LW to Hi WITH ALL POMP Roosevelt Will Be In ducted Into Office. GREAT PARADE IS PLANNED Troops, Scouts , and Indian Renegades Will March. BRILLIANT BALL AT NIGHT In Point of Striking Features the Inaugural Will Eclipse Any Yet Held Two Hundred Thou sand Visitors Expected. "WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. (Special.) Theodore Roosevelt broke all records and traditions when he was elected President last November, being the first Vice-President to be elevated to the Presidency by the votes of the American people. To celebrate his induction into office there will be a record-breaking: parade and a record-breaking ball at Washington on March 4. The local committee having the inau gural arrangements in hand expects that 200.000 visitors will come to the city to witness the ceremonies incident to the swearing In of tho President and Vice President. Four years ago the crowd numbered 136.000. but It is certain that this total will be greatly surpassed this year. Demands for accommodations from civic organizations, military commands and individuals have nearly swamped tnc committee on public comfort and foretell the coming of a vast multitude. But word Is sent out that there will be suitable accommodations for all. and no one need stay away for fear that charges for lodg ings will be beyond the reach of modest purses. Chairman Weller, of the public comfort committee, stated today that he has a list of scvoral thousand good, re liable boarding-houses, where persons may secure quarters for a dollar a night each. Board will be furnished at the rate of $1 a day. Of course, better quar ters can be hnd at hotels, with corre spondingly higher rates Indians in War Paint to March. Theodore Roosevelt and Charles W. Fair banks will take the oath of office on the east portico of the Capitol promptly at noon on March 4. Aftr they havo ac cepted their solemn trusts, a trained chorus of 1000 voices will break forth in the national anthem. Then the President and Vice-President will enter carriages and proceed up Pennsylvania avenue to the White House, at the. head of the most unique army ever organized. In the line of march thfre will be company after company of regular troops, detach ments from every branch of the military service, cadets, from Annapolis and West Point, Indian renegades, converted ban dits, cowpunchers, with fringed leather suits and bucking bronchos; Filipinos and Porto Rlcans, wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam's army, and last, but more fearful than all, the politicians. The famous Apache chief, Gcronimo. who eluded General Miles on the trails of Arizona, and who for yeara defied Generals Crook, Lawton and Wade, will be here in all his feathers and war paint. With him will come a score of other red men, whose business It will be to whoop things up. Away out In Deadwood. S, D., Seth Bullock. Sheriff, scout, pioneer, plainsman and bosom friend of the Pres ident, is rounding up a gang of genuine Western cowpunchers, who are to Join In the show, six-shooters, ponies and all. If the proceedings become slow they may do a few bareback stunts and shoot out half a dozen electric lights on their way back from the parade. Mr. Bullock has assured the President, however, that his boys will do nothing real "naughty" and will conduct themselves as true sons of the Western plains should. Filipino Scouts Will Be a Feature. The Porto Rico provisional regiment will be here, followed by a battalion of Filipino scouts, the same marvelously drilled men who created such a sensa tion at tho St. Louis Exposition. Then there will be Irish infantry and German artillery and Hungarian hussars and sev eral other kinds of military organizations, all marching beneath the Stars and Stripes. From present indications New York State will have a bigger military repre sentation In the parade than any other state, although Pennsylvania will be crowding close for first honors. Three thouaand soldiers from the Empire State have secured quarters for the 4th, and several hundred more will probably be heard from in the next week. Brooklyn will send a large proportion of marchers, the Twenty-third Regiment, Thirteenth Regiment and the Brooklyn Naval Brig ade having made arrangements to nar ticlpate in the festivities. Other New York organizations that will be here are the Eighth Regiment. Company L of the Second Regiment, from Saratoga Springs; the Forty-sixth Regiment, Squadron A, and the signal corps. Monster stands are now being erected on all Ihe Government reservations on Penn sylvania avenue, from the Capitol to the White House. Seats In them will be sqld at prices ranging from $1 to $5. The best seats will be in the reviewing stand, in front of the White House, Just opposite the one which the President and his party will occupy. A miniature sawmill has been put up Just outside the sleeping room of the President, and is used for cutting planks nto proper length for the White House stand. Inaugural Ball to End at Midnight. The Inaugural ball will be different in many respects from all similar functions ot the past. In the first place, "Home, Sweet Home." will be played sharply at midnight, which will cut the festivities ?hort several hours earlier than has been the custom. This' Is necessary, however, becausp the ball will take place on Satur day evening, and the chairman of the In augural committee, General Wilson, who was brought up in the old school of Puri tanism, believes in keeping the Sabbath holy. The musicians will put up their instruments at the hour of 12 and go home. The Hght3 will not be put out, however, and thos who wish to remain to admire the beauties of the decorations will be per mitted to do po. Two of the best orchestras that can be organized will furnish music for the danc ers and promenaders. The famous Marine Band of 70 pieces will provide the spirited two-steps and martial airs, while .a sec ond orchestra ot 115 stringed Instruments will render the dreamy waltzes and clas sical compositions. The east, end ot the grftat building where the bands will be stationed Is to be reserved exclusively for dancers. The tiled floor of the court is well adapted to this amusement, and