Declares Grief Caused by| Friends’ Acts Contributed to Sudden Death. SPEAKS AT DEDICATION OF TOMB AT MARION Executive Says Ohioan Gave Life in Efforts to Aid Fellow Men. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staft Correspondent of The Star | MARION, Ohio, June 16.—In an'ad- dress delivered here today at the for-, mal dedication of the tomb of Warren G. Harding, President Hoover described | the twenty-ninth President, in l'hm} cabinet he served, as a man with a| kindly and gentle spirit, who had been | betrayed by a few of the men whom! he trusted and believed to be his de-! voted friends. | Mr. Hoover's tribute to his former! friend and chief was by no means con- | fined to the noble traits and character of the man. He pointed with pride to Mr. Harding’s services to his coun- try, and to the constructive acts of his administration. President Harding's accomplishments while in the White House, Mr. Hoover declared, will be re- corded and gratefully remembered by | his ccuntrymen. H Sees Death Hastened. It was evident from Mr. Hoover’s warm commendation and tribute nthltl there was no doubt in his mind but that President Harding's final realiza- tion that he had been betrayed by some of the men whom he trusted so implicitly was one of the contributing causes of his death. He declared the affects cf this great disillusionment was noticed by those close to Mr. Harding. His soul was seared, and it couid be seen that his mental anxiety and wor- ries were weakening his overstrained robust strength, Mr. Hoover said. The President spoke with deep feel- ing. It was the first time he had publicly talked so intimately regarding ! ‘Warren Harding's sudden death. He was one of the party accompanying the late President cn his fateful trip across the continent and to Alaska. On that journey it was seen by ‘him; and others' in the party, Mr. Hoover sald, that the great strain of the office, coupled with the blow of his terrible | characterized as “a pressing duty which } disillusionment, was telling on him. Audience Impressed. There was no mistaking ths impres- | sion made by Mr. Hoover’s eulogy upon | those assembled with him to take part| in these dedicatory exercises. They were old friends of Warren Harding, most of them his town-folk, whom ' he: bad known in Marjon from his early manhood. Former Senator Joseph Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, one of Mr. Harding's intimates, as president of the Harding Memorial Association, pre- zided during the ceremonies and made the formal presentation of the me- morial tomb, erected by voluntary sub- scriptions of the people. Sitting near the President as he spoke was former President Calvin Coolidge, who formal- ly accepted, on behalf of the public, the memorial tomb. He also paid a tribute to the former President, as did Gov. White of Ohio. Warren Harding was beloved by his townspeople and there was a tre- mendous turnout of the citizenry of Marion and other parts of Ohio for the dedication of this beautiful memorial monument which symbolizes not only the respect of his old friends and neigh- | bors for his memory, but of people throughout the country. President and Mrs. Hoover were accorded a warm greeting during their stay of a few hours in Warren Harding’s home town. There was a specially selected recep- tion committee, headed by former Sen- ator Frelinghuysen, at the station to ‘welcome the presidential party upon its arrival and to serve as an escort to the scene of the dedicatory ceremonies on the outskirts of the town. At the conclusion of the services the President and Mrs. Hoover walked from the speakers’ platform to the tomb. where each placed . With (Continued on Page 4, Column 1.)

