» . GIANT ELMS SHADE THE BURIAL PLOT Harding Family ot Is in Marion Cemetery By The Associated Press. Marion, O., Aug. 4. — The spot in Marion cemetery where President Harding will be buried is one of the most beautiful in the vicinity of the quiet town to which he often times said he hoped "to return as an ‘“or- dinary citizen.” Bituated at almost the exact center of the shady expanse of burial ground, the Harding family plot, where the president will resume his place among the kindly folk he knew and loved as neighbors, lies cupped in a tiny valley. ‘Two giant elms cast deep shadows over slabs of granite which mark the resting place of the president’'s moth- er and his sister, Mary Clarissa, and only a few steps away a gravel road- way winds through an archway of foliage fashioned by the interlocking branches of trees. To the rear, where the tiny depres- sion levels itself out, stretches a quiet vista of gently rolling grassland, dot- ted here and there by a gray tomb- stone, all deepened into sombre tints by the shade of forest trees—a fitting background for the shrine of a dead president, The Harding front porch, the focal point of the'1920 campaign, today presented a sorrowful ¢ontrast to the summer afternoons of three years ago when President Harding, then a can- didate, enuncidted his policies to thousands of pilgrims. All was quiet around the spacious gray structure and the placid reaches of Mt. Vernon avenue, seemed even more tranquil than usual. gave indication that the man who left the home he loved, to accept the greatest honor a country may give, was dead. Dr. George T. Harding, Jr., the president’s brother, and his father, said today they did not know what pllns Mrs. W. G. Harding would make and did not know whether she would return. to Marion and make this city her home, At the Marion Star, news of the president’s death was raceived with sincere sorrow, for it was here that Mr. Harding spent the best years of his_life in the profession he most loved. One of the men in the editorial de- partment said: “Destiny alone never reached out for Warren G. Harding. Destiny in| his case had an ally in a woman—his | wife. band president. She blazed the way. §he had faith in his future. She be- lleved he 'had the making in him of a great man. She urged him on and on. “It was not a mere’handful of poli- | sticlans who nominated him for the presidency. - It was not even the peo- ple who. elected him that really made him president.. These were mere bul- eltin ‘board events in a life that never became embittered. The background of it all was a sweet domestic fiuefice, the gailding star of Warren G. Harding’s destiny.. Mrs. Harding Only a flag at half mast | Mrs. Harding made her hus- | in-| made him president. Tt was her coun- sel and her urge long years before the Chicago convention that made him presidential timber.” Other employes expressed the af- tion all have felt for Mr. Harding. Many persons today recalled the love of Mr. Harding for his mother, When at home he frequently sent her flowers and when away from Mar- fon dlways left an order with the florist to see that she was supplied. | His mother has been dead 12 years. | She always told her frlends that “eome day Warren will be a presi- dent,” but she did not live to see him elevated to the position. Money which paid the tuition and expenses of Warren G. Harding dur- ing the two years he attended Iberia College, Morrow county, near here, was earned by driving a team of horses.. The Toeldo and Ohio Central was building a railroad near his home and Mr. Harding induced his grandfather to loan him one of his teams of horses. Harding drove the team all that summer and earned $160. He was graduated from the college with the degree of Doctor of Arts. Came To Marion Barefooted After graduation, Mr. Harding came to Marion riding a white mule and barefooted. He took up the study of law in the office of J. A. Wolford, working the insurance business as a slde line. But this proved unprofit- able and he forsook the bar to en- gage in the newspaper business, which was more to his liking. The first “real money” the president seld he ever éarned was when he ob- tained the fire insurance on the pres- ent Hotel Marion from Amos Kling | who later hecame his father-in-law. With his § commission he said he | felt himself “rich,” and the first thing he purchased was a “slip horn” and jeined the Marion Silver Cornet band. This “slip horn” is still a possession of the Harding family. Mr. Harding had only one love af- fair and that at the age of 25, with the woman who today is his widow. To his frlends he was always known as “W. G.” but his most inti- mate companions called him “Jerry.” The president was always an ar- dent baseball fan, and up until the time he was nominated for the presir dency liked to wage small bets—al- ways on the Cincinnati Reds. After his nomination when his barber want- ed to lay a wager on the game that day, Mr. Harding said: “The president of this American re- public must never bet on anything. The office of president of the United States is too sacred for that sort of thing.” PERSONALS Members of the Beta Mu sorority who have been vacationing at Indian | Neck for the past two week returned | to their homes today. { Clerk Joseph McGrail of the board of police commissioners and family, will spend the next two weeks at In- dian Neck.

Sinclair of Minneapolis, executive chairman of the World Monetary Association, de- | clared yesterday upon his arrival by the President Roosevelt from a five months survey of the European fi- nancial and economic situation. “The curse of intense nationalism is to be seen all through Europe,” he‘ said. “I visited sixteen countries of | Europe, including Russia. The picture of the conditions I have seen can/ never be erased from my memory. The European economic, financial and industrial machine has broken down.” “France,” he added, "is pursuing a policy which if not checked at the | clection next spring by the French people will spell absolute ruin and | disintegration for all Europe.” Wants U. S, to Call Parley. Mr. Sinclair urged that the United States immediately call a world con- ference on war debts and reparations | and invite every nation of Europe | owing money as a debtor to another | ration, including Germany and Rus- | sia, to attend . | “If Europe is alIo“’(‘d to drift into | chaos,” he said, ‘“we must expect to pay for our folly. It seems to me there is just one wise course open to us and that is to quit our ‘watchful | waiting’ and call the conference.” Carroll « L. Beedy, representative from the First district of Maine, who arrived yesterday by the United States lines steamship President Roosevelt, spent a month in Russia, ‘‘without being steered by soviet agents.” His conclusions are that “America ought not to recognize the Russlan govern- ment, as Russia is too much interest- | ed in a world revolution involving a wholesale conflscation of property to be taken into the international fam- ily’ on equal terms with other na- tions,” and”that “trade relations with Russia should be definitely resumed.” Advocates Trade Agreement “I believe Russia is ready to make fundamental concessions,”. he said, “which will enable us to enter a trade agreement mutually beneficial. Both | England and tlaly have seen the light Each has a trade agreement with Rus- sia, yet neither has recognized the soviet government. Russia wants American goods. She has the furs, platinum, flax and va- rious other commodities with which to pay. America, having passed through a trade depression due to post-war deflation, begins to feel keenly the evil consequences of our diminished foreign trade. T want to see America get a foothold in Rus- slan trade before other foreign na- tions completely dominate the situa- tion."” Mr. Reedy bought two wolves In Russia, which his wife named Lenine and Trotzky. They preceded him here and are now at the Zoological Garden in Washington. H. F. Sinclair, chairman of the board of directors of the Sinclair Con- solidated Oil corporation, who had been in Russia on invitation of the soviet government, returned yesterday by the Cunarder Mauretania deeply impressed, hes said, with the activity of the people.
