He was accom- panied only by secret service men and passed a rolling chair that had been for him but which he did not use. The corridors were lined with sen- ate attaches and others and the pres- smiled greetings at them spite the evidence of physical effort whjch his walking entailed. There werp murmurs of sympathy as the president entered the elevator which took him up to within a short dis- tance of the president’'s room where he passed on final bills enacted by congresa Much Handshaking. President-elect Harding was in the president’s room when Mr. Wilson arrived Members of the Wilson cab- inet also were on hand and warmiy greeted their chief. As the president entered there was brisk handclapping, which Mr. Harding joined. Boon after the president entered the room Mr. Harding left for the senate chamber. Meantime the president took up the work of sign- ing bills as they were presented to him by Rudolph Forster, the White House executive clerk. the room in Wilson Signs Bills The president signed the sundry eivil and hospital appropriation bills, the resolution voting Champ Clark and some minor bills. It was said he would pocket the fmmigration restriction bill. The babel of the senate recess was halted sharply at 11:45 by the vice- president's gavel. The senate then adopted the house resolution for a committee to wait on President Wil- son to ascertain if he had any further requests. President Wilson left the capitol at 11:656, returning to the White House. The president-elect visited the presi- | dent in the president’s room and bade him and Mrs. Wilson good bye. Mr. Wilson was invited to the senate chamber for the Inauguration of Mr. Coolidge but excused himcelf.

The Jjoint congressional inaugural committee, headed by Senator Knox arrived with the vice-president-elect at 15. Mr. Coolidge took a seat at Mr. Marshall's right and the crowds applauded as they shook hands. There was a pause while the con- gressional committee left to escort the president-elect into the chamber. There was tumultuous applause as Mr: Harding, on Senator Knox's arm, walked to his seat in front of the vice-president’'s rostrum and taced the audience. At w signal from Mr. Marshall, Mr. Coolidge took the oath, with upraised arm, and a distinot “I do'’ at the close. This was at 12:21 p. m. When the applause had died away Mr. Mar- shall began delivery of his valedic- tory. Applaase for Marshall. Applause broke into Mr. Marshall's address frequently and there w: laughter when he deplored public men becoming “mere bellboys.”” The audience rose and applauded at length as he concluded. He then de- clared the senate adjourned sine die Calling the new senate to order, Vice-president Coolidge in a single faint gavel tap, ordered prayer by the | senate ehaplain, the Rev. J. J.

Washington, March 4.—There were loud cheers when the president de- livered his condemnation of war profi- teering in connection with his inau- gural address. In the midst of his address, Mr. Harding departed from his prepared manuscript to make reference to the group of wounded soldiers just be- low the inaugural stand He as- sured them *that this republic will never be ungrateful for the scrvices vou have rendered” and added that he hoped for a policy which wonld adequately provide in the future for those wounded in war-time. While he was speaking a woman fainted just in front of the stand and | motioned to secret to zo to her aid. The first lady of the land turned her at- tention away from the inaugural speech and followed with her eyes the first aid rendered to the stricken woman. A marine had led the woman away before Mrs. Iiarding again turned back to follow the address. |TODAY’S CEREMONIES SIMPLE IN EXTREME Mrs. Harding service man Were Probably More So Than Those When Washington First Took His Outh. Washington, March 4.—The cere- monies surrounding the inauguration of the new president were if any- thing cven more simple than those attending the first inauguration of George Washington. The usual morn- ing salute of naval guns was missing and there was absolutely nothing in the way of a military or civil proces- sion. The only troops on hand were four squadrons of cavalry assigned by the congressional inaugural committee as an escort for the new president. Five | hundred marines for guard duty at | the Capitol and as many regular army infantrymen from Fort Myer for guard duty along the streets. Despite the absence of the usual | parade to follow the inauguration, thousands crowded against the re- | straining wires on Pennsylvania ave- nue or milled along the sidewalks braving a raw wind to await the re- | turn of the president to the White House. Many of the spectators had stood in their places since early morn- ing. | President Harding concluded his | address at 1:55 p. m., after talking | exactly 37 minutes. There was another roar of applause | a8 he concluded and turned to recelve the congratulations of those on the inaugural stand. Vice-President Co lidge was the first to shake han with him. As the president and Mrs. Harding started from the stand the marine band played a stanza of Amer- jea, the crowd began to disperse and the inauguration was over. Russell Bros. Best eggs, 5lc doz.

Following the adoption of the budget, Alderman C. J Dehm by order of the common council will present resolution for the inauguration of the two-platoon system in the fire de- partment. This, it is expected, will ignite the real fireworks of the eve- ning. The firemen have carried on an energetic campaign for the adoption of the two-platoon system, carrying their claims to the pulpits and the moving picture screens and they are confident that favorable action will be taken in the matter. Leading the ! opposition to the movement is P. S. Mcdahon who has been identified with the Jow tax movement for about three years, Neither the budget of the board of finance and taxation nor the Taxpayers' association has pro- vided for the two-platoon system hence the necessity of having it in- troduced as a new matter. If arrangements can be made in ' time, it is expected that the Taxpayers’ association will hire a band to ad- vertice the meeting and bring the voters out. The band will parade the streets grom 6:30. | | WEATHER FORECAST. Prediction 1s for Slightly Warmer Temperature Tomorrow.

Senator Brown sald that although in general sympathy with the objection of Milford people to the carelessness of some summer residents he doubted whether a law would be constitutional to v what kind of a cloak I shall wear— whether it be brown or blue”. or whether the town would have the right to enforce a law requiring the wearing of cloaks. Senator Bowers, BOY, the and | chairman of the committee, said the attorney general will be asked for an opinion. ATTENDS SENATE MEETING President Harding Establishes New Precedent in this Action Washington, March 4.—President Harding's first act after delivering his inaugural address was to attend an executive session of the senate. It was understood that he presented nomin- atjons of his cabinet officers in per- son. The chief executive was escorted in- to the senate chamber by Senators Lodge and Underwood, the republican and democratic leaders. So far as senate attaches and others could recall it was the first time a president had attended a senate exe- eutive session since the days of Wash- ington and Jefferson. It was said that President Harding addressed the senate for five minutes. He then returned to his private room prior to leaving the capitol for the White House. STOCK APPRA RS.
