WILL GET TO WORK AT ONCE.
Speaking to a STAR reporter this morning
Chairman Berret said: az have endeavored to
appoint list which will be satisfactory TO
every one, representing all the various
phases Of life here, social, business and
poitical-in fact, a committee represen-
tative Of Washington. 1t is eminently
Ill.
We will be able TO make the coming inausura-
ton as great a success as any of its predeces-
sors. Above all other cities Washington Is a
hospitable city and we have proved time
and again our ability to care for the
largest crowds and to entertain them
we'll / am confident that this committee
will be ready to buckle down by next Tuesday
and start in at once. There is an immense
amount OF work to be done and we will have to
get at it without delay, but We have one big ad-
vantage in the fact that we are used to this
sort of work. II is no new business
THE INAUGURATION BALL.
There is one problem that will confront the
| committee, but as yet nothing has been done in
| the matter and Col Berret was unwilling to
discuss what may be done when the COM
mittee meets. The 4th of March comes
on Saturday next year and the ques-
ton of the customary inaugural ball
az once coines up IN tnls connectlon- Inc
ball hardly ever gets under full Roadway much
before midnight and this would bring it into
Sunday morning. This being the case
| there might be a good deal of diff
iculty in securing a government build.
ing for the ball. The suggestion has
been made that great promenade concert be
substituted for the customary ball. with the
Marine Band and other famous musical organi-
cations as the attractions. This matter will
probably be one of the first to receive consid-
Grafton a: the hands of the full committee.
