ON BOARD HARDING FUNERAL

ON BOARD HARDING FUNERAL
TRAIN, RosEvILLE. CALIFoR-
MIA, Aug. (By The Associated
Press)-The sorrow in the hearts of
the American people over the death
of their leader was exemplified to-
day by silent groups along the rail-
road side as the special train bear
ing the body of Warren G. Harding
traversed western California and the
wide reaches of Nevada.
With barred heads they stood,
sometimes in groups of hundreds,
sometimes only a score and some
times singly. There was none too
poor, none too rich, none too mighty
or none too humble to pay their
mark of respect to the memory of
President Harding. They were con-
scious only of showing their sorrow,
but to those on the funeral train
they typified the American people as
a whole.
1t was the same from early morn
ing on through the day 1t had
been the same since the train left
San Francisco at 7:15 last evening.
1t will be the same throughout the
three thousand mile journey to
Washington and after that the trip
to Marion, Ohio. The nation mourns
as the saddest rans-continental
journey in its history is being made.
Mingled with their sorrow, the
silent bareheaded people felt the
utmost sympathy for the brayely
Calm woman who rides with her
dead in the last car of the train. The
hurriedly passing train gave them
no opportunity to express their
sympathy in words, but Mrs. Hard
ing read it in their faces. 1. gave
her strength in this hour of sorrow
but 1t also was a constant reminder,
even though she needed none, OF
her great loss.
Mrs. Harding continued to bear
up we'll under the strain and was
still as determined as she was on
Thursday evening that she wouldn't
break down. She retired early last
night, temporarily exhausted by the
ordeal of the day.
While she sought sleep the silent
groups marked the passing of the
train. When San Francisco had paid
it's last respect, other towns and
cities along the route took up the
task. Burlipgame, San MaLeo, Red
wood City, Tracy. Stockton. Niles and
others continued the tribute which
began at the Golden Gate. The com
ing of darkness seemed to make nj
difference and thousands stood along
the tracks at Stockton as the trair
crept slowly through the city.
All was quiet on the train during
the night. There was only the click.
ing of the car whels as the trair
sped on. The only movement was
the hourly change in the guard OF
honor beside the fiag-draped coftir
In the last car. Each hour two sold
ters, a sailor and marine made
their way quietly through the trair
to the last car. Soon afterward the
guard they relieved made it's way
back.
