WEATHER IDEAL AT DAWN TODAY WASHINGTON, March 4.—(By the Associated Press).—March drew from her finest wares to provide a perfect dawn for inauguration day and President Coolidge was one o¢ the among all the inauguration to be out of doors in the orning sunlight. k, while most of circle was just be- rleep. the presi- Soap ces a change?... The quality of Schilling Coffee has dent stepped out on the north por- tico of the mansion, tested the mel- lowing spring alr, and then took a round afoot out the northwest gate, past the stand where he later was to review his inaugural parade and then back through the southwest gate to the executive offices, The bright morning Ught was playing gladly on the red, white and blue that decked out the staid govern- ment buildings flanking the White House on eith# side, the breeze was fast losing its bite of yesterday. To the secret service men who were his sole companions during the walk the president remarked that on every one of the other eight days when he took an oath of office the weather had been at its best. He added that he hoped it would not break a precedent today, Soon after he re-entered the White House, Mrs. Coolidge and their guests were ready for breakfast and the party sat down In the state din- ing room to the usual buckwheat cakes, Vermont maple syrup and fausage. Frank Stearns, the presi- dent's friend, was missing from the breakfast table, having gone to the union station to meet John Coolidge, an Amherst student, who came into Washington among the last of the inaugural crowds that had gathered to see his father be- come chief eecutive for another four years. Soon after eight o'clock the lirst of the throngs that were to witners the taking of the oath on the capitol plaza had begun to make a thin fringe of humanity around the rear of the mammoth stands reserved for the elect. They had four hours and more to wait, standing, before the president was to appear. LEGISLATIVE WORK IS DISPOSED OF President Ccolidge went to his desk at the executive offices five minutes before 9 o'clock and began looking over the day's correspon- dence. Before he left it last night he had cleared up the vast accumu. lation of legisiative business dump. ed upon him by congress in its clos ing hours, and he had before him only ‘the day's work" in conformity with a precept of promptitude he long ago adopted as his guide in pub- He service, Several visitors already were in the waiting room when the execu- lve reached his office and small groups of inauguration sightseers also were beginning to saunter through the White House grounds and peer in from a respectful dis- tance at the windows of the east room. Vice President-Elect Dawes in his apartment at the New Willard ho- tel rose at 9 o'clock. As usual he shaved himself and dressed leisure: ly preparatory to having breakfast with his family in the apartment. The first of the family circle to be up was young Dana Dawes, the adopted son, who amused himself while he waited for breakfast by reading the comic pictures in the morning papers. George A. Paddock, head of the Minute Men of the Con stitution, was the first caller re- Ceived by the vice president-elect. Meantime President Coolidge had spent the first half hour at his desk at work on correspondence only. He apparently had not yet decided whether to sign the legisla- tive appropriation bill, which con- tains salary increases for the vice President, members of congress and cabinet officials DAWES ADMI CORRESPOND) While he was eating breakfast, General Dawes invited a group of waiting newspaper correspondents into his apartment. Many of them were old friends and as he ate he cracked jokes at the expense of mort of them. Meantime the troop of the Third Cavalry which was to little later up its position at took .

A white bull dog mascot trailed up behind the troopers and during the wait kept scurrying curlously around the heels of the horses, His urgent morning correspon: dence cleared away, President Cool- idge sent for Director Lord, of the budget bureau, presumably to talk over again the legislative bill. By this time, the hour for Gen- eral Dawes departure for the White House was drawing near and the po- lice cleared the Fourteenth street side of the Willard of traffic. The cavalry escort moved down to a post apposite the Fourteenth street door, with thelr mascot galloping along. The sidewalks of Pennsyl- vania avenue had been roped off with slender steel cables aldhg the stretch from the capitol to the White House but traffic was not to be bar- red from the broad thoroughfare not changed -- the traditional blend stands -- untouched.

