Senator Curtis arrived at the White House before other members of the offi- cial party. He left the Mayflower Hotel at & quarter after 10 o'clock, in com- pany with his sister, Mrs. Gann, and two members of the congressional in- augural committee. The latter were Scnators Hale of Maine and Overman of North Carolina. Before stepping into the White House automobile waiting in front of the hotel, the Vice President-elect paused to shake the hand of a little miss who had been thrust forward by a proud mother. The Curtis automobile pulled into the White House grounds at 20 minutes after 10 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were putting final touches on their attire when another White House automobile halted in front of their home amid a sputter of police motor cycles. The-President- elect put on the same silk hat which he wore during his South American tour, and he wore a formal morning coat and pin-striped trousers. Mrs. Hoover was dressed in a plum-colored costume, with small felt hat to match, and she had a corsage of colorful blossoms. The two smiled a greeting to the crowd which stood outside their home, and then entered the ecar and were whisked at a rapld pace down Connecticut avenue to the White House, arriving at 10:30 o'clock. In the meantime Mrs. Dawes aiso had put in her appearance, leaving her hus- band at his office in the Capitol. President _Coolidge remained in the executive offices until-all his guests had and received the assembled group in the blue room. Exactly at 11 o'clock the doors of the White House swung open and the re- tiring President and the man who was to succeed him at the helm of the ship of State walked out and entered their car. Mr. Coolidge took a seat at the right of Mr. Hoover. Also in the car were Senator Moses of New Hampshire and Representative Snell of New York, hcad- ing the nal committee. The motor of the car failed to start prompt- ly, but no one was disconcerted except the driver. The brief delay gave the photographers just the chance they ) were walting for, and they changed plates and ground away vigorously while the President and the President- elect smilingly submitted themselves as camera subjects. Escort of Cavalry Waits. ‘The presidential car pulled ahead in the curving driveway, at the far end of which waited a prancing regiment of Cavalry, designated as the military es- cort for the ride to the Capitol. Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Hoover en- tered the next car, in company with Representative Dyer of Missouri. Mrs. Coolidge wore a becoming coffee-colored outfit, with a bouquet of flowers at the walst. She was all smiles as she made her final departure from the mansion which had been her official home dur- ing six memorable years just ending. Mrs. Dawes was in the third automo- 5oR | bile, with Edward T. Clark and Everett Sanders, the White House secretaries. As succeeding automobiles came under the tall, white porte cochire, they rapidly were filled with military and naval aides, resplendent in their cocked hats, aiglets and gold braid, and with other dignitaries. Troops Lead Automobiles. With a flourish of trumpets, the mounted escort on Pennsylvania avenue swung into action. Part of the troops went ahead of the automobiles bearing the official party, and the remainder brought up the rear. There was scarcely more than a handful of spectators in the stands flanking the court of honor, but these did their best to give the procession a noisy send-off.

Just across the aisle was Allan Hoover, younger son of the new President. Spectators Raise Cheer. A few minutes more and most of the ofher guests in the Senate chamber had taken their seats outside. Some of those in the official stand stood up rather than sit in wet chairs. Just five minutes before the time for starting the ceremonies, the band struck | up “Hail to the Chief,” and as the thou- sands of eyes focussed on the stand, President Coolidge, President-elect. Hoover and Chief Justice Taft came out | of the Capitol and climbed to the plat- form. The tens of thousands of spec- tators were on their feet and waving their hats and cheering as the_trio sat down. Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Hoo- | ver were slow in following their hus- bands to the stand, causing a delay | of several minutes in opening the rites. | The new President took the oath at exactly 8 minutes past 1 o'clock. Stepping to the rostrum and placing his hand on the Bible, he faced the | black-robed Chief Justice, listened with . solemn mien to the pronouncement of ! the oath which 30 men before him have subscribed to.

