Chief Executive. •/£ mh: M VISITORS RLL THE CAPITAL Weather Makes Outdoor Pm> tures Possible--Many Governors of* States and Other Notables on Hand to Honor the Event. ' Washington, March 4.-- Brlgfrt weather, with a cold, blustering March Wind, marked the opening of inauguration day. The inaugural ceremonies were the shortest in history, and bat few inaugurals have been more simple. Before a standing crowd of thousands, which completely filled the broad plaza and eddied for blocks around the capitol Itself, the new President accepted the supreme gift «f the republic In a short inaugural address--an address in which he did not attempt to outline In other than general terms the program of inters national and domestic problems to be fllHowed by his administration. Day Clear and Cold. Inauguration day dawned clear and cold. The temperature was not faf from freezing, and there was a stiff breete whipping the flags that decorated Pennsylvania avenue and the .. government buildings. In other days crowds moved restlessly up and down the street all night long and dawn found many of them camping sleepily In points of vantage •long historic Pennsylvania avenue to •tew the great cavalcade of dignitaries. This morning a machine gun could have swept the length and breadth of thi avenue with but flew Otpnaltiee. No Pomp or Ceremony. . There was something coldly an<Tdistinctly businesslike about today's in* augural. Gone were the pomp and * panoply and display of other years with their" extravagant decorations crashing bands, marching military, and horse-drawn carriages of state proudly bearing silk-hatted and frockcoated dignitaries in great parade. In their stead came today the swift motor car, little music and an apparent desire to get things over with In the shortest possible time and settle down to the momentous labors that confront the new administration. Today's events began to march with swift 'efficiency shortly after 10 o'clock, when half a docen automobiles <bew smartly up before the Wlllard hotel. They formed'the entire parade of the Harding ^inaugural. Only the first four cars were really in it, the Others being occupied by secret service men and reporters. Here all the members of the inaugural party were gleked up with the exception of the resident and Mrs. Wilson. Committee Meets Harding. , . Shortly after 11 o'clock a half-dozen motors drew up in front of the United States capitol, threading their way through the throngs which had gathered there, and the members of the . congressional committee appointed to conduct the inauguration clambered In •lid whirled downtown. Headed by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, the congressional committee went to the hotel room where Mr. Harding had spent the morning at work. The committee with due formality announced that they had arr. Jived to conduct the President-elect to the capitol to be Inaugurated, and the former Senator, with absolute lack at formality, addressed them familiarly, folded a small manuscript into 5 his pocket and joined the committee. 5*; A great crowd assembled before the ^ - fcotel cheered as the new executive apade his way *o a powerful motor , and was whirled away to his future home--the White House. As the cars drew up before the White House gates, the police on duty there saluted their new "boss," and he i, ^ 'i'Bved his hand at them. ' - , Greets President Wllaen. s At the White House doors the congressional committee was m^ by the chief usher and shown into the east room, where President Wilson was seated. After an exchange of greetings the outgoing President rose, and while attendants wrapped him carefelly in a cape, made his way to the car where his successor awaited him. /President Wilson and President- «lect Harding then drove together - down Pennsylvania avenue, through a lane which police and secret service •en had swept clear. Both the re- ^ , tiring and the incoming Presidents ) acknowledged the wild applause of throngs. Arrive at Capitol. Arriving at the capitol the party made their way to the senate floor. I n^resldent Wilson went to the Presi- OATH OF OFFICE SHORT AND SIMPLE Waehlngton, March 4.--The oath of office of President as administered today by the chief justice of the United States, Edward Douolaee White, follows: "I, Warren Gamaliel Harding, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States And will, to the beet of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the t Constitution ef the United * State*."" dent's room, Just off the senate chamber, where he seated himself at a desk and began the signature of bflU passed in the closing minutes of congress. » A few minutes before the hands of the senate clock turned to twelve the President-elect and the Vice-Presidentelect went into the senate chamber. There Mr. Harding was greeted by his old friends and some of his old political enemies, and he was apparently at complete ease, for he felt at home there--it was the scene of his first big public service. Vice President Takes Oath. Vice President Marshall called for order. Twitching his gray mustache he made a characteristically brief speech, thanking the senators for the courtesies they had shown him and then called Calvin Coolidge to be sworn In as Vice President. Newlyelected members of the senate were sworn In and the senate was adjourned sine die. With the congressional committee in the lead, President-elect Harding was escorted through the winding marble halls of the capitol to the front %entrance. As the new President made his appearance on the step9 of the Capitol building the crowds gathered tn Capitol park went wild with cheering. Mounts Inaugural Platform. Preceded by Chief Justice White, the President-elect mounted to a small platform which had