relation to the tariff covering a period of a couple of months. Three days is the extent of a recess that may be taken by either body. In view of the extended period of inactivity that would face each house should nothing be considered except the tariff, many senators are consid ering the advisability of entering up on other legislation which they be lieve ought to be passed in time to send it over to the house when that body has disposed of its bill and will only have to wait for senate action on the tariff. The advocates of poctal savings banks have talked of the pos sibility of such a policy being adopted ever since they becam- aware of their inability to secure legislation in the last session of congress. There are many earnest advocates of a change of date in the inaugura tion from March 4 until a later day, when favorable weather is likely to prevail. Senator Depew took the first legislative step in favor of such a change when he introduced a reso lution proposing an amendment to the constitution to change the date of the Inauguration from "March 4 to the last Wednesday in April. Advocates of statehooa for New Mexico and Arizona were greatly dis appointed that no progress could be made toward the enactment of an enabling act during the last session and they are restless over any propo sition to delay action until the regu lar session of congress because they fear that the mass of legislation that will then come up will crowd their claims to the bacitsround. The president's veto of the census bill make mandatory some action to provide for the enumeration of the thirteenth census, and while legisla tion might be delayed until early next winter, some of those who are interested in tbe passage believe that the extra session would give an ad mirable opportunity to dispose of it.

STORM KING RULES W INAUGURATION INDUCTION OF NEW CHIEF OF NATION INTO OFFICE IN SENATE. ELEMENTS SMASH PROGRAM Oath Administered in Chamber of Upper Branch of Congress Instead of on East Portico of Capitol Build ing as Previously Planned by Com mittee on Arrangements Sherman Sworn In as Vice-President Bad Weather Interferes with Parade and Disrupts All Plans of New Chief Executive. Washington. President William Howard Taft's first move at the spe- clal session of congress will be to cut the weather man off the payroll. Mr. Taft became President Taft Thursday afternoon at 12:55, the inaugural ceremony being held in the senate chamber, instead of on the east portico of the capitol building, on account of a terrific snow and sleet storm which raged here for nearly 24 hours. And the day before the weather man had predicted sun shine. Washington for nearly 12 hours had been cut off from all wire communi cation with the rest of the world be cause of the sleet storm which fol lowed on the heels of a fall of several inches of snow. But for all that the ceremony was carried out in the crowded senate chamber in a manner which was as solemn as the inclement weather con- ditlons would permit. But the pro gram which had previously been laid out for the inaugural folk to follow was smashed, disrupted and thrown aside with the result that the time worn adage of "bright sunshine for Inaugural day" was cast into the Taft waste basket. A few minutes before President Taft took the oath of office in the senate chamber Vice-President James S. Sher man was inducted into office. This process took but a few minutes, and then there was a solemn parade of senators, representatives, government officials and others interested in the ceremony. Ceremony Is Formal. The ceremony of the Inauguration was accomplished with all due formal ity and finality, but under most un usual conditions owing to the terrific blizzard which swept over the na tional capital, paralyzing street traf fic, destroying communication with the outside world, and bringing dismay to the thousands of assembled visitors' who had gathered In expectation of the usual spectacular demonstration. Not withstanding the adverse conditions, efforts were made to carry out all of the main features of the inauguration. The main change was in modifying the original program so that the inaugural address, usually delivered from the east portico of the capitol, was pronounced by Mr. Taft in the senate chamber. "Blizzard to the End." When Mr. Taft and President Roose velt met in the breakfast room, Mr. Taft's greeting to the man he was so soon to succeed, was: "Mr. President, even the elements protest." "Mr. President-elect," quickly re joined Mr. Roosevelt, "I knew there would be a blizzard clear up to the minute I went out of office." Notwithstanding the fury of the storm outside, there was happiness -,nd cheer inside the White House up to the moment that Mr. Taft and Presi dent Roosevelt started for the capitol. Vice-President Fairbanks and the en tire membership of President Roose