Through a lane of Princeton Uni versity students and surrounded by cheering thousands, the-Prebident-eleet and members of his family were hast ened from the station, escorted by an official reception committee to their hotel. The dome of the Capitol glistened tinder a brilliant sun as they passed and the city presented a panorama of patriotic color as viewed from the hill.' Smiling in the glow of a kindly day and bowing to the plaudits of the peo pie, the former president of Princeton University, who rose through the Gov ernorshlp of New Jersey to the high' est office in the land, looked happy.

Nothing has been left undone to make the inauguration ceremonies the most extensive in the history of the country.

PROMINENT MEN ON STAGE Acting Mayor Baker Makes Dedicatory Address. THUNDEROUS IS APPLAUSE When Mrs. Marx, Portland Headliner to Week's Bill, Appaars, Greeting Prolonged Contralto in Per fect Voice BUI Good. BY LEONB CASS BAER. Metropolitan to a marked degree was the splendid, big christening last night of the New Empress Theater at Seventh and Yamhill, where years ago was a wilderness primeval Motor cars purred for blocks about the -vicinity of the magnet, and a steady stream of machines whirled up to the wide-flung doors to deposit crowds of well-dressed folk. It was truly a gala night, and an almost Mardi Gras spirit was caught up and tossed by one smiling guest to another. - Everybody was In a merry mood. New Theater Magnificent. This newest theater to be added to Portland's list of amusement houses is a magnificent thing, and one that can be pointed to with pride and no fear of the inevitable comparisons made by visitors east of us. Just like a bit ot Eden In Its palmiest days, transplanted Into great marble lined walls, was the' interior picture last night. On every side stood great basketB of blossoms, huge floral pieces of brlght-hued flowers and greens were set at every turning and many of them rested on easels, six feet across. Over 100 fragrant testimonials were sent yesterday.-' Among those immedi ately In the lobby in front of the the ater were - beautiful pieces bearing cards ot Meier & Frank Company, J. D. Farrell, Portland Hotel, O.-W. R. & N. Company, Calvin Helllg, George L. Baker, Foster & Klelser, Lumbermen's National Bank, S. E. Kramer, Frank Ooffinberry, Mr. and Mrs. M.

California Jurists See Bis; Chance of Place Going Out of State Since Lane's Appointment. SAN FRANCISCO, March S. (Spe cial.) Although California Jurists have considered that the successor ot United States Judge W. W. Morrow will be named from this state and it has been generally considered that the successor to the Federal judge who has resigned will be one of the valuable pieces of California patronage, it la possible and entirely probable that the position may be filled by an Oregon man. That the position is not one that may be claimed as part of the California patronage be came generally known today. Now that Franklin K. Lane is as sured of the portfolio of Secretary of the Interior. Will R. King, of Port land, is eliminated from the contest, but he is still in the field as a possi bility for other preference and it has been suggested that he may be the man selected as Federal Judge to succeed Judge Morrow. The jurisdiction of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals extends over California. Oregon, Washington, Mon tana, Nevada, Idaho and to the Ha waiian Islands and the Philippines. It has been suggested that California has not the only claim upon the position. The argument against the chances of a California man securing the appoint ment is based upon the fact that Cali fornia has two Republican Senators. President Woodrow Wilson will have a Democratic majority of two in the Senate. Oregon has two Democratic members of the upper house In Con gress, United States Senators Lane and Chamberlain. $1,000,000 IS AGREED UPON Conference Committee Allows Sum . for New Portland Postoffice.

Wright, attorney and resi dent of Mount Tabor, was married Sat urday at Hood River to Miss Delia Smith, of Chicago. Mr. Wright kept his prospective wedding a profound secret.

TROLLEY WIRE BREAKS Sunnyside Car Becomes Entangled With Rlotons Current. East Twelfth and Morrison streets was the scene of a dazzling electric dis play last night at 8 o'clock when trolley wire broke, became entangled with a Sunnyside car, short-circuited with the car tracks and destroyed parts of the streetcar. In the confusion which resulted no one was injured and the car later pro ceeded to the barns under Its own power, but with badly twisted and melted fixturea The fender and other metal parts of the front end of the car were conductors for the wild cur rent and for four minutes the dazzling pyrotechnic display lighted up the en tire community.

