letter to William Corcorap Eustis,
chairman OF the inaugural COM
l. mittee, today President elect
Wilson called of the historic in
augural ball. which heretofore has been
the important social function in connec-

represented 90 the president elect, that
the bail IS always a source of more or less
expense TO the government, no less than
$4,000 in the services of the clerks in the
pension building, who have TO be laid
off while preparations for the bail are be-
Ing made. The president elect cannot
see where the ball serves any useful pur-
pose. Moreover, it Will save So each 20
the persons who would have attended.
The president elects decision in this
matter is in keeping with his desire to
make the inauguration as simple as
possible. Already at his request the in
augural parade has been greatly con-
tracted in length, 1t will be recalled
that he has also determined to cut out
the daily receptions at the White house
and devote his time to the business OF
