'the ceremony. AS the continuing
body of the legislative branch of
the government it was the officially
recognized group. The Senate Cham
ber was held to be too small for
the ceremony and it was decided that
the inauguration would be held in
the House Chamber, what is now
Statuary Hall. So far everything
was all right.
The House protested, unofficially,
but plans went ahead. The Senate,
however, felt that the aspect of the
House Chamber was not imposing
enough for so dignifed a group as
itself and sent word that it would
have the red morocco chairs moved
from the Senate Chamber into the
House.
Henry Clay was then Speaker of
the House. He, leading the group
of Representatives of the people, re-
helled. Word went to the Senate
that the Senate could use the House
Chamber, but that it would have to
be content to sit on the split bot
toned chairs used by the Represent
atives. The Senate then chose to
ignore the House altogether, and
Monroe's Inauguration was held on
the Senate side Of the Capitol porch.
House Gets Recognition
"Uncle" Joe Cannon was the leader
OF the House who finally settled all
this resentment over the Senate's
monopollzation of the inauguration
ceremony. Before President McKin-
ley's second inauguration the bill for
appropriations for the ceremony
came to the House, as usual. Mr..
Cannon was chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee. The bill passed
the House, but attached to it was
a rider stipulating that the House
should be represented on the inau-
guration committee, that the affair
should be joint affair of the House
and Senate. This bill finally passed
the Senate. and Uncle Joe, as joint
chairman from the House, rode with
President Mckinley and Senator
Mark Hanna in the inaugural pa
rade.

TINE forecast for President
Harding's Inauguration is a
bareback. By this is not
meant the weather bareback which
mined the day twelve years ago,
when President Taft took the oath
If Office. but a bareback in pro-
esdure to the ways of Jeffersonian
simplicity.
A plain ceremony on the east
front Of the Capitol and the auto
mobile ride to and from the White
House, with only a few attending
troops, will be the extent of pomp
and show as far as the President is
concerned. In these days of more
complicated democracy it is to be
doubted whether Mr.. Jefferson HIM
SELF could think of any more sim
ple and democratic management of
the program.
Expected Big Time
For few days the inauguration
plans were in a state of "off agin.
on agin.' The city of Washington
was looking forward to big time
Congress was interested, at least to
the extent of appropriating $4,000,
and the newspaper bureaus were
wondering which persons on their
stats would write the picture
story"
Then President-elect Harding set
tied the unrest and controversy over
this, that and the other detail by
declaring for "the simplest inaugu-
ration program consistent with the
actual requirements in taking the
oath Of Office and the utterance of
heftting address"
Orders were cancelled right and
left. Hotel men said that they had
not meant to charge outrageous
prices; restaurants announced that
they had not intended to make their
meals more expensive; and one sec
ond-h hand store advertised dress suits
&, one-third the rent it usually
charged.

"hlsperings against the "Senatc

about the autocracy of such closed

every hand.
But the democratic angle of the
ceremony has been provided for, also
the lumber in the Capitol grounds.
Weather permitting, of course.
President Harding will take the oath

No Set Ceremony

The inauguration ceremony has
no set plan. 1t has varied with the
different times and men with which
it was connected. The main point is
that the President elect be sworn
into Office. The oath is administered
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. a new Bible is furnished for
each President. The Book is opened
at random and the verse kissed by
the President is marked. Then the
Bible is inscribed and presented to
the First Lady of the Land. Presi-
dent Cleveland was sworn on
little old Bible that had belonged
to his mother. Occasionally pre-
sentation Bibles are used, one of the
most famous of these being the huge
book given to President Mckinley
by the African bishops. It was soI
large that it. had to be carted To-
the ceremony on a wheelbarrow.
Sometimes the verses kissed bv,
the President by chance have inter
esting significance. When Theodore
Roosevelt was sworn in he kissed

Versailles, Ky, March 14.--Richard
James, negro, charged with the MUIR
der of two white men at Midway this
county, was taken from Woodford
county Jail by a mob early Sunday and
hanged to tree two miles from this
city.
The negro was asleep in his cell
when the mob of fifty men, who are
said to have come from Midway in
seven automobiles. surrounded the Jail
Four men from the mob entered the
Jail and aroused John T. Adgar jailer,
forced him to give up his keys and
proceeded to the cell of the negro.
James showed fight when the men
told him to step out Of the cell. One
of the four men then struck the negro
on the head with blackjack.
A rope was placed around james
neck and he was dragged to the street
and thrown into an automobile.
The mob then drove to the inter-
section of the Frankfort and Midway
pixies, where the negro was hanged,
His body was cut down several
hours later by officials. Just before
being executed James, it is reported,
admitted he was guilty of the muir
ders.
James was charged with having
murdered Ben T. Rogers and Homer
Nave during an attempt to steal
whisky from a distillery warehouse
at Midway.
On the night of October 8, 1920,
James, with companions, broke into
the distillery and had prepared twelve
cases of whisky for removal when
heard by a guard.
Rogers and Nave, young men living
in Midway, went to the assistance of
the guard, and Rogers. it is said,
grappled with James.
The negro is said to have drawn a
revolver and shot Rogers in the back
twice as they struggled Then, it was
charged, James shot down Nave.
