Sun Lights Scene.
AS they passed up the Avenue &C
companied by din of cheering the sun
broke through the clouds for the first
time, lighting to a new brilliance the
bright colorS Of the Avenues flags and
bunting.
A hollow square of Cavalry, its rest
less mounts making sharp clatter
above the shouting. grouped itself about
the officials cars as they went on their
way to the Capitol. The trip was made,
for the most part. at trot.
President and President-elect waved
repeatedly as the crowds cheered them
to the echo. Frequently they lifted
their hats.
1t was minutes after II O'Clock
when the head of the line of cars drew
up at the Senate wing Of the Capitol.
The arriving dignitaries we're in plain
view of thousands of those who had
gathered for the ceremonies on the
plaza, and a great shout went up as
the Cavalry-escorted cars climbed Capt.
tol Hill
Mr.. Roosevelt on the arm Of his son
James, walked from the curb along the
west side of the Senate wing slowly
up a specially constructed ramp, and
| into the central door at that end of
the huge building. He had long wait
nearly two hours before he would be
called to take the oath of Office on
the plaza.
He was escorted to an inner room,
while President Hoover went by an
ether route directly to the presidential
office just off the Senate chamber Mr..
Hoover began at once considering the
ing hours of the dying Congress.
Mrs. Hoover. Mrs. Roosevelt and the
others of the party took their places
in the Senate galleries. Mrs Hoover
was wearing an outfit Of beige wool
and small brown straw hat and mink
scarf
Still the crowd grew on the plaza
mottle gray sky, broken now and then
by the sun, covered the broad expanse
before the white-columned platform
erected for Mr.. Roosevelt. The seats
for 10000 seemed lost in the huge crowd
that stretched back blocks toward and
beyond the golden domed Congressional
Library.
Heavy coats. closely-wrapped mufflers
and furs were the predominant dress
Many wrapped their knees with heavy
steamer rugs
Hundreds Of visitors brought lunches
with them. Others brought chairs, but
their hopes for comfort were destroyed
as the pressing crowds pushed chairs
aside
The throng there was estimated by
guards at nearer 10000 than 100000
Holds Endless Conferences.
Beginning before he had left his bed
and continuing long into the night,
yesterday was an almost unbroken
series of conferences, calls and recep-
| tons for Mr.. Roosevelt.
He had breakfast in bed and went
through his correspondence before aris-
ing. After conferences with several
OF his advisers he announced the selec-
ton OF Homer S. Cummings of Con-
necticut. to fill temporarily the post
of Attorney General, made vacant by
the untimely death of Senator Walsh.

Philippines as Governor General
Shortly after noon. accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt and his son James, he
he and Mrs. Roosevelt called upon MI.
and Mrs. Hoover at the White House
and then FASTENED back to the May
flower Hotel to receive a return can
from them.
The swift-moving events of the clos
ing days of Congress and Of national
financial affairs were watched closely,
but Mr.. Roosevelt let it be known he
was taking no action before receiving
the oath of Office. His friends, how
ever. said he was ready to act when the
time came.
Extra Session by March Is.
John Nance Garner was the first
caller received by Mr.. Roosevelt. They
are understood to have discussed an
extra session Of the new Congress and
an early call is expected. probably by
March IS. Senator Buckley of Ohio, an
authority on banking legislation, was
another early caller. This led to the
belief that ground work was being laid
| for early banking legislation.
In the Democratic headquarters at
the hotel the names of several other
party members were mentioned for
important posts.
1t was said that Jesse l. Straus. New
York merchant, later would be named
