SENATE CHAMBER IS ___ CROWDED FOR CEREMONY. Soon7Atter the president entered the room Mr, Harding went to the sen- ate chidimber. ‘ Senate galleries except the section reserved for the gtiests of the presi- dential party were crowded soon after the se: met. Upon her arrival at the Gapitol, Mrs. Marshall took a seat’ in tho president’s section of the gallery\ is The Yiplomatic ‘gallery was filled with tb6 wives, daughters and moth- ra of the foreign envoys. Women seemed in the majority among the spectators. Colorful hats, gowns’ tind furs” added to the bril- Yancy of the scene. Before recess- ing at }1:30 for 15 minutes, the sen- ate occupied its time with speectes o¢ tribute to retiring Senators Cham- berlain' of Oregon and Thomas of Colorado, who replied. The senators abandoned their rules and applauded vigorougly. WILSON PERFORMS LAST OFFICIAL ACT. The president signed the sundry civil and\hospital appropriation ‘bills, the resolution voting $7,500 to Mrs. Chaihp *Claxk, and some minor bills, tioris, by General March, It was said he would pocket the im- migration restriction bill. After leaving the president’s room the president-elect went to a cloak room off the senate chamber where he recelved a number of senators, Re- publicans and Democrats. Meantime, the house had adjourn- ed sine die at 11:50 a. m. Mrs. Hard- ing had an end-row seat in the front row of the senators’ private gallery, directly opposite the front row re- served for President Wilson’s family. Next to Mrs. ‘was Colonel Coolidge, father of the vice president- elect and Mrs. Coolidge. The babei of the recess was halt- ed at 11.45 by the vice president's gavel, and Mr. Marshall requested or- der from the galleries. The senate then adopted the house resolution for @ committee to wait on President Wilson, to ascertain if he had any further requests. Senators Lodge and Underwood, Republican and Demo- cratic leaders, were named to act for the senate. WILSON DOES NOT STAY FOR CEREMONY. Immediately after signing some bills in the president's room, Mr, Wilson ro- turned to his motor car and drove to his own home cn 8 street. ‘The president-elect visited the presi- Gent in the president's room and bade him and Mrs.Wilson goodbye. Mr. ‘Wilson’ was ‘invited to the senate chamber for the inauguration of Mr. Coolidge, but’ excused: himself, saying that Mr, Coolidge ‘had ‘been very sen- erous and understood that he would return to the White House. The hous6" of representatives was announced to the chamber at 11:55. The senate clock was turned back fifteen minutes at five minutes before noon, Senator Lodge soon announced that President Wilson had no further com- munications to make to congress. Prominent among the representatives was the new woman member, Miss Robertson of Oklahoma. She carried a-large bowquet df violets and roses. Senators and other groups of official guests arrived. President Wilson's cabinet filed’ In and took seats at the right of the chamber. - , ‘There were not sufficient chairs for members of the house and others and many stood about the walls. President Harding's cabinet officers entered and took seats to the. extreme ‘The diplomatic“corps in resplendent dress uniforms ‘arrived at 12:10. When ‘the diplomats were arriving’ the senate clock was turned back ten IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES _ brief address while the audience lis- tened' intently. CROWD. APPLAUDS VICE PRESIDENT. The audience rose and applauded the address, The vice president then had President Wilsons call of the extra session read. Vice President Coolidge then ordered | the call of names of senators, re- elected and new, to take the oath. In groups of ;four, escorted by their colleagues, they were brought to ‘the rostrum and took the oath. CROWD IMPATIENT AT DELAY, REPORT. It was 1 o'clock when the first of the inaugural guests of honor began to file out on the east portico and the crowd, which had grown a little impatient sent up a cheer at the Prospect of action. Mr, Harding retired to an; ante- room while the guests were escorted to the’ speaking stand, the: supreme court, justices leading the procession thru the capitol. ‘ Members of the house ~ grouped themselves on the right of the plat- form and members of the senate on the left. They were followed | by members of the old and new cabinet, the foreign diplomats’and finally by the justices of the supreme court. Mr. Harding appeared on the platform at 1:14 and as he walked out ‘to! the front railing with Mrs. Harding. by his side, the crowd let loose with a Great, cheer. After leaving the senate chamber and while waiting for the guests to assemble on the east portico, Mr. Harding ‘went to the - president's room. He then started for thé’ east portico, preceded by the justices of tae supreme, court and followed by the diplomatic