Be No BALL
FOLLOWING
CEREMONIES
THERE WAS NONE IN 1918 AND
THERE WILL BE NONE FOLLOW
ING INAUGURATION TODAY -
OLD PRECEDENT.

Washington, March 8. - President
Wilson's opposition TO the time hon
ored inaugural ball has been maintain
ed over all the pressure brought to
bear for such an event and there will
be no reception or other social affair
TO take its place.
There was no ball at the presidents
Inauguration in 1913 and that was the
first time since 1877 that such an
event had not been the climax Of the
ceremonies Of the day. In 1877 the
Hayes.Tilden controversy upset all in
auguratirn plans The final vote Of
the tribunal which seated Presiden;
Hayes was not announced until March
9, and there was no opportunity for
arranging a ball
All other presidents since Lincoln
have rec gnized the function which
generally has been held in the spa
cious corridor OF the pension office.
Trades people of the capitol who con
tribute largely to the fund raised for
those parts Of the inaugural ceremon.
les not strictly connected with the gov,
ernment always look forward to the
inaugural ball as one means of re-
! cOuping their investments. In bygOne
years the expenditures ror gowns and
jewels have left many thousands OF
dollars with the shops, and the mer
chants have been unfagging in then
campaign to influence the president
TO have the ball But Mr. Wilson dis
| likes social functions of the kind anC
has been steadfast in his determine
tion that 10 such affair should accom-
pany his Inauguration.
