WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-The thought

more than to 1. and some leaders ex-
pressed anxiety that the new men who
came in with the November landslide
and who are here for the meeting might
want to take hand in selecting officers
to serve for the next two years.
The opinion generally was expressed.

HARDING MISSES KISS
BY INAUGURATION HERE
Some Countries Greet New
Executives With Smack.

WASHINGTON, Feb. EFF Warren G..
Harding were preparing to be inaugu-
rated In the littlest, instead of the big
gest republic, there would be no talk OF
simple ceremonies. That's not the way
they do 1t In San Marino, according to
a review of inaugural customs made
public to-day by the National Geo
graphic Society.
An incoming official in San Marino
dons medieval garments and marches
through the streets. preceded by heralds
and gorgeously uniformed escorts to at
tend a preliminary church service. His
predecessor occupies a conopied throne
at the church until the final moment
when the new official is installed, when
he takes the throne seat and dons a
headdress indicative of his office.
If 1t were in France, Mr.. Harding
would take his oath at what corresponds
to the White House. and the ceremony
would conclude when his predecessor
kissed him upon both cheeks
In Mexico he would be sworn in at
midnight in the House Of Representa- =
tives, and the outgoing President would
embrace him.
In Brazil he would be encircled with
a broad, colored band supporting a
medal as the insignia of the Presidency.
'h NHiie He Wouiu take odlH pelOre
Joint session of Congress and go first to
a special TIE Deunl sehvice, then visit the
retiring President.
In Poland he would walk ii his off,
cial residence preceded by herald cry
ing Uncover before tho most noble
President"
In the United States alone, weather
permitting, does the incoming Chief Ex-
ecutive take his oath in the open air.
That custom arose because of a dispute
between Senate and House when Monroe
was inaugurated as to which should
have the honor. lapsed when Jackson
took the oath indoors and has been the
invariable rule ever since. except when
a blizzard drove President Taft to
shelter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Coneress in

duced to-day by Representative Mac

protesting against the appointment of
Herbert G. Hoover as Secretary Of Com
merce. He would not make the text of
the telegram public and said he did not
wish to make any public statement
about the matter at this time.
At some time later, Senator Reed said,
he will give public expression to his
views. Whether he will do this in the
present session or will wait until next
session. after the nomination of Mr..
Hoover is sent In, he has not deter
mined. He would not indicate whether
he would carry his opposition to the
point Of trying to hold up Mr.. Hoover's
confirmation.
Republican Senator'S would not dis
cuss the matter beyond saying they fully
believed Mr. Hoover's nomination would
be confirmed.
All during the public career of Mr..
Hoover Senator Reed has been one of
his most persistent critics and has as
sailed him repeatedly In speeches in
the Senate and in interviews. His op-
position to the selection, therefore, is not
unexpected

will hold over. Election OF a steering
committee may be deferred.
Leaders predicted there would be no
important changes in the heads of the
big committees and that the seniority
rule would still hold. Chairman Esch
OF the Interstate Commerce Committee
will retire and his place probably will
be taken by Representative Winslow OF
Massachusetts,, ranking Republican
member.
A threatened fight against Chairman
Volstead Of the Judiciary Committee
was said to have collapsed.
In anticipation OF a call by Mr.. Har-
ding for special session to begin about
the first OF April most of the House
leaders will remain in Washington to
have business in shape for the opening.
Representative Kitchin Of North Caro-
lima. who is slated for Democratic
leader to succeed Champ Clark. who
retires March 4. hopes to be back in
harness for the new session.
Because of the small number of DEM
ocrats in the House, reports have spread
that Democratic representation on COM
mittees will be rather sharply reduced.

FAME FROM SAME POST
F. D. Roosevelt Also Won Dis.
tinction There.

If Theodore Roosevelt does not go so
far as did his illustrious father it will
not be that the fates did not decree for
him a similar start. 1t was from the
relative obscurity of the Assistant Sec
retaryship Of the Navy Department that
the elder Theodore leaped into fame by
way of the Spanish war. AS matter
OF fact Theodore the younger started
his political career with far greater re-
nown than his father, for the former,

ness connections almost the moment

went into training In Plattsburg. He

such intent at the time he declined to
