Washington Thronged with People Seeing or Participating in Dem- ocratic Inaugural, GREATEST PARADE IN HISTORY Nearly Every State of the Union Rep- resented by Troops, Militia or Citizen’s Clubs. NO CABINET APPOINTMENTS YET Will Be- Sent to Senate Wednesday and Made Public at That Time —Sky Cloudy. BY United Press. Washington, March 4.—A dull, overcast sky with sodden clouds was the inaugural canopy which greeted President-elect Wilson this morning. ‘There was a tinge of early spring in the air. Clouds which might pour or break away into sunshine hung over the city. " @ 1912, by American Press Assoclation. . WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, The Former President’s Smile Did Not Fade as He Responded to Fnend]y Salutations. Wilson will not send his cabinet nominations to the senate until Wed- nesday morning ag the senate is sit- ting today for the sole purpose of swearing in the new vice president. The personnel of the cabinet is known only to Wilson and will not be made public until the list is sent in. A half-million lusty-lunged Ameri- cans acclaimed, in typical American fashion, a new ruler. A tall, slender man, wreathed in smiles, standing in his carriage bowing and waving to a mile of densely packed humanity was the object of the ovation. This was| ‘Woodrow Wilson—President Wood- row Wilson. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall had his share of the ap- plause, too. Following the exact path of twen- ty-seven former presidents, President CAPT. A. E. 0TTO. Bemidji Man Who Was Aide to Gen. J. E. Stewart, one of the Marshalls of the Inaugural Parade. The parade was composed of four “grand” divisions. ~ First was the army and navy, with nearly 7,000 men; second, the state militia, with about 12,000 men; third, war veter- ans, and fourth, civic organizations. Every state and almost every large city of the nation sent its quota to swell the stream of splendor. Formed at Daybreak. Forming about the capitol dawn this morning, the parade be- gan shortly before 1:30 o’clock. While President Wilson was deliver- ing his inaugural address, thousands of troops began forming the line of march through the capitol grounds. Preceded by a squad of 100 mounted motoreycle and bicycle policemen, the head of the parade extended eight blocks to the Peace Monument, at the foot of Pennsylvania-ravenue, before President Wilson, Vice President Marshall and fifty carriages filled with members of the supreme court, senate, house, inaugural committee- men, relatives of the incoming execu- since ‘| equal opportunity and the vote cast THOUSANDS CHEER AS NEW PRESIDENT | CLOSES WEDNESDAY KISSES BIBLE AFTER TAKING HIS OATH| . v o cae seston ot e new federal building will close at noon Wednesday.

The count should be finished by noon Wednesday. ..50 27 BAD FIRE IN CROOKSTON _Saturday evening, shortly after ten o’clock, fire was discovered in the Royal Blue shoe store of Crookston, and despite the quick work by the department, the $8,000 stock was ruined by fire, water and smoke in less than an hour. The fire was hard to combat because of the dense smoke. The origin is supposed to have been an air tight wood stove in the workroom at the rear, though J. L. Lundahl, who left at 10:10, says the fire was out when he left and that the fire must have started where the pipe enters the chimney. TODAY’S PROGRAM, < 8:30_a. m.—President-elect Wilson tives, and political leaders filed in front of the capitol after the formal inaugural ceremonies there. * President Wilson with former Pres- ident Taft seated at his left, occupied the foremost carriage. It drew away from the capitol reviewing stand with the Essex cavalry troop as an escort, while Vice President Mar- shall, escorted by the Culver Military Academy “Black.Horse Hussars,” of Indiana, drew in behind. In front of the presidential car- riage and its escort was Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, grand marshal of the parade, his staff and thirty aides. ‘Wood wore a voluminous white sash. Red sashes were worn by his staff, Lieut. Col. H .T. Allen, chief of staff, and Lieut. Col. H. C. Hodges, adju- tant general. The aides, including high officers from each branch of the army and navy service ,wore white sashes. All were resplendent with gold lace, medals, plumes and were astride richly caparisoned mounts— the finest horseflesh in the “service.” Wilson Gets Mighty Cheers. As the grand marshal approached the Peace Monument, cheering swept in mighty volume up the entire length of Pennsylvania avenue. It broke into an uproar when President Wil- son’s carriage appeared. The incom- Wilson was the central figure of the!ing executive was forced continually pomp and pageantry of the greatest inaugural parade ever assembled on historic Pennsylvania avenue. It was an observance of the precedents of generations. From the steps of the inaugural re- | viewing stand at the capitol, with the | kiss of the Bible in the hands of Chief Justice White still warm upon his lips, President Wilson was the ob- ject of tumultuous and vociferous ap- plause as he led the pageant of 50,- 000 soldiers, sailors, and civilians to them. The greatest crowd that ever greet- ed an incoming president and vice president shouted itself hoarse. Three hundred thousand Washingtonians and visitors, estimated at 200,000, viewed the spectacle. Represented in the ranks of march- ers were the army, navy, West Point and Annapolis cadets, governors and their staffs, 100 bands, veterans .of many wars, political clubs, Tammany “braves,” cowboys, college men, and suffragettes. It was replete with startling, novel and unique features, from Virginia foxhounds, Indian braves and college glee _clubs to crowds of temperance “white ribbon- ers.” Specially predominant was the col- lege atmosphere—education’s tribute to a great educator, President Wilson. Thousands of college men, alumni of practically every great university, and college of the country, were = in to acknowledge the plaudits of the throngs packing both - sides of the avenue, a sea of waving flags and bunting. Following custom, ex-President Taft sat with his hat on throughout the nde, even ignoring an occasional OB _Luat_pag HIS SUITCASE WAS USED Through an error in information, the Pioneer last night stated that a gun was pulled in the Thome saloon the White House and there reviewed | over money troubles. It appears that the man with the gun was mad be- cause his suit case had been used for a seat and that money did not enter and his family breakfasted with his cousin, John E. Wil- son, at Shoreham hotel. 10:00 a. m.—Escorts of president- elect and vice president-elect formed at hotel, headed by Grand Marshal Wood and staff. 10:30 a. m.—Wilson and Marshall left hotel for White House. 10:46 a. m.—Ride from White McCUAIGS PLEA IS VOTED DOWN i City Council Granted License to F. 8.

This feeling was further strengthened when Alderman Crippen last night remarked that if the lights were taken-out of the jail, “the new police won’t go in in the dark.” Investigate Licenses. Mayor McCuaig, in his address to thre council, said that the responsibil- ity for various conditions which exist in the city is so divided that the citl- zens hesitate to give notice of a con- dition which should receive attention. He urged that all applications for " liquor licenses be thoroughly inves- tigated. He stated that it would be e the policy of his administration to 2 see that every saloon was run accord- bae ing to law. He urged the council not 3 to grant a license to replace one re- voked.
