ON BOARD HARDING FUN
ERAL TRAIN, Roseville, Calf,
August 4. - The sorrow in the
hearts of the American people over
the death of their leader was ex-
emplified today by silent groups
standing along the railroad side as
the special train bearing the body
of President Warren G. Harding
traversed Western California and
the wide reaches of Nevada.
With barred heads they stood,
sometimes in groups of hundreds,
sometimes only in scores and some
times singly. But there were none
too poor, too rich, too mighty nor
too humble to pay their mark of
respect to the memory of the dead
president, They were conscious on
ly of showing their deep sorrow, but
to those on the funeral train they
typified the American people as
whole.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR
WASHINGTON SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, August 4.-As
the Harding funeral train moved
Eastward today President Coolidge
devoted his attention to planning
fitting services here. Preliminary
arrangements, subject to any
changes desired by Mrs. Harding,
call for the removal Of President
Harding's body on arrival here
Tuesday afternoon to the White
House. The remains will remain
in the majestic East room, where
the private service will be held just
before the body is taken to the
capitol for the public service at 10
o'clock. After the services in the
rotunda the body will lay in state
until 6 o'clock Wednesday evening,
at which hour the body will be re-
moved to the train which will carry
it to Marion for burial, probably
Friday. President Coolidge ex-
poets to accompany the funeral
party to Marion.
