Long Investigation
Prohibition agents declared they

liquor, taken in code. or on the tele-
phone occasionally from customers
known to be "all right" by the ring,

Jnc CONSTITUTION anu Gue NdIlOl
Immediately after the oath the
President began his inaugural ad-
dress. His unstressed words leaped
out through a microphone before
him to span the nation through
twenty-five radio stations. For the
first time in history an Inaugural
tion ceremony was broadcast to
millions of absent spectators.
From $4,000 to 10000 people
janhmed the capitol square where
Presidents of history have launched
their administrations. Thousands of
others lined the mile-long expanse of
Pennsylvania Ave. from the White
House to The Capitol.

trum sat the justices Of the United

troll Of the national legislature, diplo-
mats Of foreign governments, gov
ernment officials in silk hats, digni.
taries of States and women Of
fashion-the customary inaugural
audience.
The ceremonies on the Capitol
steps followed the traditional ritual
in tho Senate chamber, where
Charles G.. Dawes took the oath Of
office as Vice President and delivered
his inaugural address.
The Senate galleries were packed
long before the time for the inaug-
ural cerencnies to start.
After taxing a ten-minute recess
at lilo a. m., the Senate convened
again.
Governor Nellie Taylor Ross OF
Wyoming. came on tie floor ac-
companied by Senator Warren,
while the entire Senate applauded.
Vice President Dawes was led
into the chamber amidst applause
and cheering. He stood beside
President Pro Tenn. Cunmins and
when the applause stopped he sat
down.
Every one was standing, wait
ing for the President to enter, and
when Dawes saw his mistake he
arose amid laughter and further
applause.
Dawes was called forward and
with his right hand raised accept
ed the oath Of office at exactly
1915 p. m.
Promptly at noon, when President
Pro TEN. Cummins' gavel fell for
the last time and sent the 6Sth Con-
gress into history. Dawes mounted
the rostrum for his pledge of office.
Directly before the rostrum sat
the President. +
When the Senate ceremonies were
concluded the entire assemblage
came out to the east portico steps.
The sun was shining brightly again
and the breeze had abated somewhat.
1t was an ideal March day. The
President appeared just few min
utes before p. m. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Coolidge, her mother
and his father.
"HaiI to the Chief
The Marine band in bright coats,

The band was hushed and Chief
Justice Taft called the President
forward.
Mr.. Coolidge raised his right hand
while Taft in clear voice, carried
out through the amplifiers to the
thousands, repeated the words Of
the OATH.
AS soon as Mr.. Coolidge had given
his assent to It, and with a nod of
his head. he stepped up to the plat
form and began the reading of his
inaugural address.
Two soldiers stood below the
President at attention, holding
American flags.
Every syllable of his words could
be heari throughout the audience.
