MARION FOLKS WAITING

Marion, Ohio. Aug. Shy A. P)-
Warren Gamaliel Harding is on his
last journey home and Marion,
shrouded in mourning, peacefully
awaits his coming.
Unlike his arrivals and his depart
ures in the distant past when little
notice was taken Of his movements
and also unlike the near past when
they were announced with rejoicing,
tomorrow's arrival will be herald l
by the tolling of the bells.
When the nations funeral train
bearing the late Presid 4nt in its flag
draped coffin crosses the Marion
county line and begins to traverse
the country where he laid the foun-
dation for a character which made
him the nations beloved, Marions
bells will begin to peal. They will
continue to toll at thirty second in
tervals until the body has been set
at rest in the home of his father.
AS soon as the body is placed in the
Harding home, the utmost privacy
will be maintained tha-e for few
hours. 1t will a sacred hour in the
home in East Center street, for there
sits the aged father bowed in grief.
who for seven days will have been
waiting the time, counting the houIs
and the minutes, when he again
might be with his son even though
there can be no spoken greeting, no
returned smile, no gentle hand clasp.
After this silent communion the
doors will be thrown open from to
10 p. NJ. and friends of the dead
President will be permitted to pass
by his bier. They also will be al
lowed to pass again Friday from Q
A. NJ. to l =. NJ. before the body is
removed to the cemetery for brief flu
neral services.
The nation having today held flu
neral services Tor its President in all
stateliness and honor due his exalted
position, Marion, Friday, will conduct
funeral services for its most distin-
guished citizen.
In striking contrast to the services
in the nations capitol today when
state honors were paid, will be the
plain and simple service conducted
here at the vault in the City of the
Dead"
= without pomp or military display
of a single sort, the service at z. NJ,
Central standard time, Will consist
only Of the singing of two hymns by
the choir of Trinity Baptist church
of which Mr.. Harding was member,
the reading of few passages of the
scriptures by Rev. George w. Lands.
pastor of the Trinity Baptist church
and a prayer by Rev. DIR. Jesse
Swank, pastor of Marion Epwortn
Methodist Episcopal church. The
hymns to be sung are: Lead, Kindly
Light" and Nearer. My God to Thee.
With this simple service concluded.
the nations president will have been
laid to rest and as the world moves
on the only indication that another
of the nations chief executives sleeps
in Ohio's bosom will be the military
guard stationed there to see that the
slpee is not disturbed.

New York, Aug. S.-A reverent hush.
broken only by the solemn knell of ca

echo Of distant cannonading, descended
on the nations metropolis for a few
brief minutes today during the funeral
of Warren &. Harding at the capitol.
On the Uronged sidewalks thou

barred and lips moving. Other thou
sands knelt in venerable houses of
worship. Still others ceased their la
bors in gloom-stricken factories and
towering skyscrapers to pay silent
tribute to the dead president.

great ocean liners silenced their Whis-

throughout the greater city, one stood
forth as perhaps unique. 1t was at
