Washington, March 3.— Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey has come to Washington to be inaugurated tomor- row the twenty-eighth president of the United States. His trip was a triumphal entry, the Pent-up democratic enthusiasm of six- teen vears concentrating seemingly at the gateway of the nation’s capital and bursting forth in a joyful acclaim. In White House for First Time. Within less than two hours after his grrival, Mr. Wilson, for the first tima his life, crossed the threshold of White House and grasped the hand William Howard Taft, president of he United States for a few hours longer. With Mrs. ‘Wilson, the presi- dent-elect was escorted to the home which will be theirs tomorrow by Col- onel Spencer Cosby shortly before 6 o'clock In the evening. The president and Mrs. Taft awaited their coming and extended them their cordial greet- ing and the keys to the home of presi- dents. Occupy Entire Floor of Hotel. Before visiting the White House, the ‘Wilsons received Vice President-elect #nd Mrs. Marshall, Governor Sulzer of New York, Governor Pothler of Rhode Jsland and staff and a few personal friends. First, however, immediately #fter their arrival at the hotel, the president-elect, Mrs. Wilson and their daughters joined in an informal reun- fon with other members of the family Who have gathered from different part~ of the country. An entire floor of the hotel i3 occupied by the mem- bers of the family, who dined later in the evening as the guests of John Wil- ®on of Franklin, Pa., cousin of the future president. Tonight, as an alumnus of Princeton university, the man who is to guide the destinies of the nation was tho honor guest of the alumni of his alma mater at a smoker. Today’s Ceremonies. The city tonight was alive with en- thusiasm and thousands gayly parad- ed the electrically @mblazoned streets. Constantly arriving throngs of visit- ors, military organizations and march- ing clubs served to keep excitement elive far into the night, the coming of Tammany Braves from New York, their first invasion of Washington for twenty yvears, marking the climax of the pre-inaugural demonstrations. President-elect Wilson has reserved a fow minutes tomorrow in_ which to Ereet the newspapermen of the coun- try. At 9.30 he will receive the in- eugural committee of consress, Sena- tors Crane, Overman and Bacon and Representatives McKinley, Rucker and| Garrett, who will escort Him, with the vice president-elect, to the White House.

Taft to Ride With Wilson. After the new president has deliver- ed his address the inaugural parads will wind its way through the streets walled with cheering humanity to the White House. Mr. Taft will ride with the new president, bidding him fare- well as soon as they reach the end of the journey. The -arade will then balt while the presidential party is at luncheon, . to proceed egain through the court of honor when the presiden:. and vice president reach the raviewing stand, about 2 o'clock. By 5 o'clock the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson will have been history. Students Stand with Bared Heads. esident-elect Wilson’s arrival in shington was quite similar to his leparture from Princeton. Students of Princeton university formed in a narrow lane stretching from the train steps to the president’s room in the Union station. ‘There was deep silence as the pres- ident-elect, followed by members of his family walked through the avenue formed by the students. The latter stood with their hats off. Mr. Wilson &Tso doffed his silk hat. Walking with him were William Corcoran Kustis, chairman of the inaugural committee, and Thomas Nelson Page, chaizman of the Wilson reception committee. Persistent Cheering by Students. In the president’s room Mr. Wilson was Introduced to the fifty members of the reception committee while the students grouped themselves on the esplanade just outside the station. Here, as Mr. Wilson got into a White House automobile, cheer after cheer came from the Princeton students. First they-gave the “locomotive” chee: with its “Sis-Boom-Ah” for “Wilson, and then for “Princeto They alter- mated this with a thundering roar un- til the president-elect started away. Colonel Spencer C. Cosby, chief aide to President Taft, and a naval and a military aide, accompanied Mr. Wil- son from the White House to his ho- tel. There were cheers along the way as pedestrians recognized the party. Captain “Bill” McDonald Greeted. * The first person to greet the pres- {dent-elect and Mrs. Wilson on_the steps of the hotel was Captain “Bfll” McDonald, the aged Texas ranger and bodyguard to Mr. Wilson during the recent campaign. “How are you?’ 'exclaimed the pres- fdent-elect and Mrs. Wilson at the same time as they stepped rapidly forward and srasped Captain McDon- eld's hands. The captaln who it is frequently sald in Texas is filled with #0 much lead from shooting affrays in the ranger service that he would sink it he went swimming was over- come wita joy. He wore a big felt © combrero an incongruous companion to the silk hat of the presidentselect. A Call by the Marshalls. “I'q never a-died happy if I hadn't been here today” said Captain “Bill” as he walked arm in arm into the hotel with Mr. Wilson. _The president-eleet found the cor- ridors of the hotel crowded with Princeton alumni wearing orange and black rosettes. The Wilsons went im- mediately to their suite on the fourth of the president-elect and a score of relatives were waliting to receive them. The president-elect haq been in_his rooms but a few minutes when Vice President-elect Marshall and Mrs. Marshall called to pay thelr respects. Heme-like Atmosphers on Train. Mr. Wilson's three and a haif hour trip from Princeton to the national capital seemed like a moment to him, he sald. He found aboard the train which the students had provided espe- clally for him, every comfort and con- venience. They had invited also some of the intimate friends of the -Wil- son family, and the latter found them- selves in a home-like atmosphere all the way. Mr. Wilson sat in the rear parlor car with his family, chatting most of the time with his friends. Colonel Thomas H. Birch, personal aide to Mr. Wilson, as governor of New Jer- sey, appeared for the first time i gold braid uniform. It was one of the rare occasions when Mr. Wilson was ac- companied by a uniformed aide and he was somewhat uneasy over it. When his chief came into the smoking com- partment, the colonel rose ceremoni- ously. The White House Baby. “Don’t start that,” laughed Mr. Wil- son good naturedly. “T'm nobody yet.” It was a happy family group on the train. With Mrs. Annie Howe, a sis ter of the president-elect, who joined the party at West Philadeiphia, came her “deughter, Mrs. Perrin Cothran, and granddaughter, Josephine. The Cothran baby is a favorite with the president-eiect and probably will be a frequent visitor at the White House, Little Josephine was the object of much attention from the family and when the train stopped at Baltimore she occupled a conspicuous place at the window from which vantage point she struck up an immediate acquaint- ance with the crowd.

