Next In order will come the supreme court of the United States, headed by Chief Justice Fuller, and then the ambassadors mid ministers plenipotentiary of the foreign nations. Following the heads of the diplomatic corps will come the beads of the exec utive dcparl incuts, who will take their places Immediately back of the seats assigned to the chief figures in the drama. Following the cabinet, the vice presi dent elect will be formally announced nnd will enter, accompanied by his es cortSenator Frye, president pro tem pore of the senate, nnd Representative Young. "The president elect" will be the next announcement, and William II. 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 mid'n'inaln ntnndlm; until the person anuouLcrd Is seated. Mr. Fairbanks' Valedictory. When all the dignitaries have ar rived the vice, president will deliver his' valedictory nnd will then cull to the "rostrum James S. Sherman, to whom be will administer the oath cf the vice president of the United States, nfter which he will declare the senate adjourned without da'. - Having been sworn, Mr. Sherman will ascend the rostrum and, taking the gavel, will call the senate to order for the new session aud will nsk that new members of the keunte come forwnrd and lake the oath of ofllce. Presumably there will lie sixteen new faces in the senate. Each new senator, accompanied by his colleague, will step forwnrd and take the oath. This done, the entire assem blage will proceed to the inaugural stand. The sergeants-nt-arnw of the senate and the house will lead the stately procession. This Is nn Innovation, as heretofore It has been led by the mar shals of the snprciue court mid of the District of Columbia. Those preseut in the senate chamber will fall Into line In the same order in which they en tered the senate, nnd the entire com pany will march to the inaugural stand.. The troops gathered In front of the stand will present arms ns the presi dent and the president elect appear at the main door of the capltol. and when thev have arrived nt the front of the stand Chief Justice Fuller will step forward and administer to Mr. Taft the oath offfiee. following which the new president will deliver his Innu gur.il address, which Is understood to be unusually brief. From the stand the president will descend a flight of steps to his carriage and drive imme diately to the White House, where lie may 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 the president, the president elect nnd the vice president and the vice president elect to the capltol. In view of the close relations of Senator Lodge to the pres ident he will ride In.the carriage with the president aud the president elect, ns will also Senator Knox, who as chairman of the committee on ar rangements Is the personal escort of Hip ixpeutlve. The vice president will have us escort Senator Bacon and Rep resentatives Burke and Gaines, while the vice president elect will be accom panied by Senator Frye, the president pro tempore of the senate, ana nepre sentatlve Young. Heretofore only one senator has accompanied the two chief figures iu the ceremonies. Ball a National Function. Always a pleasing and picturesque feature. It Is proposed to make the in augural hall of 11HKI something more a great national function of supreme interest and significance. It will take tin form of a reception by President Taft and Vice President Sherman to the country at large. Each' state in the Union will be officially represented (ft.thw floor 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 tion who will be Iu attendance. Gist Blair, whose father, Montgom ery Blair, was postmaster general iu the cabinet of President Lincoln, is chairman of the committee In charge of tho Inaugural ball and has so plan ned the event as to bring the entire Union through the forty-six states Jnto direct and active participation In the function. "Washington Is a national city. :i city belonging to the country," Chair man Blair said In discussing the ball arrangements, 'it is our desire that nil who come to the Inauguration and there promises to be the biggest at tendance In the history of these af fairsshould feel that In coming to the national capital they are coming to their own city. "The ball will be essentially and dis tinctively national. A representative from each state has been designated as a member of the inaugural ball committee. These gentlemen will know many of the people who come from their respective states and will s-ee thai they are properly Introduced to Ihe Mntesinen nnd their wives and I'ther distinguished visitors. Thus it is hoped to bring the forty-six stales into close touch with the national cap Hal on this memorable occasion." V 'Virt,..'i..,ry $mm ' SHBKSES5ES55S5NSEE1 cctyt.aMT. mvnow wm..wr,.'
