 The casket was rested on wheeled carrier to ease its weight over the door sill. It was drawn slowly through the wide door of the East room and placed with read to the east, under the great crystal chande- Her with the portraits of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln looking down upon it.
 President Coolidge and the others of the mourning party passed into the White House with bowed heads. So the new chief executive first en- tered on the scene of the great duties that await him in sorrow for the friend and chieftain who is gone.

WASHINGTON, August 7-Presi- dent Coolidge took short walk be- fore breakfast this morning, accom- panied only by secret service men. He left his temporary White House n the New'Willard hotel, went few blocks along F street and returned by the same route 20 minutes later. Only few pedestrians recognized him.
 There were few names on the Presi- dents engagement list, and 1t was said all of those who had appoint ments would call to pay their re- spects, further conferences on pubic functions being deferred until atter the funeral of President Harding.
 Senator Ledge. majority leader Tn the Senate, spent nearly an hour with President Coolidge, but on leaving said he discussed only the funeral plans, including appointment of the official Senate committe of six mem bers.

 From the legation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, from Ambassador Riano in person and from many others of the diplo- mats who speak for great peoples over seas came still other silent tributes to the dead.
 The great, growing bank of flowers was a mere hint at what the morrow would bring to the capitol rotunda, when the state funeral takes place. But it served to make it sure that President Harding's last hours In the White House would be amid such scenes of quiet beauty as only do honors to the great dead. ..

Two motorcycles were provided the sheriffs department by the board of revenue Tuesday in compliance to a request of Chief Deputy Henry Hill, who stated an immediate warfare would be begun of reckless drivers on the public highways by men assigned to patrol those roads.
 Autoists who make over 30 miles an hour will be subject to arrest on charges of reckless driving, as there is no state law fixing speed limit outside of incorporated towns. MT Hill said.

Peaceful Silence 0verspreads Room Which Has Been The
 Scene Of Many Events

NDy Leased Wlre 10 Ine ASe-heraluD
 WASHINGTON, August 7.-Presi- dent Harding spent his last night in the White House, in the dimly lighted East room filled with the incense of many flowers-and ghosts of a his toric past.
 There was peaceful silence over the spacious, magnificent room. The deep quiet. was broken only occasionally by the clank of a bayonet scabbard, as one of the four guards shifted his position and the untitled, somber tread, echoing and re-echoing, as the guard Of detail was changed.
 The faint light flickered through the night, throwing moving shadows about the room which has seen so much history-the polished glistening floors. the flashing glint of the three ornate chandeliers, the cream colored walls, the quaint colonial chairs and benches about the walls.
 Others Slept In Room,
 In the center the simple coffin, with it's four wreaths of flowers, the silent marines, one at each corner; and stretching away into the shadows tier on tier of flowers.
 Others presidents have slept in this room for . brief time--Harrison, ray Tor, Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley.
 The tall polished mirrors above the mantels on the left and right near the front of the east room reflect only the atmosphere of sadness. A bust of Lincoln sits under one, a bust of Washington under the other. Both, the room, looking down upon the coffin of the last president.
 These mirrors, though, have re- flected all colors of the great human picture which the American republic has painted. The East room appears 1I,, y,1o ja.r frI, at- with the atmosphere of French gaiety which the early Americans trans planted from Paris to their drawing rooms.
 Children Played In Room.
 Children have ffolicked gaily over its polished floors, under the sunlight streaming into it's many windows. Here it was that the Roosevelt chill dren played. Here. too, in the dim mer days the babies of the beautiful Emily Ronelson, niece of Andrew Jackson, took their first steps.
 Balls, concerts, receptions, dances all have been a part of the long his- tory. It was the scene of the happy parties of Dolly Madison, the vivaci- ous center of gay host of beauti- fully dressed women and handsomely attired men. The East room was first furnished by the Madisons.
 Here, too. on a rainy day, Dolly Madison would hang out the White House laundry, opening the great windows.
 It was not many months ago that President Harding was the center of a happy gathering here. Sedately, but happily, he stepped out to waltze with young girl, while Mrs. Harding danced on the arm of Secretary Chris tian, who now supports her in her grief.
 Potentates of the earth have stood about it's walls. Diplomats have been received here

FARM CONDITION.

WASHINGTON. August 7.-"Farm sentiment is mixed, with the south and east in a better frame of mind than the corn belt" the department of agriculture's monthly review says of the agricultural situation. Such agricultural depression as exists is largely due to the disparity of prices of things farmers buy. Tt is not an easy season. The weather has been harassing and labor is scarce The wheat belt is the sore spot. The present corn-hog relationship brings little advantage to farmers as a group since corn Is not sold to the urban community but to other farm CTS. High priced corn in itself adds to the cost of producing animal pro- ducts.
 Prices paid to producers decreased about 1.4 per cent during July. On August l, the index of prices was about 15.5 per cent higher than a year ago, 25.6 per cent higher than two years ago, but 19 per cent low CT than the average of the last ten years on August l."

 The less urgent business of govern ment paused soon after noon to stand idle in mourning until Friday night has passed and the entom bment at Marion is over. Through the shop ping district, the order of closure was revoked when word came that the train would not arrive on sched- ule. But the eryday things of life moved listessly, half heartedly de- spite the throng of government workers who crowded the streets for an hour or two as the departments closed their doors.

 No Change In Plans.
 The delay made no change. in plans for reception of the chieftain, who comes now wrapped in the added dignity of death. It had been certain that many thousands would throng the route at whatever hour he came, borne high in his flag wrapped casket to rest his little hour in the spacious, many widowed east room of the White House The trim ranks of the cavalry. with black draped colors, would be there; the little group of heavy hearted cabinet officers would wait under the long train shed.
 The quiet New Englander who was shaken from his sleep by the hand of destiny to have the hand of high authority thrust upon him, will be there, for President Coolidge has set aside every care the good of the na- tfon will permit, that he may testify his devotion to his dead chief.
 At the White House, the delay gave opportunity for added touches to the setting in the East room where the long journey from San Francisco darkened old floors had been cleared so the slender frame work on which the casket was to He seemed strange ly small and the broad eXpanse un- der the high ceiling. Along the eastern wall, under the windows that look out toward the treasury, there blossomed banked mass of tender flowers. The tributes bore the names of kings and great men in many lands. Among them nestled hand full or two of bright blooms carried to the door by little children.

No closed gates barred the way of the people through the grounds and hundreds strolled by to look in through the partially drawn curtains of the tall windows and see new masses of beauty set in place.

 Through the little group wander ing through the-grounds rolled now and again motor cars that bore the coat of arms or this or that foreign power. They carried usually am bassadors and ministers and the heads of diplomatic missions. Be- hind them came trucks carrying great wreaths or huge clusters of rarest blooms.
