At M5 Mr. Wlhidn and. Mr, Marshall
ni-companled by the congressional com

short (irlvo to the White House. The
Culver and llsBox troops trotted ntonif
as their escort Tho students 'of
l'rlnee(6n and Virginia, In long lines on
either sldo. of the street, fell in behind
tho proccusloli and followed It to tli
" hits House. ,
The ride to tho White House was
finished between cheering lines of the
students- The jdirty whirled up the
ilrhc U- find President Tatt waiting to
welcome tho Inoomlng president and
vice president on. tho front portico. The
Princeton band played tho Junglo song

Tho official party quickly passed Into
tlin Whlto Houso to await the begin
ning of the drive to the cnpltol which
Was scheduled to begin halt an hour
ftitcr.
President Tnft. having In mind the In
coming president's eslro for simplicity,
escorted him to the Hast room of the
Whlto Houso instead of the BIuo room,'
which Is tho formal reception place of
dlBnlturlcs, Here Mr. Taft and Mr. Wll
soti chatted and Mr. Taft's well known
smilo- was much In evidence, '
Tho slay in'the Whlfo House was brief.
At 10.1? o'clock the ride to -tho cnpltol
began. In "tho first carriage woro Presi

In the marked, contrast of. tho riotous
scenes of" yesterday, when tho crowds
along Pennsylvania nVcnuo virtually
inobbod tho women In the suffrago pag

clear and tho presidential party rodo
along with sppctators not nearer than

At tho president-elect's request the num

drawing the presidential carriage broke
intp a trot and the troopers escorting It
utaited their horses In a canter. Tluu
tho carriage galloped up Capltol hill.
While the crowd along the route was

up to the main entrance of the capltol to

WASHINGTON, Ma roll f -Preeldent
Wilson delivered his Inaugural address
from the platform at the east front of the
cApttol Immediately after taking the oath
of office ns president of the United
StHtcs. He said:
'There has been a rhange of govern
ment. It began 'two years ago, when the
house of representatives becamo demo
cratic by a deelslvo majority. ,It has
now been completed. The senate, about
to assemble will also be democratic. The
offices of president and vlco president
hnve been put Into tho hands of doino
crsts. What does the change mean?
Thnt Is the question that Is uppermost
In our minds todrty. That Is the ques
tion I am going' to try to answer, In
order, If. I may, to Interpret the. occasion.
"It means much more than tho mere
success of a party. The success of a
party means llttlo except wlien the na
tion Is using that party for a large and
definite purpose. No one can' mistake
the purpose for which the nation now
seeks to use the democratic party. It
seeks to uso It to Interpret a change
In Its own plans and point of view.
Some old things' with which we had
grown familiar, and. which had begun
to creep Into tho very habit of our
thought and of our lives, have altered
their aspect as wo have latterly looked
critically upon them, with fresh, awak
ened eyes; have dropped their dltgulsos
and shown themselves alien and sinister.
Borne now things, as we look frankly upon
them, willing to comprehend their real
character, have come to assume the
aspect of things long believed In and
familiar, Bluff of our ow,ri convletlons.
Wo have been refreshed by a new In
sight Into our own life. , ,

When 'President Tnft and Mr. WJlson

whllo entered the spaces reserved for
them In tho senato galleries nnd wero tho
center of nil oyes., Mrs. Wilson wore n
tan cloth dress with a brown ribbed silk
colit and. a small hat to, match. Miss Mar
garet Wilson wore blue silk poplin, Miss
Jessie Wilson lavender broadcloth and
.Miss Klcanor .Wilson' bright blue cloth
dress.
UoiiKrcsa Heady to Adjourn,
At 11:30 o'clock committees from the
house and sonate waited on President
raft ln tho inarblo room and gave fonnnl
confirmation that congress was ready to
adjourn. Meanwhile those me.mbers of
the cabinet who did -not ride In the pro
cession tq the capltol gathered In the
president's room nnd said goodbye to
Mr. Taft and were Introduced to Mi1.
Wilson.
Neither Mrs. Taft nor any other mom-
ber of the president's family occupied the
apaco reserved for them In th senato
galleries or on the stand, at the east
front. Mrs. Taft and her daughter went
to tho home of Miss Mabel Uoardman to
nwalt tho coming of Mr. Taft after-.the'
Inauguration ceremonies, when they ull
depart for Augusta, Go.
Among the first bills President Taft
signed were tho rivers and harbors, pub
llo building, agriculture nnd general de
ficiency. Some of the officials, for whom' places
had been reserved on the floor ot the
senate chamber, began Tiling In before
tho senate had adjourned. ' The Inter
state Commerce commission was the flrtt
to enter, and .among' the commissioners
was Kranklln M. Lane, who will be sec
retary of tho Interior.
New Cabinet Ilepflns to Arrive.
All eyes were upon the ten chairs In
the senato floor, which were allotted to
Senator Wilson's cabinet Josephu
Daniels and William G. McAdoo wero tho
first to take seats there.
William J. Uryan and Pranklln IC. I-ane
then held a brief reception and then each
took a chair ln the "Cabinet row." Rep
resentative Itedfteld entered the chamber
a -moment later and took his place with
the other cabinet appointees.
President Taft meanwhile continued to
sign the appropriation bills until all had
been approved, with the exception of th
sundry civil bill, which he hud vetoed.
He let It be known that he would exer
cise the pocket veto on the seamen's in
voluntary servitude bill.
Clock In Turned Hack,
Tho senate was not ready to adjourn
at lioon, the hour set for the beginning
of the ceremonies ot InauguraUon ot tho
vice president, and the clock was set back
lu 11: a. in.
The sundry civil bill repassed In the
house was rushed over to the senate and
reached there at 11:55 o'clock. A sergeant-
at-arms grasped the long pole c-r.d turned
the hands of the clock back to ll;S a.
n. Senator Kail, however, was still fili
bustering.
The delay ln the senate's adjournmeit
set the Inauguration of Mr. Marshall
back fully a half hour and delayed Mr.
Wilson's as much. While the' senato was
working on the sundry civil bill the pro'
dentlal party waited tor tho 'word to enter
the chamber

The Justices of. the . supreme court,
headed by Chief Justice White, lu their

marked contrast to the brilliantly garbed
diplomats, followed.
Mr. Marshall entered the chamber for
the second time at 12:30 and took his seat,
prepared to be cnlled to tho rostrum to
take his oath. The ceremonies were then
thirty minutes behind schedule.
President Taft and Presldent-sleet Wil

minutes after Mr. Marshall. They took
seats In the front row.
When all tho guests wero assembled

to tho desk, and at 12:14 o'clock, took tho

While Vice President Marshall was

and Mr. Wilson were greeted with loud
cheers ns they cams uut, of doors.
Immediately In front ot tho presidential
platform Major General Wood and his
general staff held a space clear, Across
tho open space loomed" a battery- of
nearly a hundred cameras and motion
picture machines, trained, on the Uncle
spot where President Taft was to pass
his mantle of office to President-elect
Wilson. Back of the West Point cadets
stood the Essex troops, Preeldeat-elect
Wilson's guard of honor, and near them
the Black Horse troop of Culver,
The troops were prepared to give way
when the delivery ot the Inauguration
address began so that tho crowd might
