FREIGHT CARS CRASH THRU CIO. BRIDGE

Eighteen of Forty-Nine Cars Piled Into Creek Bottom At Elkhorn Station South of Richmond. TWO MEN INJURED; TRAFFIC TIED UP Accident Caused By Broken Flange Will Be-At Least A Week Before Bridge Can Be Constructed. ( Eighteen box cars, loaded with coal, lumber and pig iron, crashed through the trestle on the C. & O. at the Elkhorn pumping station, three and onehalf miles south of Richmond about 6 o'clock this morning. One man on the train was injured and a member of the wrecking crew was hurt.rafflc on the road south of Richmond will be tied up for more than a week, according to Trainmaster J. A. Barker. There were forty-seven loaded cars and two empty cars in the train which was made up at the Boston yards. The accident was due to a broken flange, on one of the cars, throwing the j trucks of the car off the track. The flange was broken about 300 feet from the trestle but this was not noticed by any of the train's crew When the defective car struck the trestle works the car bumped the ties with such force as to break the bolts, causing other cars to jump the track. The trestle broke and car after car piled up in the creek bottom, about thirty-five feet below. ... Escape From Death. Roscoe Broadus, colored, living at 116 South A street, and who is employed ait night in the Boston C. & O. yards had a miraculous escape from death. Broadus waff riding on top of a coal car. The car was piled over the trestle and other cars fell upon it. Broadus was knocked unconscious but his body was not pinned under the cat's. He floated to small falls a few feet from the debris, where he re gained consciousness. Broadus was brought, to this city Immediately and medical aid summoned. It was found that he suffered greatly from exposure. His left arm was badly sprained and bones in his left hand were broken. He was otherwise injured but it is not known whether he sustained internal injuries or not. Three Tramps Missing. .Another odd incident of the accident was that six tramps boarded one of the cars at Boston. The car in which they were riding was one of those which was pulled through the trestle. Three of these men were seen to emerge from under the debris but they declared that they did not know where their three companions were. Some declared that the other three men must have been killed, but this is strongly doubted by members of the wrecking crew. However, they admitted that such could be the case as it rwas a physical impossibility to make a detailed investigation. Taken to Hospital. August Smalilo, 414 North Third treet, an Italian member of the local wrecking crew, was injured while at work assisting in the pulling of a car on the track. In some manner a "fish-plate" was thrown by the engine, the plate striking Smalilo in the (Continued on Last Page) THE POWER OF THE PRESS AS AN EDUCATOR BY JOHN P. FALLON.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS SWORN INTO OfflCE AT NOON TODAY

Day Was Ideal For the Ceremony, Which Was Witnessed By Thousands of People Who Cheered the New Executive Repeatedly During the Simple But Impressive Oath-Taking Ceremony.

INAUGURAL PARADE WAS WONDERFUL SIGHT

Thousands of Soldiers and Sailors and Members of Civic Organizations Filed Past the Reviewing Stand in a. Perfect Stream Inaugural Address of Wilson Was An Impressive One.

The address of President Wilson and other interesting details in connection with the inauguration today will be found on page 7. (Xational Xews Association) WASHINGTON, March 4. In the presence of thousands of his fellow -countrymen, and with bared head and uplifted hand, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, at 1:36 o'clock today took oath as President of United States for the ensuing four years. He is the twenty-eighth in the presidential line, and the eighth native of Virginia to hold that office. Chief Justice of the United States, Edward Douglass White, administered the oath on a raised platform at the east side of the Capitol. J ust a few minutes before this simple, but impressive ceremony was enacted, Thomas Riley Marshall, of Indiana, was formally inducted into office as Vice President of the United States, for a similar term, in the Senate Chamber. The President pro tern of the Senate administered the vice-presidential oath to Mr. Marshall. Ceremonies Were Brief. A little more than one hour's time covered the entire formality, including the delivery of the inaugural address of the President, a brief speech by the incoming vice president and the administration of the oath to the newly elected senators. The day was ideal for the ceremony, the temperature hovering around 40 degrees. A veil of light clouds partly hid the sun from view andprotected the crowds from Its glare. There were about 10,000 people in the great grandstand at the east portico of the capitol, before which Wilson took the oath of office. More than 1.000 others stood in the plaza. Mr. Wilson's appearance on the small platform at the front of the main grandstand was the signal for a rousing cheer, the crowd rising to Its feet, a human sea of fluttering handkerchiefs and waving flags. He was cheered again and again during his induction into office and the delivery of his speech. Asks Aid of People.

Ropes had been stretched on either side of the broad thoroughfare, from end to end. and regular and special police, station at frequent Intervals, kept the vast throng of people in restraint. From curb to house tops along the line of march was on solid mass of humanity. Cheer after cheer rang out as the presidential carriage slowly proceeded toward the White House, and the new President was kept bowing and smiling continuously, first toward one 6ide of the street and then toward the other. Banners were flying, flags waving, bands were playing, and every build -ing on both sides of the famous highway was brilliantly decorated. Following the president's earriae came the inaugural pageant parade, in four main divisions. The firs division was composed of regulars of the army and navy, the second of state militias and military schools; the third of patriotic organizations, and the fourth of civic and political lubs.

Boston, Baltimore. Louisville, Cincinnati. Cleveland. St. Louis, Atlanta, and other cities. A score of bands and fife and drum corps were interspersed among the marching troopers and civic organizations. When the President reached the White liou! there was a balf hour halt in the line while the luncheon arranged for by Mr. and Mrs. Taft was served. To this luncheon beside the new President and Mrs. Wilson were bidden the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, the members of the committee on arrangements, the mem- -bers of the Democratic National Committee, William Corpora m Kustia, chairman of the local committee, and half a hundred or more others, either personal friends or closely connected with the Inaugural ceremonies. The luncheon was quickly over, for the President had to review from the huge grand stand in front of the White House the long line of marchers. The parade took about four hours to pass the Presidential stand. Taft Leaves For South. For a time ex-President Taft stood beside his successor, bat be soon left, in'order to catch the train for Angusta where he will spend a few weeks resting before taking op bis new duties at Tale University.
