military companies. After his inaug- uration, he gave huge public recep- tion, which set mark for social functions of that day, and in the even ing he attended an inaugural ball.
 John Quincy Adams failed to follow his fathers example, for his inaugu- ration led the way for real inaugural celebrations. The inauguration par ade was the greatest display that the nation had ever seen up to that time, and the social functions which fol- lowed were most elaborate. The guest of honor was John Adams, the second president of the United States and the father of John Quincy Adams.
 Jackson Had Old Guard.
 When Andrew Jackson took office it was in the midst of bitter partisan struggle. John Quincy Adams took a long horseback ride, rather than to attend the inaugural and the only uni formed military troop available re- fused to escort Jackson and he finally went to the capitol under the escort of an old guard of revolutionary vet erans, hastily called into service. Jackson made an impression, how- ever, on the crowd that gathered to hear him make his inaugural address on the capitol portico, which was used for the first time for that purpose. At the close of his address he was the center of a storm of admirers, and going into their midst he held an in- formal reception. The crowds tagged along, cheering wildly as he returned to the White House. At the White House the crowd became mob and ran wild thru the mansion, causing great damage to the furnishings.
 Martin Van Buren's inauguration brought great crowds to Washington and the carnival spirit prevailed. Van Buren rode to the capitol in state the frigate Constitution, drawn by four horses elaborately bedecked with brass-mounted harness.
 Harrison Rode White Charger.
 Preparations for great parade were made for William Henry Harrison and the Whigs turned out in great force. President Harrison refused to ride to the capitol in state, however, but mounted his favorite saddle horse, a white charger, and cantered down Pennsylvania avenue bareheaded and acknowledging the plaudits of the huge crowds that wanted to pay their respects to "0ld Tippecanoe." James K. Polk rode at the head of g great parade in his inaugural process sion, thru heavy rain and sea of mud.
 Zachary Taylor was known as "Old Rough and Ready" and his inaugura- tion seemed to fit that characteriza- tion, for it was the nosiest celebra- tion that staid old Washington had ever witnessed. General Taylor laid away his fayorite military costume, however, and rode in carriage drawn by four gray horses to the capitol at the head of an enthusiastic noise producing parade.
 Slush filled the streets when Frank lin Pierce fell into line with his pred ecessors and headed an inaugural parade.

- "IS NO RAILROAD TRAFFIC"
Business Now Is Worst Since 1907
 Panic. w. Nj. Corbett Says.

That travellers who have told decent lv of passenger coaches occupied by as few as three and four persons on long trips were in no wise exaggerat- ing conditions, was the assertion yes terday of local railroad officials. When asked yesterday concerning the traf- fic situation. w. M. Corbett, president of the Kansas City Terminal Company, said:
 "There is no traffic"
 MT. Corbett said the dearth of busi- ness applied not only to the passenger business, but was general in all lines.
 .In short" Mir. Corbett said, the railroads are simply up against it. Without the actual figures before me, it is my opinion the railroads thru the country has not suffered from lack of business, as they are now suffering since the panic of 1907"
 For the last several months business has continued to drop off more and more, each month being worse than the one preceding, until now there are m the United Stateseapproximately 500,- 900 freight cars standing idle. accord ing to recent reports, Mr. Corbett said said

