INAUGURATION NOTES
New York Times
Gone are the days when a diplo-i
' matic corps could be counted on to
present an unbroken front of aurif
erous uniforms. The majority of the
diplomats present today were gor-i
geous as usuil,' but several wore
gorgeous frockcoats. One wore
evening dress and one was in a
simple sack suit.
t.
Among the tributes of farewell!
given by Senators to their departing!
colleagues?and the only thing, it
flaky be observed, which seems to
move Senators to applaud is the
kind words they have to say about
?ne another?was one of particular
poignancy. Senator Ransdell of Lou
isana arose to eive the usual expres
sidn of admiration to his associate,
Bdwrd J. G^y, elected in 1918 to fill
out the unexpired term of Senator
Broussard.
"He is leaving," said Senator
Ransdell, "and I am happy to say oh
his own volition."
The sobs of Senators who were
leaving because they had lost in the
last election and who would have
been glad to die in office, could be
distinctly heard through the entire
Chamber.
Miss Alice Robertson, the new wo
man member from Oklahoma, wore
a large bouquet of violets and ?r
childs when she entered the Senate
chamber. She sat beside Representa
tive Schall, the blind member from
Minnesota, and his little daughter.
Miss Robertson unpinned the b >u
- quet and passed it over to little Miss
Schall, who buried her face in it en
thusiastically and then held it up for
her father to smell.
Up to 8 o'clock tonight there were
just twenty-four arrest for drunkerf
ness made today ift Washington?a
striking contrast tVother'inaugural
days. Only a dozen persons were ar
rested in the twenty-four hours end-1
ing this morning at 8 o'clock. Police
here commented that on former in
auguration eyes the station houses
were not large enough to hold thej
senders.

BATHETIC INCIDENTS
MARK INAUGURATION
Flags at Half Mait in Honor of
Champ Clark and Appearance
Of President Wilson Stir Emo
tions of Washington Crowd
Washington, March 4.?The inau
guration of President Harding today
was not without its . pathetic inci
dents. The flags, a which similar
celebrations have flown jauntily and
defiantly in the wind, were at' half
mast in honor of the dead Demo
cratic elader, Champ Clark.
And. there was President Wilson.
His appearance moved vast throngs
to tears. In his infirmity he bore
himself bravely. He insisted that he
limp along unassisted, ' and yet in
mounting steps, it was necessary for
attendants-to lift his feet. Having
reaching the capitol at great peril to
his life, he convinced himself that
he should abandon the remainder of
the prbgram and so instead of enter
ing the senate.and appearing on the
east wing to hear the inaugural ad
dress, he limped away into obscurity
i from which he will be rescued in
time by a grateful people. His-auto
mobile rolled from sight just as the
vast throng; opened its throat to ac
claim the new chief executive. "Le
roi est mort; vive le rol!" rang out
with almost the significance of actu
al verity/
Mr. Harding's address was of that
variety which naturally emanates
from an individual of his training
and inclination. It was an argument
for the prosecution and develop
ment of those principles which - this
republic has proved good, rather
kthan one of inspiration based on the
necessity of progress in meeting the
influence of changed conditions.
Republicans were delighted in that
| he proceeded against the league of^
| nations. Democrats, while refraining
from criticism declared their convic
ton that Mr. Harding, if he ,has his
way jvill initiate an era peace and
quietude, one entirely denuded of
brilliant and spectacular events and
performances, one safe' and sane
rather than one calculated to uplift
end enlighten.
One of the distinct features of
; the day was the address of Thomas
R. Marshall, the retiring vice presi
dent. He ^Yas never happier in the
selectiop ,of a theme nor in the
choice of thpught and language to
express it. At its conclusion the sen
ate sprang to its feet with spontane
ous acclaim, this incident being the
.sole excepton in a splendid though
entirely stereotyped program. The
new vice president, Calvin Coolidge,
appared as a sphomore, beside the
wizard who preceded.
