ROME, August 81 The news
paper Messagero said today that
it has been reliably informed that
Greeks refusal to pay indemnity Of
so million lire for Staying the Ital-
ian boundary commissioners and
her request for a modification of
the italian demands regarding the
salutation of the Italian flag are
absolutely unsatisfactory.
Greece accepts four of Italy's
demands with notifications, and re-
jects three of them.
The commandant of the place
where the murders were committed,
it is specified, shall express the
Greek governments sorrow to Sig
nor Montagna, the Italian minister
to Greece. A memorial service
shall be held in the presence of
the members of the Greek govern
ment. On the same day a detach-
men of the guard shall salute the
italian flag at the legation at
Tresveza shall render honors to the
bodies of the victims while they
are being transferred 10 an Italian
warship.
The fourth, fifth and sixth de-
mands are rejected on the ground
that they infringe the sovereignty
and honor Of Greece.
The fourth demand provides foi
the severest inquiry by the Greek
authorities at the scene of the mas.
sacre, at which the Italian military
attache will be present. The fifth
demands capital punishment for al
I the guilty, while the sixth demand
seeks an indemnity Of fifty millior
Italian lire to be paid within five
days from the presentation Of the
note.
The first demand covers apollo

MANN MOTH PYRE
FOR AN OLD SHIP
GLORY OF SEAS ENDS HER
LONG CAREER. IN FLAMES
From WATER TO DECK.

Passengers on steamers plying be-
tween Tacoma and Seattle, Wash, on
Sunday night, May IS, saw red glare
in the sky. From a distance it looked
like a confagration in the district OF
summer homes that extends along the
beach south of Seattle, but as the
boats rounded the point the blaze
came into view-the hull of a disman-
tied ship, wrapped in flames from
deck to water line.
1t was the funeral pyre of the Glory
of the Seas, most famous OF old clip
per ships.
The Glory was built in 1869 at the
yards of Donald Mckay in Boston.
She was a splendid example OF the
almost lost art OF wooden shipbulld-
ings, and her trim lines and 'extraor-
binary speed were known to many
from New York around the Horn to
oceans. 1t was the Glory that sailed
around the Horn to San Francisco in
90 days, a record said never to have
been equaled by a ship of her type.
Her speed and seaworthiness kept
her in commission long after steam
had begun to crowd sails from the
seas, but when she was A years old
the inevitable happened, and the Glory
was taken out OF service and fitted up
as a refrigerator ship, to be towed
humbly after the Alaska salmon fleet.
And presently even that usefulness
was denied her and she lay rotting at
a Tacoma dock
Plan to Save Her Fails.
Finally her owners decided to sal
wage the iron and copper in her hull
and burn her.
A group of Boston shipping men,
hearing of her doom, talked of buy
ing her to keep as relic of the pic
turesque days 81 square riggers and
proof of what the old shipbuilders
could do. But the plan failed and what
was left of the Glory was towed out,
beached and set on fire, startling

self in life to the services OF the peo-
pie of his country, he was given now
in death for brief hour that they
might see him, sleeping so peacefully
in that great casket to which tender
hands had conhded him beside the Tar
Golden Gate week ago.
Through the brief service, slender
womanly figure sat erect and motion
less beside the casket on its high
base of honor. In deepest black and
with a heavy veil hiding her features,
Mrs. Harding faced her public ordeal
or sorrow with stole courage. Never
a break in the firm spirit that has
borne her up through the tragic days

dwelt upon her.

corridor, her hand barely touching the
arm of Secretary Christian, her slen-

And for the first time since he died
with her eyes upon him, far away in
San Francisco, the casket was left by
this strong, loving, loyal wife and
widow to the keeping of the nation
for the little hours until she claims it
again to bear it back to Marion and
its long resting place.
When Mrs. Harding had gone and

aside, and those who knew him in life
saw again the face of Warren Hard
ing.
Face Is Tranquil
1t was a peaceful face, untouched
by the ravages of his brief illness. The
broad brow was tranquil, and save
for the slight pal1or death always
brings, he might have been asleep
there for a moment OF rest, to rouse
again when duty called. 1t hardly
seemed that the spirit could have fed;
that the lids would not lift presently
to show the kindly, thoughtful eyes
beneath There was very little of
death about him and much Of peace
and rest.

Governor Baxter
Regulates Remark
Winthrop Senator

On being shown the statements of
Senator H. E. Wadsworth OF Win
throp. in which he referred to Gov.
Bakers Bar Harbor speech and
said that it was impossible to get
anything done with such person as
the governor" Gov. Baxter said:
IF the people of Maine under
stood the situation, they would be
amused at Senator Wadsworth's
comments. The old time politicians,
the representative of special inter-
ests. the liquor disbursing members
of the lobby, and those who would
break down the direct primary and
thus obtain control of party organ
iZations, certainly did find it impos-
sible to get anything done with such
a person. meaning the governor.
Senator Wadsworth is good
citizen, upright and honest, but he
did not realize what was going on
about him. AS an example of tEis.
recall that he was my guest for
luncheon at the Blaine House on a
given date. and on the same after
noon. he went to the Senate and in
troduced vote of ccnSure against
the governor. l was surprised at
this, but later had good reason to
believe that the vote of censure was
not his creation but was handed him
by one of the members of the lobby,
and that he did not know what he
was reading until he found himself
on his feet. was confirmed in this
belief when few days later, Senator
Wadsworth called at the governors
office and said he was much disturb
cd and did not want me to feel that
he had deliberately one anything
discourteous.
There was no senator more up
right and gentlemanly than he. I
have always considered him a good
friend and often have talked mat
tiers over with him, and was lot
aware that he had any personal feel
ings against me.
Il later shall have something 20
say about Senator Eatons recent
statement about appropriations I'D
