Mr.. Rainey of Illinois.

Henry T. Rainey of Illinois will be-
come Speaker of the House In the new
Congress by virtue Of his nomination
by the Democrats In party caucus yester-
day. Mr.. Rainey has q long record of
service In the House. He has for the
last two years been Democratic floor
leader BY tradition, service and ability
he was entitled to the place. Mr..
Rainey came to Washington as q new
member of the House thirty years ago.
He failed of reelection for one term
during all that period and his actual
service has been twenty-eight years.
For the first time since 1891 the
Democrats were threatened with real
contest in the selection Of candidate
for the speakership nomination, when
that nomination was tantamount to
election because OF Democratic major
ity in the House. Mr.. Rainey, who
became a candidate for the speakership
as soon as the present Speaker, John
N. Garner, became the party nominee
for Vice President, found himself
opposed by Representative McDuffie Of
Alabama, the Democratic whip" and
by Representative Joseph T. Byrns Of
Tennessee, chairman Of the Appropria-
tions Committee, both strong con-
tenders. A deadlock, perhaps similar
to that in the opening of the Fifty
second Congress, when Charles 7. Crisp
Of Georgia was elected on the thirtieth
ballot, was in prospect.
This was avoided, however, when
Mr.. Byrns was persuaded to retire from
the speakership race and to support
Mr.. Rainey, with the understanding
that Mr.. Rainey, in turn, would sup
port Mr.. Byrns for foor leader. And

Inauguration Crowds and Weather

Inauguration Crowds and Weather
With the advance guard Of the expect
ID multitude Of quarter of million
inauguration visitors already in the
Capital, this city Is beginning to pre-
sent its extraordinary quadrennial ap-
pearance on the occasion Of the induc-
ton Of the new President into Office,
Many thousands are already here,
representative Of every section and
State. Some have come by motor cars
and by regular trains and others by
special trains, though the greater part
Of the latter group will come in the
last hours, some Of them tomorrow
morning.
For weeks past the committees In
charge Of inaugural arrangements have
been preparing for the accommodation
Of this host of guests, finding housing
for them, insuring their comfort during
the hours Of their stay in Washington
providing facilities for their fullest en-
joyment Of the spectacle that will be
presented here tomorrow. An efficient
information service has been main
tanned so that newcomers to the city
will know where to 60 and how to gel
there and will be guided as to the best
ways for seeing the Capital.
While some of the inauguration visi-
tors will come merely for the few hours
of the ceremony itself, most Of them
will be here for q long enough period
to envision the seat of Government as
! whole and in detail. They will find
he city somewhat. in disarray owing

somewhat interrupted by economic ne

Is inspiring in that it points to the
eventual and perhaps early consum-
nation of plans that will make Wash
ington the most impressive of the Capt.
tails Of the world.
Naturally the thoughts Of all who are
here and all who are ON their. way turn

morrow. VIII the day be fair and

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Those Absent.
It's Just around the corner Of the
dawn
The ceremonial day revered by all,
Which bids us turn from sorrows that
are gone
And heed the futures new COURAGEOUS
There will be be silent moments now
and then
Amid the splendor and the bright
refrain,
When reverent thought will rest upon
the men
Who should be mingling with the
gladsome train.
And as the beauteous pageantries extend
In all their great significance serene,
Memories Of those no longer here win
New hope and meaning to the glorious
scene.

photographs of exteriors and interiors
on large scale in addition to exact
measured drawings of the exteriors,
special rooms, details, first floor plans
and garden plans
These" he said "are being carefully
drawn up by selected craftsmen under
the direction of the Architects emerg-
ency Committee, providing occupation
and remuneration to many of those out
OF work at this time of distress"