been erected at the foot of the Capitol steps. With his flowing black robes swishing In the breeze the elderly chief Justice stood erect and, facing the bronzed, stalwart new President, administered the oath of office. The hand of Warren G. Harding was respectfully placed on the Bible, the oath of office given, and the United States had a new chief executive. Delivers Inaugural Address. Halting for a few minutes--perhaps for a silent prayer--President Harding stepped to the front of the platform, placing his manuscrtpt on a little table which has been used by every President since Abraham Lincoln, and delivered his inaugural address. The Inaugural address completed, President Harding, still the object of the throng's admiration, took his seat in his automobile, leaned over and Instructed the chauffeur to "go as fast as the traffic laws will allow" and* was whirled back to the White House. At the White House a little group awaited--a group of those dearest to the President. There was the tall, gray-haired woman that the President affectionately addressed as "the duchess"-- the first lady of the land--and there was an upright standing, bearded old gentleman, the President's father, and his brother and a few other members of his immediate family. They joined In a simple luncheon together. Political Leaders on Hand. Political leaders from all parts of the country were here today for the Inauguration. The veteran of them all was Former Senator Chauncey M. Depew of New York, who has attended every Inauguration since Abraham Lincoln. Among the governors who had arrived were: Albert O. Brown of New Hampshire, Harry L. Davis of Ohio, Thomns E. Campbell of Arizona, Warren T. McCray of Indiana, Channlng H. Cox of Massachusetts, Henry J. Allen of Kansas, Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky and Percival P. Baxter of Maine. Theodore Roosevelt of New York, who will be the assistant secretary of the navy, also had arrived and was the guest last night of Representative and Mrs. Longworth of Ohio. Wilson's Last Night In White Houea. Woodrow Wilson passed his last evening in the White House studying bills and resolutions which had reached him from the capitol during the day. He retired later than. usually. Many messages were received congratulating him on his administration of the nation's affairs and carrying good wishes in his return to private life. The names of those sending the messages were not made public, but it was said that several were from abroad. The President late In the day took his customary automobile ride. He was not accompanied by Mrs. tVilson, who remained behind to superintend the winding up of household affairs. It was on the President's return that President-elect and Mrs. Harding called at the White House. mumms TO ; HASTEN WORK Asks Leaders at Sunday Parley ^ Congress Sesskpw ; This Month. ? MAY SEND CALL FOR MAR. 14 J. A. BAFWRR Conference Was First In Line With the President's Announced Plan to Maintain Closer Relationship With Congrese. Washington, March 8.--Failure of the army and navy supply bills in the lastt congress and the mass of work confronting the new congress probably will compel President Harding to call the extra session for March 14 Instead of April 4, as planned. This became known following a conference between the President, Senator Lodge and Representative Mondell, Republican floor leaders. The conference ended without dates being fixed. Decision will be made today, when Senator Lodge and Representative Mondell return for a second conference. Senator Lodge said that several dates were discussed. He presented a request by Senator Underwood of Alabama that the session be deferred to permit congressmen to go home for a rest. President Harding, Senator Lodge said, opposed postponing the call beyond April 4 and expressed the .ish It be moved up a week and possibly two. If this Is done the senate mill remain in continuous session, as .eaders agree It will not be able to conclude its present business much before that time. The conference was the first In line with the'President's announced plan to maintain a closer relationship with congress. The President, It was disclosed, strongly urged ratification of the Colombian treaty at the extra session of the senate which convened Saturday. Senator Lodge said the treaty will be laid before the senate today. The President, it was learned, also told Senatfpr Lodge that he Is anxious to have Commercial treaties pendinc with Latin American countries acted upon immediately. Senator Lodge promised that this would be done and the treaties taken up in the order of the President's preference. In executive session Saturday Senator Lodge introduced a resolution referring all treaties on the calendar to the foreign relations committee, of which he Is chairman. This will allow him to bring them out promptly. The tripartite treaty with France Is among these documents, Senator Lodge said, though the Versatile? pact is in the archives of the State Department. The French treaty was not taken up at the White House conference, and It Is extremely doubtful if any attention will be given to It before the special session begins, tl«e senator said. » While the army and navy bills are being redrafted In committee It Is Intended to pass the budget mil and to send It to the President, so that the new system can be placed in operation as soon after July as possible. President Wilson vetoed the budget measure as first passed because It contained a provision for » /Miinptroller removable by congress. The house struck out the feature an' sent the bill tl the senate, where it died. Representative Good, chairman of the budget committee, said that this section will be reinserted, as President Harding does not object to It.

