Washington, March 5.-(By the A.
P.)-Having pledged himself anew
to the service of the nation in an
inaugural ceremony of almost unpre-
cedented simplicity, President Cool
idge took up today the four year bur-
den placed upon his shoulders by the
people, with no indication that he
might change his simple program of
"doing the days work..
Vice President Dawes, indicted in
to that office yesterday shortly be-
fore the Presidents Inauguration,
faced his second day as presiding
officer of the special session of the
new Senate, with the startling effects
of his precedent-breaking inaugur raj
address still fresh in the minds of
members.
Vice President Dawes took on the
Senate today in a first and incon-
elusive fifteen minute round sur
charged with the electricity of eager
expectancy. There was an explosion
or two over the manner in which the
new presiding officer had cut corners
at the expense of time-honored SEN
ate customs upon his inauguration
yesterday, but when recess Was
taken until later in the afternoon,
the row had not reached an acute
stage.
Throughout the quarter-hour ses-
sion Mr.. Dawes himself kept per-
fectly quiet except when, in low
voice that scarcely reached the far
corners of the chamber, he put two
perfunctory motions and announced
the result. .
During the short time he was in
the chair, however, the Vice Presi-
dent was the target of sharp criti-
cism for his manner of cutting short
Che swearing in Of new Senators yes
terday, delivered by Senator Ashurst,
Democrat, Arizona, who emphasized
his speech by shaking fore-finger
at the chair; heard Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, demand that the
official record of what was done yes
terday be examined by the Senate; {;
and listened to an explanation by
Senator Hale, Republican, Maine, who
took the whole blame for the Vice
Presidents failure to return to the
chamber yesterday, after he had wit
messed the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Some sided with him in his attack
on Senate rules which permit one
man to tie up legislation with fill
buster; some frankly and vigorous
ly didn't and few were neutral.
Kellogg lnducted
With the induction into office TO-
day of Frank B. Kellogg of Minneso-
ia as Secretary of State succeeding
Charles E. Hughes and william M
Jardine of Kansas as Secretary of
Agriculture, to take the place va
Gated by Howard M. Gore, who be-
came Governor of West Virginia, the
Presidents Cabinet still lacks one
member, an attorney general. The
nomination of Charles B. Warren OF
Michigan, to fill this post, left va
cant with the elevation of Harlan F.
Stone to the Supreme Court, was al
lowed to expire with the Sixty
Eighth Congress at noon yesterday
and its resubmission to the special
session of the new Senate, called
chiefly to act on such matters, will
be one of the principal nominations
to engage its attention.
New Secretary
Everett Sanders of Indiana, sue.
cessor to C. Bascom Slemp, as secre.
tary to the President, was sworn in
late yesterday after his term as rep
resentative from Indiana ended with
the Congress.
Many Of the thousands of visitors
who came to Washington for the in.
auguration ceremony remained today
to "look around" before returning
home, though some of the scores OF
officials headed by governors or lieu.
tenant-governors were preparing to
return home quickly. Those remain
ing for several days included all OF
the personal guests of President and
Mrs. Coolidge, including Mrs. An
drew I. Goodhue of Northampton
Mass, the mother of Mrs. Coolidge
and Colonel John C. Coolidge; the ex-
ecutive's father, who, when news
came that President Harding was
dead. administered the presidential
oath to him in the family home near
Plymouth, Vt. under strikingly diff
ferent circumstances than prevailed
yesterday.
The rain which the government
forecesters feared might mar the in
augural ceremonies yesterday. held
OF until midnight, maintaining the
Coolidge luck" tradition. Bright
Inauguration days with touch Of
spring in the air, are occasions to
remember in Washington, although
that is the way the weather has al
most always shaped up, whenever
Calvin SCoolidge was being inducted
into some Office in the long line that
led him to the presidency.
President Coolidge returned today
to the Senate The denomination Of
Charles Beecher Warren Of Michigan
to be Attorney General, which failed
Of confirmation at the session ending
yesterday.