March 8 William Caanlfax dropped dead in a grave ha was digging In a cemetery here today. Heart disease caused his death. Riotous Scenes Attend Great Pageant. MARCHING WOMEN INSULTED Police Powerless in Throngs Which Jam Streets. CAVALRY COMES TO AID Parade Decided Success Despite De lays Caused by Crowd Taft Party Jeered by Hoodlums. Women. Score Police. , WASHINGTON. March S. Five thou sand women, marching in the woman suffrage pageant today, virtually fought their way foot by foot up Pennsylvania avenue through a surging mob that completely defied the Washington po lice, swamped the marchers and broke their procession into little companies. The women, trudging stoutly along un der great difficulties, were able to complete their march only when troops of cavalry from Fort " Myer were rushed into Washington to take charge of Pennsylvania avenue. No inau guration has ever produced such scenes, which in many Instances amounted to nothing less than riots. Women Score Police, Later, in Continental Hall, the women turned what was to have been a suf frage demonstration Into an indigna tion meeting. In which the Washington police were roundly denounced for their Inactivity, and. resolutions were adopt ed calling upon President-elect Wilson and the Incoming Congress to make an investigation and locate the responsi bility for the Indignities the marchers suffered. Miss Helen Keller, the noted deaf and blind girl, was so exhausted and unnerved by the experience in at tempting to reach a grandstand where she was to have been a guest of honor that she was unable to speak in Con tinental Hail. The scenes which attended, the entry of "General" Rosalie Jones and her "hikers" on Thursday, when the be draggled women had to fight their way up Pennsylvania avenue,- swamped by a mob with which a few policemen struggled in vain, were repeated today, but upon a vastly larger scale. The marchers had to fight their way from the start and took more than one hour in making the first ten blocks. Insults of Mob Bring Tears. Many of the women were in tears under the jibes and Insults of the mob. that lined the route. 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 crowds overstepped them or crawled beneath. Apparently no effort was made to drive back the trespassers In the early hours, with the result that when the parade started It faced at almost every hundred yards a solid wall of humanity. On the whole it was a hostile crowd through which the women marched. Miss Ines Mllholland, herald of the procession, distinguished herself by aiding in riding down a mob that blocked the way and threatened to disrupt the parade. Another woman member of the "petticoat cavalry" struck a hoodlum a stinging blow across the face with her riding crop in reply to a scurrilous remark as she was passing. The mounted police seemed powerless to stem the tide of human ity. Hoodlums Insult Taft Party. Hoodlums assembled In front of the reviewing stand in which sat Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft and a half dozen guests from the White House kept up a running nre of caustic comment. Ap parently no effort was made to remove them and. evidently disgusted, the White House party left before the pro. cession had passed in its halting and interrupted Journey toward Continental HalL The tableaux on the steps of I he Treasury Building, framed in the great columns and the broad stairway of the Governemnt treasury house, were be gun when the parade started. Beauti ful in coloring and grouping, the dra matic symbollzatlon of women's aspir ations for political freedom was com pleted long before the head ot the pa rade was in eight- . In their thin dresses and bare arms, the performers waited, shivering for more than an hour until finally' they were forced to seek refuge within the big building. Police Charge Ineffective. Around the Treasury Department the crowds were massed so tightly that repeated charges by the police were seemingly ineffective. Occasionally the mob gave way In one place, only to break over and under the wire hedge at some other. When the cavalry appeared there was wild applause in the reviewing stand. The men in browu virtually brushed ' aside the mounted and foot police and took charge. In two lines, the troops charged the crowd. Evidently realizing they would be ridden down, the mob fought their way back. When they hesitated the cavalrymen drove their horses into the throngs and whirled and wheeled until hooting men and women were forced to retreat. A space was quickly cleared. The parade In Itself, In spite of the (Concluded oa Page X.) V.
