While a hundred and ten million peopie from coast to coast and from the banks of the St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexi- co yesterday stood with bowed heads and paid homuge to the spirit of the departed president, While his body was confined to its last resting place in the family burial plet in Marion, Ohio yesterday, in every village and hamlet, in every city, town and bor- ough in these vast United States yes- térday there was pald his memory a silent tribute, and a silence almost as deep as the grave itself was observed over the country. NEW BRITAN UNITES N PAYING LAST HONORS IN PARK combined bands of the city under the direction of Edward J. Lynch, veteran band leader, opened the services. Judge: Hungerford presided and opened the services by introducing Mayor Paonessa who read his procla- mation as follows: “We meet this afternoon in the spirit of the proclamations of the president of thé United States and the governor of this state, in appointing this day as a day of prayer and mourning for the late Warren Gama- liel Harding, the twenty-ninth pre dent of the United States. “This is a fitting gathering, men, womap and children from all of our city unite for this purpose. On this public park, in the open air, with only the blue heavens above us, we can justly appraise and honor ‘the character ‘of our president that is de- parted, and look towards the future with confidence in the belief that 'good and true men will, undér God, always be the guiding influence in this coun- try. ' THE MAYOR SPEAKS Mayor Paonessa reading his proclamation calling for a day of mourning in New Britain, In New Britain as elsewhere throughout the land the silence was marked by a more intense quiet than on any Sabbath. There was a sus- pension of business for greater than has been seen In this city since the funeral of the late William McKinley. Public service corporations which are almost as perpetual as the revo- lutfon of “the earth around the sun, suspended opérations from one to five minutes. Telephones were silenced for the first time in the memory of many of the operators. Motormen on trolley cars ngh their cars into safety zones and stopped for flve minutes of respectful commemoration for the sec- cnd time since trolley cars have run in the efty. Services at Park At 3 o'clock in the afternoon thous- ands of New Britain people wended their way to Walnut Hill park where services in memory of the late presi- dent were held. Members of Stanley Post, G. A. R., members of L. D. Pen- field camp Sons of Veterans, members of the combined Masonic organiza- tions, 200 stipng, 35 ex-servicemen, firemen, policemen, Elks and other or- ganizations turned out in groups, Men, women and children, veterans of three wars, from tiny tots in go-carts to feeble and aged grandparents, every walk of life represented in the city was represented at the service. Members of Eddy-Glover post Ameri- can Legion, and other ex-servicemen, headed by a color guard carrying the American flag and the post' colors and led by the Legion band, marched up in a body. On the band stand used as a speak: er's platform were potted plants and terns. Judge W. C. Hungerford pre- sided at the service. Others on the platform included Mayor A. M. Pao- nessa, Rev. J. T. Winters, Rev. Henry W. Maier, Charles F. Smith, _Rev. Simon Yonan, Rev, William Ross, Rev. G Pihl, Rev. Dr. Abel Ahl- quist, the Eddy-Glover post color guard and the First Congregational quartet Mayor's Proclamation. “I have urged the observance of these public exercises and the spirit of the day, and I further urge that betweep 5 and 5:05 o'clock this aft- ernoon, when our late president is laid at rest and bells are tolled through- out the city, and traffic ceases, wher- ever we are, we will stand and with bowed heads and hat removed, honor the memory of our departed presi- dent and in these sacred moment that we each renew our determination to give our best in the making of this great country.” A beautiful musical feature followed the mayor’'s address when’ the com- bined bands played the first part of “Leéad Kindly Light,” which was taken up and finished by the quartette of the First Congregational church. Scripture reading by Rev. William Ross was followed by prayer by Rev. Dr. Ahlquist. Rev. Dr. Ahlquists’ Prayer. Almighty and Most Merciful God, our Heavenly Father, to whom all hearts are open and all thoughts are known, cleanse Thou the thoughts of our hearts with the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy excellent name. We than Thee, O Father, for all the generations of men that have come and gone, that have sown and plant- ed, and reaped and replanted, and made for us such harvests of civiliza- tion, and garnered for us such results of culture. We thank Thee that we are living men, born into the world, with capacities for infinite development in this world and in the world to come. We thank Thee that we are not shut up here forever,but having been train- ed and disciplined on earth,Thou open- cst unto us the gates of the second birth and the second life—the life that is everlasting. Thou seest us, O God, as we are met today under the shadow of+ a common sorrow. We thank Thee for those who have assisted us in moral and intellectual development, and this day especially for him, whose re- mains are about to be buried out of our sight. For all his bodily, intel« lectual and spiritual endowments; for “Onward Christian Soldiers” by thethe sincere and honest purpose of his THE G.

