Washington Also Feels Pull
sation of New Life AS In
auguration Draws Near
BUT STIRRING "DAY
BEFORE" NOT SEEN
This Lack of Hum Is Due
to Harding's Desire for
Simple Ceremonies

Washington, D. c.. March 3.-De-
spite the expressed desire of President
elect Harding for simple inaugural GER
emones, Washington to-day had as
sumed much of a pre- Inauguration air.
The streets were little more crowded
than usual, hotel rooms were some
what scarcer and flags and bunting in
profnsion made their appearance along
Pennsylvania avenue and in the down
town section.
Finishing touches were given to the
stand on the east portico of the Capt.
tol, where Mr. Harding will take the
oath of office and deliver his inaugural
address. Washington police made final
preparations for handling the crowds
expected to line Pennsylvania avenue
to see President Wilson and President
elect Harding ride to the Capitol.
Troops of cavalry at Fort Meyer, who
will form the single escort for the pres
idential party and several companies of
marines from Quantico who will be on
guard along the avenue, held final
drills in preparation for the part they
are to play in the event.
To Washington residents and odd
timers" to-day's contrast with former
days before Inauguration day was par
ticularly noticeable. They recalled that
in former years "the day before" had
seen the historic thoroughfare leading
from the Capitol to the White House
thronged with visitors, hotel lobbies
crowded and sleeping accommodations
at premium. Missing were the long
rows of temporary stands at conyen-
lent points along the avenue from
which thousands the next day would
view the parade and cheer the outgoing
and incoming presidents
Noticeable also was the absence OF
the rattle OF drums and the flare of
bands as scores of marching clubs, po-
litical clubs or military organizations
went through the city to advertise
themselves and their community and
to await the big day.
A light rain that began last night
stil was falling early to-day but for
Inauguration day the weather bureau
had predicted clear and colder.

ness, who. stated in communication
accompanying the measure that he had
not signed ii because of an evident err
ror in wording. He recommended that
a new bill be substituted, making the
necessary change.
The, governors communication said
that, in order to make the meaning Of
the measure clear, the word 'to" should
be substituted after the word "addi-
tion" in line seven of section one, so
that the bill would read "The city
council shall assess and lay all taxes
upon the grand list of said city and
in addition to such tax as may be nee
essary for the payment of all such
state, county and highway taxes as are
or may be required by law, it shall
have power annually to lay and as.
sess upon said grand list, such tax
which shall not exceed one hundred and
fifty cents upon the dollar thereof"
etc.
The particular line which the COVER
nor would have changed is part Of
the old law, which was not touched in
the amendments offered.

The demonstrations were given Rt
the request of the city conncilmen,
since the city contemplates the pur-
chase Of a tractor for street work. All
the tractors proved that the street
work could be done in a much faster
manner than with horses and full as
satisfactorily. The Cleveland tractor,

GERMANS ARE GRANTED
UNTIL MONDAY TO PUT
IN PROPOSAL TOALLLES
HARVARD RAISES
TUITION CHARGES
Because of Advance in Expenses and
Estimated Deficit of More
Than S3oo,ooo.

Cambridge, Mass, March 3.-An in
crease in tuition fees at Harvard uni
versity made necessary by an advance
in expenses and an estimated deficit for
this year of more than 100000 has
been voted by the corporation and the
board of overseers, it was announced
to-day The action is based on a rec
ommendation of committee repre-
senting the corporation and various
faculties.
Although the Harvard endowment
fund made possible 80 per cent raise
in teachers salaries, the report says,
there is imperative need for additional
income to meet increases in wages, ad
ministrative costs and expenses of
maintenance.
In it's recommendation the commit
tee that reported on the business con
dition Of the university characterized
the aid asked in the present financial
situation as an urgent emergency.
In Harvard college, the engineering
school, the graduate school of arts and
sciences, the school of architecture, the
school of landscape architecture and
the Bussey institution, the fee is raised
from 5000 to $3.50 year. This be-
comes effective next September.
Stipends of scholarships will be in
creased so as to impose no extra hard
ship on needy students. The amount
available in scholarships and other aids
in the college alone, thus will be raised
to considerably more than Sl50000 a
year
In the medical. school the increase
from 1925 to $500 will become effective
with those entering next year. All stu
dents in the dental school must pay a
5000 annual fee The law school rate
remains stationary as q raise was put
into effect last year.
The graduate school of education and
the divinity school are not affected.
A former charge OF SIS to each stu
dent for infrmary and care of health
will be re-established. This fee will be
included in the tuition rate of the
graduate school of business admins
tration which was Increased recently
TO S400. Provisions will be made for
loans to men in this branch of the uni
versity who cannot pay the full
amount at one time.
"All men," said Dean Wallace B.
Donham of this department, will be
expected to be able to pay eventually
BY reason of the increased earning ca
pacity brought about by their business
training.

POLL TAX FOR WOMEN
OPPOSED BY H4RTNESS
Vermont Governor Made This Appar-
ent in Vetoing S. %, Granting
Husband 0ne-Third Inter
est in Real Estate of
Deceased Wife.

That Gov Hartness opposes poll
tax for women is brought out in his
first veto message, which appeared in
the Senate last evening disappearing 5.
% which provides that husband
shall be entitled to third interest in
the real estate of his deceased wife,
thus equalizing between the husband
and wife tile benefits Of this section
OF the general laws.
In his veto message, Gov. Hartness
said in part
Il believe we have reached a time
at which we must 20 carefully in try
ing to equalize conditions which can
not be equalized For instance, a poll
tax imposed ON women will bar many
from voting because in large percent
age of families the weman is not the
money Garner. Any attempt to equalize
the voting privilege by imposing a tax
on the women members of the family
is not in the direction of equalization;
it is in the opposite direction.
80. too. the present bill dealing with
settlement Of estates and the distribu-
ton Of q wife's real estate on the face
of il would seem to be an equalzing
measure. In the average family. how
ever. the wife is closer than the hus-
band to the children. She should have
a right to will all her property to her
children Her part in bearing. nurtur-
ing. protecting and working for the
family is distinctly different from that
Of the husband.
Gov Hartness SAYS further in this
veto message that he believes the wom-
ems vote will register against meas
ure Of this nature because il is against
the best interests of the homo. He sug-
gests that tho enactment OF this meas
ure bv the men at his time will be
considered BY the women as taking an
unfair advantage
