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

ments, the presidential party will be

Washington, March 3. 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

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.

While the president is on his way
to the capitol the remainder of the

only one to each representative or

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.

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

cers of the army and navy will have
seats reserved for them.

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.

Two separate and distinct power ranges make the Peerless
