Washington, Sept 1.-THE life of
Mrs. Harding, wife Of the President,
hangs in the balance. The veil sep
arating life and death is so haZy that
even the attending physicians cauld
not see through it. None could express
a hope. Many expressed a doubt. All
declared that she is as near death as
one possibly can be and still be alive.
As a last resort an operation has
been decided upon. There are uncon-
firmed rumors that it already has been
performed. 1t is to remove the dis

her system and obstructing the func-

At Rutland, VT.

Rutland, Vt, Sept 9.-Lieut. Belvin
w. Maynard, known as "the flying
parson," was killed while flying at the
Rutland fair. Lieut.. Charles Wood
of Ticonderoga, N. Y, and Charles
Monet of New York, a mechanic,
passengers with Maynard, also were
killed. The plane fell from an alti-
tude of 1900 feet. The aviators went
up for a trial spin before taking pas
sengers for flights, as had been their
custom during the week the fair had
been in progress. Lieutenant Mayn-
ard, the pilot, apparently nisjudged
his distance before attempting a tail
spin. The machine refused to recov-
er, and he then attempted to throw
1t into a nose dive. This also failed,
and the plane crashed to the field.

suit has not been announced. It was
stated, however, that her condition
was such that she could not well stand
an anesthetic.
During the days of intense suffering
physicians have been compelled to give
her an opiate. 1t has weakened her
heart so that some extraordinary an
aesthesia must be administered. The
operation is so grave that it was doubt
full if a local anesthetic could be en-
ployed This factor has delayed the
supreme emergency measure~sa far.
President Harding remained at the
bedside until a late hour at night,
after passing much Of the day there,
and it was said that he would forego
all official duties today unless Mrs.
Hardtng's condition took a decided
change for the better.
Secretary Christian stayed at the
Wnrre House until late hour. DR..
George T. Harding, Jr., of Columbus,
Ohio, a brother of President Harding,
was on his way here today, in response
to a summons from the White House.

The present recurrence Of the i'll
ness, described as hydro-nephrosis,
from which Mrs Harding has suffered
at intervals since a surgical operation
nine years ago, was first felt by her
nearly two weeks ago, while on
weekend cruise on the Mayfower
with the President and a party of
friends.
