Inauguration Crowds Greeted
by Blaze of Electricity for
Many Squares.

PENNSYLVANIA avenue was brightly IL
Illuminated last night for the inaugural
crowds Beginning at $50 o'clock, when
the electric lights were turned on, and
continuing until midnight, the historic
thoroughfare was as day.
Nine or ten thousand electric bulbs
spanned the roadway, high in air, IN
festoons, with great rosettes of red, white
and blue lights pendent from their CEN
tiers, extending from the Peace Monument
to 18th street AS many more mean
descent lamps illumned the public build
ings and mercantile houses on both sides.
Beautiful Court of Honor.
The court OF honor, opposite the White
House, presented beautiful spectacle.
Besides the lights stretched across the
street the branches of the high evergreen
trees were decorated with electric lamps
of many colors. and from the ground, in
concealed places, fountains Of light were
thrown over the foliage. Magazines of
electric lights illuminated with blush
haze the lower parts of the statues that
adorn the court.
The Peace Monument was again a foun-
tain, a strong jet of water being thrown
SIDE and illumined by red, green and yell
low box lights, played upon the descend
ing rain.
Searchight on Monument Top.
From the Raleigh Hotel roof the search
light was turned toward the Washington
Monument. It's high apex catching the
rays, stood out against the dark night sky
in solemn magnificence.
The court of honor was the center Of
the public illumination. But the illumina-
ton Of hotels. places of entertainment and
business houses, with the ever-changing
business signs made the avenue from 9Th
to 11th street the brightest stretch. Here
was the life of the evening.
The crown Of electric lights around the
roof cornice Of the government printing
Office. the wonted great volume Of light
from Union station and about its ap-
proaches. and the light in the Capitol
dome, announcing that Congress was in
session. were added features Of the set
illumination.

NO TURKEY TROTTINC
AT SCHOOL FESTIVAL
Dancing to Be Participated in BY Seven
thousand Children will Be
Old-fashioned Kind.

Although there will be dancing galore
at the open air field meet and festival.
in which 1000 school children will partici-
pate at Union League Park on the after
noon of May %, there will be nothing that
resembles the tango, turkey trot, bunny
hug, or the other oft-tabooed forms Of
modern stepping. DR.. Rebecca Stoneroad,
director of physical culture In the schools,
announced yesterday that at least nine
different styles of dancing will be INDUCED
in by the school boys and girls. and not
one of the nine is of the kind being in
dulged in by older people.
The dances are to all be folk dances
jolly, wide open. swaying and jumping
dances, participated in by boys and girls
who find real pleasure in real dances.
Each girl in the dances at the festival
will have boy partner. too.
The dances will be different from the
modern dances in other ways, also. Cos
TUNES in gay colors, which will be worn
by the dancers. have caused DIR. Stone
road and the others interested in the
festival a lot of thinking, trying to figure
out the most pleasing color schemes and
the best adapted costumes for each dif-
ferent dance. Material for the costumes
will be distributed to the dancers to-
day
Plans will all be discussed at meeting
of supervisors to be held Tuesday after
noon.

The visitors lost themselves during the
afternoon over the length and breadth
Of the city. They filed the sightseeing

inspected the Federal buildings and the

The ten thousand retreated back to

happy gathering when they reassembled
in the station, and they carried many
radical ideas along with them back to
rural Pennsylvania.

Washington was an excursion center
yesterday. More than 10000 visitors were
brought here from small cities. townships.
and villages Of Pennsylvania. Fourteen
special trains emptied their loads OF
sightseers at Union Station, which

throughout the morning.

FIRE DESTROYS
SUBURBAN CLUB
House-warming Which Was to
Have Been Held Yesterday
Postponed by Blaze.
LOSS is ABOUT $4,000
House Is to Be Rebuilt at Once Is
Dissemination Of the
Members.
LOSS is ABOUT $4,000

Fire OF unknown origin early yester-
day morning partially destroyed the new
clubhouse of the Washington Suburban
Club. in Georgia Avenue, near Delafield
Street Northwest, and caused the house
warming which had been planned for
yesterday to be indefinitely postponed.
The damage is estimated at 5000. About
$4,000 of this is on the building and about
1000 on the furnishings.
Fate decreed that the opening day of
the new club, instead of being one of
joy, should be one of disappointment.
The members who journeyed out to the
new club, expecting to enjoy a game
of golf and luncheon, found only the
charred and smoke blackened wreck Of
the new home of the club.
The members gathered on the lawn
near the smoldering ruins, and were
forced to content themselves with the
thoughts of what might have been. The
fire, it was announced by President King.
has only delayed the opening of the
club. Work of rebuilding the club will
begin at once and hurried to the earliest
possible completion.
The blaze was discovered early yester-
3,
Margaret Walton. thirteen-year-old
daughter of Steward Walton, who was
awakened by a cracking of flames
She aroused her father and mother
Mrs. Walton hurried to the telephone
and summoned Engine Company No. "A,
in Georgia Avenue. Her husband pulled
out the fire hose and began a single
handed fight against the flames.
The efforts of Steward Walton to pre-
vent the spread of the flames proved
futile. BY the time Engine Company No.
"a reached the scene the building was
mass of flames. The members of tn,
company were handicapped in getting
water to the burning building, owing t.
it's distance from the fire plugs. A Sec
ond alarm was turned in which brought
cut all of the suburban fire companies
to the scene. 1t required two hours OF
hard fighting before the flames could be
controlled.
Fire Marshal Nicholson was on the
scene early. After an investigation he
stated that the fire had apparently orig
mated from crossed or short circuited
wires under the main stairway Of the
main building.
While the ruins of the clubhouse were
still smoldering the members Of the club
gathered on the lawn and practically de-
cided to begin the rebuilding at once A
meeting of the board Of governors will
be held this week to determine definitely
the future policy of the club. In the
meantime portable lockers will be built
anu the golf links and tennis courts can
be used.
The clubhouse and grounds are those
formerly used by the old Columbia Coli
Club but the building had been COM
pleteiy overhauled and several additions
made.
The officers of the club are Harry
King, president; d. j. Kaufman, first
vice president: Morton j. Luchs, second
vice. president; A. D. Prince, treasurer,
and Stanley Fischer, secretary.
