reading OF his full statement and its
comparison with the evidence taken
at the coroner's inquest held Monday
over the slain man. who was Con-
stable NJ. b. AIosher.
1t also was to be compared with
statements of William T.. Mosher a
son of the dead man and one of the
wounded. Mosher was today taken
into court on charge of assault with
a deadly weapon. based on his ad-
mission that he shot at Woerner
when the latter appeared at the raid.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April 27.-
Increased by the addition of 1S names

in the flood here reached 45. The

dren.
Oliver Pinkard, negro.
Mr.. and Mrs Fred Yates.
Property damage was estimated at

PRESIDENT MISSES
ACCIDENT ON OHIO
PLEASURE STEAMER
IRepubIlean a. ?. leased wirel

POINT PLEASANT. Ohio. April
27--President Harding's adventure
a 30 mile voyage up the Ohio river
today to participate in the Tooth
birthday anniversary of General
Grant. narrowly escaped serious dis
aster when part of the third deck of
the steamer Island Queen crashed to
the deck below carrying with it some
200 persons. Only half a minutes
warning by cracking timbers gave a
school children's band and many 9TH
erS on the deck below time to get
from under the crashing deck. Only
three persons were injured.
That the president and Mrs. Hard
ing and other distinguished person
ages in the presidential party We're
not aboard the Island Queen was
due to advices of government in
spectors late last night. They advised
against the president making the trip
on the old pleasure boat because of
her condition. Consequently the
president and his party were assigned
to the Cayuga. a government boat
which led the flotilla of seven steam
ers from Cincinnati bearing between
10000 and $4,000 people.
The injured were:

back probably broken, condition
serious.
Richard Armstrong, Bethel. Ohio,
arm broken.

cinnati police department, cut by

which fell.
A check made by Cincinnati police
tonight showed that more than -
others received slight bruises and
scratches. it was announced at the
police department.
The river flotilla was passing New
Richmond, Ohio. seven miles below
Point Pleasant. The Cayuga with
the president aboard leading the pro-
cession, had cleared the village, New
Richmond citizens, however. did not
know of the change in plans which
put the president aboard the Cayuga.
They began firing rockets as the
Island Queen with its 5000 passen-
gers came abreast. Those on board
crowded to the front to witness the
spectacle ashore. Bands aboard were
playing and everybody was in high
spirits.
Out of clear sky there came the
crashing and grating of timbers un-
der the feet of the 800 on the third
deck. They felt the floor sink. They
stood silent, apparently struck
for half a minute Then came a
deafening crash The entire front
deck dropped. Still there was no
panic.
Those who went down with the
deck remembered the Manchester,
Ohio, school boys band had been
playing Immediately under them.
There were 50 boys and girls. The
one question on all lips was "are the
band boys all kilied?" The question

The world today needs something
OF the spirit Of General Grant, Presi-
dent Harding declared today in an
address at exercises co1nmemorating
the Tooth anniversary of the birth
here of the great military leader
i sometimes wonder, the Presi-
dent said, IF the magnanimity of
Grant, the dogged, persistent, unal-
terable Grant, in warfare-the un-
conditional surrender Grant-wouId
not be helpful in the world today. The
sFeaa struggle, which we might rea-
abb designate the civil war OF
ws@1erii civilization. and in which we
SO creditably and helpfully partici-
pated, left peoples and nations pros
trate, hardly knowing which way to
turn for restoration. / cannot help
but believe that something of the
spirit with which Grant welcomed
victory, something of his eagerness
to return to peaceful ways, would
have speeded the restoration and
FASTENED the return to prosperity and
happiness, without which there can
be no abiding peace"
Mr.. Harding paid tribute to Grant
rs "the military hero of the republic;
a commanding figure in the military
example of magnanilnity of all times;
the most striking example of the
possibilities in American life; the
confident and relentless commander
in war, and the modest and sympa-
thetic petitioner for peace after vic
tory.
1t is 81 years since Grant garland
ed victory with nlagnanimity. 1t is
81 years since he laid down the wear
Ter .autobiographer's pen and made
his one and only surrender. His
fame is secure. The republic has not
forgotten and win not forget.
What of the republic itself? 1t
will not be unseemly to say that
American example and American
conception of justice and liberty since
then have influenced the world little
less significantly than Grants service
to the union shaped the course of our
land
Future Gives Reassurance
A score of new republics have un-
furled their flags and democracy has
opened new avenues of liberty and
made justice more secure. Civiliza-
tion meanwhile has made such ad-
vances that there has seemed a divin-
ity pointing the way. And yet that
very civilization, more advancing
than entrenched, was threatened by
the world war, and in wars after
math established order has been as
saulted and revolution has threatened
throughout the world. In our own
land the enemies within have been
more threatening than those with