Spring had barely banished the ice on the Potomac river ard the roads were still muddy from the thawing frosrs, when George Washington ieIt Mount Vernon on April 16, 1789, Tn horse-drawn carriage for New fork 10 take the oath of office. The nrst presl- dent had proceeded no farther than Georgetown--then c thriving port and now a residential section of washing ton-when he was met by cavalcade For the next fourteen days his drive was a procession of honor, with cele- brations all along the route as he pro- ceeded. On April 30, l1S9, the guns boomed at Fort George in New York Harbor and the first inauguration was under way. The streets of New York were thronged as George Washington, in a stage coach, proceeded by military bodies and dignified delegations, drove to the Federal building and took the oath of office. The guns boomed forth again and the church bells pealed as Washington, attired in dark brown bfoadcloth and properly bewigged, drove back to the presidential man sion.
 John Adams, second president, set q new fashion when he was inaugur- ated at Philadelphia. Street parades and displays were absolutely lacking when he was inducted into office, and the meagre newspaper accounts of the ceremony indicate that there was little enthusiasm as Adams was inaugural ed.
 Jefferson Rode Horse.
 Thomas Jefferson's inauguration is the subject of historical controversy. John Sharp Williams. senator from Mississippi, and an authority on the life of Jefferson, declares that Jeffer- son rode to the capitol, tied his horse to a hitching post, was inaugurated and then went back to his boarding house and took his usual place at the dinner table. Other historians declare that Jefferson was escorted to the cap- itol by a troop of militia. All agree, however, that Jefferson set his mind against all display and counted his in- aupuration as a matter of but little import. At least, it is certain that Jefferson was not escorted by the out going president, for history records show that John Adams drove away from Washington during the night in order that he might not see or hear the Jefferson inaugural
 Madison's Big Celebration. James Madison did not take his cue from Jefferson, for his inauguration was the signal for a great celebration and a parade in which large numbers of federal troops participated. Nine companies of militia, considerable force for that time, escorted Presi- dent Madison and he was ushered into the Senate chamber take the oath by a senatorial committee and mem- bers of the cabinet. Tn the evening President Madison and ex-President Jefferson both attended an inaugural ball.

 UNDER CHARGES
Little Rock Judge Tells Grand Jury That Girls Are Compromised When Given Jobs-SeHate and House
 sO Impeach.

Little Rock, March 7.--lnterest in Legislation, administrative or other wise, was sidetracked today and scenes probably never before enacted in leg islative circles took the front amidst plans for impeachment proceedings, as well as abolition of his office, against Circuit Judge John w. Wal den, of the Pulaski circuit.
 The fight on Judge Wade started when copies of the Arkansas Demo crat containing Judge Wade's instruc- tions to new Pulaski county grand jury reached the legislature. The charges instructed the grand jury to conduct an investigation of the nor als of members of the 1921 legisla- ture, Judge Wade declaring that he had been told by peace officers that the 1921 general assembly was "the most loosely moraled body that ever sat in the capital in the history of the state."
 Judge Wade told the grand jury that young girls had told him that, when applying for positions in the legislature, they were told by mem bers that it would be necessary for them to compromise themselves if they desired jobs.
 Judge Wade also declared to the new grand jury that moonshine liquor parties were nightly occurrences, and that such parties had been given by politicians seeking to perpetrate them selves; by road commissioners and bene6ciaries of road districts seeking to prevent repeal of road legislation.
 Judge Wade toid the grand jury that if there were any members who "were afraid to do their duty" or who place the dollar above their convictions" to advise him privately and he would excuse them from duty. Judge Wade enumerated many other affairs which he demanded to be investigated
 There were storms in both houses when the newspapers containing the charges were distributed by newsboys.
 Immediately resolutions condemning Judge Wade were introduced and rapidly adopted, without dissenting votes. Representative McHaney, speaking for the Pulaski county dele gation in the house. took the floor and made a spirited attack upon Judge Wade
 Speaker Joiner took the floor and denounced the charge to the grand jury, declaring he took it as a per- soaal attack, as he has been instru- mental in the placing of most posi- tions in the house, land one of these young girls is my sister," he declared.
 The senate adjourned and marched to the house in body. President Ca- zort took the speakers stand and told the house members that, whatever had been the differences between the house and senate heretofore, the two bodies stood as one and undivided, and that the senate would cast it's full strength 35 votes-in favor of any steps taken by the house.
 A few minutes later special com- mittee reported, with bill abolishing the office of circuit judge of the first division in Pulaski.
 The bill was read twice and made a special order for passage tomorrow morning.