He even sent a machine gun platoon to the international line. A False Alarm. There was some firlng near the line late today, caused by an attempt of the negro troops to intercept what was supposed to bo a detachment of Mexl- can troops crossing the line. It proved to be a party of Mexicans gathering firewood with pack animals. No one was wounded. Sunday’s Skirmish. Accoording to the army officers, Lieutenant Nicholson and his 15 men were fired upon Sunday without warn- ing by 75 Mexican federals. The pa- trol returned the fire, but in a few minutes retreated to the Calumet and Arizona smelter and sent for rein- forcements. Troops B and F, under Captain Arm- strong, responded with a machine sun and 120 rounds of ammunition per man. At sight of the reinforcements the Mexicans again began firing. Tha troopers replied vigorously and a gen- eral engagement was soon on. -The opposing forces were in skirmish lines 200 yapds apart, with the international line bétween them. After 30 minutes the Mexicans retreated range of the troopers’ rifies. Americans did mot cross the line. Rebel Messenger Arrested. An incident which preceded the skir- mish, and which 1s belleved by some observers to have some connection with it, was the arrest by the border patrol ‘Saturday afternoon of Juan Castillo as he was trying to cross from the Amerlcan side to Agua Prieta with messares from B. Callos, leader of the Maderista junta in Douslas, to his followers in Sonors.

