MAGNIFICENT SCENE OF BRILLIANCE IN
 SENATE AND ON THE THOROUGHFARES
 REPRESENTATIVES, FROM ALL THE WORLD
Continued From Page One)

ance with time honored custom their appearance was heralded with pomp and platitude sufficient to atone for the simplicity of the official acts of the occasion, if not to quite overshad- ow them. These guests included the foremost representatives of official life of the Capital city, foreign and domestic. civil and military, and also many other persons of prominence from all parts of the country.
 On the Senate floor, with his cabi- net, was the President of the United States, himself about to be inaugu- rated; the Diplomatic corps, the Su- preme Court of the United States, the House of Representatives, the A1:Giii- ral of the Navy, the Lieutenant Gen eral of the Army, the governors of states, and others distinguished by reason of position or achievement. These sufficed to tax the capacity of that part of the hall. and they were splendidly supplemented and sur rounded by the attendance in the gal leries, consisting in large part of the wives, relatives and friends of the men who occupied seats below, many Oi hhCAA co III PilNdNC and social life as the others in the public service.
 Practically all the variety of hue and vivacity of scene came from the galleries, for aside from the decora- tions worn by the foreign representa- tives and the gold lace with which the uniforms of the few army and navy officers present were decorated, there was a dull level of black and brown on the first floor This monotony was relieved somewhat in the background by sprinkle of gold on the gray walls of the chamber, but it was not sufficient to compensate for the ab- sence of animation which only the la dies. with their flowers and ribbons and feathers could contribute. The section of the gallery usually devot- ed to the private use of Senators was today entirely surrendered to what may be called the executive party, and was occupied by the families and i'm mediate friends of the President and Vfce-President, and of the members of the Supreme Court and the Cabinet. The front row of seats on one side of this section was filled by the members of the Presidents household, and the corresponding row on the other side by those of the Vice-President, Mrs. Roosevelt and the wife and mother of Vice-President Fairbanks being promi- nent among the.
 The Diplomatic gallery, which is rarely occupied by more than two or three persons at time, was crowded today by the wives of representatives of the various foreign embassies and legations, all manifesting much eager ness to witness what they evidently considered an exceptional ceremony.
 Directly opposite that quarter nu- merous members of the newspaper fraternity occupied their usual places in the press gallery, most of them dil- igcntly engaged in portraying the in- teresting scenes about them. Other portions of the gallery were given over to persons holding special tick cts. Every niche and cTanny was filled, but the careful prearrangement which limited the number of tickets to the exact capacity of the hall pre- vented unseemly crowding.
 The gallery visitors were practical ly all in their seats before the off cial guests began to make their ap- pearance. This circumstance was due to the fact that while the officials were detained until a specified time, the gallery doors were opened at Il o'clock, and ticket holders permitted to enter any time thereafter. They found none of the star performers in their assigned places, if Senators may be excepted, but the wait was not long, and in the mean time the gallery visitors easily devised entertainment among themselves.
 The Senators, many of them show ing fatigue as the result of recent long hours of labor, were grouped to- gether compactly on the Republican side of the chamber. an arrangement necessary to make room for other dig nitaries.
 The two big round-faced gold clocks which front with solemn mein and in stately service from the north and south walls of the Senate Chamber, had measured the time up 11:45, when the first of the special guests ar rived. They had marched over Tn a body to the quarters of the Senate through the long corridor from their own hall at the other end of the capi- tol, headed by their redoubtable lead CT, Speaker Cannon, with all the as- surance of an invading army, and when the south doors of the Senate chamber swung open and Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Layton announced The Speaker and the House of Rep resentstiyes,' tkey walked proudly to the seats assigned them on the Demo cratic side of the chamber. accepting as their due the honor done them when, upon the stroke of the gavel of the president pro tempore. the Sen ate and It's visitors rose as one per son to welcome them.
 The Speaker had scarcely taken his
