Washington, March 5.--Warren Gam
abel Harding was inaugurated Presi-
dent OF the United States Friday with
ceremonies as simple as those the
historians have described in chronicl-
ing the induction into office of George
Washington, more than century ago.
Had Mr.. Hardings personal wishes
been adhered to strictly, the cere-
monies would have been even more
simple, but the Congressional lnau-
gdral Committee made some arrange
ments on It's own account. These in
cluded a cavalry escort of four troops
for the president in his ride from his
hotel to the cabitol and thence to the
White House.
This little cavalcade contrasted
strangely with the great military and
civil processlcns which have attended
fnaugurations for half a century or
more.
Besides the cavalry escort, the con-
gressLonal committee also had arrang-
e1 to have several companies of ma
rines in full dress uniform at the
capitol as a guard of honor and for
| the presence of the Marine Band
"the Presidents Own"-which played
"Tne Star Spangled Banner" imme-
diately after Mr.. Harding had taken
the oath of office.
The very simplicity of the cere-
monies on the east pOrtico Of the
capitol added to their impressiveness
Simple and impressive also were those
in the senate chamber, where Calvin
Coolidge was sworn in by Vice Presi-
dent Marshall and where Mr.. Coolidge
i'm turn swore into office the new
senators elected last November
The days ceremonies began with for
NAL calls on the President-elect and
hotel by the Congressional COMMITTEES
headed by Senator Knox, of Penn
sylvana. The Presidential party ant
the congressional committee then lef
the hotel for the capitol.
Pennsylvania avenue from the Whit
House to the capitol was crowded
with home folks and visitors anxious
for a glimpse Of the new and retirinl
presidents. There were no reviewinl
stands and most of the spectators wer
t forced to stand along the sidewalks
The more fortunate had seats in win
= dows facing the avenues.
At the capitol the east plaza will

packed and the crowd overflowed ou
/, over the park spaces and avenue
which converge there. Most Of thes
thousands were able to hear the in
augural address as Mr.. Harding'
p voice was carried far out by mean

OF the 67th congress was called 10
order by Vice President Marshall. As
silence settled over the chamber, vice
President Coolidge stood beside Mr..
Marshall. Both men raised their right
hands, Mr.. Marshall slowly spoke the
"Vice Presidents oath" the new Vice
President repeated the words and then
delivered his address.
While the new senators were being
sworn in the remainder Of the party
began moving out of the chamber
toward the east portico. All OF the
party on the senate flonr and the
guests in the galleries, by prearrang-
ed directions, moved along the rotun-
da in lines which converged at the
main entrance and thus out TO the
portico steps. The guests were in their
places before Mr.. Harding appeared
on the speakers stand, small struc-
ture 30 feet square built with iron
giricrs and with a covered canopy
above housing the sound amplfyng
instruments. The whole was decorated
with flags and bunting.
As they came out OF the capitol
the company from the senate passed
through the lane of Marines 10 places
on the capitol steps and under the
east portico, back OF the presidential
party. Mr.. Harding was accompanied
by Chief Justice White OF the su-
preme court and the congressional
committee which had seats on the
platform with him.
Then before great sea Of human
ity, official and unofficial, invited and
uninvited, Mr.. Harding took his place
at the left Of the chief justice and
at the right OF the arrangements com
mittee. The assembling OF the presi-
Dental party, its departure and the
demonstrations of the crowd were the
only spectacular features OF the out
door ceremony. Simplicity and solemn
ity marked the actual ceremony it,
self.
When the President takes the inau-
gural oath, the chief justice, bible IN
hand, steps forward: the man who is
} about to take oath stands beside him
J with raised hand. Slowly and solemn
! ly the chief justice repeats the oath
prescribed by the constitution, the
President kisses the open bible and
the ceremony is over save for the de-
