from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
even II words had been appropriate,
or had there been time to listen
to them; always it was flowers,
draped eolors, and silent grief for
the man whose proudest boast was
that he came from Main street. I"
The floral offerings that filled
the long black train today came
from donors of every description.
There were the great wreaths from
State governments; ornate compo-
sitions from municipalities; great
clusters OF roses from private gar.
dens; wreaths from posts of the
American Legion; from fraternal or
ders of every kind, and there is
one cluster of simple blue corn
flowers tossed aboard by a woman
in Iowa. There is even a great
fiery cross of golden rod. emblaz-
oned by blue flowers with the sig
nificant initials ''K. K. K"
For Mrs. Harding it has been a
trip ages long. During most Of II
she has yielded to the advice of
friends and physicians and stayed
indoors, seeking to regain the
strength which fled from her that
night on the far west coast when
she realized the President was dead.
Occasionally, however, her taut
nerves have refused to permit her
to lie quietly, and she has arisen,
as she did Monday, to sit for hours
and watch through slightIy-lifted
blinds the reverence of a great ma
ton fit by her window. Occasion
ally, too, she has yielded to a desire
to be near the casket, and she has
sat and talked with the grave service
men who are continually on duty
about the bier.
Her control of herself has been
a source of continual amazement &c
her friends and physicians. and she
approached the Capital today conf
dent of her ability to bear up under
the great ordeal that lies ahead of
her at Washington and at Marion
the next three days.

AS it is, the Coolidge Administra-
ton will be conducted along the
policies laid down by President
Harding for some time to come
The new President has until De-
cember, when Congress convenes, to
map out a legislative campaign and
to record himself upon public ques-
tons. His closest political advisers
are known to have urged him to
take no hasty step in announcing
policies, but to carefully study the
nations needs and suggested RENE
dies before putting himself on rec
ord. And it is indicated the Presi-
dent will do that very thing.
Rumors, meanwhile, swirl back
and forth involving Cabinet changes
In the circles nearest the President
it is said most of the Harding Cabi-
net will eventually resign. 1t Is
absolutely certain, however, there
will be no changes for weeks to
come. The first undoubtedly win
be Attorney General Daugherty
who personally desires to retire, but
his successor will be named only
after a careful study Of eligibles.

Expert witnesses, he said, would
convince the jury that the manner
in which the bullet entered and made
it's exit from Mrs, Kepner's head did
not preclude the possibility OF self
destruction. The position in which
the body was found, he maintained,
was not incompatible to the suicide
theory.
Melancholia, brought on by years
of illness and spiteful tales Of her

More than one witness, he said,
would demonstrate to the Jury that

Kepner had attempted suicide.
On the night before she was

state. Langill leaves this week for
horne on receipt of transportation
money from his brother.
Dollins, who says he is a moving
picture actor and that his stage name
is Kay McGregor, early in October
married pretty Vera Bray, daughter
of S. n. Bray, owner of the Belvi-
dere and other Kansas City hotels.
With his buddy, the red-headed Lang
i'll boy as chauffeur, the pair eloped
in a Cadillac sedan belonging to the
brides father. They were arrested
here on November 7 by City Marshal
r. L. Neil and Deputy Sheriff Billy
Rudd on complaint of Bray.
At the preliminary hearing, both
Dollins and Langill pleaded not
guilty to the charge of stealing the
sedan. Then Gallup, N NJ, banker
appeared and charged that Dollins had
uttered a bad check at his bank. The
next day the boys both pleaded guilty
to stealing the car and were held un-
der the Dyer act for trial in u. S.
court.
The little bride, influenced by her
father and her uncle, w. F. Bray, Ba-
kersfield, Calf, real estate man,
broke with Dollins and went to her
uncle's home, where she is now.
Letters to the sheriff from rela-
tives of the two boys assert this is the
first serious trouble either of them
has ever been in. Both come from
splendid families. Dollin's father, just
before his death, wrote an especially
pathetic letter to the sheriff on be-
half of his son.
1t is reported that Dollins recently
received a letter from his wife, ex-
pressing sorrow for his predicament
and wonder that he had acted as he
did Langill has written to both his
young bride and her father.
