I 1e person least excited this morn- Ing at the White House was Presi- dent Coolidge himself. He did not forego his usual routine until the| hour for his departure was near at hand. After breakfast he went to his omrp‘ and plunged Into the business that awaited him there with as much un- | concern as he would manifest on an ordinary day. After recelving a friend or two he had a long conference with his new secretary, Everett Sanders of Indiana, and signed several minor bills. | John Cool son of the A’rrsl«lsnt‘ | and Mrs. Coolidge, arrived at the White House about 10 o'clock and was forced to eat. a late breakfast, while | his mother and Col Coolidge, his grandfather, with several other houss guests, sat with him. Cabinet Members Call. The quietude of the White House Srounds was broken for the first time 10:25 a.n., when members of the cabinet, in a long line of automoblles, ] Up and entered the munsion e minutes later the Vice Presi- dent-elect, accompanied by Mrs Dawes and Senator Curtis, arrived from the Willard Hotel and joinca the cabinet members Inside Shortly thereafter the remainder of the presidential party drove up. First came the members of the con- gressional inaugural committee, then Chairman Galliher of the citizens committee and a few moments later venerable Grand Army veterans were to compose the suard of honor. A brilliant touch to the line of assembling automobiles was furnish- ed by the two shi & new touring cars, just out of the factory, and bearing the presidential coat-of:arms, which drew up to await their dis-| tinguished occupants, Party Leaves White House. The contingent of White House guests and friends left for the Capitol At 10:40 am.. accompanied by wives and relatives of the cabinet circle. Among those in this party were Col. Coolidge, Mrs. A. I Goodhue, of Northampton, - Mass, _mother of Mrs. Coolidge: Mrs. R. M. Hills neighbor of Mrs. Goodhue: Miss Laura Skinner of New York: President Olds of Amherst College: Ralph Hemmen- way, the President's former law partner: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stearns of Boston, close friends of the Presi- dent; John Coolidge and the two Dawes children.— Meanwhile the cavalry had drawn up in military fashion on the Avenue in front of the White House, thelr polished trappings shining out de- spite a passing cloud. The “passing cloud” soon was fol- lowed by a number of other ominous brethren that started the crowds near the White House craning their necks and nodding their heads as they dis- cussed the likelihood of the weather plans going awry Coolldge Leaves White House. Promptiy at 11 o'clock the doors of the White House swung open and President Coolidge, Mrs. Coolidge and 8enator Curtis of Kansas, member of the congressional committee, walked to the waiting automobile, the top of which had been lowered, Mrs. Coolidge, who walked between her husband and the Senator, made an attractive figure in a fashionable £ray coat, with gray fur trimmings and gray hat to match. Mr. Coolidge wore a long black overcoat over formal morning dress, topped off by a black silk hat Mrs. Coolidge entereéd the car first, seating herself in the center of the rear seat. The President placed him- aelf at her right and Senator Curtiy sat at her left. A secret service man was beside the chuuffeur in front. After the presidential car had movyed slowly down the ciroular driveway and halted near the front gate toward the Treasury Depart- ment. the other new machine pulled up and reqgived Gen. Dawes, Mrs. Dawes and Representative Griest of Pennsylvania, another member of the congressional committee. Mra. Dawes in nek. black fur, and the Mrs. Dawes trimmed with black black ensemble was set off by a blue hat. The Vice President- elect was seated at his wife's right, with Representative Hadley to her left. Their car halted behind the President's machine to awalt the loading of the other cars comprising their party At thiz juncture it seemed that the White House grounds became alive with newspaper men and motion pic- ture photographers. They all con- verged in a wide circle about the President’s automobile and proceeded to “shoot” the occupants from every conceivable angle. For a while Mr. Coolidge appeared to take no partic- ujar notice of the fact that he was the center of focus of a veritable army of cameras. but as Mrs. Coolidge and Senator Curtls jocularly discussed the “parrage” the countenance of the President broke into a smile. Dawes Enjors Sitmati Gen. Dawes and his party at the réar seemed to be enjoying the situa- tion immensely, especially in view of the fact that the photographers seemed have ignored them al- together Meanwhile the 11 other cars were being Joaded in rapid succession under the White House porte cochere. The third machine contained the four re- maining members of the congressional committse, Senator Overman of North Carolina, Senator Hale of Maine, Rep- resentative Hadley of Washington and Representative Rouse of