corps. The president-elect’ met the ' retir- ing vice president and greeted him wit! Pia ‘ome along if it isn’t torture.” “It isn't torture,” responded Mr. Marshall, “but heretofore I have been going ahead instead of following after.” a Mrs. Harding wrapped in a great fur cloak took her place just. to the right of the speakers’ stand. HARDING TAKES OATH ON WASHINGTON’S BIBLE. ‘The president-elect took the oath on George Washington's Bible at 1:18 p. m., a few moments after he reached the stand and after the marine band had played the Star Spangled Ban- ner began his inaugura) address. The voice amplifier apparently was work- ing successfull, for the big crowd list- ened - attentively {ar out to its fringes. Mr. Harding read from a finely printed manuscript cut in small sheets and held in the hollow of his left hand. He kept on his dark blue overcoat during the address. President Harding took. the oath at the exact minute of the day . that Woodrow Wilson was sworn in for his first term eight years ago. The first applause followed the new president's declaration#that minutes more. PERSHING APPLAUDED ON: ENTERING CHAMBER rg Pe tshing= Was* tobiiy™ Xp-| Plauded as he entered with his side. The general was followed by Ad- miral Koontz, chief of naval opera- oulef of staff of the army, and Maj. Gen. Le- jeune, commandant of the marine corps, who also received applause. The supreme court justices, headed by Chief Justice White and officers of the court then arrived. They also were applauded. t ‘ ’ The- joint. congressional inaugura- | tion“ committee, headed by Senator Knox, arrived with the vice president- lect. at! 12:15 and was warmly ap- plated by tiie entire assembly. “There wes tumultuous applause as Mr. Harding, on Senator Knox's arm, walked to his, seat in’ front of the vice president's! rostriim, and ‘faced the audience. At @ signal from Mr. Marshall, Mr. Coplidge took’ the oath with upraised gem, and a distinct ‘I do” at’ the close. ‘This was at 12:21 p.m. When the applause had died away, Mr. Marshall began delivery of his valedictory, to which Mr, Harding listened intently. Mr. Marshall finished his address at 12:30 and Mr. Coolidge began speak- ing at 12:31 p.m. His address was very brief and at its end the guests ‘began to move from the senate cham- ber to the east portico.of the capitol for the inauguration: of Mr. Harding. |JAM-AROUND PORTICO ‘EXTENDS FOR BLOCK. ‘The?jam in front of the east portico extended for more than a block to he east and for etmost the same dis- \ce to the north and south of the stand. erected on the capitol steps. Besides the marine guards, the red- coated marine band, the President's Own, made about the only other splotch of color in the fur-clad and overcoated assembly. the. wait the band enter- tairied the-crowd with patriotic airs. SOLDIERS’ ‘To the left of the inaugural stand in the front row a group of wounded soldiers from Walter Reed hospital waited in wheel chuirs and on crutch- es to’ see the ceremony. A Red Cross hurse’ got a cheer by passing out cigarettes .and hot chocolate to th disabled veterans. - Another touch of pathos was added by the half-masted flags flying over the senate and house office buildings in honor of Champ Clark, the v eran democratic leader and personal friend of Mr. Harding, who died Wed- nesday. Many men and boys had climbed mong the barren branches of the plaza trees to get a glimpse of the big event. PUBLIC MEN ARE MADE “BELL BOYS” Applause broke into Mr. Marshall's address frequently and there was laughter when he deplored public men becoming ‘mere bell boys.” Mr. Mar- shall's voice indicated his emotion as he said his farewell, The audience rose and applauded at length as he concluded. He then declared the sen- ate adjourned sine die. Calling the new senate to order, Vice President Coolidge ordered pray- er by the, senate chaplain, the Rev. J.J. Muir, Wio, during his invocation, referred feelingly to President Wilson. The new vice president read his public must pursue a policy of non- involvement in old world affairs. As he spoke the sentences which follow- ed>in his prepared manuscript con- cerning other, aspects. of American foreign relations, Mr. Harding punc- tuated his delivery with vigorous gestures which repeatedly got the crowd cheering. ‘SUPER-GOVERNMENT’ | ‘ is CONDEMNED. Mr. Harding spoke in a clear, full tone proceeding more deliberately than ho usually docs in public ad- dresses. He put a solemn emphasis on his condemnation of “‘super-govern- ment” and the crowd responded with another crash of applause. The cerémonies surrounding the in- auguration of the new president were if anything even more simple than those attending the first inauguration of George Washington. The usual morning salute of naval guns was ing and there was absolutely nothing in the way