HARDING TO KISS BIBLE USED
BY WASHINGTON UPON TAX
ING OATH OF OFFICE AT
HIS INAUGURATION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Presi-
dent-elect Harding plans on taking
the oath of office March A to press
his lips to the bible that was used at
the first Inauguration of George
Washington
In compliance with Mr.. Harding's
wishes, Elliot Woods, superintendent
of the capitol, arranged today with
the st. Johns Lodge No. l, A. F. e. A.
NJ, of New York city, for the use Of
the bible 1t will be brought to
Washington by a committee of Ma
sons.
So far as the records show, this
will be the fourth occasion on which
there has been a departure from the
usual custom of having the clerk of
the supreme court furnish the bible
used in an Inauguration. President
Cleveland insisted that the bible
given him by his mother be used
at both of his inaugurations, and
President Mckinley, when first sworn
in, agreed to use copy presented by
a body of African bishops.
The bible Washington kissed was
borrowed from St. Johns lodge of
Masons on the day Washington was
inaugurated after officials in charge
of the ceremonies found that there
was no bible in the federal building.
