The president later signed :he commissions cf his ten official advisees, who will enter tomorrow upon ihair new duties, succeding the men who served Woodrow Wilson. In appearing before the senate in executive session the ne?v chief executive revived a custom inaugurated ? ^ ttr?I_i i. 1 4. _ ,1~ oy ut'orge wasmng vjn l>ui ::i hk-.usc since the day of Thomas Jefferson. He explained that during hb administration he wished to "maintain close and amicable relations" with the legislative branch and for that reason had appeared personally to present iiis cabinet selections. Presentation of the nominations was the first official act^of the incoming presideht and occurred within less than an hour after he had taken the oath of office. He had discussed the question with senate leaders before his inauguration and when he concluded his inaugural address the senate assembled. While a quorum was being obtained Mr. Hardin? waited in his room off ;he senate chamber. During tho wait he came to the door for a minute to smile greetings to newspaper coirespondents in the corridor. He had scarecely reentered the room before the arrival of Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Underwood of Ala bama, the republican and democratic leaders who had been appointed by Vice President Coolidge to Inform the president that the senate was ready to receive communications from him. On Familiar Ground Mr. Harding said he desired to present his message in person and was escorted into the chamber, the doors to which previously had been closed with all spectators and newspaper men excluded. The president was escorted across the familiar Toom where tie served six years before his cau xo the higher office and to a place on the rostrum beside Mr. Coolidge. Facing his former colleagues, the president spoke for perhaps five minutes in happy, cordial vein and then read the nominations from a card which he held in his hand. He asked for early action, in order, he said, that there might be no hiatus in the government's affairs. Starting with Senator A. B. Fail of New Mexico?a courtesy because of 1 ii- - MS senate memoersnip?me senaie went through the list and confirmed all, one by one. No objection was raised, all committees to which the nominations ordinarily would have been referred having been polled in advance. The cabinet officers as confirmed were: Secretary of state, Charles Evans Hughes, New York. Secertary of treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, Pennsylvania. Secretary of war, John W. Weeks, Massachusetts. Secretary of navy, Edwin Denby, Michigan. Secretary of interior, Albert B. Fall, New Mexico. Secretary of agriculture, Henry C. Wallace, Iowa. Secretary of commerce, Herbert Hoover, California.

Washington, March 4.?The reins of presidential authority passed from TTT 1 TTT-1 O. - TIT __ fl 4 w oourow vy lison iu warren vj. naming today in an inaugural ceremony at once the simplest and most dramatic of a generation. The drama centered about the retirement of Woodrow Wilson to private life. Insistent to the last moment: flint, bp wmilH rvarrv out a re tiring president's customary part in the ceremonies, Mr. Wilson finally yielded to the pleadings of relatives and to the warning of his physician that he might endanger his life and only accompanied his successor to" the capitol. As he descended from the Uniio/i nnnfi?n +n ontiir f T 111 IC 11UU0^ yvi WAVV VV ViiW? waiting automobile, secret service men placed his feet on each descending step; when he left the car to enter the capitol he was practically lifted up a short flight of steps by an attendant and although he walked alone with the aid of a cane to the president's room, where he signed bills, h? told Senator Knox, chairman of the congressional inauguration committee, that he was not equal to participating in the ceremony of inaugurating his successor, attending the inaguration of Vice President Coolidge. ' * After a few moment! at the capitol Mr. Wjtopjj went to hi* prfrlfa home to become "Plain Woodraw Wilson now," as he expressed it, and he never even glanced Bt the .White House as he ptUNled 'by oil His #8y.

The inaugural cererrtpnies conforming to Mr. Harding's wishes were kept free from almost every show of the pomp and circumstance that usually surrounds the incoming of a chief ex ecutive. Thousands witnessed the oath and cheered the old and new presidents along Pennsylvania avenue, but the crowd was only a fraction of the customary throng. On the Bible used by George Washington at his first induction into office and on a verse of scripture extolling the virtue of an humble faith in God, Mr. Harding plighted his best ability to the presidency. In his inaugural address he reaffirmed his rev- . erence for the traditions of the United States and reiterated his belief that the supreme task ahead was to bring the country once more to normalcy. * ? On Capitol Stftpc The inaugural ceremony took place as usual on a stand erected above the f east steDS of the capitol. but in mark ed contrast to previous inaugurations when thousands of seats were provided, all the distinguished company had to remain standing. Even the inaugural stand was much smaller than usual, and erected to accommodate a telephonic apparatus which, carried Mr. Harding's voice far out over the capitol plaza and for the first time enabled thousands to hear an inaugural address.
