PAGE TEN. de Casper Hatly Crioun MARION SERVICES WILL BE SIMPLE Body of President Harding to Be Taken to Father's Hoine On! Arrival Tomorrow From W ashington; Services at the Cemetery On Friday Will Be Brief MARION, Ohio, Aug. 8.—(By The Associated Press) its recognized leaders, was paying official res, Washington today, the late president’s home f the final simple funeral services here Friday afternoon. severeness will characterize the last rites here. This is th will be no military display, and nothing of the “official” $n Ee Simplicity approaching wish of Mrs. Harding. There about the services here. When the body arrives here about 8 a. m., central time, tomorrow from ‘Washington, it will be taken tmme- diately to the home of Dr. George T. Harding, the president's father, From 2 untnl 10 p. m. tomorrow and again from 9 a m. until 1 p, m. the follow- ing day, Ohioans will be given a last opportunity to view the face of their dead friend and leader. Then on Friday afternoon, with- out military pomp, the body will be borne tenderly from the home to the cemetery, where brief and simple funeral service, conducted by local ministers will be held. First in the funeral procession following the hearse will come members of the Harding family, then the president of the United States, members of the cabinet and other high officials, and then Mr. Harding’s friends and neigh- bora. Everyone-wishing to do so has been invited by direction of Mrs. Harding to take part in the funeral procession. It {s Mrs. Harding’s wish that those who knew her husband best—the folks trom Ohio—shall have e part in the funeral program. Following the brief ceremonies at the cemetery, the body of President Harding will be entombed. The home folks will dis- perse and President Coolidge and his official party, together with Mra. Harding will return to Washington, The only reminder that the body of the president of the Untted States lies entombed in Marion will be the military guard which will be main- tained at the tomb for the customary aix months period. The simple funeral service here promises to be participated in by thousands of Mr. Harding’s friends from all over Ohio. Marion {s full to overflowing today in anticipation of Friday's funeral, end thousands are planning to arrive tomorrow and Friday morning. So great will be the crowd, that state officials have arranged to patrol all roads for miles leading into Marion in an effort to prevent auto- mobfle accidents. Many special trains will bring large delegations of Ohioans, while nearly every city of any size in the state will send special representatives. Among those heaving a preminent place at the funeral services here Friday will be Ohio newspaper pub- Ushers who are members of the Asso: ciated Ohio Dailies, an organization ’m which Mr. Harding, as publisher of the Marion Star, took en active part. The editors will gather at the Marion club early Friday afternoon and go te the Harding home in a doay. All bustness sottyity wil asase in Marion Fridey. Stores and business Places will remain closed throughout the day. The Marion Star, for years owned and published by Mr. Harding and his wife, will suspend publication for the day in order that the employes may take part in the last rites over Mr. Harding’s body. Printers, editors, repertera, aifico employes and newsboys who worked at the Hardings on the Star for years will have a prominent place im the funeral procession. Although there wM be me mifitary pomp in connection with the funeral procession or the funeral services at the cemetery, three thousand Ohio national guard troops will arrive to- Gay to preserve order and direct the heavy traffic. One field hospital company will cere for visitors who may be overcome by the exovmsively hot and sultry weether prevailing here. The vault in which President Mard- ing’s body will be placed will be guaried by state troops until Mon- day. Then for the six months period, a detail of an officer and from 20 to 25 privates of the regular army from Fort Hayes, at Columbus, will stand the death watch, pending construc- tion of @ mausoleum. ~— CASPER MOVIE PUBLIC ASSURED OF TREAT IN “GIRCUS DAYS” FEATURE Many persons who have seen Jackie Coogan in “Circus Days” which is now playing at the America theater have claimed that it ranks among the best of his productions. Maybe it doesn't come up to “Oliver Twist” or Daddy” for pathos, but as ® production in which there are more laughs than sobs it 1s hard to rival among any of the other Coogan films. “Circus Days” ike all of the pre- cocious youngster's pictures will ap- peal to young and old alike, With any other youthful actor it might have fallen into the terribly stale story of the boy who joins the circus, wins out as a performer, and returns to his mother to hand her a roll of thousand-dollar bills, With Jackie Coogan, however, it has avoided this pitfall for this stellar player has in- Jected the necessary humor and per- sonality in it to make it # delightful film regardless of its plot. There is enough stuff in it to make {t as g00d as there ordinary comedies. No picture fan who has either cried or laughed with Jackie should miss this opportunity to see “Circus Days.” The handkerchief may not be used so much but the soft pedal CAPITOL SERVICE IMPRESSIVE -—While the nation, ect to the memory of Warren G. Harding at ciks and neighbors continued their plans for through BODY IN KEEPING OF COUNTRY (Continued from Page One.) in silence. The slow march of the Gead went forward to the catafalque and the casket, with a single great wreath resting on the flag that wrapped it about, was set gently in place while the five sentries, with Srounded muskets and bayonets fixed, took up their watch, a so'dier and a marine at the head, a soldier and a sailor at the foot. Side by side at the head of the casket the aides of the president took thelr positions. Then from the sen- ate corridor Mrs. Harding came in on Secretary Christian's arm and with General Sawyer close beside her. She took her place and about her were grouped the others of the sorrowing family and the close friends of the dead whose official duties did not call them to outer posts in the funeral chamber, There was some deiay as the high officers of the guard of honor found thelr places and as the group of hon- orary pallbearrers, each a noted fig- ure in the nation's life, came tn fol- lowed by the diplomatic corps. The dip'omats were in the formal cere- montal dress, each natfon prescribes for the occasions of state. The scar- let or gray or blue of their state un!- forms lent a new touch of color to the scene. ‘Then came President Coolldge with bowed head. He stepped to his place with eyes misty with sadness. Then came Chief Justice Taft in his black robes and leading his comrades of the supreme court; then the cabinet offi- cers, senators and representatives and General Pershing with his staff. As the confusion of the seating ended and the last scrape of chatr on the stone floor broke the silence, Dr. A. Freeman Anderson, assistant pas- tor of the Calvary Baptist church, where President Harding worsh{pped, stepped forward with raised hands to open the religious services, His words were audible in the inter- twining echoes of the huge chamber hardly a dozen fect away. Only the slow tones of his voice reached the ears of the hundreds grouped about until he began the lord’s prayer. Lip by Up it was taken up and a rever- ent murmur rose to the vaulted roof. Over against the side wall toward the senate, the little group of singers stood beneath the heroic head of Lin- coln, sculptured from hia death mask. Their voices rose softly in the hymn Mr. Harding, like the martyred Mc- Kinley, most loved. “Lead Kindly Light, Amid Encircling Gloom,” they wang and the blending of male voices rose and fell under the high arched roof Ike the tones of an organ, played softly. They sang without accom- Penying instruments. There was a stifled cough here and there as a sob was choked back, As they sang, @ Brem@ goléem shaft of light ewept in from the open east doors to bathe a casket and the mourners about in soft, reflected light, It lighted up the tanned, solemn young faceg of the motionless sentries and brought out the glow- ing keys of the flag that covered the casket, now almost hidden beneath a mass of blooms. Attorney General Deugherty, with head bowed to his hand, shielding his eyes, sat motion- less. Senator Lodge's eyes caught the gleam of highlight that came from & single opening above the row of windows at the base of the dome. He sat looking up at it as the chiming voice died away in a last, long held chord of the hymn. Again Dr. Anderson rated his voice in quiet reading of the scrip- tures—the 23rd Psalm with tts prom- ise and comfort, Revelations, 22nd chapter, first to fifth verses, the fa- vorite passages of the dead president. He read, too, Micah, sixth chapter, eighth verse. It was on this verse that President Harding’s lps fell out beyond there at his inauguration when he kissed the open Bitle as token of the high pledge he gave. “He hath showed thee, O man, what 1s good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." Surely there was prophecy in that moment two years ago. Dr. James chaplain of the house, took his place at the bier to plead in low voiced prayer that men should profit from the example of high service this dead president had given. His words, spoken in the center of the clamber, where many echoes meet and blend, carried only a little way; but many of those about were themselves in silent prayer for the dead. Again the singers voices rose softly in the hymn that has assuaged the grief of men all over the world. “Nearer My God to Theo,” they sang, “B’en though {t be @ cross that raiseth me.” ” Dr. Anderson closed the service, the audience standing, at the benedio- tion, and the simple religious cere- mony that befits the death of a kind- ly, simple, upright gentleman, was over. Mre. Harding was tho fi TOUT PERSONS ineline to full feeling after eat- ‘i to leave will have to be put on the laughter. oo NU-BONE — CORSETS — NU-BONE to women who care; the best and cheapest on the market, For appoint- ment call 178J.

