Vests Final Tribute,

By The Associated Press
 On Board Harding Funeral Train at Omaha, Neb., Aug. 6.-The trans Missouri west has paid it's fina tribute to the memory of Warren G Harding, and the east was. given it; first opportunity today as the funeral train bearing his body from sar Francisco to Washington sped stead fly toward the national capitol.
 AS eloquent and silent and inn pressive as were the tributes of the western states traversed, those mani fested by the people eastward from the Missouri river along the railway line to Chicago showed plainly the love and affection of the section of the country for the man who was until last Thursday evening their chief executive.
 creased population of the states traversed today that the groups of persons who have stood mourning along the steel trail since the train left the Golden Gate city appeared in larger numbers and at more frequent intervals. Their manner of tribute was but that of the smaller gather ings seen in the western stretches at every ranch, mining camp, railroad station or center of greater, habilita- tion and the effect of none was lost by the woman who journeyed with the deadein the last car and who still resisted bravely against any outward sign of surrender to her sorrows.
 The route followed today led through the states of Iowa and Illi- nois, beginning at Council Bluffs and continuing through Dennison, Carroll. Boone, Ames, Marshalltown, Cedar Rapids and Clinton, Iowa. and Ster- ling, Dixon and DeKalb, Ill.,, to Chi cago.
 Arrival within the city limits of Chicago was scheduled for 3:30 p. m. (central standard time) and, after a short pause there, the train will speed onward around the tip of Lake Michigan and through Indiana.
 Though it was in the early hours this morning when the funeral train reached Omaha, there were thou sands of persons who had kept watch for it and who like the other gather ings at points passed everywhere since Friday evening when the train drew out of San Francisco, would not permit a time factor to prevent them from making their offering of respect to the dead, and of sympathy to Mrs. 
 In Omaha, as in the other places where stops were made. floral pieces also were offered, thus making it pos sible for those attending to such af- fairs on the train to keep the biet always decorated with fresh flowers
