A chicken dinner was served by stu- dents at Butler university, and before beginning his address Hoover gave out word the men might remove their coats. Before this audience, the chief ex- ecutive defended his course in the economic crisis, assailed “theoretical panaceas” for recovery and gave as- surance that the ‘underlying forces of recovery are asserting themselves.” Leaders Around Him Seated around him on the speakers’ platform were Republican leaders from Indiana, one of the states in which the Democrats made large gains in last November's election. Departing from his prepared address Hoover paid each a personal tribute. The presidential party left Tuesday morning for Marion, O., where later in the day Hoover was to dedicate the memorial erected. to -honor -his~ for= mer chief, the late President Warren G. Harding.

D., June 16.—(?)—Robert Jenkins, six-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Jenkins, Velva, was killed here Monday afternoon when he was struck by a truck when he came out from behind parked automobiles in the center of a street. ‘The boy lived only a few minutes after being injured, and expired shortly after his father, who was the first to pick him up, had carried him to a doctor's office.

Warren Harding Praised Former President Lauded by Successors as Ohio Tomb Is Dedicated Marion, -O., June 16.—()—-The tomb of Warren G. Harding was dedicated with formal ceremony to- day as the two men who followed him into the presidency praised him as a leader and a man. Addressing thousands who gathered at the imposing marble monument at the edge of Harding’s home city, President Hoover and Calvin Coolidge depicted him as a notable statesman who guided the United States through its post-war troubles before he met a tragic end. President Hoover who, as secretary of commerce, accompanied Harding on the fatal trip to Alaska in 1923, saw Harding as a man who had “a dim realization that he had ben be- trayed by a few of the men he had trusted” after directing the nation through the turbulent conditions fol- lowing the war. Coolidge, who introduced the presi- dent and accepted the tomb on behalf of the Harding Memoria! declared “It would be difficult to find 1 association, any peace time period of a little over two years in which so much that was beneficial was accomplished as dur-+ ing his administration.” Both speakers emphasized the ac- complishments of the Harding ad- ministration, particularly the Wash- arms limitation conierence. Neither referred to the scandals which struck the Harding cabinet, but the president described his death as being hastened by disillusionment. Brought to Tragic End Coolidge said “before he could see the full fruition of his policies fate brought him to a tragic end.” “The office of president of the United States is the most exacting position in the world,” Coolidge said in introducing President Hoover. “In it are involved the cares, the duties and the ,difficulties of the whole nation and our relations with all other people. The man who occu- pies that place is always entitled to the symapthy and support of all good citizens in the discharge of his duties. With that attitude the country will ever be prepared to meet every peril and rise above every disaster.” Accepting | By Hoover and Coolidge Flasher Lumberman Found Dead in Bed Orin Albrecht, prominent Morton county lumber merchant, was found dead in bed at his home at Flasher at 4 a.m. Tuesday.

Dr. Alexander O. Gettler, city toxt- cologist, found her organs showed traces of a sleeping powder. Death was due to drowning, however, he said, and the drug was only sufficient to cause sleep. _ Stanley E.

Wyman, Mrs. Faithfull’s first husband and Starr's father, as- sented to the revelation. Starr's experience, Mr. Faithfull said, left her mentally and physically impaired, and expensive treatments were necessary to restore her to nor- mal childhood. In consequence, Faithfull went on, he demanded this elderly man reim- burse him for medical expenses. A settlement of $20,000 to $25,000 was made, he said, through Charles F. Rowley, a Boston attorney.