FRANK DEBT TALK URGED BY DOUMER Inaugural Message of New President of France Stresses Faith Among Nations. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 16.—Problems hinging upon settlement of the war debt and execution of the peace treaties must be solved by frankness and good faith among the nations, President Doumer £ald in his inaugural message read to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies this afternoon. | “It cannot be denied,” he said, “that the world’s economic depression is com- plicated by those problems. To solve them there must be understanding, frankness and good faith. - “To that work of human salvation | France will bring a contribution of common solidarity, studying and dis- cussing at Geneva, with a necessary prudence, all solutions capable of as- suring the peace of the world.” Peace Called Pressing Duty. Maintenance of peace the message | all peoples have justly imposed upon | thémselves and to which we were the | first to subscribe.” | “Our monetary embarrassment,” the President said in his message, “is due far less to troubles of internal econo- my than to the sufferings of our neigh- bors. We cannot, however, wait until i the ills of others sre solved befcre at- tempting to cure our cwn.” France believes in the League of Na- tions and is willing to unite with other natlons to fight the spread of bolshe- vism, he said. “Our democracy,” he sald, “cannot fcrget the need for understanding in our loyal desire to condemn secret di- plomacy and to act in the full light of the League of Nations. That is for us the surest means of opposing the men- ace of the forces of destruction snd ruin, and preventing upheaval of the old and beneficent civilizations. Discusses Domestic Situation. | “Maintenance of peace accords with | out obligation to assure the life, security | and independence of our fatherland by our own means.” Regarding the situation at home, he pointed out that the French parlia- mentary organs functioned normally under the greatest difficulties and as- | serted that “they will resist even more easily the contagion of political experi- ment going on in practically every civilized country among the complica- | tions of the unemployment crisis.” The message reiterated the classic conception of the role of the French President. “Being obliged to remain outside the strugglies of party ups,” he said, “I shall remain their impartial arbiter.” Inasmuch as the President’s inaugural address was countersigned and approved by the ministers before it was delivered, it was tantamount to a declaration of policy by the Laval government itself.

The final dispositon of the Post ap- peared today to rest on the question of whether Hearst would Incorporate a cash payment as part of his offer of $3,000,000, the same figure submitted by Lawrence. Lawrence proposed to pay $800,000 cash, and the balance of $2,200,000 in 20-year, 5 per cent bonds secured by a first mortgage on the paper. A sinking fund to discharge the bonds would be established in 1937, in which would be placed annually one-fourth of the net earnings of the zgper should they equal or exceed $200,000 for the next preceding year.

CHICAGO, June 16 (#).—“Scarface Al” Capone pleaded guilty today to evasion of income tax laws and con- spiracy to violate the prohibition law. Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson will sentence the gang leader June 30. Capone decided to throw himself on the mercy of the courts rather than fight the three indictments returned against him by the Federal grand jury recently. Two of the indictments charged him with evading income taxes on a 10- year income of $1,038,654.84.

Capone personally said “guilty” to each of the three indictments and three minutes after the hearing had started, he left under heavy police guard. A new attorney took a leading in inducing the gang chief to admit guilt, it 15, understood. Judge Wilkerson formally ordered Tony Volpe, bodyguard for “Scarface Al” ‘Capone and No. 3 on the list of “public enemies,” turned over to im- migration officials for deportation to Italy. He granted a stay of execu- tion pending an appeal. Entered Country Falsely. The court denied the Government's contention that Volpe should be de- ported because he pleaded gullty to counterfeiting war savings stamps be- cause “the law governing extradition refers only to crimes committed abroad.” It upheld the Government's chargs that Volpe should go because he stated falsely t he was a citizen when re- turning from Cubh after he had lost his papers. George E. Q Johnson, the United States district attorney ‘whose three- year attack brought the indictments, rounded out the Government's offensive at a conference last night. Johnson's first. assistant, Victor E. Larue, was assigned to arraign Capone on the 5000 counts of conspiring to vhlnc:: the liquor laws over a 10-year Dwight H. Green, income tax ex- pert, was in charge of the tax evasion case. ‘The conspiracy charge bears a maxi- mum _two-year sentence and a fine of $10,000. The charge of failing to pay $213,000 in income taxes between 1924 and 1929 carries a maximum penalty of 32 years and $80.000 in fines. Late last night District Attorney John- son strongly denied any concession had been made to Capone to plead guilty. None of the 68 members of his liquor ring indicted with Capone were called for arraignment today. About the Federal Building Police Commissioner Alcock placed an extra detail. Postal inspectors and secret service operatives were also on duty. Elmer L.
