Another increase for the District carried in the deficiency bill for the District was $5,000 for the Health Department for the prevention of contagious diseases. Amendments Added. Many amendments of a general na- ture were added to the deficiency bill, including one by Senator Fletcher of Florida, providing $7,980,000 to con- tinue constructoin of public buildings in various parts of the country be- | yond the limit of cost set on them. | The Senate adopted an amendment providing $10,000 for the use of the commission recently appointed by the President in pursuance to an act of Congress to make plans for the bl- centennial_celebration of the birth of George Washington in 1932, Two legislative amendments were adopted by the Senate, one providing for a joint committee to study the military properties of the United States during the coming recess of | Congress and the cther authorizing a | joint commission for the investigation | of the public domain.

On either side will be a detall of “out- riders,” cavalrymen especially picked for the purpose, to guard the Presi- lent to and from the Capitol. The re- turn trip will be made In exactly the same order. Cars for 12 newspaper men and for secret service men will also appear in the line. Taft to Give Onth. At the Capitol the President and the Vice President will be In the hands of the congressional joint committee. They will be met first by Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, grand marshal of the parade, and his staff and escorted to the Benate chamber. There the usual eremonies will be gone through, and these over the President will be sworn fin by Chief Justice Taft Immediately afterward he will de- liver his inaugural address and lose no time getting back to the White House. Contrary to previous arrange- ments, the President will not be es- corted part of the way by the inau- gural parade. His party will hurry in dvance, snatch as much luncheon as they can and proceed to the review- ing stand the minute the column be- gins to approach the Treasury. It was announced that the Presi- dent wishes the parade to “sound off” immediately after he starts back, so that the crowds waiting to =ee it may not be unnecessarily delayed The idea of halting the procession long enough for the President to finish his lunch has been disapproved. Once the parade beging its march, it will halt only for possible unavold- able interruptions, and It Is expected it will be over before 2 o'clock. The Grand Army of the Republic alone is to have the privilege of act- ing as guard of honor to the Presi- dent on the day of his succession to office. No other veteran organiza- tion will appear either With the offi- clal party or even in the parade as a Gefinlte organization. Veterans of the World War and even of the Span- ish-American War there will be ga- lore, but they will march as soldiers of the Natlon Not until yesterday did the Presi- dent relent to the pleas that poured in upon him in behalf of the now bent old men who once faced the fate of battle back in the uncertain days of '64. He turned a deaf ear to the argument that precedent dictated the necessity of the appearance of the Grand Army of the Republic In_ the line—that not since the days of Lin- coin had it been slighted. Finally he was told the story of the quickening disappearance of the Grand Army members from the Nation's life. In the last four years they have fallen fast. Four years later, when the next inaugural date arrives, their humbers will be far fewer. And in the face of this certainty he agreed that the vet- erans of the Clvil War had a just claim to a part in the ceremonies and decided that elght of thelr number should escort him as a guard of honor. Moulton to Choose Aldes. H. B. Moulton, commander of the Department of Washington of the Grand Army of the Republic, was summoned to the White House yes- terday and informed of the arrange- ments. He will select the elght men who will escort the President, among whom probably wlill be national offi- cers of the Grand Army. Announce- ment of the guard will be made the first of the week, after the list has been submitted first to the White House. On the reviewing stand with the President will be the members of his official party, ranking officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps and a limited number of invited guests.

THE AREAS ON NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF PENNSYLVANIA LINCOLN MEMORIAL stand was built to accommodate only 50 persons, at the request of the President. The names of his guests will not be announced, it was stated Immediately after the parade has passed the President will go back to his work. At 4:30 o'clock, however, he and Mre. Coolldge will receive the governors of the States, their wives and a strictly limited number from their suites. The reception is to be strictly informal and will require but 15 minutes, according to the schedule, for at 4:45 o'clock he will begin to receive a party of close friends from Northampton, numbering not more than 100 persons. WHI Not Attend Fetes. That will end the President’'s par- ticipation in any inaugural plans. He will not appear at either the inaug- ural concert, to be held at the Wash ington Auditorium, or the charity inaugural ball, to be held at the May- flower Hotel. Present arrangements call for a quiet evening at the White House with members of the Presi- dent’s own family and of Mrs. Cool- idge's family, and possibly a few very close friends. Both the Washington citizen's com- mittee and the committee In charge of arrangements for the harity inaugural ball, headed by Mr. Galliher and Mrs. John Allen Doughert spectively, have virtually completed their work. But for the building of a few more public reviewing stands and brushing up of eleventh-hour de- tails, the stage is all set for raising the curtain now. Final arrangements for the han- diing of traffic and policing of the district around the Mayflower during the ball will be made tomorrow, when officials of the Police and Fire De- partments and members of the ball committee meet at a luncheon with Mrs. Dougherty. Those at the luncheon will make definite arrange- ments for the distribution of public safety agencies in and outside of the hotel. ‘Will Attend Luncheon. Those attending the luncheon will be Lieut. Col. C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, who i serving as chairman of the floor committee; Maj. Danlel Sullivan, with Inspectors Evans, jrant, Kelley and Headley of the Poltce Department; Fire Chief George S. Watson and Battallon Chief O'Con- nor, Capt. McMorris of the park police, Headquarters Detective Ar- thur Scrivener, E. H. Van ssan, Mrs. Dougherty and Mr. Merry, man- ager of the hotel. A meeting of the floor committes will be held later in the day. As the result of these two gatherings, a full announcement of all plans for the ball will be possible Tuesday morning, al- lowing ample time for any minor re- visions that may be found necessary. Plans For Safety. Fire Chief Watson yesterday in- spected the Mayflower ballroom and adjoining rooms with Mrs, Dougherty, with a view of making pertinent sug- gestions on hils department’'s share in the plan: at ‘the luncheon. Chief Watson said he intended to send 40 picked men to the ball. Maj. Sullivan, for the Police Department, will send a detall of plain clothes men. State flags will add color to the ball. As each visiting governor arrives at the scene of the function he will be preceded by a color guard, carrying hie State flag down the promenade to the box which has been reserved for the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes and visiting governors and their wives. Maj. Alvin C. Sandiford has been placed in charge of the color guards. ki i it A novel motor car without wheels is equipped with two palirs of run- ners each 10 feet long.

The extent to which lower Pennsyl- vania avenue's eyesores, ramshackle buildings of the city's early history, “Chinese joints” which have baen the worry of the police and others, and all of which have been the objects of ro little unfavorable comment from natives and visitors alike because of thelr close proximity to the Capitol, would give way to the march of city beautification under the terms of the Underhill bill, which has been favor- ably reported in the House of Repre- sentatives, was explained yesterday by Col. C. O. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The squares which hold the dilapi- dated buildings which detract mate- rially from the beauties of the city and are a reflection on the historic thoroughfare along which the pa- rades of state march would, under the terms of the bill, be turned into a mall, and through a part would be extended B street. so as to make it one continuous boulevard from the proposed Arlington Memorial Bridge to the Capitol grounds. B street, as it now ru stops at Sixth street and begins again at Third street, but if the Underhill bill becomes a law, the two squares, which interrupt it, could be pur- chased, and it would be extended through them.