Just at 10 o'clock the congres- sional {naugural committee headed by Senator Curtis of Kansas arriv- @d at the Willard to escort the in- coming vice president and Mrs. Dawes to the White House. General Dawes directed his aldes not to bring the congressional com: mittee up to his apartment and sent word down he would meet them in the hotel lobby. He then donned a cutaway coat and @ tall silk hat, and Ughted his famous upside down pipe. Mrs. Bawes, attired in a blue silk eult with a fur choker and a black hat, accompanied him as he took the elevator to th Meantime President Coolidge had a chat in his office with Thomas W- White, budget officer af Massachu- setts and an old friend, and had left for the White House proper without having signed the legisla tive bill. There remained a chance he would Go that at the capitol be- fore congress adjourned at noon. PARTY ASSEMBLES AT WHITE HOUSE ‘The president found that most of his cabinet, who were to accompany him to the capitol, already had reached the White House. ‘They drove up in separate motor cars and were escorted Into the east room to await the coming of Mr. Coolidge and Genera! Dawes, It was 10:23 o'clock, elght minutes behind sched- ule when the vice-president-elect and Mrs, Dawes, accompanied by the congressional committee, took thetr places 11, the motor cars sur- rounded by the cavalry escort and started from the hotel for the White House. The party circled the treasury, where Mr. Dawes had given several years of his life to public service as comptroller of the currency and first budget director and entered the northwest gate of the White House grounds three minutes after his de. parture from the hotel. The cavalry troop lined up along Pennsylvania Avenue, facing the executive man sion and with La Fayette square at its back. ‘ When his motor car came to a halt beneath the massive north por- tieo General Dawes assisted bis wife in alighting and then followed her in through the north door, The congressional committee entered be- hind them. Just as the official party had thus been assembled in the east room the first cloud of the day passed in front of the sun, casing the white How: into sombre relief. The weather bureau, however, had with- drawn from {ts prediction of rain for late afternoon, and had Issued a “fair tonight” forecast. PRESIDENT AND DAWES CHEERED A large crowd also had mbled outside the White House gates. They had cheered General Dawes on his arrival and remained to give an- other cheer to the president when he should emerge a half hour later for the trip to capitol hill. During the wait at the White House President Coolidge's son, John, and his father, Col, Coolidge. together with the half dozen others who are White House guests, en tered two closed automobiles, They were whisked away to the capitol where they had seats in the senate chamber to see the inauguration of Vice President Dawes before taking their places on the presidential in- augural stand outside. Preparations for departure of the official party from the White House were completed five minutes before the hou rset, 11 o'clock. The train of a dozen automobiles, bearing cab- inet officials, the committee of con- gress, the president's secretaries and a delegation of ten grand army men were drawn up In the White House driveway, waiting for the president and Mrs. Coolidge and the vice-pres- ident-elect and Mrs. Dawes to emerge and take seats in the cars at the front of the line. Traffic had been cleared from Pennsylvania Avenue along which they were to pass to the capitol and a cordon of extra police lined the march on each side in front of the growing crowds. The president and General Dawes came out of the White House at 10:58 o'clock. They stopped for a minute under the portico to ac commodate a delegation of photoe graphers and then climbed into their cars. The! president wore a black over- coat over his cutaway, and a silk hat. General Dawes had stowed his pipe away in a pocket. Just two minutes after 11 o'clock the cars moved out and took up a single fle through the northeast gate. The waiting crowd at the sent up a tremendous cheer President Coolidge looked ahead. SURGE OF CHEERS FOLLOWS PRESIDENT The official party was carried swiftly toward the capitol. au along {ts way {t was accompanied by a surge of cheering. The side- walks were packed nd so were the windows of {ts sombre old butidings. As they rode along, the president repeatedly acknowledged the plaudits of the crowd by touching his hat and General Dawes lifted his clear of his head many times as special out- bursts of applause seemed to be di- rected In his direction. The party rolled up Capitol Hill and the presidentiai car came to @ stop at the ‘enate entrance on the plaza 11:16 o'clock. Then the party climbed up the long {Nght of steps leading from the Plaza to the entrance on a level with the senate floor. Mr Coolidge went to the president's room, just off the senate chamber and General Dawes Wes escorted to the vice president's room nearby. The cabinet mem: bers accompanied the president to advise him in the signing of last minute legislation. President Cummins of the senate greeted the vice president-elect when he reached the room thst is to be his office for the next four years, and which for more than two years had been the workshop of Mr. Cool idge. In the president's