Thus she passed to the elevator reserved for the members of the supreme court and to the car that carried her back to the lonely White House to rest until her departure tonight to take the great dead home to the kind- ly neighbors at Marion. After Mrs. Harding and the mourn ing family the diplomats and judges, secretaries, senators and representa tives, made their way out and there was stir and confusion in the cham- ber they left to be made ready for the public's hours with the dead. The soldiers and marines of the guard of honor came in to lift the casket gent- ly to a new position with the head westward toward the lowering sun. The flag that covered it was drawn Shera Montgomery, y back and the calm face of the dead bared to the eyes of the thousands who stood waiting for long hours for this brief, last glimpse of Warren G. Harding. Chairs were cleared from the cham- ber, flowers of bewildering beauty were added to the banked rows al- ready in place, the lines and sentries were set and the doors opened at last to the waiting multitude. 500 MEN LAID OFF TODAY ON NEW RAILROAD SHERIDAN, Wyo., Aug. 8—Sus- pension of operations for the 1923 season of ahout five hundred men doing light grading work on the North and South railroad, now under construction between Miles @ity, Mont., and Casper, Wyo., was an nounced here today by George M.

MARION, Ohio, Aug. 8.—(By The Associated Press —The late President Harding, when he left Washington | for his Alaska trip, confided to some of his close personal friends that he , believed he would never live to return ito Washington, Brigadier General C. | E.

However, according to. Dr. Sawyer, he failed in this and his con- dition became more weak as the trip progressed. When Mr. Harding de livered his last public address in ‘Seat- tle, members of his party said they thought he would collapse before he finished it. It was during this ad- dress that he was attacked with a dilation of the heart, according to Dr. Sawyer. Members of the presidential party at that time tried to persuade the president to abandon the remaind- er of his engagements, but Mr. Hard- ing aid that he thought he would recover his strength on the trip from Seattle to Sqn Francisco, but his vitality became steadily lower and when the party reached San Fran- cisco, the president was in such a state that it was then decided that Dr. Sawyer told Marion friends that the president realized the seriousness of his condition before the party left Washington but did not make this known, until he was taken sick in San Francisco. The late president's friends also were informed that Mrs. Hurdins was aware at all times of the seriousness of his condition and for that reason was constantly at his dedside during his sickness in San Francisco.
