EASTERNERS DRIVE 5000
Miles Idaho PLEASES

Charles c.. Dickerson, of Plymouth
Mass, and Edwin F. Kubal, of Gary
Ind, arrived in Moscow this week
completing 6000-mile journey across
| 16 states. This is the first time that
either of these gentlemen has visited
Idaho or the northwest and they ex-
press a great deal of surprise and
pleasure with the country. Mr.
Dickerson had the following to say
about the country when seen by a
Star-Mirror representative today:
up until last Saturday, Idaho to
me was only state situated in the
northwest, and doubtless uninterest-
ing rolling prairie country. One may
perhaps imagine my surprise upon
entering the state in the vicinity of
Pocatello. The state capitol, too, at
Boise, is quite the incest of any |
have visited Idaho is what [ would
say is the most nearly perfect place
in the United States. 1t combines
all the scenic splendors, crops, or
chards and forests of all the other
states, and for good measure throws
in the most kindly and hospitable
folks to be found anywhere.
"And this only begins to express
it. We came up here to Moscow over
the north and south highway, which
the people of Idaho are to be COM
mended for building. Its cost must
mount up to figures which are
staggering. That Idaho had the
vision to build such road speaks
we'll for their far-sightedness and for
titude. That wonderful eleven-mile
climb out of Lewiston, I am told is
an engineering feat of road building
unequalled in this country, and I can
well believe it.
"It seems to me that Idaho would
do well to emulate the example of
California and dig out the old horn
and toot it for the whole world to
hear Perhaps not quite so blatantly
as does California, but in the plea
SAINT, Golden Rule splendidly hospit-
able manner which thus far l have
found to be an outstanding character
stic of all Idahoans."
Mr.. Kubal is the unchallenged |
horseshoe pitching champion of In
diana, and has given many exhibit
ions enroute. During their stay in |
Moscow they are guests of Charles
w. Bauer, summer student at the
Mr. Bauer is to accom-
Dany them to Butte, Montana, and
through the Yellowstone Park. Mr..
0ickerson is combining business with
pleasure on this trip as he is travel
ng in an effort to locate a desirable
erritory for an eastern thread manu-
acturer.

THOUSANDS GATHER AT PRESI-
DENTS HOME TOWN TO PAY
LAST TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

Marion-(A. PD-Warren G. Hard
ing rejoined today, in the quiet ceme-
terry just over the way from the place
OF his youth and manhood, his dear
ones who had gone before. The
iron gates of the stone vault shut
softly after he had passed within.
He is alone at last with the memories
OF his triumphs and sorrows. Short
" before the funeral train reached
the vault, army trucks had brought
additional floral tributes. AS the
gate of the cemetery was reached,
the distant thud of saluting guns
heralded its coming. Twenty-one
shots, the national salute, were fired
by the Ohio national guard battery,
as the states last tribute to it's dead.
The casket was lifted down from the
hearse, just before o'clock, and was
carried forward to rest in front of
the entrance to the tomb while the
funeral services were held. The tomb
closed on the presidents body at 3:19
o'clock
Long Lines View Body
Marion-(A. PD-Morning's gray
dawn ushering in the day when Pre-
sident Harding will be laid to rest
found thousands standing in line
waiting to pass before his bier. The
line which formed early yesterday,
long before the arrival of his body,
had scarcely ended at l o'clock this
morning, after about 25 thousand per-
sons had viewed his face, until a new
line began to form.
Slow moving throngs crowded the
streets of Marion again today in the
last public honors Warren Harding
will know before the doors of the ivy
grown vault will close upon him. It
seems not alone Ohio, but every sur
rounding state sent legions to pass
beside the bier, or stand silent as
the dead president was carried to
'est. Congested sidewalks thanked
Center street, where the home of his
ather, sheltering his great son once
again, stands behind glowing walls
If flowers. Word came of special
rains sweeping toward Marion from
I'll directions. The streets them
selves in all the region about the
lome, mecca for this silent pilgrim
lge, were curiously blank and still.
)nly here and there, a car on busi-
less for the funeral, moved swiftly,
r troop-laden truck rumbled by
o some new sentry post.

Indemnfties Demanded by Chinese

Peking-(A. P.)-Indemnities for
the capture and Imprisonment of
foreigners by the Suchow train ban
dts last May were demanded Of the
Chinese government in a communica-
ton presented today over the sigma
lures of fifteen foreign ministers.
Although nationals of four foreign
powers, American, Great Britain,
France, and Italy, were victims of
the bandit, other diplomatic repre-
sentatives joined in the memorandum
which endorsed the demands made
separately by various legations at the
time of the brigandage in Honan pro-
vince in 1912

The Friends of the Poor are an
organization OF black mailers who
have preyod on wealthy res dents OF
Chicago. Under threat of death. they
have ordered their victims to place
certain sum demanded in a hole in
a ''grent oak tree in Jasper Lane, u
little street in the Northern suburbs,
Of Sheridan Road. In spite of police
vigilance, the Friends of h poor
have always gotten away with the
money. Those who have refused to
gave up the money have al been
killed-curiously enough, by asphyx-
iation, although their bodies have
been found in the open air.
Robert Forester, an engineer and
member OF a wealthy family. is the
latest one to receive a demand for
money-being told to place $40. 900 in
the tree by Saturday midnight under