Ken- tucky. The fourth was occupied by the citizens’ Inaugural committee. with Representative Sanders and the President's private secretary, Edward T. Clarke; the fifth had in it the President’s aides, Col. Sherrill of the Army and Capt. Adolphus Willlams of the Navy, and the next five machines carried the members of the Cabinet. Seated with Secretary of War Weeks was Sergt Mike Donovan, medal of honor hero. G. A. R. Veterans Follow. Then followed two carloads of G. A, R veterans,.their thinned ranks sharply contrasting with the numbers which served as guard of honor dur ing previous inaugurations. Two Secret Service automobiles and 1#0 contalning newspaper men brought up the rear of the procession as it prepared to leave the White House &rounds. wore a coat, to Crowd Cheers President. As the leading car started out of the grounds across the sidewalk the throngs that had packed about this ~ntrance sent up a shout of acclama- tlon. But the President showed no s{gn of recognition. The presidential car slid in between two sections of his mounted escori— the 2d Squadron of the 3rd Cav- alry of Fort Myer, Va, Maj. J. M. ainwright commanding. The rear spction embraced the color guard. iWhen the well guarded White House car had moved slowly forward the machine containing Gen. Dawes rolled out to find its way blocked by its own escort of cavalry from Fort Myer. In charge of Capt. J. R. Finley. It the original plan had been to have the Vice President's escort bring up the rear of the Dawes car, or to lave It “sandwiched” in between as had been done In the President's case, the exigencies of the moment necessi- tated a quick change in program, and the Vice President-elect rade unguard- ed from the rear, so far as the regu- lar military was’concerned. Prew'dent Recognizes Cheer. The line of automobiles had begun its ride to the Capitol past the Tre: ury Building when the crowds that had sjueezed themselves in every place of vantage joined in a tremen- dous cHeer, which was taken up farther down Fifteenth street by the expectant throngs in waiting, The President raised his hat in response to the swelling applause as he neared the south end of the Treasury. All along the route to the Capitol the President and his official party were greeted with the plaudits and cheers of the walting crowds. Due probably to the chilliness in the air, Mr. Coolidge doffed his hat only a few times during the ride, confining his response to a wave of the hand or a motion resembling a military salute. Mrs. Coolidge, who sat be- tween the President and Senator Cur- tis, chatted freely and was particu- larly generous with her smiles In acknowledging the reception of the crowds. Gets Ovation at Ca; L The President received the great- est ovation as he reached the east plaza of the Capitol, where a great mass of bumanity jammed the ani- mated amphitheater. The enthusi- astic manifestation continued in- cessantly until Mr. Coolidge and his party entered the Capitol Building. tering the Capitol, the official party went immediately to the Presi- dent’s room in the Senate wing, where they were greeted by a large dele Eation of Senators and other promi. | nent political leaders. After a brief | reception, the President devoted his | attention to bills passed by Congress | in_its closing hours. { Mr. Coclidge affixed his signature| 1o a number of measures, and when the legislative appropriation bill, in- creasing the salaries of members of Congress was reached, he halted ab- ruptly. The hearts of legislators nearby began to throb excitedly. He called over Gen. Lord of the Budget Bureau, asked him about one para- 8raph, and then signed the bill Reapo; to Semate Ovation. As the President went into the Senate chamber after signing the bills to witness the inaugural cere- monies of Gen. Dawes, he was given a rousing ovation, to which he re- sponded with a slight bow of his head and a faint smile. He then took a seat facing the Senate and House in front of the dais. Mrs. Coolidge entered the Presi- dent's gallery and took a seat be- side Col. John Coolidge, the Presi- dent's father. The spectators in the Ealleries arose, but there was a total absence of any demonstration. Long before noon the grounds to the east of the Capitol had been planketed with a covering of humanity. Bright costumes of women formed gay splotches of color over this restless expanse of spectator: and as a benevolent sun managed t struggle from behind a temporary curtain of clouds the sea of anxious faces. to change the simile, becams one of smiles. Prestdent Goes to St After sitting through the some what lengthy. ceremonies in the Sen- ate chamber, during which not only the Vice President-elect, but the new Senators were sworn in, President Coolidge left for the east portico, followed by the entire officlal party. As the President appeared from the wing of the Senate chamber and walked to the stand the Marine Band struck up “Hall to the Chief,” while the spectators launched