of a military or civil procession. The only troops on hand were four squadrons of cavalry assigned by the congressional” inaugfral committee as an escort for the new president, 500 marines for ;guard duty at the capitol, and as many regular army in- tantrymen-from Fort Myer for guard duty along the streets. It was Mr. Harding's wish that all display be eliminated. He said he de- sired no parade and also asked that the usual inaugural ball be omitted. There were more cheers when the president delivered his condemnation of war profiteering. He then had been speaking for about 15 minutes and was half way through his manu- script. PERSONAL WORDS ARE ADDRESSED TO VETERANS. In the midst of his address Mr. ix departed from his prepared manuscript to make reference to the group of wounded soldiers just below the inaugural stand. He assured them “that this republic will never ve un- Srateful for the services you_ have rendered” and added that he *hoped for @ policy which would adequately provide in the future for those wound- ed in war-time. While he was speaking a woman fainted just in front of the stand and Mrs. Harding motioned to a_ secret service man to go to her aid.) The First Lady of the Land turned her attention away from the inaugural speech and followed with her eyes the first aid rendered to the stricken woman. A marine had led the wom- an away before Mrs. Harding again turned back to follow the address. ROAR OF APPLAUSE GREETS END OF SPEECH. President Harding concluded his address at 1:55 p. m., after talking exactly 37 minutes. " There was another roar of ap- Plause as he concluded and turned to receive the Congratulations of those on the inaugural stand. Vice Presi- dent Coolidge was the first to shake hands with him. As the president and Mrs. Harding started from the stand the marine band played a stan- za of America, the crowd began to disperse and the inauguration was over, After addressing briefly an execu- tive session of the senate, presenting the nominations of his ten cabinet of- ficers, the new chief left the capital at 2:25 o'clock for the White House. The president was given an ova- tion by the crowds along Pennsylva- nia avenue ‘and was kept busy bowing and tipping his hat. Mrs. Harding rode at his side and flanking the RHEUMATISM FAILS TQ.

From Destruction to Production. “The forward course of the business cycle is unmistakeablé: Peoples are turning from destruction to produc- tion. Industry has sensed the changed order. and our own people are turn ing to resume their normal onward way. The call is for productive America to go on. I know that con- gress and the administration will fa- vor every wise government policy to aid the resumption and encourage continued progress. “I speak for administrative efficien- cy, for lightened tax burdens, for sound commercial practices, for ade- quate credit facilities, for sympathetic concern for all agricultural problems, for the pmission of unnecessary Inter- ference of government with business, for an end to government's experi- ment in busness and for more efficient business in government administra- tion. With all of this must attend a mindfulness of the human side of all activities so that social, industrial and economic justice will be squared with the purposes of a righeous people. “With the nation-wide induction of womanhood into our political life, we may count upon her intuitions, her refinement, her inelligence and her in- fluence to exalt the social order. We count upon her exercise to the full privileges and the performances of the duties of citizenship to speed the attainment of the highest state. Prayer for Industrial Peace. “I wish for an America no less alert in guarding against dangers from within than it is watchful against ene- mies from without. Our fundamental law recognizes no class, no group, no section. There must be none in legis- lation or administration, The supreni®| inspiration is the\common weal. Hu- |manity hungers for international peace and we crave it with all man- kind. My most reverent prayer for America is for industrial peace, with its rewards, widely and generally dis- tributed amid the inspirations of equal opportunity. “No one justly may deny the equal- ity of opportunity which made us what we are. We have mistaken un- preparedness to embrace it, to be a challenge of the reality; and due con- cern for making all citizens fit for participation will give added strength of citizenship and magnify our achievements. “If revolution imsists upon over- turning established order, Jet other peoples make the tragic experiment. ‘There is no place for it in America. When world, war threatened clviliza- tion we pledged our resources and our lives to its preservation, and when revolution threatens we unfurl the flag of law and order and renew our consecration.