This small cross- life; for his kindliness of heart and sympathy toward his fellow-men; for his. public spirit and his conscientious devotion to duty, we thank Thee, O Lord. Now that Thou hast been pleased in Thy Brovidence to take him away, grant us grace to lead such godly and righteous lives that we may be able to carry into fulfillment such plans as seemed his purpose. We beseech Thee to send grace and consolation to the bereaved. ones: Bless his wife. Thou that hast put in the Holy Scriptures so many words for the widow, bless her. Bless him upon whose shoulders have fallen the weighty cares and du- ties of the highest office of our land. Grant him health and prosperity that he may rule after Thy good Weasure and to the maintenance of righteous- ness. < And while we pray for ourselves,we pray also for those who in distant places throughout the length and breadth of our land are lifting unto God their hearts today in solemn worship in memory of him who was our chief and who has departed this life, And now, God, be merciful to us and bless us, and cause the light of Thy countenance to shine unto us, that Thy name may be known upon the earth, Thy baving health among all nations. Thls our prayer we send to Thy throne of mercy in the name of Him, who lived and died for us, Thy son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen. The quartet then sang “Homeland.” Rev. Winters Speaks. Grief over the loss of President Harding and confidence in the admin- istration of President Coolidge were expressed by Rev John T. Winters of 8t. Mary’s church in the first eulogy of the afternoon. Rev. Winters spoke as follows: “New Britain, in this hour of sor- row, is joining with all the people of these United States of America, in try- ing to voice the grief which fills our hearts, over the sudden and untimely death that has taken away from us our beloved president.’” “We feel deply the loss that has fallen upon our country, He was our wresident, the president of the whole people. In life we honored him, loved him in death, we sor- rowfully mourn his loss, and bowing at the insctutable ways of Divine Providence, we humbly repeat the cry of God's people of old at the death of boyhood days and partners of his manhood labors and struggles are laylng' away to rest, the nation's honored dead. And so the -nation is in mourning, but thank God she is not a widow. ‘The King is dead, but long live the King,' other nations have said in their day of bereave- ment, America today says ‘The President is dead, but long live the President.’ “Unlike the days when would-be kings and emperors contended in flerce struggle for a throne, in our day the constitution of the United States has provided a peaceful suc- cession to the office. The peeple have so willed it. President Coolidge is today presiding at the obsequies of his lamented predecessor. Long live the constitution of the United States which makes citizens of us all, whether native or foreign born, and which brings us to our knees today around the bier of President Harding, and from our heart of hearts we fervently utter ‘God grant him eternal repose.’ And looking forward a moment, we cheerfully vow to be just as loyal, just as helpful to his successor, President Coolidge. “And have we not in our stricken hearts today some tender sympathetic sentiment for Mrs. Harding—the dear soul, the life long partner of his bosom, who followed him in his Jjourneys, inspired him in his labore and sustained.him in many a droop- ing moment, who was with him the closest in this. sorrowful journey? By her devotion and sacrifice and perserving courage though her heart was broken, does she not remind us of that other woman, ‘The Mother of Sorrows' whom we call ‘Blessed,’ who stoog by the cross when death, too, was so cruelly taking away her all? “At this moment the nation stands with bowed head at the grave of President Harding, and we his fellow citizens, by our feeble words, though uttered far’away, would place a fragrant flower upon his casket, and, looking up through our tears we strive to say, ‘God’s holy will be done".” C. F. Smith’s Address. Chairman Charles F. Smith of the board of directors of Landers. Frary, & Clark, pointed out the possibilities to all American boys as shown by the life of the late president. Mr. Smith said: “The story of President Harding’s life 1s the typical American story of + liam March. 'THE FIRING SQUAD Sailor members of Eddy-Glover Post, American Legion, fur- nished a firing squad for the services at Walnut Hill park. They were in white uniforms with black armbands as a symbol of mourning.- The squad was in charge of Clifford E. Hellberg and were Harry E. Scheuy, Gustave Winger, Robert Bertini, Raymond E.
