WILL Ride TOGETHER,

At the Inauguration of a Presi-
dent Of the United States it is usual
for the outgoing Chief Executive
to ride with his successor to the
Capitol and return with him to the
White House. But it has not been
so in every case. More than a
hundred years ago Adams refused
to accompany Jefferson, the found
er of the Democratic party. In
1909 Roosevelt rode with Taft to
the Capitol but did not return with
him to the White House. Instead
the ex-Presidcnt drove TO the sta
tion and took train for New York
And there may be other excep-
tionS.
But President Wilson, it is defini-
tely given out in Washington, will
do all the honors to his successor.
Senator Harding did not accept the
several courtesics offered him by
the President since his election.
giving, as we think. satisfactory
reasons for declining them. Mr..
Wilson can always be depended on
10 DO the thing propriety requires
and which gentleman should do.
On the morning Of March 4th he
will drive with Prcsident-elcct
Harding down The avenue to the
Capitol for the inaugural address.
II is stated at the White House the
Presidents health is now such that
II will be possible for him to follow
precedent in this respect. The trip
down the avenue" as PENNSYLVANIA
avenue is called, has been a mooted
mater in the arrangements for the
inaugural parade. The White
House decision settles the question.

BEcKLEY MURDER WAS MOST BRUTAL.

One of the most brutal crimes in
the annals of Raleigh county was
committed at Bcckley few days
ago, when Frank Donate, all Italian
stranglcd his common-law wife.
Bessie Dontato, nee Woods. to death
The brutal affair was not discover
cd until late Tuesday, when neigh
bors, recalling that sounds Of con-
flict had come from the house on
Saturday afternoon and that Donate
had been seen leaving the home
shortly afterwards, entered the
house and found the dead body Of
the woman.
In inflicting death the man had
knotted a rope about her neck and
evidently held it until she died.
There was no evidence of hanging
or other violence by which death
might have been caused. The rope
was still bound around the woman's
neck when the body was found. II
Is presumed. Donate, with brutal
strength, caught the woman by SUR
prise and threw the rope over her
head.
