FIREWORKS CLOSE IALEURAL VBN Elaborate Display Witnessed by 20,000 Gathered on Monument Grounds. The inaugural period was brought offi- clally to a close last night with the most elaborate pyrotechnical display ever seen in the Capital. Twenty thousand persons gathered on the slopes of the Washington Monument and in automobiles on the roadways around the towering shaft to witness a fireworks display arranged by the en- tertainment committee of the inaugural committee, originally scheduled for Mon- day night, but postponed until last night because of bad weather. Thousands more viewed the spectacle from windows of their homes and other places throughout the city, while many persons sat in the inaugural parade stands, already partially dismantled. The display, scheduled to last only a little more than haif an hour, consumed more than an hour, $3,000 in money and an undetermined amount of Greek fire, gunpowder and other pyrotechnic ma- terials. Every minute of it was packed with color and salvos of sound which vesembled a batter* of field artillery in action. e Fireworks experts iyom Newark, N. J who were retained by the committee to handle the affair, pauted on the sky, fireworks likenesses of President Hoover and Vice President Cig'is, vhich spout- ed up in a stream of re. fire and opened up into pink and green portraits of the President and Vice President. They sketched in fingers of fire a dirigible speeding across the sky toward an American flag. meeting an airplane of green and a great series of cascades of white fire. Interspersed with the more formal display were the customary “devil chasers.” pinwheels, Roman can- | dles and rockets. After the last piece had been touched | off the thousands who had parked their cars and thronged the nearby space to view the pageant made a rush for au- | tomobiles and_streets cars, causing a | half-hour traffic jam which marines, , soldiers and police slowly straightened | out.