Findings of Subcommittee Adopted Unanimously by the Full Committee-- Minority Report Filed. Washington, March 5.--Acceptance by Federal Judge Landls of the position of supreme baseball arbitrator is inconsistent with the fuH and adequate performance ot his duties as judge, and constitutes a serious impropriety on his part; the house Judiciary committee held in recommending full investigation at the next session of congress of impeachment charges made by Representative Welty (Dem). Ohio. ' The report of the subcommittee was adopted unanimously by the full committee, although Chairman Volstead reserved the right to file a minority report. The subcommittee said the charges of Mr. Welty Involved "the legal and moral character of Judge Landis' alleged act In accepting employment as baseball arbitrator at a salary of $42,- 500 a year, and that It had found "that said act of accepting the employment aforesaid, if proved, Is In their opinion, at least, inconsistent with the full and adequate performance of the duty of the said Kenesaw Mountain Landis as a Unil^d States district judge, and that said act would constitute a serious Impropriety on the part of the Judge." The report was signed by Representative Dyer (Rep.) of Missouri as chairman; Representative Husted of New York, Boise of Iowa, Republicans ; and Gard of Ohio and Suumers of Texas, Democrats. Dissenting from the action of the house judiciary committee in*recommending investigation by the next congress of impeachment charges against Federal Judge Landis, Chairman Volstead in a minority report declared postponement tended only to discredit the Judge and weaken him in the administration of justice.

CONGRESS MS MANY CHANGES House and Senate See 128 ;f7H#mbers Retire at Rewit ^ ofl 920 Election. CAPITAL LOSES NOTED FIGURES For First Time In HistSfy Territory Cast of the Mississippi and North of the Ohio RiVer Will Dominate Legislature. •KM- • Washington, March T.--One lMttoihetl and twenty-eight members of the house and senate retted to private life. Most of them went out in the back wash from the tidal wave which swept the Republican party Into full control of all the functions of the government, but some few, Republicans ai well as Democrats, elected not to%un again for their seats. Chpmp Clark one of those who would have retired, whs claimed by death two days before the session ended. A picturesque character among the outgoing members was Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman (Rep.) of Illinois, who did not run for re-election. The actual number of house members quitting was 117, but three of these--McKlnley of Illinois,/ Harreld of Oklahoma (Reps.), and Carraway of Arkansas (Dem.)--go to the other end of the capitol as senators. Mc- Klnley's bouse record was fourteen years. . The political landslide of November 2 gave the Republicans a much larger working majority In the house --too big In the opinion of some leaders. The new extra sesslph expected to be called soon will start wjth 801 Republicans, 132 Democrats and one Socialist. The new senate, which convened Friday in special session to act on nominations by President Harding, contains 59 Republicans and 87 Democrats, giving the Republicans a majority of 22 as against only two majority during most of the last congress, when the lineup generally was 49 Republicans and 47 Democrats. The seating of two Democrats gave the former a slightly larger working margin during the last few weeks. For the second time In history the house will have a woman member, Miss Alice M. Robertson, of the Second Oklahoma district, who succeeds William W. Hastings. For the first time in the history of the house the territory cast of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers will dominate legislation, Republicans from that area being In full control and strong enough to overcome all combinations of Republicans and Democrats from the south and west. Many places formerly held by veterans were captured by men young in years and politics, but some veteran politicians come In, among them Theodore Burton of Ohio, a former senator, and Bourke Cochran of New York.
