INAUGURATION
JAMS TRAFFIC

With thousands Of motorists al
ready in the Capital and other
thousands on the roads, bound
here for the Inauguration. police
and automobile clubs today voiced
a plea for safe driving.
Washington, already crowded
with thousands of privately owned
cars and taxicabS, and a confusing
city to drive in, with its maze OF
circles and parks, has a serious
traffic problem that is enhanced
by the influx of visitors.
Scores Of additional traffic po-
lice will be on duty all this week,
while in Maryland and Virginia
additional State police have been
detailed to patrol all roads leading
into the Capital.
Traffic regulations will be
strictly enforced at all times, espe-
cially in regard to speed, police
warned.

HONOR COURT
BEAUTY STIRS
VISITORS

It was President Roosevelt him
self who suggested "The Hermit
age", the home Of President And
rev Jackson, as the motif for th
Court of Honor in front Of TIN
White House, where he will review
the Inaugural parade.
An ardent admirer Of "Old Hick
ory", the President had no soonet
made the suggestion than it wal
placed in the hands Of Wadd!
Wood, distinguished architect, wht
was summoned by the Inaugural
Committee to design the Court d
Honor, also the stand where thl
President will take his oath Of OF
flee.
Appreciated BY Visitors
The simple colonial architecture
of the South gave Mr.. Wood an
excellent field to work in, and the
thousands Of visitors to the Cap
ital have voiced their appreciation
and approval of this reproduction
Of The Hermitage.
But before this was completed
the architect and committee found
themselves faced with almost In
surmountable difficulties.
In the past, with Inauguration
on March 4, the committee had
several months to make its plans
and get the work done.
But this year, with Inauguration
advanced to January 20, the com,
mittee had less than 100 days to
accomplish everything. But every
thing was done, even thought il
took carpenters and painters al
most up the last day to finish the
task.
Rushed BY GraysOn
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
so closely associated with the
White House in the Wilson Ad
ministration, was summoned as
chairman of the inaugural COM
mittee four years ago and did an
outstanding job.
Since then he has had the iI1s
portant task Of heading the Amer
lean Red Cross placed on his
shoulders. But in spite Of his
multitudinouS duties, he was again
drafted to head the committee
and in the short time has worked
out plans for an inauguration that
promises to be one Of the most
brilliant in the history 'of the
Nation.

Court.
John Adams
When John Adams was indicted
into the highest office in the
United States in Philadelphia on
March 4, 1797, he almost eStab-
liShed a precedent by delivering
his inaugural address before being
sworn in. Most Presidents have
made their speeches after the
oath has been rendered. On the
evening after the ceremony, the
city celebrated riotously. One of
the events was a dinner honoring
George Washington on his retire
ment from public office.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas jefferson was the first
President to be inducted into office
at the Capitol in Washington,
D. c. The ceremony was held in
the Senate chamber. and as the
President-elect entered the building
a salute was fired by artillery.
After the rites, he went to his
lodgings" a contemporary account
states, instead of the new ''Presi.
dents Palace" later known as the
Executive Mansion and now as the
White House.
Simplicity marked the second In.
auguration Of the Sage Of Monti-
cello. The oath was administered
by Chief Justice John Marshall,
and a procession, with martial
music, was given by employees Of
the recently established Washing
ton Navy Yard.
James Madison
On the morning Of March 4,
1909, Salutes from the Navy Yard
and Fort Warburton awoke Wash
ington for the Inauguration of
James Madison. Shortly before
noon, the President-elect left his
home at 1918 H st. N. W., for the
Capitol, where he entered the
House Of Representatives. He de-
ivered his inaugural address be.
fore the Swearing-in ceremony. as
did John Adams. A ball was held
at Longs Hotel that night.
Vice President Elbridge Gerry
presided at the second inaugura-
tion Of Madison, held in the Senate
chamber. Davis Hotel was the