room the chief executive turned his attention to a sheaf of bills awaiting his at: tention, On the plaza outside the crowd, now mounting to several thousands, streamed up closer about inaugural stands from which they had been kept back until after the arrival of the official White House party, While the president was hard at work his secona in command was taking it easy in a big leather chair before a cheerful grate fire in the vice president's room. “He chatted with Senator Cummins — intently, however, about his new duties he was about to assume, and inter. rupted the interview long enough to receive a gift of another gavel. It Was made from timbers of the ex- Ploring ship “Roosevelt,” used by Peary on his polar expedition. DAWES TRIES CIGAR, RETURNS TO PIPE Still the dipper pipe remained tucked away in {ts pocket, and pres ently as he rose to shake his legs in front of the fire place, the vice president elect took out a cigar ine .stead and lighted up. Evidently the result did not ful. gate but stralght fill expectations. After a few ner: vous puffs, the general looked it over suspiciously, tossed it tn the grate,.and hauled out the pipe. As soon as he got it going full draught he seemed perfectly contented. Among the first bills to be signed by Mr, Coolidge after he reached the capitol were the naval omnibus bill, Providing for modernization work and for some new cruisers and gun: boats, and the second deficiency bill, which had passed the: senate less than an hour before, Then, just five minutes before the zero hour of noon Mr. Coolidre took up his pen with great deliberation and signed his name to the measure. Inside the senate chamber the stage was being set for the inaugu- ration of Mr, Dawes. Just befor noon, while the distingutshed guests were arriving the sun burst through its cloud barrier and pierced the col- ored glass root of the chamber with shafts-of warm light. Mrs. Nee Tayloe Ross, governor of Wyoming, entered the president's chamber itself on the arm of Senator Warren. She was greeted by hand- clapping, as she was escorted to a@ seat. The hour of noon was only three minutes away when the speaker and the members of the house ar- rived. They were seated to the left of the dias, and other proceed. ings halted while the 435 represen- tatives found places. The clock was set back seven minutes. BRILLIANT SCENE ‘ IS PRESENTED After the house members had squeezed themselves into @ very re- stricted space the foreign diplomats were announced and took placer to th right of the dals. They were lendent in their full dress unt- forms. As the president's cabinet started to file in behind diplomats the clock ¥is set back another six min- utes, Lecause officially Mr Dawes had to take the oath before 12 noon by the senate clocks, High army, navy and marine corps were next announced to the eenate,, as the clock hands again moved to the noon hour for a third time. Chief pustice Taft and Justices of the supreme court in thelr solemn black robes, were agcorted to places on the left of the dals as those in the galleries arose. Then came Vice President-Elect Dawes and the first round of ap- Dlause broke out. It swelled to an ovation and there was more hand clapping and cheering a moment later when the president entered, es- corted by the ranking senate lead- ers When the vice-president elect went up to the dais he at first sat down on the right of President Cummins, but upon looking around arose amid laughter and applause. The president meantime had tak- en his seat facing the esnate and house from in front of the dais President Cummins read the solemn words of the oath of office and with Bd as hand Mr. Dawes responded: “I do," Immediately the old senate was declared adjourned sine die, and the new vice president, calling the new senate to order with a sharp rap of the gavel, began his inaugural ad. dress, At 12.53 p. m. the president and vice president started for their pie on the stand outside the cap ol. There was astonishment on the facts of many senators when their new presiding officer launched at once Into an attack on time honored senate rules, particularly that which Permits @ one-man filibuster to hold up legislation tndefinitely, While the ceremonies tn the nen- ate chamber were tn progress, the throng on the plaza outside had Brown to vast proportion The wide open space before the capitol bail pal with humanity, @ address of General took but a few “minutes. mee ators applauded only a little at the conclusion of the speech, toward the end of which he shook hé& clenched hand at bis hearers with all the vigor he used to show when as a bers of the house seemed to get the most enjoyment out of it. Before the senate setting broke up, the president's proclamation call- {ng it in special session was read and oaths were administered to new senators. After two groups of four senators each had been sworn in under the usuel procedure, the vice president got tired of the formality. “Bring ‘em/all on” he shouted amid laughter and applause. Soon the well in front of the dais was crowded with senators, The vice president did not take time to shake hands with the last 24 senators. In- stead he turned to his desk and an- nounced that the inauguration of the president would take place at once on the east portico of the Cap- itol, Bang” went the gavel and the senate had adjourned.
