Although Miss Kohler was placed on tile stand, she failed to te.itlfy to any facts that would Involve Doyle criminally. Xo testimony v.ns offered by the defense, or.d the motion to dismiss tho complaint, made by former Assistant District Attorney Robert H. Elder, who represented Doyle, was grnnted. "Even if I were inclined to disbelieve the witnesses who hate testified here." said the magistrate, "I am not Justified in believing the opposite of what they have said Is true under cnth." In addition to the father ot Miss Kohler, nnd her brother, Philip J. Kohler, who had made the eompluint in behalf of his skier, tho principal witnesses were Miss Kohler herself and her chum.

The court room was crowded beyond Its normal capacity a3 Magistrate Mc-Guire called tho caso of "Walter K.

The cass for the prosecution was conducted by Assistant District At torney Louis Goldstein, and Mr. Ulder appeared for Doyle. Miss HcrmaHn was the first witness tailed, and under the questioning of Mr. Goldstein she told of having met Doyle and some of hi3 friends at Brighton Beach last July.

Miss Kohler and three girls named "Basin" Jean, Lena aud Pauline, hni been in the party. AH were dressed in bathing costumes. "Had you been Introduced to Mr. Doyle'." asked Mr. Goldstein.

"Xo, not exactly introduced," replied Miss Hermalin, with a smile. Nothing beyond play on tho bcr.oh occurred that day, and tho next time Miss Hermalin tow tho defendant and Miss together she said was about a eek later, 0t tho real catato office of Doyle, at Hi Court street. She was very indclinito as to dates, but was suro that the meetings had occurred last July. At the real estate office she said she had found Miss Kohler with Doylo, "and Eessle told me a story about herself and Walter," she added. What the "story" hart contained she did not say, though she did testify that she had asked Doyle whether he intended to marry Miss Kohler.

All of the subway contracts, with the exception of the third tracking elevated certificate for the Intcrborough Rapid Transit Company, were approved and voted out by the Public Service Commission at noon today. Commissioners Edward E. McCall, George V.

S. Williams and John E. Eustis supported the programme and were responsible for the passage of the contracts. Commissioners Milo R. Maltbie and J.

Sergeant Cram voted in the negative. Commissioner Cram, while making it plain that ho was opposed to the whole deal, voted In favor of the elevated extensions on tho ground that the elevated loads aro a natural monopoly, and that they alone can make the extensions proposed. The first contract to come before the board, that of the New York Municipal Railway Corporation, was approved at o'clock. Tho last was passed at o'clock. 6ommissiouer Maltbie Tiles Objections to Contracts.

Commissioner Maltbie filed objections to the subway contracts and to the elevated certificates. Ho wished tho Inter-borough's preferential reduced from 335,000 to $5,300,000, and the B. R. from $3,500,000 to $3,200,000. Ho further moved that the length of the elevated contracts be reduced from S3 to 49 years.

All of these amendments and a num'bci of others less Important were snowed under. Tho majority did not even lister to the reading of them. The subway contracts were authorized under a resolution which read as follows: licraii, commission has determined that the public iitturesls recjulre the entering into a LMtitract with Interboruiixh ittpiil Trunslt t'uuiimiy for additional rapid transit railroads; ami llt-reas.

In the B. R. T. resolution the only change is the substitution of the name "New York Municipal Railway Corporation" for Intcrborough Rapid Transit Company. Under this resolution the contracts were net signed today but were authorized and approved.

And furthermore the chairman Ik directed to sign the contracts lvhcu they hr.vo been approved by titc Hoard of lislimate. Chairman George McAneny of the Kstl-mnlo Hoard's committee ou transit explained Immediately after the action of the Commission that the Board of Estimate would rccelvo the contracts at the icceling next Thursday. Then a date will bo set for final action, and at the meet- iug for final action anyone who wishes to say anything will be heard. Board of Estimate to Hold Contracts' a Week. Mr.

McAneny said the Board had notj as yet met to fix the dato for final action. Ho said he felt quite sure llicro -would be uo action before Saturday. Tho probability Is that the Board of Estl- mato will hold the contracts about a full week. i The two b'g companies, the lutcrhor- ough and tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit, I arc ready to sign the contracts Imme- diatcly, and there will be uo delay so far as they arc concerned.

Commissioner Cram Files His Objections to the Contracts. Cram joined with Maltbie, today, In opposing the ctiniracts. and tiled memorandum expressing his disapproval of the entire ileal being made by the city. He asked that his memorandum be made a part of the minutes of the proceed less, and this done. What he said folluws- "When the Public Service against municipal operation of the municipally-built subways, twa always dissenting, tlie alleruatlve was hy the Traction Trust.

I I i SCENE WAS BRILLIANT Tremendous Throngs at ths Capitol and Along Line of Parade. WEATHER IS THREATENING.

Inauguration Mark3 Complete Cliaugo in Our National Government. Ceremonies to Last Five Hours. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, March 4 Woodrow Wilson became the twenty-seventh President of the United SUtes today In the presence of tho greatest throng that ever witnessed such a ceremony in the history of the nation. Washington is overwhelmed with inaugural visitors.

All records heve beea broken with respect to the number persons from out-of-town. The press of humanity In front of tho inaugural stanl at the Capitol was tremendous. Along Pennsylvania avenue, the route of tho parade, there were dense masses of people from the White House to the Capitol, some of them standing in their places at i o'clock this morning. All day the weather threatened. It wes not cold, but the sky was gray and enly rarely were thero glimpses of ths sun.