if the crowds will permit, there is no reason why all the guests may not go home and ! .tel) how they waltzed at the Inauguration of President Roosevelt. Ballroom Decorations to Be Novel. The local ball committee has attempted something ambitious In the way of artis tic and harmoniously blended decorations. Visitors to the Pension Office on the eve ning of March 4 will not be greeted by the dazzling electric display, myriads of flags and endless yards of red. white and blue bunting which In the past have been com bined to create a brilliant crush of light and color Instead, the first Impression -will be that of entering a tropical garden on a June evening. Beautiful and fragrant bloom3 will please the senses of :Ight and smell. Thousands ot roses, tulips and other flowers will conceal the first arcade, completely encircling the huge court. A second banking of flowers will decorate the higher arcade, the top of which will be crowned with a series of pedestals and American eagles, with green cedar trees in the background. A touch of bright color will be given to the second arcade by a frieze of turkey red, which will be set In under the arches. There will be no canopy of brilliant bunting, as In past decorations. Instead, blue draperies will be hung from the roof down the sides, completely shutting out the upper galler ies and ugly windows. The system of lights will be so arranged that the upper regions of the hall will dissolve a misty blue, giving the effect of a Summer sky overhead. Every Inch of the decorative bunting will be treated by a process which will render It fireproof. Brilliant Electrical Display. The electrical features will far surpass anything heretofore seen at inaugural balls. Four years ago incandescent lights were used for the first time, but the globes were all clear, thus furnishing a harsh though brilliant light. Every arc light this year will be frosted and tinted. Lower units will also be employed, so as to give a diffused light. There will be a gradua tion of illumination from the ground up. so that the upper parts ot the hall will fade Into a general blue. The heaviest lights will be arranged about the first arcade, but shaded In such a manner that they will not destroy the rich floral ef fect. The Illumination will increase In power as the east end of the building Is approached, and when the extreme end Is reached, where the bands will be located. 'there will be a burst of lights of surpass ing beauty and brilliancy. A great acai of thought has been devoted to these de tails, and It Is expected that the results will be strikingly beautiful and artistic. The giant supporting columns, which have heretofore been gayly draped and festooned with flags and bunting, will not be touched by the decorators this year. As the ball will be a social function, and not a military event, the committee will deal sparingly with flags. There will be only four groupings of the American col ors, and the effect is expected to be better than if emblems were strewn about Indis criminately. Eighteen thousand dollars will be ex pended in beautifying the building for the ball. Thousands and thousands of yards of blue bunting will be employed In cover ing up unsightly features, cut flowers and plants sufficient to stock two or three nur series will be sacrificed for the event and electric lights almost without number will be utilized. Ball tickets will be 55 each. SETBACK FOR GATES TO BE SHOWN AT EXPOSITION History of Declaration of Independ ence With Portraits of Signers. WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. General Wil liam H. Michael, chief clerk of the State Department, by order of Congress, has published a book giving an Illustrated history of the Declaration of Independ ence, with, the biographies and portraits of the signers and the Secretary of the Congress. The advance copies of this work have been received at the Depart ment. The illustration? Include not only photographs of the famous State paper In Its present decayed condition, but also a number of photographs taken when the document was in a better state of pres ervation. The volume was prepared primarily as an aid to those in charge ot the exhibit of the department of State at Exposi tions In explanlng that part of the ex hibit relating to the Declaration of In dependence. The series of portraits of the signers Is complete and there Is an Interesting fac simile of the broadside copy of the Declaration signed by John Hancock, president of tho Congress for and on behalf of the members of Con gress, attested by Charles Thomson, Sec retary. Especially interesting Is the cor respondence relating to the declaration, which Is given. Because of the historic value of the work of Colonel Michael, Congress ordered the book printed as a Government publication. FIREMEN'S DEMANDS REJECTED They Now Consider Strike Question on New Haven Road. NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Feb. IS. The re ply of the committee of directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road, sustaining the action of President Mellen In rejecting the demands of the Railroad Firemen's Brotherhood, was for mally received today at a meeting of the grievance committee of the firemen. Pending a meeting tomorrow of the ex ecutive committee, it was said today that nothing would be known regarding the result of the poll of members of the Brotherhood employed ' on the railroad system In reference to a strike. Representatives ot the firemen say that for a week past a bureau for the em ployment of men to take the places of members ot the Brotherhood In the event of a strike has been In active operation In New York and elsewhere. No suggestion of arbitration has been sent to Second Vice-Grand Master Timo thy Shea, of the Brotherhood of locomo tive Firemen, by any director of the rail road. Tonight the situation on the road is practically unchanged, although the Im pression is growing that there will be no strike. Dr. Watson Is Acquitted. NEW LONDON, Mo., Feb. 18. The jury In the case of Dr. T. Jones Watson, of Den ver, charged with killing his wife, today returned a verdict or not guilty. Mrs. "Watson was killed in a runaway