into prolong- ed cheering. The President took his place on the stand at exactly 12:56 o'clock. With but little preliminary ado, Chief Justice Taft, in his somber robe of black, stepped forward promptly at 1 o'clock and began reciting the time-hallowed oath that 29 other Executives before President Coolidge have taken The heavy voice of the Chief Jus- tice as he intoned the sacred words | prescribed by the Constitution boomed through the great amplifiers with tremendous force. As he con- cluded the final words of the oath there was an instant of stillness and then, in sharp contrast with the loud tones of the Chief Justice, those near the stand heard the President mur- mur: “1 do.” Taft Emphastzes Oath. As he made his vow the President | stood frmly In front of the Chiet Justice, who was standing, hand up- raised, at the south end of the ros- trum. With each sentence the volcs of the justice was raised in emphasis of a particular .phrase, and with each stressing of & word the amplifiers did double duty. The President apparently moved not a muscle while listening at. tentively to the oath, but as soon as it had ‘been completed he bent far forward over the Bible and sealed with the two words of affirmation his pledge to keep the faith. Directly behind the two principals sat Mrs. Coolllge and other relatives and friends of the President. They leaned forward expectantly the oath wis being administered. Almos fnmediately the naw Presi- dent began the reading of his fnau- gural address. ee Carrien Well, There was virtually ne demonstra- tion by the crowd until the President had Jaunched well Into his address, Standing hatless, but in his overcoat, at the tront of the rostrum and using a few gestures to emphasize his words, he lifted his voice to a pitch well adapted for amplification by the battery of microphones installed be- fore him. But part of the crowd, apparently dsirous of removing to points west of the Capitol in preparation for the parade that was to come, manifested its intent by gradually starting away from the east front while the Presi- dent was vet in the midst of his speech. This movement soon became general among thousands of those gathered just behind the plaza’ and, before the police or other guards knew what was happening, the road- ways leading westward down Capitol Hill were cluttered with men, women and children. There was considerable difficulty experienced in again clea ing these thoroughfares for the President’s party. As the reading of the address pro- ceeded the crowds began to applaud more vigorously, and by the time mention was made by the President of his intention of see.ng that Amer.. ica does not lug in military forces the cheering had grown vociferous, ' _Crowd Grows Restless. The President's voice carried well over the battery of public speech am- ! idge turned hi plifiers, but the restlessness of the great crowd caused considerable co fusion, and many were observed leaning forward to catch the signifi- cance of his words.

In Close Teuch With Affairs. As Representative Zihlman took a leading part In having the legislation passed establishing the Natfonal Cap- ital Park Commission he is in clomest touch with its purposes and will have prestige in securing legislative action that may be needed. This commission proposes to carry out the MacMillan plan of parkway development. In the appropriation bill just passed $600,- 000 are carried for the use of this commission. Representative Zihiman lead a vigorous fight which resulted in restoration of this item after it had been stricken from the bill by the subcommittee of the House appro- priations committee and he conducted a fight to obtain the total appropria tion of $1,100,000 carried in the law establishing the commission. Representative Zihlman intends to continue his demands upon the House | appropriations committee for the full amount provided by law and hopes to obtain this appropriation . of more than a million dollars next year. Lankam Ranking Demchrat. Representative Fritz Lasham of Texas as ranking Democrat on the House cosamittee on public bulldings and grounds was named as member of the public buildings commission as successor to Representative Frank Clark of Florida, who leaves Congress today after 20 years service. Representative Lanham formerly was 2 member of the House District committee and recelved his education in local schools, so that he is tamiliar with conditions in the Capital. In view of the fact that the Repub- lican caucus last Friday agreed upon Representative Longworth of Ohio for Speaker in the next Congress, which assures him of the position. he today was named a member of the House Office Building commission to succeed Speaker Gillett, who today became.a member of the Senate. —eeeeeeeeee groups, however, every word of the speech was audible, Throughout the ceremoniss several rows of choice seats directly fac- ing the Presidential stand, as well as others farther back. remained vacant.