Every one with a Single exception
gave visual proof of the solemnity
of the occasion. Of course, Presi
dent Wilson's appearance cast a dis
tinct and lasting pall. President
Harding's fervent declarations, his
serious demeanor, his afrnost pious
conduct in taking the oath and kiss
ing the Bible accentuated, it and
then there were everywhere the half
masted flags, forever reminding
that in the immediate proximity of
the scene another great man lay
dead. ,
Mrs. Harding appeared to wear
her jubilation on her sleeve. She was
most generous with her bows and
smiles, and her fetching nods moved
the emotional in her environ to re
peated and uproarous applause.
Otherwise the day was orte of tears
and serious mediation rather than of
laughter and joliification. ,
Washington March 4.?Vice Pres
ident Marshall, upon his retirement
from office, said .in part:
"I go, but you remain. I leave
with the same inarticulate cry in my
soul with which I came to you: My
country. It is no new or unusual cry
for the American, but it has I fear,
myriad concepts. To some it means
broad acres and fertile fields-; "to
many opportunity for personal pre'
ferment; to a thoughtless few, the
right to utter every vagrant word 1
which finds lodgment in a mind dis
eased; to the half educated, that de
mocracy should be governed as soon
by the infant's cry as by the pro-i
phe's warning. Bu to me it is but the
composite voice of all the good and
wise and self-sacrificing souls who
trod or tread its soil, .calling for
that liberty which is law encrowned,
preaching that doctrine which seeks
not its own, but the common good
and^above all, warning us by the j
memory of the t^ead and the hope of (
the unborn to close our ears to the
mouthings of every peripatetic re- i
former, who tells ys.that the way to
sanctify the republic is to remove
every landmark which has hithertq
marked the^boundaries of national
and individual life.
^ "It is no new religion we need.
Our creed should be: One Lord, one
faith, one baptism?the Lord of Jus
tice, who was with Washington at
Valley Forge, Grant at Appomattox
Pershing on the fields of France;
the faith that under a republican
form of government alone, democra
cy permanently can endure; the
baptism of that spirit which will not
be content until no man is above the
penalties and no man beyond the
nrnto/vHnn nf rmr laws.
^vvv^v..
"Let him who goes and him who
stays remember that he who saves
his life at the loss of his country's
honor loses it, and who loses his
life for the sake of his country's
fyonor saves it." ,
VICTOR CHESHIRE
DIES IN ANDBRSON
Found Dead in Bed By Wife at
Home
Anderson, March 5.?Victor B.
Cheshire, editor of the Anderson
Daily Tribune, was found dead in
his bed at an early hour this morn
ing. Mr. Cheshire had not been well
for several days, but was not con
sidered seriously ill. His wife called
to him at 6 o'clock to ask how he'
felt. Receiving no answer she hur
riedly went to him and^found that
he had died during the night ap
parently without a struggle.
Although not 40 years of age,
Victor B. Cheshire has had a varied
career. He was educated in a news
paper office, beginning as a small
boy as an apprentice in The People's
Advocate office. He had only been to
school a few years of his life, and
taking this into consideration he was
a remarkable newspaper man. He
wrote fearlessly when he became
editor of his own paper by buying
the Anderson Intellieencer. He was I
a member of the staff -of Cole!
Blease. J
The Intelligencer was bought by
a syndicate and - later went out of
business. Mr. -Cheshire after a short
time being out of newspaper work
started The Tribune, first as a semi
weekly paper and later changed it to
a daily. Mr. Cheshire had indomit
able energy, which made Ms busi
ness' ventures successful.
When only 17 years of age he was
married to Miss Erline Prevost, who
was ojily 15. A runaway match of
a bojj and girl, but they never out
grew the sentiment, and the great
est pleasure in life..to Mr. Cheshire
was to give his wife every comfort
and convenience. She has been, a de
voted wife and helpmate. They have
seven children, six hoys and one girl.
Mr. Cheshire is also survived by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. L.
Cheshire, three borthers and two sis
ters: Robert Cheshire, Charleston;
Herbert Cheshire, Dallas, Texas;
Richard Cheshire, Mrs. J. M. Acker
and Miss Catherine Cheshire, #of
/ *
Anderson.
