cence and that everything went to
show that Mr.. Harding was on the
road to ultimate recovery.
The members of the official party
those who had accompanied the Pres
ident and Mrs. Harding-had no warn
ing that the President was In danger.
They, like the newspaper men. had
been assured that a fatal termination
of the Presidents Illness was a thing
not to be expected, In view Of his ap-
parent improvement--the evident less
ening Of serious symptoms-in the
last 4S hours.
George b. Christian, Jr., secretary
to the President and his devoted
friend. was in Los Angeles with Mrs.
Christian. He lad gone there at the
Presidents solicitation to read at a
Masonic gathering an address which
the President had prepared in the ex-
p~ectation that he would deliver 1t In
person.
The newspaper men had an engage
ment with General Sawyer for 8
o'clock. He was to tell them then
how the President was progressing
toward recovery.
Regarding the n In which Mrs.
Harding sustained the shock. an Off
ciai statement given to the press by
Judson d. welliver of the White
House STAFF. a member Of the Presi-
dents official party, said:
Mrs. Harding, who from the begin
ming OF the Presidents Illness had ex-
pressed complete confidence In his re-
covery. did not break down On the
other hand. she continued, as from
the beginning. the bravest member OF
the group When II was realized that
the President had actually passed
away, she turned to those In the room,
whose concern had turned 70 her, and
said: 4 am NOT going to break down."

MAYOR DEVER RE-AFFIRMS
LAW ENFORCEMENT STAND

In an address to a group OF Chi
cago bankers and business men last
Monday Mayor Dever again declared
his intention to enforce the prohibition
laws to the limit. He again made it
clear that he would not give up the
fight to enforce the laws he has sworn
to uphold Mayor Dever expressed
regret that it was necessary for him
to devote so much of his time to the
enforcement problem. The difficulty
of his task, he explained, is made
greater because some officials are not
willing to do their share. He de-
clared that if all officials would to their
duty and use their powers under the
law the work of prohibition enforce
ment could be easily done. Passing
the buck" from one official to another,
Mayor Devcr declared is the greatest
handicap in the way of law enforce
ment.
