thronged the Union station, passed out of
the gates and boarded the long trains for
home-''home' meaning the cities, towns

while heavy, bore not the slightest re-
s,emblance to the rush that mobbed the
station Tuesday afternoon and night
Don't Want Repetition.
Railroad men and employees Of the
Union station force declare they never
want to see another such mass of crazed
humanity as the one with which they
battled for several hours following the
parade Tuesday.
AS soon as the initial rush, that came
so suddenly and unexpectedly as to take
the big force of Union station employees
off their feet was over. the crowds were
handled with ease and smoothness, and
during the entire day yesterday. last
night and today not the slightest trouble
or hitch of any kind occurred in getting
the Inauguration crowds on their trains
and started for their homes. Practically
all the extra men brought here by the
Pennsylvania and other lines to serve as
police or guards during the rush have
been sent home and the few remaining
will be relieved today.
