THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 4, 1917. f B WILSON WILL TAKE OATH SUNDAY NOON Formal Ceremony for His Sec ond Inaugural in Open Air East of Capitol. WILL DELIVER AN ADDRESS Washington, March 3. Formal ceremonies of inauguration which mark the beginning of the second term of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall will be held at noon Monday in the senate chamber and in the open air at the east front i f the capitol. Precedent for holding inautrur:.: ceremonies on March 5, when March 4 falls on a Sunday, was set as early as 1821 by President Monroe, on the advice of Chief Justice Marshall and was followed by Presidents Taylor and. Hayes. President Wilson's in auguration is the fourth under such circumstances. Only One Flag in Sight. Nothing has been left undone to make the occasion a great demon stration of Americanism. The capital has been decked in American nags and the red, white and blue to the exclu sion of all other colors. The note of patriotism predominates in every ceremony of the day; it is the motive of the inaugural procession, and is the theme of what is expected to be the most elaborate display of night fire works ever seen in this country. At the capitol, where the inaugural stand has been built on the plaza at the east front, a great space has been roped off, where the president's mili tary escort, including the cav.Iry from Fort Myer, the West Point cadets and the entire corps of midshipmen from Annapolis will form a square while Mr. Wilson is delivering his inaugural address. The formal ceremonies are set' by program to begin at the capitol at noon. Ordinarily they seldom have started at that hour because they have been dependent on the end of the ses- sion of congress. Often in the last hour crush and hurry the hands of the clock in the senate or house have been turned back as there was need, so that whatever time it really was, it of ficially was 12 o'clock noon when con Kress ended its session and the in augural ceremonies began b the con vening of the senate of the next con gress in extraordinary session. All this is altered this year became March l tails on Sunday. Program for Procession. Early Monday morning prepara tions will begin at the White Mouse tor the president s procession to the capitol, where first he will attend the inauguration of the vice president in the senate chamber, and then, later, with the whole official party go to the stands on the plaza. The president's escort f cavalry will be assembling in the White House grounds about the time the joint In augural committee of congress arrives to escort the presidential party to the capitol. ihe committee is composed of Senators Overman of North Carolina. Smith of Georgia. Warren of Wyoming, Representatives Rucker ot Missouri, (jarrett ot iennessee and McICinley of Illinois. About 11 o'clock, if the program is carried out according to arrange ments, the presidential party will be ready to leave the White House for the capiiol. The Se onu cavalry troopers will head the procession; then will come tii2 president and Mrs. Wil son, accompanied by Senator Over man and Representative Rucker. Next will be the vice president and Mrs. Marshall, with Senator Smith and Senatcjr Warren. Th" vice president's escort will be the black horse troop from the Culver Military academy.

President Wilson will take the oath of office for his second trem in his room at the capitol at noon Sunday. It will be administered by Chief Justice White of the supreme court. Mr. Wilson plans to go to the capitol shortly before noon to sign bills and there fore decided it would be impracticable to take the. oath of office in the White House, ts was at first contemplated. While no special invitations for the ceremony at the capitol have been issued, members of Mr. Wilson's cabi net will be with him, advising him on bills passed in the closing hour of congress. Mr. Wilson has decided to take the oath again on Monday in front of the capitol just before he delivers his in augural address. , cession. The precedent by which a presidents wite accompanied him was created byMrs. Taft i 1909. At President Wilson's first inauguration the Essex, N. J., troop acted as his escort, ihis time the president de clined all offers and selected a troop ot regular cavalry. Ceremony in the Senate. While the president is on his way to the capitol the remainder of the inaugural party will be assembling there. The capacity of the galleries in the senate chamber is not great and for that reason only two tickets of admission have been issued to each of the senators and senators-elect and only one to each representative or representative-elect These same tick ets entitle the holders to seats on the inaugural stand outside. The reserved gallery on the east side of the Cham ber will bet set aside for invited guests ot the president, vice president, presi dent pro tempore ot the senate, speaker of the house, justices of the supreme court, members of the cabi net and senators. The diplomatic fiallery will be reserved, as usual, for amilies of members of the corps. The doors tor those holding cards of ad mission to the galleries will be opened at 10 o'clock, and an hour later the doors of the senate chamber will be opened to those entitled to seats on the floor. When the president arrives at the capitol he goes to his room and awaits the hour tor beginning the ceremonies. Officials Will Fill Room. Reoresentatives and representatives- elect will assemble in the house cham ber and march over to the senate chamber, entering at the south door. Meanwhile the diplomatic corps, re splendent in full regalia, will be as sembling in the marble room, and when the party is complete, will be announced and escorted to places on the senate, floor. All others entitled to admission to the floor will, mean while, be entering through the bronze door. When all this party has been seat ed, the supreme court will be an nounced and will be followed by re tiring senators and representatives. Members of the cabinet and high offi cers of the army and navy will have seats reserved for them. Then President Wilson will be es corted to the chamber and seated di rectly in front of the vice president's desk.

On the inaugural stand the presi dent will take a seat with the chief justice on his right and the commit tee on arrangements and the srrgeant-at-arms of the senate on his left. For mer presidents, former vice presi dents, associate justices of the su preme court, the vice president, secre tary of the senate, senators and for mer senators will be ranged in lung lines of seats to the right of the pres ident. Just behind them will be seat ed retiring members of the house and members-elect. The diplomatic corps also will be seated to the president's right and to his left will be governors of states and territories, members of the cabinet, and the military party which accompanied the president from the senate chamber. When the president takes the oath at the public ceremony the chief jus tice steps forward, Bible in hand, to administer the oath of office. He re peats, and the president, touching his lips to the Bible, repeats after him, this oath prescribed by the constitu tion: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of presi dent of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, pro tect an defend the constitution of the United States." March to the White House. The next thing on the program is the delivery of the president's ad dress. At its conclusion most of the party except the president and vice president and their escorts return to the capitol, while the president and vice president, with their escorts, head the inaugural procession to the White House. When the procession has reached the court of honor directly in front of the executive mansion it will halt while the president, vice president and their parties take places in the review ing stand. Then the procession will pass along, disbanding a little further on. The steady stream of marchers often requires six and seven hours to pass the reviewing stand. By the time the last of the marchers have passed it is dark and from the great green expanse at the foot of the Washington monument conies the sound of exploding bombs, which gives the signal for a display of fire works. The president and his family generally see this spectacle from the south windows of the executive man sion, while thousands of people, grouped on the sloping mound which rises to the base of the monument, see it as if assembled in a natural amphitheater. It is always past niid night before tle last of it is over. ELKS WOULD SELL AND BUILD ANEW Younger Members Plan to Dis pose of Property On Fif teenth Street.
