the sort that only Washington inau-

from the border; regiments Of

In addition to the bad weather
there was another rift in the inau-

gamblers and pickpockets who came
to town without any bands to meet
the visitors. They were met by al
most as many police from big cities.
Public buildings will be lighted to-
night and the parade course will be
bright with heavy lines of colored
lights.
At noon tomorrow Pres. Wilson
