Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, March 4. With
Washington in the grasp of a sweep
ing blizzArd, William Howard Taft,
of Ohio, today became the twenty
seventh president of the United
States, and Theodore Roosevelt, of
New York, who had held the exalted
office for seven and a half years, at
the same Inatnnt was transformed in
to the nation's moat distinguished
private citizen.
Half an hour before Mr. Taft re
peated the solemn oath of office,
James Schoolcraft Sherman, of New
York, was sworn In as Vice-President,
siiceedlng Charl:s Warren Fairbanks,
of Indiana, who had presided over
the Senate chamber, In which the
ceremony took place, for one term of
four years.
The Bwearlng In of the new presi
dent took place a half hour after
noon In the senate chamber.
Immediately following the cere
money, President Taft proceeded to
the White House to review the colos
sal military and clvio parade, while
ex-President Roosevelt went to the
Union Station, where he took train
for his old home at Oyster Bay, to
prepare for his African hunting trip.
-. Oath Taking Ceremony. '
In taking the oath of office, Mr.
Taft repeated theBe words slowly and
distinctly after Chief Justice Fuller:
"I do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute the office of Presi
dent cf the United States, and will,
to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution
of the United States." . - .
' A second later the crowd saw Mr.
Taft press his lips to the Holy Book.
When the throng on the plaza had
finished shouting, which it did not do
until its multitudinous throat was
good and raw and weary from the
exercise, President Taft steppod to
the front of the stand and began the
delivery of hlB Inaugural address.
Heir to ItooseTeHs Policies.
Succeeding, as he does, a man who
111 be recorded In hlBtory as one
of our greatest presidents, Taft takes
up the pen and power of office with a
peculiar responsibility. Llko Roose
velt, he enters the WhkB House the
acknowledged heir of another. The
policies of Theodore Roosevelt are his
today, no matter how the exigencies
of statecraft or political expedience
may shape his course In the future.
Following a record-breaker In of
fice, Mr. Taft begins his management
of national affairs with a few records
to his own credit'. He is the biggest
president, physlclally, outweighing
and out-measuring the late President
Cleveland, the next In size, by several
pounds and Inches. He . may also
lay claim to the largest acquaintance
of any president, either at the outset
or the end of his administration, for
he is known in every state in the
Union and every civilized country in
the world. He Is the only president
that ever girdled the earth before
taking office, and the only one that
ever governed an insular possession
of the United States of America. He
is the only president that was ever
made a Mason at eight.
Ceremonies in fcVnate.
After administering the oath of of
fice to his successor, vice President
Fairbanks' gavel fell upon the mar
ble slab of bis desk, with a single
stroke, he declared the 60th Con
gress adjourned sine die. Now there
was but one vice-president of the
united States, and his name was
Sherman.
The new vice-president at once
took the gavel from Private Citizen
Fairbanks hand, and began bis ap
pointed duties by calling the Senate
of the 61st Congress to order and
requesting the Chaplain, the vener
able Edward Everett Hale, to offer
prayer.
As Goon as the chaplain had fin
ished his Invocation, Vice-President
Sherman began bis Inaugural ad
dress, at the conclusion of which Mr.
Sherman administered the oath of of
fice to the new senators-elect. One
of the old senators made a motion to
adjourn; It was carried without op
position and the galleries and cham
ber were cleared aa If by magic.
The Parade.
There may bave been bigger par
ades than the one that marched today
down the broad mile from the Capitol
to the White House there may have
been larger and more enthusiastic
crowds to view an Incoming preal
dent, and the soldiers, and sailors,
and politicians, and bands, and glee
clubs, and societies that followed him
to his four-year home but Mr. Old
est' Inhabitant never heard of them