Yet tlie city was in holiday attlro, everybody hoping for the best, praylcg that it would not rain at least before they had seen some of the parade. Inaugural Ceremonies Delayed in the Senate. The inaugural ceremonies were conducted as nearly on schedule time as was permitted by the delay in the Senate, duo to iho veto ot the sundry civil bill by President Taft. There were very tew Interruptions to the carefully arranged programme, ar.d these were not a serious character. Washington greeted the new President with a great burst of enthusiasm.

ITo enjoyed bis new honors to tho utmost. While tlu long diy was much In tho nature of an ordeal for him, it was also something a holiday. Tomorrow tie will take up the grinding work of four years iu the White House, faced by some tremendous national problems. It vas a celebration day for Democrats from all over the country. They cam? by hundreds and thousands, many of them r.ot having been in Washington since Grovcr Cleveland went out of oHice.

The change In our National Gjvernincnc marking the inauguration oi Wuodroiv Wilson today is complete. The last vestige of Republican control has di-cp-pearcd. Congress to Meet April 1. The Semte has become Democratic by a small majority. The House of Iiopre-scnuttlvcs has had its Democratic majority nearly doubled.

The new Congress will meet on April I for the purpose oi' carrying out the task glvcu to the puny by the people last fall. Tho r.ow Cabinet la rvmly to be S'jot to tbn donate for continual ion. Its av is considered high. So.co vi the arc regarded a's eviocpiionaliy wuilo none is poiuied oyt ss being ret.liy weak. But of this wholesale and historic cliaUfc'o iu tho National Government today, the thousands, of strangers Washington took little thought.

They nntdo celebration of it pure nnd simple. They bad imbibed the crrnlval spirit from tho beautiful women's suffrage pageant Vi tcrday. In fact, it was tho women who set tho pace for the holiday making. Probably Unit of tlie visitors will try to get away from Washington this afternoon anil tonight. Others will remain for several days longer.

Tho office seekers, and there are thousands of them, will bo here for weeks and weeks, hoping against l.opc, which in most cases will be deferred so long that their hearts will gro' tie k. Everybody is awaiting the l't'3t official acts of Woodrow Wilsou as president. The patronage hunters arc prepared to storm the White Houjc and to make the sies a long one necessary. Today was merely one of merrymaking. The serious job of Woodrow Wilson aud the Democratic party begins tomorrow.

Oath Administered at 1 P.M. The oath was udmini6tcrcd to Wilson at p.m. In brief inaugural address he utajo a fervid appeal to all patriotic men for i and aid.

If there Is anyLhiug wronr; with tho Boy Scouts, tho fellows would liko to know what It Is. Hardly day passes that tho Scouts don't do something new.

At lat the time has arrived, however, when something Is going to be done to them at least if the idea of Scoutmaster C. Burtis Hunter of 133 Decatur street Is carried out. Mr. Hunter believes that the Boy Scouts of Brooklyn should follow the example ot tho United States Army and have themselves inoculated against typhoid fever. Ho thinks that thla would be starting the youngsters out on tho right road, as na.t only would It be beneficial from the point of view of hygiene, but would also give the boys an Insight and a respect for our latest scientific, discoveries.

In accordance with this Idea, Mr. Hunter proposes to try it on his own troop first, "51," conuected with the Sumner Avenue Baptist Church, aud he has been In correspondence with Dr. S. S. Billings of tho Health Department In regard to thotreatmcnt.

Dr. Billings has expressed himself as pleased with the attitude that the scouts have taken, and Mr. Hunter feels that everything is ripe for his enterprise except that as yet the parents of only one boy have consented that their son should bo inocculatcd against the disease. is the latter point that Commissioner Holcombe, the executive head of the Boy Scouts of America in Brooklyn, is interested in, having delinitcly understood by everyone. Xo boy is In any way to be compelled to submit to the treatment, and no boy will be allowed to do so without the consent of his parents.

As yet the parents rave not exactly received the scheme with enthusiasm. WHITMAN CALLS SALOON MEN. Subpenas for Five Brooklyn Liquor Dealers in Graft Probe. Stiprnas were for live rr.loou-keeners In Williamsburg and tlrcctinoint today to appear before DliUrict Attorney whitman In and tell ot any protection money they might have paid police officials.

A woman accompanied by a lawyer who Would not the use of his name, visited Ihj oiriee of Mr. Whitman today anil spent an hour v.iih him. After that, she was in conference with one of his assistants, it is said that the woman will prove a more prolific witness than Mary Goodo in the police graft p'ube and that her accusations will be supported by proper corroboration.

That is the question I am going to try to answer, lu order, if I may, to Interpret luu oct a-1 siou. ir niin-ii mure tcan tht mere success of a party. The success of party success eit a phj. oui.i.ij means little except when the nation is using that party for a large aud definite purpose.

To Restore, Not Dsstroy. These are some of the things which wo ought to do, and not leave tho others undone, the old-fashioned, fundamental safeguarding of prop'-ny and of individual right. This is tho high tnteriiiise of liio new day: to Hit cvcrytlilng that our il'io as nation to the light that shines from the bcarthnra of every man's conscience r.nd vision of the right. It Is Inconceivable that we.

Wo shall deal with our economic system as it Is and as It may be modified, not as it might bo if he had a dean of pnyur to write upon; and stop by step shall make it. what it should be.

The nation hus been deeply sirred, stirred by a solemn passion, siirri'd by the knowledge of wront. of ideals lost, oi government too often debauched aud made an Instrument of evil.

The feelings with which wc face this now ago of right and opportunity swei-p our heartstrings liko some air out of (loii's own prmoe, whore Justice nnd mercy are reconciled and the Judge and the brother aro one. We know our task to be no mere task of politics but a task which snail search us through and through, whether we be nolo to understand our time and the n-od of oer people, whether wo be indeed their spokesmen and interpreters, v.ii-thr we have the pure heart to comprehend nnd the rectified will to choose high cour.n of action.
