I Carnival and Jubilee spirit were COM

ton in the memory OF the oldest OF the
present generation went into history.
, Pennsylvania avenue. scene OF many
Of the usost stirring spectacles in Ameri-
can his.or!-. had relatively but & measre
and unenthusiastic crowd. It paid tribute
to Woodrow Wilson and to tho new
President but it was quiet and orderly.
Lack OF the usual picturesque military
and civil parade ana Of all forms OF
festivity, absence OF the court OF honor
ana usual decorations ana reviewing
stands from the Capitol to the White
House ard beyond and utter lacl; Of
spectacle cut the crowds down from
hundreds OF thousands to tens OF thou-
sands.
There were a large number OF visi-
tors in the city, but the crowds bore
10 relation to the hundreds Of thou
sands that in the past came from every
State in the Union by special ana ex-
curslon trains for an inaugural There
were no special or excursion trains and
the hotels were but well filed.
The contrast apparently had distinct
psychological effect. There was no wild
cheering and flag waving as the Presi-
dent and President-elect drove down the
avenue to the Capitol and none when
the new President drove to the White
House. Both cavalcades were generously
spplauded and in manner cheered, but
there were no wild bursts OF enthusiasm
such as usually mark the event.
IN spite OF the fact OF repeated and
broadcast publication that the ceremony
would be marked by the utmost sirl-
! plicity, many visitors came to Wash
\ ington IN the expectation OF seeing soms-
thing OF spectacle. Many along the
streets complained bitterly. One mar
! from New York told his neighbor tina,

and he had brought his family here a,

sure be q parade and a band, and she
too. was woefully disappointed.
| The contrast was striking. The ave-
| nue. was roped OF, but the police did
not even remove the surface car load

boys met with heavy business reverse

An airplsne manned by Capt Claude

corps carried to washington yesterday a
message from Mayor John r. Hylan to
President Warren G. Harding. Ths
Mayor wrote:
"DeGr MT. President Permit me 70

rounded him. They told him he was out
and they would not in any circumstances
confirm him for anything. that he was
out and would stay out. His nomination
was vociferously confirmed, however. in
executive session without reference TO
committee.
Flags on the House and Senate wings
OF the Capitol we're at half mast. This
was mark Of respect for Champ Clark
It had measured effect upon the SIM
piicity and dignity OF the ceremony
Much of the interest OF the crowd at
the actual inaugural ceremony centred
in a little blue gowned, or blue suited

washington, ID. O.. March 4.
FOR the first time in the history
of outdoor inaugurations of
American Presidents every per-
son witnessing the ceremonies in
front of the Capitol to-day heard
the oath administered. Persons
nearly a third of a mile away
were able to distinguish clearly
every word Of the oath uttered
by Chief Justice White.
The incident is all the more
remarkable for the reason that
the venerable Chief Justice Of
the United States Supreme
Court speaks in very low tones,
which are lost to auditors in the
Supreme Court chamber, a very
small room where absolute quiet
prevails.
The huge high powered am
plifier used at the inaugural
stand provided the necessary
acoustics.

for equipment and supplies have
proved a dead loss, and we may
have been compelled to buy for

things that under more favorable
conditions our soils would have
produced.
Practically all the. crops suited
