. HARDING'S BODY 5 HOME AGAIN (Continued from First Page) badges unlees properly vouched for. The business office of the Btar is closed today and will not open again until Saturday merning. Today's edi- tion of the Star carried no comic strips or cartoons. In the yard of the Harding home Rere are several large Buckeye trees. During the 1920. campaign visitors at the front porch carried away many buckeyes as souvenirs. Today reports are reaching Marion from many parts of the United States that these buck- eyes have been planted and the grow- ing trees are called ‘‘Harding Bucy- eyes” in honor of the late president. Services For the Man The elaborate services yesterday were for Warren G. Harding, presi- dent of the United States, the simple gervices here tomorrow will be for Warren G. Harding, citizen, friend, neéighbor—and husband. For two days his friends and neigh- bors will accord the late president the customary funeral rites of the small towns of the middle west and then, with strict simplicity, will accompany Mrs. Harding and the beody to the cemetery where it will be entombed tomorrow afternoon. The only faneral services here will be at the cemetery and they will be extremely brief and simple. Only relatives and intimate friends will make up the party going to the cemetery. Even newspaper men will be excluded. When the funeral train arrives here the coffin will be taken immediately to the home of the dead president's father, Dr. George T. Harding Sr.,, in East Center street. The trip from the station to the father's home will be made in a hearse. Public To Be Admitted At his father’s home the body will lie in private until 2 o’clock this af- ternoon. From then until 10. o'clock the public will be permitted to gaze upon the former Marion newspaper publisher. Again tomorrow from nine until one p. m. the public will have a last opportunity to pass by the bier. At 2 o'clock the funeral procession to the cemetery will form and at 3 o'clock the body of Warren G. Hard- ing will be laid to rest. It will be placed in a receiving vault until a mausoleum can be erected. Only members of the intimate par- ty that made the trip to Alaska with President Harding are aboard the funeral train. President Coolidge, members of the cabinet and other high governmeént officials who as private citizens will attend the funeral services here will arrive tomorrow at 11 a. m. on an- other special train. It was Mrs. Hard- ing’s wish, and her wish is law in her home town. In today's funeral procession from the station to the Harding home, and in the last journey to the cemetery, no civil or other organizations will be in line. Only the family and intimate friends will directly follow the hearse. Mrs. Harding’s desire for a simple private funeral for her husband re- sulted today in the cancellation of plans for Ohio rewspaper publishers —members of the Associated Ohio Dailies, in which Mr. Harding was an | active worker—to march in the pro- cession as a body. 3,000 Troops on Guard Three thousand Ohio National Guard troops today patrolled the streets of Marion keeping back the huge crowds of Ohioans and people from other states who came to pay their last respects. Marion was crowded to overflowing this morning and other countless thousands were blackening the high- ways leading into the city. |ing Marion at six p. m. Friday. NEW. BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1928, Hundreds of Marion residents today opened their homes to care for the many visitors who could not find hotel quarters. Many motorists came prepared with tents and camping out- fits. Business will be at a standstill in Marion today and tomorrow. The whole city plans to give itself up to deep mourning. On some streets near the Harding home, the cemetery and the old home made famous by the front porch campalgn the only acti- vities will ‘be deliveries of milk and ice. Funerals James Dehan, Funeral services for James Dehan .will be held at 8:30 o'clock tomorrow morning at the M, J. Kenney Co. un- dertaking parlors and at 9 o'clock from St. Mary’s church. Interment will be in 8t. Mary's cemetery. CITY ITEMS. Newspaper To Suspend The Marion Star, the newspaper that until recently was owned and published by President Harding, will suspend publication tomorrow, that its employes may attend the funeral. _ All points of interest in connection with the life here of Mr. Harding were being heavily guarded by state troops to safeguardy them from the ravages of souvenir hunters. When they arrive tomorrow Presi- dent Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft and the members of their parties will make their headquarters on board the special train that brought them and that will carry them back to Wash- ington. They will start on the return trip to the national capital immedi- ately following the brief services at the cemetery.

In Memory of Our Late Beloved President WARREN G. HARDING And in Compliance with the L4 request of PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE This Bank Wil Close at 12 o’clock | vetoed BONUS BOOSTERS BESIEGE COOLIDGE Three Legion Envoys Meet Him Right Alter Funeral Washington, D. C.,, Aug. 9.—When the body of President Harding, who the bonus bill, was lying in the rotunda of the capitol the van- guard of the soldier bonus advocates made their first attack on the tem- porary White House in the Willard hotel. Three representatives of the Amer- ican Legion obtained an interview with President Coolidge yesterday afternoon. William Doyle, state com- mander of the Massachusetts Legion, accompanied by the New York and New Jersey state commanders, saw the president after he had returned from the services held for his prede- cessor at the capitol. After leaving the receiving room of the chief executive Mr. Doyle said that service men of the country need have no fear as to what attitude President Coolidge would have on a bonus bill. He was careful, however, not to say that this optimistic intima- tion was based on any assurance that the chief executive gave hini. Mr. Doyle said: “Service men of the country need have no fear about | President Coolidge’s attitude on the bonus. His service to the veterans cannot be questioned. He was the first governor to sign a state bonus bill while chief executive of Dlassa- chusetts.” The statement caused surprise here because the president has, to date, strictly abstained from discussing fu- ture policies. His attitude has been entirely that of a listener to those who have come with advice and counsel on this or that issue. Because of this well known policy of President Coolidge it is not be- lieved that the statement of Mr. Doyle was based on any commitment that President Coolidge has made. The belief is that the legion spokes- men were received as representatives of that large organization and not as bonus advocates. This, it was said here, is more in accord with the pol- icy of the chief executive in dealing with controversial issues. When informed of the statement of Commander Doyle officials of the treasury said the policy of that de- partment would in all probability be what it had been heretofore as' far as the bonus raid is concerned, it be- ing intimated that Secretary Mellon opposed the bonus as an “economic and financial outrage” rather than as a political issue. TRADE SCHOOLS FOR JEWISH CHILDREN Relief Association Tells of Spend- ing Funds Raised in America Throughout Central and Eastern Europe 850,000 Jewish war sufferers were helped to re-establish them- selves by American funds, issued in the form of loans. ‘This is in excess of temporary relief extended previ- ously. With the $2,650,000 appropriated by the American Jewish Joint distri- bution committee for reconstruction purposes in Central and [Eastern Europe, exclusive of Russia, a sys- tem of co-operative credit institu- tions were established in five coun- tries for the benefit of small traders, artisans and other desiring of re- building their homes. According to the last report the combined membership of these credit institutions was 144,895, In addition, the bank established by the committee in Vienna is serving 250,- 000 people, in Bucovina 125,000 peo- ple are served by the credit institu- tions of the American organization, in Constantinople 80,000 have been helped in the same manner. An important item of the recon- struction program was the rebuild- ing of homes destroyed by war and excesses, At the time of the report the committee had aided in rebuild- Ing of 5,042 houses which are serv. ing as living quarters for approxi- mately 30,000 people. One of the greatest problems in the work of reconstruction was the providing of a means of livelihood for the growing generation. For this purpose 47 trade schools teaching various trades to boys and girls were | established. Amounts Bet Shock Members of the House of Commons.
