great crowd Of 10000 people" gathered at the
Capitol to hear him make his inaugural address.
Presumably they came by horseback or coaches
from nearby Maryland and Virginia.
James X. Polk was the first President to make
his inaugural journey without touching a spur
to horseflesh coming from Tennessee by steam
boat and steam railroad in 1845. At. that time
the proprietor Of the Metropolitan House
Pennsylvania avenue advertised a dinner suf-
ficient to accommodate 900 persons-the first
newspaper record of special arrangements for
feeding inaugural visitors.

FLORIDA AND TEXAS
CITRUS CROPS ONLY
ARE NOT DAMAGED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. CUP.
Freezing weather in California
has done "severe damage" to the
citrus fruit and garden vegetable
crop of that state, the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics reported
last night.
Previous predictions of a rec.
ord citrus crop are being revised
downward because killing freezes
during December and January
have cut down the estimated crop
from California groves. However,
Texas and Florida growers stand
to profit.
Information received by the bu-
reau indicates that the California
grapefruit and lemon harvest will
be 30 per cent less than the jan
1 estimates. Navel and miseella-
neous oranges will be- 90 per cent
less while valencias will be 81 per
cent less.
Arizona grapefruit also has suf-
fered from extremely low temper
atures but the bureau made no
predictions of the percentage loss.
fortunately for consumers In
other parts. Of the country, Texas
and Florida crops have been I'M
affected bv the freezing weather
that hit California and Arizona,
and as these other states have
large crops, especially Of grape
fruit, housewives can still get
most citrus fruits at satisfactory
prices,' a department OF agricul-
ture release said.