As the President put on his hat and prepared to re-enter his car the colorful plcture that had spread in front of him soon became a confused mass of blended shades. The bril- Jiant red block. shot with flashes of silver from brightened instruments fhat had marked the Marine Band group, soon became lost in the gen- eral commotion, and the striking uni- forms of the diplomatic corps and the military were equally diffused in the steady stream that rushed to- ward the Avenue.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4,—Osteo- paths and chiropractors are not eli- gible to pass on the physical condition of athletes participating in prof sional ring contests, according to a ruling made pub'ic here today by State Attorney General U. S. Webb. ! Webb's interpretation of the law was given In response to a query submitted by the State athletic com- mission.at Sacramento. According to Webb, the only person competent to pass on the physical condition of a prize fighter “is a physician,” and he held that osteopaths and chiroprac- tors do not come under this headin nd Vice Executives and their wives strolled down the West roadway toward the stands. They seemed in no hurry to take their places with the others, and halfway .to the gate the party halted, when the President suddenly noted that his father, his son and Mr. and Mrs. Stearns had ap- parently been left behind. A secret service operative immediately was sent in search of them. With- this matter settied, the Pre: dent and his companions proceeded through the gate and along the fence to the glass-inclosed stand midway of the fence. Troops lined the path along the fence and restrained the too-eager watchers from breaking through the cordon. In the presidential reviewing party were, beside the principals mentioned, Senator and Mrs, Curtis, Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft, Senator and Mrs. Cum- mings, Senator and Mrs. Gillett, Mr, and Mrs. Galliher, Col. Coolidze, Mrs. Goodhue, John Coolidge and Senator Butler. As s00n as the President and Mr Coolidge had seated themselves the procession was signaled to Droceed. At this time the head of the parade had reached Fifteenth street, and with a flourish of arms and the blare of trumpets the columns swung into action, ROW I EDLCATION BOARD IS REVIVED President Lloyd Refuses to Resign After Promise in Letter to Peyser. The breach between James T. Lloyd, president of the Board of Education, and Capt. Julius I. Peyser, who ac- cused him of using his office to ad- vance his business Interests, was #plit wider by sensational develop- ments which came as a climax (o a business session of the board vester- day afternoon fn the Franklin School Arrangements had been made quletly to end the controversy. it seemed, through the promise of Mr. Lloyd to resign as president at the close of yesterday's business meeting, to be followed by his resignation & member of the board on March 10. Mr. Lloyd, however, changed his mind The promise to resign was revealed in correspondence which Capt. Peyser made public after Mr. Lloyd had failed, as a vote on adjournment was about to be taken, 1o indicate that he was ready to announce his restgna- tion president. The letters were not made public until a session of the board was held behind closed doors. One of the Tetters, under date of February 1%, was written to Capt. Peyser by Mr. Lloyd. It was headed “confidential until resignation is pre- sented” The letter follows “My Dear Captain: It is my pur- Pose’ to present my resignation as president of the Board of Education ar the close of the business session on March 4. Immediately following that 1 expect to present my resigna- tion as a member of the board to the Supreme Court, to take effect on March 10, “I am giving notice of my inten- tion to each member of the board.” Reply by Capt. Peyaer. Tnder daté of March 3, Capt ser replied to Mr. follows: My Dear Mr. Lioyd: Answering your letter of Februars 19, 1925, relative to your proposal to present your resigna- tion as president of the Board of Educa- tion, and eventually to present your resignation as a member of the board to the Supreme Court of thie District of Co- lumbia, T beg to say that there has been considerable discussion among the mem- bers of the board, and that 1 am in- formed that the letter which was re- quested by you to be kept confidential has been discussed by your friends not members of the board. 1 take this op- portunity in stating that for this reason 1 do not feel that I am bound to keep the letter sent to me confidential. “I dasire to state, for your informa- tion, that if your resignation as the president of the board is presented to- day 1 shall move that all matters per. taining to the controversy between you and me be expunged from the records. On the other hand, in the event your resignation is not presented 1 shall ask Mr. Greenwood, chairman of the com- mittee of the whole, to proceed.” After the board meeting Mr. Lioyd admitted that he had notified Capt. Peyser that he would resign, but did not do 50, because six members re- quested him to stay on the board. Capt. Peyser and Ernest Greenwood, he sald, wers the only members who did not urge him to remafu. Charges Not Withdrawn. Capt. Peyser told newspaper re- porters after the meeting that Mr. Lloyd promised to resign at his de- mand, but “got cold feet.” Asked it he had withdrawn his charges against Mr. Lloyd, Capt. Peyser replied in the negative. “And I will not with- draw them,” he added. Capt. Peyser also declared that he had 300 pages of typewritten evi- dence to show that Mr. Lloyd was elected president of the board through “a trick,” while Mr. Greenwood was in Europe. -Although he does not propose to continue to press these charges at future meetings of the board, Capt. Peyser said he would employ a different method of attack. A resolution 'congratulating Supt. Frank W. Ballou on his election as president of the Department of Super- intendence of the National Education Association was adopted unanimously. The board called a special session Tuesday night at 8 o'clock to recon- sider the pay scale for substitute teachers as a result of a request from the Teachers’ Council. A report of a special committee appointed to recommend a site. for the proposed Western High School athletic fleld was tabled, and _the whole matter referred to the Com- missioners. The report recommended the purchase of a site at Wisconsin avenue and S street. The Home and Schoal Assoclation of Western, as well as teachers and students, op- posed the selection of this site.