The prisoner fled on release, Mrs. Mills Has Left Hospital SLIPS AWAY WITHOUT NOTIFY- ING POLICE. HER CASE PUZZLING Police Still Working on Footpad The- ory, But Admit Themselves Unable to Make Much Headway. Chicago, March 3.—Mrs. Mabel Mills, wife of & real estate dealer of San Antonio, Texas, whose mysterious loss of more than $40,000 presumably elther by robbery or accident Saturday night, stirred the police of Mvanston, a sub- urb, to an extended imvestigation of the’ circumstances, today left the hos- pital to which she had been taken when found dazed und injured and her pres- ent whereabouts is as much of a mys- tery as that of the large sum of money which so strangely disappeared. May Have Gone to St. Louis. Mrs. Mills left early in the after— noon without giving the police notice although she had promised Chief Shaf- fer she would communicate with him when she decided to depart. The chief did not learn that she had left until nightfall, when be telephoned to In- quire about her condition. He was then told she had been gone several hours. - The belief at present is that Mrs. Mills left Chicago tonight for St. Louis, where she had previously told the police she had some business to transact. Police More Puzzied Than Ever. Searching the ground where Mrs. Mills says she struggled for more than an hour and a half in the snow and under porches where it was hoped the money, all in $1,000 bills, might have been blown by the gale, the police af- ter interviewing the woman at o hos- pital, announced they had discovered these facts, which they said only puz- zled them. Could Not Have Bsen Unconscious. Mrs. Mills says she became con- scious only when she was belng picked up on the porch of Mrs. A. J. Cooper to which she had crawied, whereas Chiet of Police Shaffer of Evanston said he had good authority for Atat- ing that the bruise on the back of the woman's head was not sufficient to have rendered her unconsclous and the physicians at the hospital said Mrs. Mills could not have lost consclousness from any other cause. Indifferent About Loss of Money. The envelope in which Mrs. Mills sald she carried the money on the street and which vras found empty had not been- scaled, Although it was one of the regular safuty deposit envelopes taken frem a hotel where she had been stopping and where the clerk sald he had seen the money sealed. Mrs. Mills told the police she was indifferent about the loss of the money 2nd said she wanted to leave the city. She announced she might be in St Louis by tomorrow. After going thor- oughly into the case Chief Shaffer said he had no basls upon which to make any arrests. Police Chief Skeptical. “T told Mrs. Mills that belng a prac- tical business woman accustomed to handle large sums of money, as_she said she had in her real estate deal- ings in San Antonlo, it appeared to me unusual that she should have ven- tured to walk along a dark suburban street with $41,000 in cash In her pock- etbook,” sald Chief Shaffer. “She only Tepeated her previous story that she bad been to dinmer at the home of Mrs. Stevens, a friend, that she was on her way to a railway station ,when, discovering .she had left her ticket and some money at Mrs. Stevens’, she returned to get what she had left. It was on her way back that she said e lost the money. The woman does not Insist she was robbed. She says she became unconsclous and when re- vived the money was gone. Lapse of Time Unaccounted For. “In the face of the circumstances, I was told at the hospital that the blow on the woman's head, whether from a fall or from a fist, was not severe enough to have more than stunned her. A curious thing is that one hour and thirty minutes elapsed between the time she started to walk back to Mrs. Stevens' and the time she was found on Mrs. Cooper’s porch a block away from Mrs. Stevens' home. “In an envelope which Mrs. Mills left at Mrs. Stevens' home and for which she was returning I found $1,950. The envelope was sealed and was marked ‘R. O. BEall, San Antonlo, Texas. Do not open antil Wednes: ay. inguir; Still Working on Footpad Theory. “Mrs. Mills said she was going to St. Loufs and then to Kansas City and she intended to send the money to AMr. Ball, her banker, from Kansas |'City. Why she instructed that the en- velope should not be opened until | Wednesday was not clearly explained, for if she sent the envelope from Kan- sas City it would not have reached San Antonio before Wednesday un- less she meant Wednesday of next week. She said she had set aside that much money to pay a bill” |, In spite of the puzzling features of | the case, Chief Shaffer sald he was continuing to work on the theory that footpads saw Mrs. Mills handie money on an elevated train and fol lowing her, knocked her down when | she walked up a gark street.

No Efforts to Control Crowds. Although stout wire ropes had been stretched up_and down the length of Pennsylvania avenue from the Peace monument to the Mall behind the White House, the enermous crowds that gathered ‘early to gain points of vantage overstepped them or crowded ‘beneath.

Washington, March 8—An attack on the policy pursued by the United States in patrolling the Mexican border during the Mexican revolutions was made in the senate today by Sen- ator Fall of New Mexico, a member of the special investigating committee that has conducted a recent investiga- tion into border conditions. Senator Fall declared that the com- mittee in its investigation along the border from San Diego, Calif, to New Orleans had come in contact frequent- Iy with cases where the armed forces of the United States had been used to arrest American citizens on American soil. “The American troops have been used to oppress American citizens in their own country,” sald Senator Fall, “instead of being used to protect them they were being robbed and murdered on this side of the border line. Ameri- cans have been thrown into prison and deprived of life and liberty. “This is not a single instance, but a condition that has been general along the border for over a year. Senator Fall reviewed in some de- tall the testimony taken by the special committe of which Senator Smith of Michigan, was chairman. He said that Bcores of witnesses resident in Mexi- co testified to the fact that they had been attacked simply because of their American citizenship. The United States, he sald ,extend- ed_no protection to these people. “We would be much more justified in sending troops into Mexico than we were in mending marines into Nica- ragua,” he declared.
