A ponderous figure in a flowing black gown, and a black skull cap --that's Mr.

Chief Justice William II. Taft---steps heavily to the center of a white pagoda-looking structure, and with him is the square-faced, block built man who is Mr. Hoover, the new president. Ie is wearing a black coat. Mr.

Taft has a Bible in his hand opened at Proverbs "Whero there is no vision tho people perish; but he that kcepcth the law, happy is he." Mr. Hoover places his left hand on the Bible and raises his right, like a witness being sworn in at a trial. The voice of the big chief justice, who once went through this same ceremony as the principal in a blizzard, comts booming out through th" radio amplifiers to the acres of humanity standing in a drizzling rain. "Do you solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of the president of the unitci States, and will to the best of.your ability preserve, protect and dc- 4 ed from the rain white reading hi: speech, and not at all protected from tho cool drafts from off the Potomac.

Thl anomalous situation, the fiwt of Its kind ever to occur in Jones county, resulted from the resignation of Circut Judge Robert S.

Hall, of Hattiesburg, who quit office to assume his duties as congressman, and the failure of the governor to appoint a special judge. At the time of Judge IJall's resignation, Governor Theodore G. Bilbo wasMn Washington to attend the inaugural ceremonies of Hoov- Announcement of an appointment by acting Governor Bidwell Adam was made several days ago, but'the announcement was contradicted when Adam named Judge Street as special judge, to ierve two weeks while circuit court is In (esion in Laurel. Judge Street was in Jackson Monday engaged in arguing a case before the state supreme court. Even with the appointment of the.

Poplarville attorney to serve as circuit judge in Laurel for two weeks, and his arrival Tuesday morning complications may arise which will cause a legal tangle. It is doubted in some quarters that the' governor or acting governor has the legal authority to appoint a special judge for two weeks. The proper procedure, it ft contended, is governor to call a special election uponjthe resignation ota elrwit judge and then to appoint a'lodge to serve nntil the election.

Police however, are aware of the Identity of the slayer and said he left the camp togcthed with a number of other negroes which departed after the trouble. Descriptions of the gun Uper have been sent to surrounding cities and it is probable that the apprehension of the man sought wiU be at hand within a short time. RESUMES DUTIES Mrs. M.

But somehow it seems that there (Continued to page) am was a severa ays a I should be much more ceremony than this, after all the long months of political tub-thumping, of oratorical labor, and money spending, something at least more wordy, and eje-filling. But that's all! All except the reading to a lis. tcning world of a long speech by tho president proclaiming his policies. All except great parade that ground through the streets of the nation's capital alt afternoon under gray skies that kept flicking off drops of water. A new president, considering the amount of money it costs us to elect him and install him in oficc, seems a mighty valuable piece of property to expose to the pncu- menial vapors of a March day in Washington.

But, with us custom is custom, however antiquated. So Mr. Hoover had to stand out in the white pagoda-looking structure on the east front of the capitol a long timo today, only nartially shelter- Old Jupiter Pluvius seems to lave grudge against inaugura- ion day. He generally spills water all over it. He played no favorites today.

He drenched the new president and Mrs. Hoover until they iad to make a complete change ol clothing'aftcr their outdoor experience, which included a ride in an oien car from the white house to the capitol and back. In the car with the Hoovers on the first journey were the retiring president, Mr. Coolidge, and Mrs. Coolidge, and the little Vermonter who has been the chief executive of the nation for over five years, seemed positively happy.

It was his last official jaunt. His face, usually dead cold, fairly beamed as the car rolled along. He smiled frequently at tho cheering crowds that lined the streets, and waved his hands. His old expression, which is not much expression at all, seemed to have been transferred suddenly to the face of his successor. Mr.

Hoover's eyes gaz- cd at the people with odd solemnity, and he barely made any gesture of response to the cheers. Mrs. Coolidge got a remarkable reception. She was always the warmer personality of the two since she entered the white house with her husband, always apparently closer to the ncopl. Now, ai she rode through the streets ol the city that had been her home perhaps the last time, men am isyiEB a i Fluctuatio irfLower Closing Prices.

A bulge was induced by President Hoover's inaugural ail- Iress, but northwest selling, sales because of an increase in visible stocks and profit taking brought a prompt doing prices were 1 1-4 l-3c off. Corn was strong early, but the break in wheat and selling on unexpectedly large estimates of farm reserves brought a reaction.

From then on, the market largely followed the course of wheat, though in a smaller range, closing 7-8 a Ic Inaugural Ceremony, in Downpour Rain Takes Place CAL STANDS HIS SUCCESSOR Thirtieth Presid Sworn i by President Taft. March Lv dripping sullen heavens, Herbert Hoover today took the oath of oHiec as thirtieth president of the United States, one hand resting leverently upon the old family- lliblc. Immediately, Calvin Coolidge, now a former president, stepped loruard and gave his successor in olfico a hearty hand clasp. The rim, austere features of the retir- president softened as he mut- leied a few words of congratulations, winch did not carry to the uoud. i This simple, but none the less solemn and impressive ceremony took place in the rain-swept, white painted pagoda erected on the east front of the capitol, while a monster croud in the plaza cheered.

The oath was administered by William Howard Taft, chief jus- ticc of the United States, and marked tho first time in history that two former presidents have attended an inauguration. Tho jovial Taft, clad in somber black robes of-the supreme court and wearing a black skull cap, repeated the oath of allegiance to the constitution in a strong voice. The round, boyish face of Mr. Hoover was set in stern, serious lines, as ho uttered ringing, "I uhich carried to the remotest parts of tho world over an international radio hook-up.

Calvin Coolidgc, once more a private citizen, left the capitol and uent direct to the Union station, where he and Coolidge took a train for their old home in Northampton, Massachusetts.