tbese. as well aa in front of business
houses, were Greeted for the occasion
innumerable Beating stands. The
prices ranged all the way from the
compliments of the owners to 85 each
and when the president and his fol
lowing of 30,000 marchers passed
long, few vacant places were to Ue
found. Up at Lafayette Square, at
the end of the Hue of parade. In front
of tho White House and of the Presi
dent's Bland, was the largest seating
capacity, one structure nt this point
seating C500. The President's stand
accommodated 1500 diplomats, gov
ernment officials, and favored person
ages who got their tickets gratis.
Windows and suits in the hotels
between the White House and the
Capitol sold for all sorts of fancy
prices. Senator Depew of New York
paid $300 for a corner room at 15th
and the Avenue; Governor Guild of
Massachusetts is credited with pay
ing close to $1000 for a third floor
front suit In one of tho big hotels;
and two gentlemen who had more
money than most of us gave $500
each for two wide windows in the
Munsey building, 0110 block east of
the Treasury. Other windows front
ing Pennsylvania Avenue sold all the
way from $25 up.
The Inaugural Hall.
President and Mrs. Taft will make
their first official appearance nt a
social function tonight, when they
will lead the grand march at the In
augural Ball. For months society of
the Capital, end, for that matter, of
many other ciMes, has been In a pleas
urable state of excitement over the
Inaugural hop, and the amount of
money that will be represented in
gowns and Jewels on the floor of the
great Pension building, when the Ma

would buy or build a railroad.
Tickets to the ball sell for $
each, and supper is served for $1.60
addition. The ball is the money-
getting end of the Inauguration. It
Is the place where the Washington
merchant gets his inaugural subscrip

credit of the quadrennial dance that
It has never yet been found wanting.

PRISON HOORS OPEN FOR
J. M. CASTEKL'S SLAYER
Once Under Sentenco of Donth, 3. H,
Olberniiin, of l)oug:! County,
(iocs Forth n Free Man.
Ono of tho last official acts of
George 13. Chamberlain as governor
was to pardon J. M. Olberman, er
ing a Ufo sentence In tho penitentiary
for tho murder of Jasper M. Casteel,
on Lees Creek, nine miles cast of
Myrtle Creek, ohout It years ago
Tho Influences which o:cured his par
den are not learned. Olbermnn Is
about 60 years of age. His crltiM was
ono of tho moo cold-uloodeil una
cowardly ever committed In Douglas
county or r-'ywnere eiso. inai na
escaped tl: gallows after being sen-
tcced to hang fell far s lort of meet
iitK with public ronUnmit and the
ne-.! of his pardon will elL-lt even
less approval.
Cnsteel and Olborman wore part-
Lees Creek and lived '.oreiher. There
was a third member of tho house-
Iiriltl r'ntitenl'ti daughter. Mrs.
Stewart, who was living apart from
her husband, though not divorced.
The two men got Into a quarrel,
which, iti was rumored, was caused
by Olberman's attentions to Mrs.
Stewart, and this was followed by 01-bein-an
filing a suit for money
ng'int Castoel In the Justice court
nt Vvrtle Creek. A few days later
tho ni.irdur occurred nt the Lees
Creek horn" As Casteel lay asleep
on a sofa, Olbermnn slipped from his
room, revolver In hand, and cooly
shot Casteel through the head, killing
him instantly. The murderer then
walked to Myrtle Creek and surrend
ered himself.
At his trhil, Olborman said he
killed Castoel because Cssteel had
threatened to kill him. He was un
able to substantiate this statement to
1 the satisfaction of tho Jury and he
was found guilty of murder In the
; first degree. Judge J. C. Fullertou,
then occupying the circuit bench,
i sentenced Olbermnn to be hanged and
the murderer's attorney, C. A; Sehl
brede, now a resident -of Marshfield,
appealed to tho suprome court for a
i new trial. - The appeal was turned
' down, but on the day before the one
Ion which the hanging was to tuke
place Governor T. T. Geer commuted
, Olberman's sentence to lifo iinprtson
j mcnt. This commutation was so
' cured by Judge Wm, M. Cake, of
Portland, brother of the man who op
posed Governor Chamberlain for
Uutted States Senator, and who Ib a
member of a firm of soap manufactur
ers ar whom Olberman worked be
fore locating In Douglas County.
The popular belief that Mrs. Stew
art was Indirectly the cause of tho
murder of her father was not sup
ported by any evidence at the trial,
but the consideration which ehe
Bhowed for Olborman aftor the deed
was committed was regarded as sig
nificant. She vlBfted her father's
sluycr oh two different occasions
while he wsb in jail, and each time
asked him if there wna nnythlng she
cculd do for him. She had some of
Olberman's moucy In her possesslou,
and he told her In tho presence of
Sheriff It. L. Stephens that she could
keep this. On the day of Casteel's
funeral at Myrtle Creek, Mrs. Stow-
art Invited Olberman to accompany
her to tho cemetery, but tho man wus
then In the custody of Sheriff Stoph
ens and could not go.