By the Assoclated Press. On the eve of the end of his distin- guished career of 24 years in the House of Representatives, Pinis J. Garrett of Tennessee, Democratic leader, received tribute from his colleaguss. The Tennesseean was not orf the floor when Chairman Snell of the House rules committee spoke praise of the ranking minority member on the committee in behalf of both Republicans and Demo- crats. He returned, and his colleagues stood in his honor and applauded. Not Mr. Garrett remained standing until a honored. Somewhat nonplussed, Mr. Garrett, contrary to his usual fluency and ready wit, hesitatingly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Snell. Describing Mr. Garrett as an ideal Legislator, Mr. Snell said his retirement was a loss to his district, his State, to the House and the entire American people. Mr. Garrett retires today to | accept a judgeship in the Court of Cus- toms Clail Mr. Snell said he had been intimately associated for 14 years on the rules committee with Mr. Garrett and during the entire period, “notwithstanding the many controversial and political ques- tions that have come before the com- the reconstruction period and down to the present time, there has never been one unkind word or one moment of unfriendly feeling.” Despite Mr. Garrett's Democratic op- position, the New Yorker said, the Tennesseean had given freely to him of his knowledge of parliamentary pro- cedure and precedents in the House. Declaring that “we need men of his type in the American Congress,” Mr, Snell sald Mr. Garrett was udent, able, energetic and, above all, has the courage of his convictions.” For both Republicans and Democrats, Mr. Snell wished the Tennessean “as long a successful and distinguished career as he has had in the House of Representatives.” Standing behind the table where he led his fellow Democrats in many leg- islative battles, Mr. Garrett said he was grateful to Mr. Snell, with whom he had served s0 long and so agreeably, for his generous words, in reference to himself. “It is touching to my heart,” he said, “it is—it is a matter of profound gratification to know that I have the respect of the chairman of this com- mittee in which I have served through so many ins and outs in the life of the House.” knowing the meaning of the occasion, | friend whispered that he was being | mittee during the World War, during | it, IBER T'M RIGHT B EHIND YOU!” \CALLES IS DRAFTED | TO COMBAT REBELS IN MEXICO REVOLT (Continued From First Page.) | there were no definite reports of defec- tions in other states, although reports | [of rebel control of the Isthmus of | | Tehuantepec might imply Oaxaca had | | revolted. The government announcement of de- | parture of Gen. Gonzalo Escobar from Torreon was construed as denial of reports of his defection. There was some uncertainty, too, of the status of | the Mexican navy. Dispatches from | Vera Cruz said it had joined Gen. | | Aguirre. The President's statement to | | the press, however, sald the seven ships !in the Vera Cruz harbor had weighed |anchor and left, wirelessing the gov- ernment for instructions. | There were various reports as to how the movement started. The official | version s contained in the statement of President Portes Gil, which says that at 7 a.m. yesterday a message was re- ceived from Gen. Aguirre stating that various state officials had “assumed a o spicious attitude” and asking instruc- lons. | This, according to the President, was | intended to imply loyalty and to afford | an opportunity to further the revolt | he had already started.