velt's cabinet had arrived by a quar ter of ten. Good Newspaper's Influence. The influence of the right kind of a newspaper must be corrective. Evils and abuses, some small, some great grow up on every hand. The rights of individuals and the rights of the pub .ic are constantly being undermined through ignorance, and assailed by graft and greed. The newspaper with a helpful policy must ever be vigilant to. warn and ready to fight against these attacks. From the Philadelphia North American's "Confessions of a Newspaper " The Missing Nine. The humorous aspects which seri ous things often take, by reason of some coincidence or happening, was well Illustrated not long ago in a New England college. The baseball nine of this college had gone to a neighbor ing town on Saturday afternoon to meet a university nine, and bad come back with the discouraging report or "no runs." The college was feeling sore and subdued when it assembled on the fol lowing morning for chapel services, gJYLLMM . Tir7 jf JXrtEJ J. SfifRMAN J President Roosevelt and Mr. Tan left the White House at 10:10 a. m. on their journey to the capitol. As he came out of the front door Mr. Roose velt bade good-by to the various offi cers and attendants who were gath ered on the portico. Mr. Taft fol lowed. The president was first to en ter the carriage, taking the right hand seat. Wind Destroys Decorations. The wjnd thrashed many of the city's prettiest decorations to threads. The immense reviewing stands along the line of march were made well-nigh uninhabitable by the swirling snow. Street car and railroad traffic were Im peded to the extent of seriously delay ing the arrival of thousands who had planned to attend the inaugural cere monies. President-elect and Mrs. Taft spent last night at the White House as the guests of President and Mrs. Roose velt. "I always knew it would be a cold day when I was made president of the United States," was the laughing re mark of Mr. Taft as he looked out of the White House windows on one of the prettiest winter pictures ever seen. The snow, clinging to the trees and shrubbery, had transformed the White House grounds into a veritable fairy land of dazzling white and fantastic forms. Parade Despite Elements. Despite the storm conditions unusu al! previous efforts at decorative ef ration of Mr. Taft and Washington was thronged with people eager to see the magnificent spectacle. All day Pennsylvania avenue was packed with the crowds. The scene was one of constant movement and constant color. The red, white and blue floated from every flagpole and fell as drapery from every cornice. The inaugural commit tee succeeded this year in outdoing all previous efforts at decoratice ef fect. In the line of march leading from the capitol up Pennsylvania avenue, past the great treasury building and White House there were nearly 4,000 regular troops and twice as many members of the National Guard of the different states and independent mili tary organizations. The civic fea tures of the parade were many. The trades, the professions and all kinds of business activities were represent ed by thousands of persons who came to Washington to do honor to the country's new civil chief. Sherman Sworn In First. Early in the day the president-elect met the out-going president in the White House. About an hour before noon the congressional committee of arrangements, consisting of Senators Knox. Lodge and Bacon, and Repre sentatives Burke, Young and Gaines, arrived at the executive mansion and informed the president and the president-elect that congress was in "readi ness for the ceremonies of the actual inauguration. Escorted by a guard of honor of veterans, Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft and the several committees then drove to the capitol, where they were met by Vice-President Fairbanks and Mr. Sherman. All went to the senate chamber, where, after prayer by Ed ward Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate, Mr. Sherman took the oath of office as vice-president and delivered his inaugural address. He then ad ministered the oath to the newly elected United States senators. Present on the floor of the senate chamber were many former senators of the United States, who have the privilege of the senate at all- times owing to the fact of once having held I membership in the body. Taft Is Made President. The white-haired chief justice of the United States. Melville W. Fuller, administered the oath of office in the senate chamber to Mr. Taft, who, when he had taken It, bent and kissed the Bible held in the hand of his country's chief jurist. Immediately following the taking of the oath. Presi dent Taft delivered his inaugural ad dress. The president's speech frequently was interrupted by applause and at its close the great assembly broke into cheers. XMM"WWWWWWWWIWWKW Races That Are Beardless.
