INAUGURAL
SPLlJRGE
BANNED

There isn't going to be any
]" old-fashioned" Inauguration.
with pomp and circumstance,
in Washington on March 4
next. President-elect Hoover
wants ceremonies even simpler
than those of Presidents Will
son, Harding, and Coolidge. s
This final decision radioed from
the battleship Maryland last night
caused disappointment among local
civic and trade bodies, which had
been hoping Hoover would yield To
the persuasive arguments for gala
fete in the Capital.
The President t-elect wants neither
a parade nor an inaugural ball. He
will have an escort to the Capitol
the California Greys, San Fran
j. iaco's crack military organization
probably. No further plans have
been made.
The local Republican state conn
mittee. OF which Samuel j. Prescott
is chairman, Is. expected to meet
within the next few days TO plan
for an inaugural in accord with
H0over's wishes. There has been
little discussion OF the appointment
of an inaugural chairman. With
ceremonies along the line Mr..
Hoover wants, there is little for a
chairman TO do.
Plan Decorations
1t appears probable the local
G.. o. r. organization will cooperate
with local bodies In creating
Court of Honor" in front of the
White House, in decorating Penn
'gylvania Avenue and other streets
and in making arrangements for
the throngs expected for the event.

the District Attorney as soon as
sufficient evidence is obtained.
Major Hesse said. He does not
know whether the legal authorities

to edopt the paddock method OF

The present laws against gam
