Mai. Gessford addressed the as
semblage last night. and stated how
much he appreciated the voluntary
augmentation of the police depart
ment, which otherwise would be in
a bad way, as no funds had been al
lowed this year for extra men. be-
cause of the proposed simplicity OF
the Inauguration ceremonies.
The special policemen will be as
signed to places along Pennsylvania
avenue to regulate traffic and be on
the lookout for all kinds Of disorder.
Men will also be assigned to the va
rious precinct stations. and detail

powerful automobiles will be sta

transport the detectives to any place
where any trouble should arise in
the city.

the Motor Corps, stated that this

fense League. Washington would
have the best protection of any in

Calls Weather "Natural,"
While the hotel lobbies were scenes
OF activity today. there was a lack of
excitement that in former years
! marked the advent of new Presi-
dent.
\ veteran hotel man looked out at
the falling rain today and remarked:
Nothing Seems natural but the

Perhaps the most noticeable thing
missing was the music. Bands by the
! score have come TO Washington for
inaugurations before, but on this oc-
casion they are hard to find.
The principal music probably will
be that played by a machine and sent
out over the east Capitol plaza by the
''amplifier." which will enable the
thousands who gather there to hear
the new Presidents speech.
Rest Place to Hear speech.
Bell telephone experts. who have
installed the apparatus. said today that
the best place to hear the speech, or
the music that will precide it, is from
$50 to 400 feet away from the stand,
and little to one side. Those who
have listened to the apparatus being
tried out have generally made the mis-
take of being too close. If the atmos-
pheric conditions are good it may be
able to hear distinctly as far away as
the steps of the Congressional Library.
Thirty former soldiers, blinded dur
ing the war, will have seats of honor
Immediately in front of the stand from
which Mr. Harding will speak They
will come from the Red Cross Institute

/. HANDLING CROWDS
Maj. Gessford Believes He
Has Adequate Assistance
for Any Emergency.

Washington's police force. number
ing some 900 men. will be assisted in
handling the inaugural crowds to-
morrow by 400 men of the Home De-
fense League, 500 infantrymen from
Camp Meade. 500 marines from Guam
tico. 1900 High School Cadets and
1900 Boy Scouts.
Maj. Harry l.. Gessford, superin-
tendent of police. said today he did
not expect trouble in handling the
crowds. though the absence of the
usual reviewing stands would make
the crush on the sidewalks more
noticeable.
He believes that the force on hand
will be sufficient for any emergency,
and arrangements have been made to
care for any person who may weak
en- under the strain of the crowd or
the excitement.
Practically every member of the po-
lice force will be on duty tomorrow
until late hour. and care will be
taken in their distribution to insure
protection of the residential parts OF
the city. Automobiles will be used
extensively for that purpose.
Inspector Clifford l.. Grant. chief
OF detectives, will be on duty at
headquarters during the day, as will
Inspector Charles y. Evans, assistant
superintendent of police.
There will be no corps of de-
tectives here from other cities to
help in picking up crooks" from
out of town. Congress having failed
to appropriate any fund to provide
such protection. This has caused In

tions against pickpockets and sneak