The funeral will be Sunday after
noon from the home, conducted by
the Rev. Alex N. Brunson, of St.
John's Methodist church anrf inter
ment will be made at Silver Brook
cemetery.
MARION FARMER
TAKES OWN LIFE
Despondency Over Finances Ca.use
of Act?Leader in his Section..
Dillon, March 5.?J. H. Berry, a
farmer living on the Marion road
about five miles from Dillon, com
mitted suicide this morning about 5
o'clock by shooting himself in the
temple with a pistol. It is said that
last night he seemed in very good
spirits and told his family of hav
ing made arrangements for his fer
tilizers for this year. This morning
he was up early and went to the lot,
apparently to look after feeding the
stock. As he did not return to break- i
fast, which was waiting, some one
of the family went to tell him that
breakfast was ready. He was then
found in a small outhouse with a
bullet wound in his head self-in-flict
ed. Last year he lost most of his es
tate by a decree of the court. This fol
lowed by deflation of farm products
is thought to have preyed upon his
mind, causing him to take this method
of ending his troubles.
He is survived by a widow and
seven grown children. His widow be
fore her marriage was Miss David, of
Marion.
1 CONGRESS CLOSES
SESSION OF STORM
Little Flurry A* End Comet Shortly
After Noon?Many Bills Go ^
Dowto Wjth Nominations
Washington, March 4.?The Sixty
sixth congress passed peacefully in
to history toddy with little of the
flurry usually attendant to the hurly
burly of an inauguration. Final
gavels fell in the house at 11:50 o'
clock and in the senate about 12:30
the latter's clock having been moved
backward and thtf former's forward,
hoth to meet exigencies of the inau
gural program. Immediately the new
I senate was called to order by Vice
President Coolidge for the session
requested by President Harding.
The final sessions were virtually
devoid of legislation. The principal
' bills which failed were the army and
navy appropriation budgets and the
"immigration exclusion bill. The ar
my and immigraton measures met a
"pocket veto" by President Wilson,
who failed to sign them, and the na
val bill failed to get through the sen
ate. v
President Wilson, in conformance
'with custom, waited upon congress
in its final hour .in his room off the
senate- chamber, signing a few last
minute measures. Among these weije
the sundry civil appropriation bill
and the Langley bill appropriating
$18,600,000 for hospitalization of
former service men.
Republican leaders plan to draft
substitutes for the army and navy
bills as soon as the extra session is
, convened by President Harding,
probably early in April, and rush]
them through. The immigration re
striction measure also will be one of
the fiM measure considered at theN
extra session.
In addition to the army and immi
gration bills,' Prescient Wilson pock
eted the Mason bill amending the
i war risk insurance act and a private
claim bill.
Little Speech Making
Little spqech making marked to
day's final proceedings and it was a
tame finale in comparison with past
congresses. Wearied by many recent
night sessions, the customary turbu
lence of adjournment was absent in
both senate and house. But there
were many touching incidents. , As
an offset was the welcome given
newly elected members.
Swearing in 32 new senators was
the first business of the new senate
which is expected to continue its
sessions through next week and then
adjourn until the next session of
the Sixty-seventh congress i:> called
Ony one senator-el^ct, Peter Nor
beck of South Dakota, failed to re
spond to his name today. i
x After the ceremonies attendant on
the inauguration of President Har
ding, the new senate again assem
bled, received personally from the
new chief executive his cabinet ap
pointments and confirmed their
nominations. The greatly increased
Republican n>ajority in the new sen
ate compelled rearrangements of
seating. A dozen Republicans were
assignd to seats across the aisles in
the Democratic ection, thereby re
establishing the "olck Cherokee
strip."
Meeting early this morning in
their final sessions, both sen.ite and
house marked time for the inaugural
ceremonies about noon. Last speech
es^ of retiring members and tributes
to them and to senate and house offi
cers mingled with routine business.
In the senate the navy; bill, long
since given up as lost, remained as
unfinished business to the last. In
the house adjournment came after
two hours of speech making on the
record of the boys' ' achievements,
with Republicans and Democrats in
dispute. 4
