PTION IN STATION TAFT TAKES OFFICE IN BIG BLIZZARD THAT GUT OFF WASHINGTON Great Storm Forces Change in Pro- gramme, and Inauguration Ceremo- | nies Are Held in.the Senate Cham- ' ber, Disappointing Thousands. (Special to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, March 4.—Taft and Sherman are in. They are the President of the United States and the Vice-President of the United States. But it has been one frightful struggle to get ‘the ceremony of inauguration through, Washington has never known such a mess of jweather, The carefully arranged schedule of ceremonies has been sma shed and frozen off and mixed until the great crowds of visitors who came for a merrymaking are wandering up, and down Pennsylvania avenue like peevish lost sheep, pausing now and then to take a look at the lines of sturdy sailors and soldiers who are breasting the storm on the way from the Capitol to the White House. President Taft took the oath of office at 12.55, and began the de- livery of the inaugural address to the limited audience assembled by invitation in the Chamber of the Senate of the United States. This great and beautiful hall has not seen a Presidential inauguration in years and years, though the last five Presidents before President Roosevelt have spoken in the open under weather conditions that threatened, and lin many cases brought to their audiences weeks of illness and death, “KNEW IT WOULD BE A COLD DAY.” Mr. Taft went to bed last night with an interesting lis Moore, head of the Weather Bureau, who has never feared to rush He said that notwithstanding the storm, which was even then whistling around the White House from off the The fol- ing is authoritatively reported as the cottversation between Mr, Tatt and Mr. Roosevelt this morning when they met at the breakfast table after having surveyed the storm outside.
