Washington Business Men will
ing to Contribute $4,000
for March 4 Function.
SHUN MERcENARY IDEA
Committee Considers Question
of Guard of Honor for Presi-
dent March S.

Washington's business and profes-
sional men will individually contri-
butte $4,000 or more for an inaugural
ball to be held in Washington on the
night Of March 8, IL President Wilson
will attend It.
Reasons given in the past for the
Presidents attitude on that quad
riennial function were that he op-
posed the selling of tickets for an
event at which the Chief Executive
was the attraction.
Washingtonians, hoping to rid the
ball OF the mercenary idea, have sug-
gested defraying its expenses with
private contributions.
Thought to Disspprove.
1t is generally Understood among
persons familiar with the Presidents
position that he would not approve
such a function, even though no
tickets were placed on sale, It Is
said that he opposes INAUGURAL balls,
such as have been given in the past,
on general principles. and could not
be induced to attend one. 2
Another question being given much
consideration by the inaugural COM
mittee is the selecting of a guard of
honor to escort the President from the
White House to the Capitol and re-
turn on March 8. Whether "The
Presidents own" the cavalry organ
ization formed here some months ago,
will receive this honor, or whether
It will fall to some other -organiza-
tion, either State or from the regular
service, has not been decided.
At the first Inauguration, the noted
Essex troop, Of Newark, N. J., was
the guard OF honor of Mr.. Wilson.