WASHINGTON, March 4.—Bright weather with a cold, blustering March wind, marked the opening of inaugu- ration day. There were some clouds banked™in the east in the early morn- ing, but these soon gave way before the driving northwest wind and made it seemingly certain that the new president, Warren G. Harding, would be able to take oath of office in the open on the east portico of the cap- itol as planned. : There was a decided overnight drop in temperature with indications that it would be ,somewhat uncomfortable for the crowds on the capitol plaza and | along Pennsylvania avenue. The president-elect and Mrs. Hard- ing were up at 8 o'clock and had breakfast in their suite at the New Willard hotel. After breakfast Mr. Harding shaved himself and dressed ‘letsurely. The new vice president and Mrs. Coolidge also arose early and had breakfast in their hotel suite with Mr. Coolidge's father, Col. John Calvin Coolidge, thelr two sons, John and Calvin, Jr., and several personal, friends, Asked how he felt the morning of his inauguration day, the vice presi- formations and evolutions reflect a deliberate judgmgent and an orderly progress, and we mean to cure all our is, but never destroy or permit de- struction by force. “T had rather submit our industrial controversies to the conference table in advance than to a’ settlement table after conflict and suffering. The earth is thirsting for a cup of good will. Understanding is its fountain source. I would like to acclaim an era of good feeling amid dependable prosperity and ail the blessings which attend. Protection of Industries. “It has been proved. again and again that we cannot, while throwing our markets open to the world, maintain American standards of living and op- portunity and hold our industrial eminence in such unequal competi- tion. There is a luring fallacy in the theory of banished barriers of trade, but preserved American standards require our higher production costs to be reflected in our tariffs on im- ports. Today as never before, when peoples are seeking trade, restoration and expansion, we ‘must adjust our tariffs to the new order. We seek participation in the world’s exchanges, because therein Iles our way to wid- ened influence and the triumph of peace. We know full well we cannot sell where we do not buy and we can- no sell successfully where we do not carry. “Opportunity is calling, not alone for the restoration, but for a new era in production, transportation and trade. We shall answer it best by meeting the demand of a surpassing home market, by promoting self-re- liance in production and by bidding enterprise, genius and efficiency tb dent-elect said he did not feel half as important today as.he did on the oc- ecasion of his graduation from high school. PRESIDENT FAGGED BY NIGHT WORK. President Wilson arose at 8 o'clock, and after breakfast with M:s. Wilson he went to his study. White House officials said the president was a little fagged as the result of working late last night on bills and other official| business. Early callers at the Harding suite included friends from Marion, Ohio, | and members of the Republican Na-| tional committee. The president-e) wore the conventional bli Huw coat, while Mrs. Harding wus nttired in a one-piece dress of nuyy blue Can- ton crepe embroidered with steel beads. ‘The dress was of a straight| line coat effect. Thermometers along Pennsylvania avenue showed 30 degrees and the| wind had a sharp bite to it around 9 o'clock but before 10 the mercury had climbed 10 degrees up the scalo and was still going up. Hours before the moment set for the inauguration the capitol plaza was well filled. Forming a complete rim about the capitol front was a marine guard. ‘The holders of cards for the galleries inside the capital were ordered in line at the various gates. a Spears of the Spears and Chapman offices here has returned after a short trip to Dougla: MANUFACTURES, HERE GREATEST (Continued from Page 1) tured products aggregated $81,272,000. The figures are preliminary and subject to such change and correc- tion as may be found necessary from a further examination of the reports. The census excluded the hand’ trades, the building trades, and the neighborhood industries, and took aé/ count only of establishments conduet® ed under the factory system. Statis- tics were not included for establisl- ments having products for the census year valued at less than $500, except’ that reports were taken for estab- lishments idle during a portion of the census year, or which began opera tion during that year, and whossi products for such reason were valued at less than $500. The word “establishment” as used in the census reports may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are owned or controlled and operated by a single individual, partnership; corporation, or other owner or opera- tor, and are located in the same town or city. : The reports were taken for the cal+ endar year ending December 31, 1919; or the business year of the establish- ment most nearly conforming to that calendar year, Summary of the Statistics: The statistics represent the estab: lishments located within the corpar- ate limits of the city. The capital invested in Casper was $44,912,000. In this connection it should be stated that the inquiry con- tained in the census schedule calls fory the total amount of capital, both owned “nd borrowed, invested in the, business, but excludes the value of, rented property, plant, or equipment which was employed in the conduct. of manufacturing enterprises. The. final bulletins and reports will show the rentel paid for such property, ‘The cost of materials used was $242 186,000. In addition to the compony ent materials which enter into the value of products, the cost of mate- rials in this summary includes the cost of fuel, mill supplies, and rent of power and heat. ° The value of products which amounted to $43,590,000 represents .their selling value or price at the ;Plants as actually turned out by the factories during the census year ahd may haye little relation to the amount” ;of the sales for that year.