It is possible that the entire movement thus far has been { accomplished without bloodshed at all. | _The President said that he had re- | ceived pledges of support from 23 mil- itary commanders in 22 states. but in view of Aguirre’s message the value of these pledges was in doubt today. Support for the government came in the action of Arron Saenz, governor of Nuevo Leon, wealthy northern state, in. suspending his candidacy for the presidency and offering his services in | the present emergency. Saenz with. drew from the convention of the N: tional Revolutionary party last Friday. He charged undue favoritism by the organizing committee to the opposin candidate, Pascual Ortiz Rubio. Plu- tarco Calles II, son of the former President, married Saenz's sister. The rebellion took most of Mexico City by surprise. First intimation that anything was wrong came in reports of interruption of train service on the Mexican railway line to Vera Cruz. At the railway station it was sald service was discontinued until further notice. Trucks full of soldiers carrying field equipment scurried .about the city and finally reports trickled past official re- serve of what had happened in Vera Cruz. A war council was held at Cha- pultepec Castle. the people as President of the United States. Moving to the rostrum and confront- ing the battery of microphones which were carrying the ceremonies to count- less millions throughout the world, the new President, without further ado, began reading his inaugural address. Speaks in Vigorous Tones. As he began his address a number of seats directly in front of the stand re- mained vacant, for some unexplained reason. President Hoover spoke in confident, vigorous tones, emphasizing his remarks ne He first drew applause when he paid a compliment to his predecessor in of- fice, Calvin Coolidge. Laier, when he exhorted the American people to su port the law and declared it to be the duty of every good citizen to abide by the statutes of his nation, he evoked more prolonged applause. The crowd evidenced its approval also of the state- ment that the peace of America and the peace of the world at large are “in- terlocking,” and of the after remark striking at membership in the League of e atrplane n airplane flew over the Caj during the first part of the nddgxl the noise of its motors attracting wide- spread attention from the spectators, As {he rain poured down more steadily during the course of the speech, a few of the spectators without unbrellas or other protection against the rain left the scene.

By the time the President had reached the last page of his manuscript the rain was descending relentlessly, and small groups of the drenched spectators be- gan drifting away. A cool breeze swept across the plaza and dashed the rain into the chilled faces and down the dripping coat collars of the listeners. Mr. Hoover completed delivery of i his address at 1:40 o'clock. There was a vociferous outburst of cheering, which wag cut short by’ the playing of “The presidential chamber and began the | oW and then with a gesture of the | Star Spangled Banner.” The huge throng stood with heads bared to the torrential rain during rendition of the national anthem. As the final strains ended the new ana old Presidents moved into camera range and allowed themselves to be photographed by the army of camera- men representing newspapers and news- reels. The band started another selec- tion, but the crowds already were melt- ing away in évery.direction. Many of the spectators did not wait for com- pletion of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Cheered Loudly. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were cheered | loudly as they left the stand, in com- |pany with their aides. “They entered the White House automobile and, led by the escort of Cavalry, returned to the White House through the slippery streets. Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge left the stand about five minutes later. The crowd cheered as both the Hoovers and the Coolidges made their departure. Mr. and_Mrs. Coolidge were driven direct to Union Station, where they boarded the train which was to take them back to private life in North- ampton. Over 300 persons were recipients of the hospitality of the President and the First Lady before the starting of the parade. In the state dining room a buffet luncheon was served and the guests included relatives of the Hoover family who arc in Washington for the inauguration, membeys of the new cab- inet, members of the old cabinet, high- ranking officers of the Army and Navy, members of the judiciary, of the Re- publican national committee, the in- augural committee and some of the vis- iting State delegations. The President and Mrs. Hoover, before partaking of any luncheon, hurried to their rooms! after returning from the Capitol and changed their clothes, which were soak- ed during the long ride from the Cap- itol to the White House. They ate! hastily before taking their positions on the reviewing stand. The President explained that he wanted to be in his position when the first of the parade | COOLIDGE CHEERED ONHIS DEPARTURE Crowds at Union Station Bid| Former President and | Wife Farewell. “Good-bye, good luck,” were the cheering words that came from 5,000 throats as the train which is bearing | ex-President Calvin Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge into the happy retirement from public life, at their old home at Northampton, Mass., pulled out of| Union Station promptly at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Thirty-five minutes earlier, as the | former President and his party arrived at Union Station, Mr. Coolld‘% said good-bye to the people of the United States he has served through the last |five and a half years, as he paused to speak a word to them in a microphone. It was just a word, “Good-bye,” that was broadcast throughout the country. Office Ends at 1:06. A private citizen since 1:06 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge reached the sta- tion immediately after the inaugural ceremonies of President Hoover, follo lnf a precedent set by Theodore Roose- velt in 1909, Those who watched his usually calm and mmmg tive countenance saw just the slightest flicker of relief pass over his face as his successor took the oath of office as he himself again be- came a private citizen. ‘Thousands of people choked the great Union Station Plaza as the cars bearing Mr. Coolidge and his party reached the side entrance reserved for his private use. Bareheaded, the for- mer President walked through the long concourse to his train, the Montrealer.

