called for the establishment of a def
mite Alaskan policy. Various plans
were discussed. including q transfer Of
control to the Interior department
from the score or more Of governing
bureaus. President Hardings plans
for 1922 came to naught, but this year
he determined to get first-hand infor-
nation. He was accompanied by Sec
retnry Work of the Interior depart
ment, Secretary Wallace of the Agri-
cultural department and Secretary
Hoover Of the Department of Com
merce all Of whom are Immediately
concerned in the Alaskan situation.
The President left Washington at
the end Of June and journeyed leisure
ly to the Pacific Northwest by special
train, making speeches at st. Louis,
Denver, Helena, Spokane and other
cities. Incidentally he visited two of
the national parks. First he went to
Zion in Utah, the newest Of our ma
tiOnal parks, which Is a many-colored
gorge cut by the Rio Virgin. Next he
visited Yellowstone In Wyoming, Gre
ated in 1872, the first national park in
history and largest and most famous
Of the nineteen parks Of our system.
Here he motored, boated fshed, fed
the bears and had a good time. His
plans also included visit to Yosemite
upon his return trip, but that was
abandoned.
Saw Much Of Alaska.
The President celebrated the Fourth
Of July In the United States and then
started for Alaska on the U. S. trans
port Henderson. His Alaskan trip was
extensive. He went the length Of the
new government railroad and visited
the capital, Juneau. and the principal
cities. He also was shown the best of
the majestic scenery.
On his return trip Mr. Harding
stopped off at Vancouver, creating

A shudder shook his frame, weak
ened by seven days of illness and
worn by a trip of 1900 miles from
Washington to Alaska and return as
far as San Francisco, he collapsed and
it was over. Mrs. Harding only had
time to rush to the door and call ::
Find DR.. Boone and the others,
quick" meaning the physicians. Brig.
Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, personal ply
sician to the president, was in a near
by room, but when he hurried into the
room medical skill was useless.
Mrs. Harding was as brave and
strong after the end as she had been
faithful to the end. Although not
strong and still affected by her ILL
ness of nearly a year ago, she de-
clared she could not break down and
she did not break down in the hour
of her greatest grief.
Interment will be at Marion, the
small city where Warren G. Harding
struggled determinedly forward, first
as newspaper publisher, then as
lieutenant governor, and then as United
States Senator to the highest office
within the gift of the American peo-
pie.
The news of the Presidents death,
the saddest news that telegraph wires
can carry, was flashed as soon as a
statement could be prepared. 1t was
phrased in these words:

versing with members Of his family

due to some brain involvement, prob
ably an apoplexy.
During the day he had been free
from discomfort and there was every
justification for anticipating a prompt
recovery.

WaShingtOn.-Calvin Coolidge took
oath as President of the United States
at Plymouth, VT, at 2 AT a. m. on
Aug. Il.
The new President was sworn in by
his father, who is notary public and
at whose home he was visiting. The
text of the pledge as prescribed by the
constitution was telephoned to him by
the White House.
The new President heard the news
of President Harding's death and his
own elevation to the nations leader
ship from his aged father, who had
risen to take Secretary Christians tel
egram from the messenger who had
brought it by automobile to the Cool
idge home at Plymouth Notch.
He dressed quickly and came down
stairs to meet the newspaper men who
arrived hard on the heels of the mes
senger. A trifle pale, but steady, sol
emn and quiet as always is his wont,
he walked with simple dignity down
the old stairway and into the honey
sitting room where the newspapermen
awaited him. Mrs. Coolidge, in gray,
followed him, weeping.
Stepping to the little round center
table on which stood an oil lamp, the
rooms only illumination, the new
President read Secretary Christians
message. Then slowly and quietly, he
dictated his own statement setting
forth in brief the new executives pol
icy, and directed his secretary, Erwin
Geisser, to make copies of it for the
press

L. Boone, assistant to the Presidents
personal physician. "When l left the
room 1 commented Doesn't he look
splendidY
''Then, all at once. he just went like
that" the commander snapped his
fingers. "Just like that he repeated.
Something just snapped; that's ALL"
The chief executive of the nation
and by virtue of his office and per-
sonality one of the worlds leading
figures, passed away at the time when
his physicians, his family and his peo-
pie thought that medical skill, hope
and prayer, had won the battle against
disease.
The disease had been conquered, the
fire was out, but seven days of silent,
though intense suffering had left their
marks and stroke of apopleXy came
without an instant's warning and be-
fore physicians could be called, men,
bers of his party summoned, or re-
medal measures taken, he passed
from life's stage after having for near
ly two and half years served the
nation and for many more years his
native state of Ohio.
The President had been i'll since
Thursday, July 26 Some crabs which
he ate while aboard the transport
Henderson, just before reaching Van
cOuver, B. c., proved to have been un-
fit for food. This caused an attack
of ptomaine poisoning, which did not
appear at first to be serious.
The President was able to carry out
his program at Vancouver, and the
next day delivered two speeches at
Seattle. The hot weather experienced
there, however, caused recurrence
of the gastrO-intestinal disturbances
and when the President took the train
south, bound for California, it was
recognized that he was a sick man.
He failed to improve during the jour-
ney, and the heat and disturbed sleep
incident to the trip, in fact, weakened
him.
A third official statement, an
nounced that Vice President Calvin
Coolidge, the next man who occupies
the first position in the United States
government, has been notified of Pres
ident Harding's DEATH
The message was signed by Attorney
General Daugherty and Secretaries
Hoover, Wallace and Work. 1t fol-
lows:
The President died at Z 80 p. m.

