PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS CONCORD, N. C., THURSDAY, FEB i ALL WASHINGTON IN GLAD EXPECTANCY Many Visitors Already Are in Capitol for the Inauguration. Washington, D. (\, Feb. 26.—Outward and visible signs of the near approach of Inauguration Day are already abundant' in Washington. The principal street** are blossoming out -Ms9> banners aud flags, great armies of workmen are put ting the finishing touches to the mammoth reviewing stands, the streets, hotels and other public places are thronged with the early visitors, and the souvenir ven ders ore already reaping a harvest. A decided increase in the number of incoming passengers was noted at the ] Union station several days ago and the I tide of humanity flowing toward the cap ital is gradually swelling. The visit ors are flocking in from the cities and from the country, from all over the land i they are trailing in to see the great quadrennial show. Some of them are old stagers who have witnessed many in augurations. Others are here for the first time. Many df the arrivals are bridal couples. The most of those who are arriving thus early are the experienced ones, who desire to get comfortably settled before the rush begins. They know what it is to reach Washington in the midst of the confusion the day before inaugu ration. when brass bands are playing in the railroad station and in the hotel lob bies, rendering conversation with clerks and baggage men a task, when it is dif ficult to get a taxi and when all of the street cars become “stand-as-you-ride” cars. Up~ to this time the employes at the Union station have had no trouble in handling the crowds and they are confi dent that with the ample facilities pro vided they will be able to take care of everybody comfortably when the rush is ,at its' height. - Like the railroad station, (the hotel lobbies are beginning to take on a holi day look. The clerks in the various 'hostelries are busy all day answering telephone inquiries concerning rates and I possibilities, to securing accommodations. In most of the hotels all the rooms for next week were engaged long ago, but at the same time nearly all of them have arranged to care for an overflow. Many of the visitors already arrived represent the advance guard of the va rious organizations which are coming to tuke part in the inaugural parade. They are here to make.the necessary arrange ments and tell their friends just what to do when they get here next week. Al though the old-time custom of political clubs throughout the country coming to Washington in a body tot attend the in auguration has somewhat died out with in the last decade or two, it still sur vives to some extent and it is expected that the big event next Wednesday will be graced by the presence of good-sized delegations representing well-known po litical organizations of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, Boston and other c ities. While the customs of inauguration day may change with the passing of time, the street fakirs go on forever. There are legions of these gentry already on the I ground and they add a sparkling shnn l mer to the scene as they walk up and down Pennsylvania offering their souve- nirs for sale. > All along the line of the inaugural pa rade the work of preparation is so far ( advanced that it can easily by completed before the first of the week. Monday! and Tuesday will be given over to clean ing up. The electric display on Penn sylvania Avenue and in the grand Corn t of Honor will blaze forth Monday night and for three days the city will be given over to the inaugural crowds. Six of the eight world’s boxing championships are now held by Ameri cans.

He declared, however, wherever the runaways went, he would go too. - * ■ ; The Democratic members of the Indi j ana senate arrived here in a chartered motor bus last night, having quit the In diana legislature because of allaged un \ fair legislation. The charge centered around a bill which they declared would give- the republicans an additional con gressman if passed. As a result of the strike the Indiana senate was unable to pass on bills for want of a quorum. The senate consists of fifty members, thirty-two of which are republicans, and eighteen democrats. Thirty-two constitutes a quorum. ... Work Halted. Indianapolis, Feb. 26.—Absence of 18 Democratic members from the Senate stepped legislative machinery in the up per house of the Indian* general assem bly today.

Indictment un der a state law providing SI,OOO fine for a legislator who absents himself was sug gested, but it was admittedly not a so lution to the problem of getting the min -1 ority members back to their seats.
