Inauguration of the Twenty=seventh Preidest It Will Be a More Imposing and Costly Function Than Any of Its Predee^soi a iV^ROM present indications It Is ap- ■4 parent that there will be no H falling off in the Inaugural cel ebration this year. Although he never led a charge of rough riders and has no actual right to sing “Cheer Up, Comrades,” Mr. Taft will be honored by an attendance at the Inaugural cer emonies of as great a military force as that which marched in parade behind President Roosevelt. In keeping with the essentially peaceful and civic char acter of the Incoming president, the In dustrial and civilian feature of the pa rade of next March 4 will be far more extensive and Imposing than ever be fore. The program of the Inaugural period Is divided into five Important features and some others of a lesser degree of Interest—first, the Imposing military division of the pageant, which has been arranged on a big scale by Major General J. Franklin Bell, who is grand marshal; second, the civic organization division of the parade, with Major lift- cf>:nn:l?lee •'f ;»uve s of err.: LVOS'-* ?*1 l ill ■r..\ ’M . ■IT 111? !>; >• . :i! i Vi ’ . f * *. . %*r ii' • a:: 1 m ' i n ! * f »':<• i- 1' \ *• * 4 1 Vi, r«:'M .>:m !

Sailors and Marines. The details of the big military pa rade have been worked out by Briga dier General John A. Johnson, chief of General Bell’s staff, assisted by Major Samuel D.

Here Is the In auguration day program in a nutshell as prepared by them: The morning escort of the president from the White House to the capltol at 10 a. m. by the veteran grand divi sion; the exercises at the capltol on a C tand accommodating 7,000 persons, Dncluding with the administration of the oath of office to the president and his address; the assembly of the mili tary and grand division in the streets south and southeast of the civic grand division In the streets west and north west of the capltol; the afternoon es cort of the president by the military and civic grand divisions from the capltol to the White House at the con clusion of his Inaugural address at •bout 1:20 p. m.; review of the mili tary and civic grand divisions by the president from his stand in the court of honor In front of the White House from about 8 to 6 In the afternoon and the dismissal of the parade; the dis play of fireworks from 7:30 to 9 p. m.

I'n!(owing the eaMret. the v!:*e pp«vi- dem elect will be formally announced and will enter, nccoropanied by his •es- cort—Senator Frye, president pro tem pore of the senate, and Representative Young. “The president elect” will be the next announcement, and William H. Taft, accompanied by Senators Knox and Lodge, will enter, and final ly the president of the United States will enter alone. At each announce ment the entire assemblage will rise of the last session of the Sirfe-'b en gross about 10:3(1 u. m. on Mar h 4 and will thou take a recess so th/t the scenery may be set for the important act in the great drama of the republic so soon to take place. Shortly before noon the vice president will call the senate to order. The secretary of the senate will announce the arrival of the Thomas P. Morgan, chairman of the j speaker and the house of representa- t.nd remain standing until the person announced la seated. Mr. Fairbanks’ Valedictory. When all the dignitaries have <r- rived the vice president will deliwr his valedictory and will then call to the rostrum James S. Sherman, to whom he will administer the oath of the vice president of the United Stat»s, after which he will declare the senste adjourned without day. Having bam sworn, Mr. Sherman will ascend the rostrum and, taking the gavel, will call the senate to order for the new sesslan and will ask that new members of tie senate come forward and take the oath of office. Presumably there will be sixteen new faces in the senate. Each new senator, accompanied by hla colleague, will step forward and take the oath. This done, the entire assem blage will proceed to the inaugural stand. * The sergeants-at-arms of the senate and the house will lead the statelf procession. This is an Innovation, as heretofore it has been led by the maf- shals of the supreme court and of the District of Columbia. Those present in the senate chamber will fall into line In the same order in which they e»- tered the senate, and the entire com pany will march to the inangunl stand. The troops gathered in front of tie stand will present arms as the presi dent and the president elect appear it the main door of the capltol, and whsn they have arrived at the front of tie staud Chief Justice Fuller will st«p forward and administer to Mr. Taft the oath of office, following which tie n. w president will deliver his inau- crnl address, which is understood to be unusually brief. From the stand the president will descend a flight *t steps to his carriage and drive imme- <!lately to the White House, where le r cy snatch a brief luncheon before taking his place In the stand. There will be a slight change this year in the order of the progress of tie ■•.-'sklent, the president elect arid tie vt-e president and the vice presideat elect to the capltol. In view of the close relations of Senator Lodge to the pres- Icout he will ride in the carriage with the president and the presiueut elect, as will also Senator Knox, who as chairman of the committee on ar rangements is the personal escort «f the executive. The vice president will have as escort Senator Bacon and Rep resentatives Burke and Gaiwes. while ti-.e vice president elect will be accom panied by Senator Frye, the presideat jwro tempore of the senate, and Repre- isonfattve Young. Heretofore only one senator has accompanied the two chief figures in the ceremonies. Ball a National Function. Always a pleasing and picturesque future, it is proposed to make the in- ugural ball of 1909 something more— a great national function of supreme Interest and significance. It will take tip* form of a reception by President Tait and Vice President Sherman to : he'country at large. Each state in i be Union will be officially represented on the floof by one of its distinguished sons, whose mission it will be to co operate officially in the presentation of the visitors from here, there and ev erywhere to «the great men of the na- rloTTweb# will be in attendance. Gist Blair, whose father. Montgom ery Blair, was postmaster general in tb“ cabinet of President Lincoln, is chairman of the committee in charge •>f the inaugural ball and has so plan- nd tbe evCnt as to bring the entire i’nlon through the forty-six states Into t.ireot and active participation In the function. “Washington is a national city, a city belonging to the cor.i>*ry.” Chair man Blair said in discussing the ball arrangements. “It is our desire that all who come to the Inauguration—and. there promises to be the biggest at tendance in the history rf those af fairs—should feel that In coming to ! he national capital they are coming to their own city. "The bail will be essentially and dis tinctively national. A representative from each state has been des'gnated as a member of the inaugural ball . committee. These gentlemen will know many of the people who come j from their respective states and will i see that they are properly Introduced | to the statesmen and their wives and 1 other distinguished visitors. Thus it is hoped to bring the forty-six states into close touch with the national cap ital on this memorable occasion.” WEATHER FORECAST Washington, D.
