SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Here
is the record of work performed and
difficulties undergone which wore
down President Harding's physical
condition so that what was believed
at first to be but a mild case of
ptomaine poisoning, developed into
serious illness:
Left Washington. June 20, trav-
eled thirty-nine days.
Covered by train, steamship and
automobile, approximately $500
miles.
Delivered sixty speeches, of which
thirteen were set addresses at night
before large crowds, and represented
careful and laborious preparation be-
forehand. Exposed himself to all
sorts of weather and arduous con-
ditions to address eager crowds from
rear platform of his special train.
Members of the presidential party
declared that the making of some
of these platform speeches because
of conditions encountered was almost
as wearing as the preparation and
delivery of the set addresses.
In SO days, slept only three nights
outside his private car or Off his
ship.
Maintained almost constant touch
with his office in Washington even
while traversing Alaskan waters on
his ship, and transacted much official
business by telegraph, wireless n
the mails.
Omitted his usual daily periods
of exercise and recreation.

late last night from Mrs. Har-
ding stating that pneumonia

that he did not expect to go to
San Francisco as TIE distance
was too far and the trip too
much for a man Of his age.
The doctor eagerly scanned
newspapers and waited with
anxiety for copy" from the
news services telling about his
son.
DR.. Harding's concern epito-
mixed the feeling of Marion
citizens. There was a subdued
air in the streets and a prevail
ing tenseness.

Deep Channel Matter Before
Acknowledging to Be
Held Here Friday Night

Perth Amboy took a stand for
the deepening of the Raritan Bay
channel last night at the meeting
of the aldermen when a letter from
Mayor Wilson, urging that all
support possible be given the project
by this city, was presented accom-
panied with a letter from the war
department containing an adverse
report on the deepening of the
channel. The Mayors letter is as
follows:

According to the letter that ac-
companied the mayors communica-
ton, the board Of engineers of rivers
and harbors opposed the channel
plan stating that the character and
amount of traffic involved did not
appear to justify the large expense of
the improvement at this time.
Agitation on the improvement of
the channel will not cease, however,
with this action as r. z. Watson,
president of the Raritan Terminal
and Waterways Association, has call
ed d meeting of the directors of that
association to be held at the local
city hall on Friday night. At this
time the adverse report of the war
department will be considered.
With the action taken by the ma
yor and board of aldermen last night
which was that the matter be re-