Iieve Indianapolis Is one club the
Millers can knock off, due to the hard
shedding the Hoosiers have had since
the season opened.
The record Of the local team in its
games with other western clubs has
been nothing to boas of, but the fans
who have stayed with the Millers dur
ing their slips and slides hope for bet
ter things, now that their favorites
get a crack at the ailing Tribesmen.
According to the viewpoint Of the
Tribe players. however, they are not
going to be the easy victims that
western teams figure. They point
to the fact that errors have been re-
sponsible for most of their defeats,
and they predict the presence of Har-
old Janvrin will bolster their defense
and cut down the error hazard. Jan
vrin was due to join the Indians today.
It was thought Pug Cavet would
be the Tribe pitching selection today.
The Mlllers have some hefty left
handed hitters and the right ielo
fence here is short. For that rea-
son It was believed Hendricks would
use a s~outhpaw on the firing line.

NEW YORK. May l5.-The Pitts
bugh Pirates are the best looking of
the clubs which have appeared against
the Champion Giants this year.
The Pirates look to be the outs.and
ing contender for the National League
pennant, and if they can avoid the
pitfalls which wrecked their chances
the last two years. the Giants Will
have no cinch victory In the race.
Player for player. position for posi-
ton, the Pirates are almost as strong
as the Giants. They might he a triAe
less game, perhaps, because they
haven't been called upon t. Use their
courage so much, and they might not
be under leadership as brainy as the
Giants. but they seem 10 have every
thing else about equal.
Reb Russell. who was one Of the
big powers in the resuscitatjon of the
Pirates last year. has been I'm q bad

SEVEN OF TECHS
BEST To COMPETE
IN BIC TOURNEY
Six Manual Entries and One
From Shortridge at East
Side Field Saturday,

Fourteen local high school track
athletes will compete in the State meet
next Saturday at Technical field as
the result Of finishing first or second
in the sectional tourney. a number
of them have a good chance to place
against the best prep performers in
Indiana. Seven of the local stars will
represent Technical and wear the
green and white. six will uphold the
red and white of Manual while Short
ridge will have only one entrant in the
final tourney.
Technical, State champions. viii be
represented by Langlais in the 100
yard and 440-yard dashes. Smith in
the 8S0-yard run, Maxwell and Nehf
in the mile, Gift in the high and low
hurdles. Wilson in the high jump, and
W. Johnson in the broad jump.
Manual will stake its chances Of
victory on Hardin in the 100-yard and
220-yard dashes, Olsen in the A4G-yard
dash. Hoppe in the 8S0-yard run, Nc
AIlister in the low hurdles. Hutton in
the high jump and Floyd in the shot
put.
Shortridge's only entry is Meyers
IN the high jump.
Techs Best Bets
It is rather difficult to dope the
locals chances as there are usually
a number of dark horse athletes
among the various schools who excel
in some one event. Techs pest bets
seem to be Maxwell in the mile and
Cliff in the hurdle events. Both of
these tracksters are among the best
in the State In their respective events.
LangIais probably viii cause some
body plenty of trouble in the quarter
mile event.
Floyd Of Manual looks good for some
points in the shot put. He is above
the average high school weight man.
Hardin Is a splendid sprinter, but the
dashes are usually rather an uncertain
quantity in the high school meets and
include a huge entry list. and he may
or may not place in the State. The
220-yard dash looks TO be his best race.
Hoppe Of Manual stepped out in the
half-mile in the district meet and may
be feeling just right next Saturday.
Upset in Half Mile
The half-mile il the district Quincy
resulted in an upset. Bryan Of Short
ridge. who finished third, has defeated
both Hoppe Of Manual and Smith Of
Tech, who beat him TO the tape last
Saturday. Bryan did not seem in his
usual form.
Everybody that survived the pre-
lminaries in the high jump in the dis
crict meet will get e chance in the
State. as all i've of the entries tied at
9 feet 3 inches. Wilson Of Tech. Hut
ton of Manual and Meyers Of Short
ridge will have TO go much higher than
that in the State to be good for any
points. The local schools do not seem
to have q great deal in the field events
with the exception Of Floyd in the
shot put.