Contrary to many statements re-
Gently made about the history OF
presidential inaugurationS, the sec
ond induction Of Franklin D.
Roosevelt is not the first to have
occurred on a date other than
March 4.
This fact, 1t was pointed out to-
day by local historian, is but one
of the many interesting details of
past inaugurations seldom brought
to the attention Of the public.
Since the very first Inauguration
that of George Washington in
1789-occurred on April 80, and
James Monroe on March 5, it was
declared to be obvious that PreSi-
dent Roosevelt is not the first
Chief Executive to be given the
oath of office at time other than
the one customary during practi-
cally the entire history Of the
United States.
In order to present q factual
picture of past inaugurations, up
to 1900, The Washington Times
has compiled a chronological re-
view of every such ceremony since
the Constitution became effective.
George Washington
On April 16, 1889, George Wash
ington left his home at Mt. Ver-
non, Va, to journey by coach to
New York city. The trip became
q triumphal tour, ending when
Congress convened in old Federal
Hall in New York on April 80 "to
attend the installation of the
President Of the United States"
Seated in an open carriage, the
Father of His Country" was
driven through cheering crowds to
the hall, where he was sworn in
by Vice President John Adams,
who had been given the oath of
office ten days before. Washing
toms emotions overcame him dur
ing the ceremony, and he was
forced to sit down for a few mo-
mentS while the assembled Con-
gress and audience held it's breath.
The second Inauguration Of
Washington, held without pomp

records. occurred in independence

field on March 4, 1881. Unlike
many previous inaugurations,
Garfield was sworn in during rites
in the Senate chamber, from
whence he walked to the CapitopS
east portico to deliver his inau-
gural speech. The inaugural ball
was held in the newly erected "olo"
National Museum Building.
Chester A. Arthur
Upon the assassination Of PreSh
dent Garfield, Vice President Ar
thur was given the oath Of office
as the Chief Executive in New York
city on September 20. 1881. On
reaching Washington two days
later he again took the oath, being
sworn in by Chief Justice Waite in
the Capitol. AS is usual when .
Vice President succeeds to the pres
idency ceremonies were lacking.
Grover Cleveland
The election Of Cleveland signal
lied the return to political power
of the Democratic party. He was
first inaugurated on March 4.
1885, defeated during the next
election, and chosen as President
again for the term beginning in
1893. At both inaugurations wild
enthusiasm prevailed in Washing.
ton, and citizens celebrated at va
rious social functions, including
inaugural balls.
Benjamin Harrison
The administration of Harrison
came between the two Of Cleve-
land. Harrison's Inauguration on
March 4, 1889, was marred by one
of the worst transforms ever to
sweep over the Capital.
william Mckinley
The first Inauguration Of win.
liam Mckinley, on March 4. 1897,
was an occasion Of much celebrat.
ing by Republicans in washington.
since it marked the defeat Of the
Democrats. Soon after his second
Inauguration, which served to in
troduce Theodore Roosevelt TO the
national scene as Vice President,
Mckinley was aSSaSsinated and
Roosevelt became the Chief Ex-
ecutive.

The author OF the Monroe DOC
trine was made President during
impressive but simple ceremonies.
Escorted to the Capitol by 9 cav.
alcade Of citizens on horseback,
Madison was sworn in by Chief
Justice Marshall in the Senate
chamber. At the moment the oath
was given, single gun was fired
in front of the Capitol, whereupon
artillery at various Army posts
around the city began to fire Sa'
lutes.
Despite inclement weather, the
largest crowd ever to attend an
Inauguration up to that time
jammed the entrances to the Capi.
tol on March S, 1921, at Monroe's
second induction. The ceremony
took place in the House Of Repre-
sentatives while the United States
Marine Band played Hail. Co

John Quincy Adams
The retiring President, James
Monroe, called at the home Of the
incoming Chief Eecutive, John
Quincy Adams, at 1888 F st. N.
W., on the morning Of March 4,
1925, and the two proceeded to the
Capitol in open carriages, escorted
by cavalry, several companies Of
militia and a throng of private
citizens. Ex-President John Ad-
ans, father of John Quincy Ad-
ans, was present in the House Of
Representatives when his son
swore to abide by the Constitution.
Andrew Jackson
Citizens journeyed 500 mileS-a
long distance in days Of horses
and coachS-to be in Washington
on March 4, 1888, for the first
Inauguration of "Old Hickory"
For the first time, the ceremonies
were held in the open air, in front
Of the Capitol, where Chief Justice
Marshall gave the oath. General
Jackson rode alone, without an
escort, to the Capitol, but a large
procession accompanied him when
he retired to the White House.
No escort was provided either to
or from the Capitol, however, at

GRASS CUT

Visitors to the Capital find a
spring-like appearance in the
white House gardens.
Bulbs are springing up, trees
are almost ready to break out with
spring buds--and still in the dead
of winter.
This was caused by a long
period Of unusual weather, with
the temperature passing the 10
mark to make residents Of the
Capitol think spring had come.
The grass at the White House
sprang up to a height Of more
than three inches, so the gardeners
got out the lawn mowers and cut it
so it might present a good appear