PLANS TO WRITE SERIES. Coolidge Articles to Develop Human Side of White House. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 4.—Calvin Coolidge will turn to the pursuit of literature when he re-enters private life after today's inauguration of his suc- cessor as President of the United States, at least to the extent of one series of magazine articles of the “human in- terest” type. As Mr. Coolidge’s retirement from public life drew near speculation steadily increased as to the sort of work he would do. No definite word came from the White House, but the belief grew that Mr. Coolidge would engage in some sort of literary wvors, and today that report was confirmed in New York. ‘When the question was put up to him directly, whether Mr. Coolidge was going to write for the American Maga- zine, Merle Crowell, the publication’s editor, acknowledged that a series of articles Mad been contracted for, al- _| though he would give no details. It was learned, however, that the Coolidge articles will not deal with the fine points of diplomacy or politics, but in tne White House. Mr. Coolidge will write of such things as the health of a President, how it is maintained so that he may give full energy of body and mind to his task of serving the people, and in what ways the health problem of a President differs from that of other men. 1 He may tell, too, to judge from the general type of material contracted for, of the social life of the White House and of the homely incidents -of human interest in a presidential existence which are generally hidden from public view behind the formalities of public appearances. What Mr. Coolidge will receive for his articles in the American e could not be learned, but it is known that one other offer made to him for part of his literary output suggested a yearly retainer of $25,000 and a guar- antee of one dollar a word for all the “‘copy” he cared to turn in. That offer was made by the Ency- tlopedia Americana and there were in- dications that Mr. Coolidge was inter- ested in it. One of his secretaries wrote Iast week to the company publishing the encyclopedia asking for more de- tails than were given in the original brief offer. The president of the com- )y replied, telling about the mone- &rx; compensation and uyln# that Mr. Coolidge would be free to write on any phase of political history and biography. In offering the dollar-a-word rate the president of the encyclopedia company said he would depend on Mr. Coolidge’s arrived at the court of honor.

THOUSANDS STORM CAPITOL HILL PLAZA Throng M]lls About Avenue Along Line of March to Witness Parade. ‘The broad expanse of the east plaza of the Capitol where Herbert Hoover took oath as the Nation’s new chief- tain became the Mecca this morning for the vanguard of the inaugural crowds. ‘The gray mist of the somber morning had not _lifted when the trek began to By 11 o'clock, a seething mass of humanity surged and milled over the entire area. Conservative esti- mators surveyed the throng at this hour and reported between 12,000 and 15,000 | with an_unending procession marching | on the Cupitol grotnds from all direc- tions. & s ‘With camp stools, blankets and lunch | kits they came. The more cautious | brought umbrellas or carried gay-col- ored slickers on their arms. ‘The Union Station continued to pour forth hundreds of visitors, augmenting the thousands already in the city. Most of them, it seemed, went directly to the Capitol plaza to view the first event in the quadrennial drama. Gather Early Along Avenue. Along Pennsylvania avenue, where the great military pageant was to pass in review, the crowds also began to gather early and adjusted themselves for the long wait before the procession started on its way from Capitol Hill. Most of the early comers sought places against | the taut cables stretched along the curbs, but there were a few who had found advantageous positions in shop windows along the line of ‘march and | in_inaugural stands. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the first unit in the inaugural parade marched into the area of formation east of the Capitol grounds, but the others followed in quick succession. and by noon mearly all of them were ready to fall into Iine. The Maryland Na- tional Guard, several hundred strong, led the other organizations to the f mation point and stopped at its as- signed location, at Third and C streets southeast. Scores Banked on Sides. Aside from the Capital grounds, Penn- sylvania avenue between Sixth and | Twelfth streets, seemed to be the most | not hold tickets for seats in the wooden banked three and four deep along this section of the avenue before the opening events in the inaugural pageant. Throngs Line Avenue. By noon the crowd had fmwn tre- mendously and & solid mass of humanity pressed against the cable barricade all the way from Eleventh street east to Peace Monument, the section least. lib- erally provided with wooden stands. Large crowds also had gathered along the reviewing stands had monopolized most of the sidewalk space. The cold, raw wind apparently caused some discomfort and who had gathered on hotel balconies or low- roofed buildings wrapped themselves in blankets. Others were using newspapers | for_protection. on or south to the Avenue, but the worst tie-up was reported in the vicinity of the Capitol grounds. A jam also de- veloped along Pennsylvania avenue near Third street when some of the cars of the Pennsylvania delegation got mixed up in their directions on the way to Capitol to take their place in the parade. Traffic policemen, rowed Baltimore by the Wash. ington Police Department, straightened them out, however. | Crowds did not begin to assemble in | large numbers in the vicinty of the Treasury until after 10 o'clock, but.by noon, it was estimated that more than 5,000 had jammed their way as closely as possible to the tightly stretched bar- ricades. Ticket holders to the stands in this vicinity also were slow to gather, | but the seats began to fill rapidly after | n | oon. At the other end of the avenue, in the | Péace Monument area, there was an- | other picture, however, as the crowd had begun to gather early. A number of persons found choice places against the cabled barricade, but those who were unable to get near the curb roved back and forth restlessly. Peace Monument stood out in this picture like an oasis in a barren desert. One lone civilian guard with a special police badge conspicuous- ly displayed on his overcoat was the only person at the base of the monument, while the curbs on either side of the -vgme nearby were fringed with spec- tators.

The expanse of humanity stretched as far as the eye could see and scores of men and boys were perched in the stately old elms which grace the historic plaza. Hundreds of spectators were on the roof of the Capitol and of the House Office Bullding. The light rain turned the ocean of faces into a billowy sea of umbrellas. Those who had dared to defy the weather by leaving umbrellas at home shielded their heads and laps from the rain with newspapers. The crowds tried to forget their discomfort by listening to the voices from the loud- speakers. The brilliant_red and blue uniforms of the Marine Band, assembled expect- antly in front of the platform, took on a somewhat bedraggled appearance as the rain continued, for there was no shelter of any kind for the musicians. Mr. Dawes, in his new role as former Vice President, and Vice President Cur- tis emerged from the Senate chamber and took seats in the covered stand at 12:50 o'clock. They looked appre- hensively at the skies and protected themselves from gusts of rain which whipped under the roof now and then and spattered their immaculate cut- away coats and shining toppers. Tree Roosters Gain Perches. Two hours before the scheduled start of the inaugural procession the sturdy limbs of trees along the western fringe of the Capitol grounds were converted into improvised reviewing stands by a score or more of men, who apparently escaped the attention of the all-seeing Capitol police. Tree roosting in the Capitol grounds is officially taboo, for inaugural or any other kind of cere- monies. Reserves Called Out. ‘The police reserves were called out shortly before the parade got under way to control the crowd milling into the Keith’s Theater lobby, seeking shelter from the rain. It was only a matter of moments before the disorder was quelled. Dr. Joseph G. B. Bulloch, 77, of 2700 ‘Twenty-eighth street, was knocked down by a street car while crossing Connecticut avenue in front of the Mayflower Hotel about 11 o'clock this mornifg and severely injured. He was treated at Emergency Hospital for lacer- ations of the scalp and shock and an injury to his skull, the state of which will be determined by an X-ray picture. His condition was reported undeter- mined. Julius Seay, 211 A street southeast, was the motorman on the car, which was going north when the accident hap- pened.