accident while driving with her husband, who was picked up unconscious near a bridge over a small stream. Mrs. watson s oouy was found In the water. The prosecution charged that Mrs. Watson had died from the effects of poison, and that Dr. Watson arranged conditions to bear out the run away theory. Medical experts testified both for and against the presence of poison in the stomach. Will Present Saddle "to President. PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 18. The Arizona Rangers have presented to Governor Brodie the finest saddle they could buy. The Governor, who leaves for the East in a day or so, will present the saddle to President Roosevelt, with the compll ments of the Rangers, who are mostly former Rough Riders. Abundant Supply of Wheat Knocks Down Price. ARMOUR HEADS OFF BULLS Wall Street Crowd Bombarded by Chicago Men, Who Unload 5,000, JD00 Bushels Gates Has Surprise in Store. CHICAGO. Feb. IS. (Special.) Wheat: suffered another severe decline today in the spectacular war for control, presum ably between John W. Gates and a. party representing Wall street and the Chicago and Western men, cents being knocked from yesterday's closing Quotation for thn May option. The first five minutes of the: session witnessed a continuation of tho onslaught which created a panic at tho close of the previous "gathering." A world of the cereal was hurled into tho pit. and although the price at the very start showed an advance, it was but a. matter of minutes before the future wasr at the low decline. Within the first five minutes fully 5.000.000 bushels of the cereal was used in the pit bombardment. Men very close to the situation declare that John W. Gates does not intend to spring his advertised big surprise until the time Is too late for the bears to make a play on the May delivery. A feature that was regarded as significant was the buying bf the wheat on the "sick spots" by people with very good "facilities." Armour, It appears, has headed off Gates, and the bull clique May wheat line, which three days ago was estimated at 20,000,000 bushels, is now" declared to havo dwindled to 5.000,000. P. A. Valentine. Ed IHggins-and George Marcy, the men who went into ffoe North west and got wheat for Armour yntil he broke Joe Leitcr, have apparently under taken to supply Gates with all thcjyhcat he wants and checked the advance, at least temporarily. PRESIDENT HARPER HAS CANCER Head of Chicago University Expects to Die of Operation. CHICAGO, Feb. 18. "I have received my death sentence. It is my firm con viction that I will not survive this oper ation, for I know I am afflicted with cancer." This, in effect, the Daily News today says, is what Dr. William R. Harper, president of the University of Chicago, uttered in the presence of some of his friends in discussing the operation set for next Wednesday. He does not ex pect ever to take up the active presi dency again. Friends and relatives of the educator have been notified to this effect. John D. Rockefeller, founder of the university, is expected to arrive in Chi cago soon, and Professor Robert F. Har per, brother of the president, is expected to reach New York Sunday night or Mon day from Europe. Gloom overspreads the university, for nearly even' one realizes the seriousness of Dr. Harper's illness. Dean Harry Pratt Judson'will be act ing president as soon as Dr. Harper re linquishes work preparatory to ' under going the operation, and will continue in that position until Dr. Harper returns or a successor is appointed. TWO WIVES APPEAR ON SCENE Strange Consequence of Woman's Ignorance of Legal Procedure. CINCINNATI. Feb. 18. The climax of the supposed double marriage of Samuel Lawrence Barrlett. the famous electrical inventor, whose dead body was found In a Dayton boarding-house early In the week, came today when the attorney ot the second wife showed a certified copy of the decree divorcing the first wife, who, until today, believed herself still married to Barrlett. The two women reached here today and consulted attor neys, seeking to procure from the cstato whatever may be due for the children of. tho late Inventor. Mrs. Georgia Barrlett. the first wife of the deceased, stated that, having sued for divorce, although she gave testimony, she mistook the master commissioner ap pointed for that purpose to be her law yer, and, as her husband never appeared, ns she supposed he would" be compelled to do, she continued to think the pro ceedings were entirely abandoned. She afterwards lived again with Barrlett and bore him a child, believing herself his lawful wife. For a time today It appeared that there would be a scene at the funeral of Bar rlett. the two widows contesting the right to have charge of the burial, but attorneys avoided this. Grabs Woman's Diamonds and Flees. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. one of the most audacious of the many recent robberies in this city occurred in the Bronx today, when a highwayman attacked Mr. and Mrs. John W. Cornish In front of their home, snatched a $5000 diamond brooch, from Mrs. Cornish's throat, fired two bullets through the clothing of Cornish when he remonstrated, then escaped af ter an exciting, race with a policeman, hi which several shots were exchanged, but so far as known without effect- The police have only a meager description ot the man. and there seems little chance that he will be captured. The robber followed Mr. and Mrs. Cornish home from a streetcar in which the lavish display ot diamonds worn by the couple had attracted much attention. Funeral of Lew Wallace. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 18. The funeral of General Lew Wallace this afternoon was private. In accordance with his expressed wishes. Only the family and a few Intimate friends attended. Un til noon the body lay In the Library build ing and wa3 viewed by thousands. Busi ness was suspended and the city did honor to the memory of the dead. The casket was draped with a flag given General "Wallace by the ladies of Evansvllle, Ind., In the beginning ot the Civil War. On the breast of the dead was the order be stowed upon him by the Sultan of Tur key. The body was placed In a temporary vault.
