Capitol Cancels
Inaugural Plans
Continued from L'sse On
this country and of the various states'.
The cost to the public visiting Wash
ington would have been vastly more
than that. The Washington profiteers
had prepared to make up for recent hard
times through the opportunities of in
auguration week.
Hits Profiteers
It was this phase of the situation, ns
much as the public cost, that moved
Mr. Harding to act. HoUls in Wash
ington were charging $250 to -$300 for
the rooms looking out upon the avenue
where the inauguration parade was to
pass. Nominally this charge was for
inauguration week, but rooms would not
be let for lew than a week, and n per
son staying two or three days would
have been charged the full $230 or $300.
The Innugurntlon plans got out of
hand, the appetite of the profiteers was
whetted, an undue amount of publicity
was given to the dazzling and unparal
leled volume which was to be done.
The adjectives that came out of
Woshlngon reminded one of what Tody
Hamilton used to do for Barnum's cir
cus. Plans exceeded the possibilities of
Washington: the inaugural ball was to
be revived, but where? There was no
place to hold it without either moving
n nubile department out of a building
or appropriating the Union Stntiou for
dancing. This last was seriously pro
nosed, although the Union Station Is
iainmed with traffic. This shown how
inauguration ran awny with the in
auguration planners, the extravagant
spirit that followed peace pervading
everything that was on. I'pon this fell
Senator Borah with his hammer, nnd
Mr. Hnrdinc quietly disapproving all
the time felt that he had to act.
Wathlngtrri. Jan. 11. (By A. P.)
Announcement that at the request of
President-elect Harding tho Washing
ton inaugural committee last night had
canceled nil plans for the celcbrn
tion in connection with his inaugura
tion next March was received here with
varying emotions. Those who bad op
posed reviving the custom of making
the occasion a gala one chiefly because
of the expense involved expressed com
mendation. Others, while sympathizing
with the spirit that prompted Mr. Hard
ing's request, showed keen disappoint
ment. The action of the committee in mcctJ
ing the wishes of the President-elect
means that the parade, the inaugural
ball and other features of the program

capital from all parts of the coHntry
will be dispensed with. Weeks of work
by numerous committees will be undone
and approximately $200,000 subscribed
by Uoshinglonlans toward tho inntigu
ration expenses will be returned. What
Longress will do regarding the $C0,000
voted for the cdcctlon of stands nt the
capltol had not been determined today.
As suggested by Mr. Harding, the
Inauguration ceremony, it wns indicated
mdav, will consist simply of the formal
ndmlulstratlon of the oath of office nnd
nn address by tho new President, prob
ably from the Bast steps of the capltol.
Then Mr. Harding will proceed ftifctly
to the hltc House; where, in his own
language, he "will hang up bis hat and
go to work."
Cancellation Ordered
Chairman B. B. McLean, of the local
Inaugural committee, in anounclng can
collation of arrangements for the celo
brntlon, said that from the first Mr.
Harding had desired an unostentatious
ceremony, but had yielded to over
whelming requests for a. return to old
customs nnd to permit the occasion to be
made Into a gala affair In which the
whole nation could participate, if it
desired.
In a telegram to Senator Knox, chair
man of the congressional committee
having in charge arrangements for the
ceremonies at the chpltol, in which he
,.riT.
t . , o
apprised tho senntor.of bis .request to
tno loenl-committee, Mr. uaruing rc
quested that Congress not participate
.nnd the committee not expend any
funds Whatever in connection Willi tnu
inauguration.
House leaders expressed the view to
day that plans for the outdoor Inaugural
ceremony at the Canltol nrobnbly would
be abandoned out of deference to the
wishes of-'Mr. Harding. In the ab
sence, however, of Senator Knox, chair
man of thocongressjonal inaugural' com
mittee, the Question of proceeding Im
mediately with tho erection of stands
capable of seating 10,000 persons was
left in doubt.
Some members of the committee said
that Inasmuch as the appropriation al
ready had been authorized, they saw no
reason why the plan should be changed,
although members generally thought
that the President-elect would take the
oath of office in the House of Repre
sentatives. '
Trueks today were still unloading
lumber nt tho east sldo of the Capltol
building nnd about JiOO carpenters re
ported for duty.
The Joint resolution providing $50,000
for erection of the stands, printing of
tickets nnd police protection was ex
pected to be sent today to President
Wilson.
