CAPITAL AWAITS BODY
OF LATE PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from page u

That SerVlce was given laVlSaly'
SO lavishly that death swept down
with terrible ~suddenness to check
him in full course and turn him back
t. come again to Washington through
the Presidents room, but this time
sleeping in a f~iag-draped casket,
freed forever from the cares of the
great office that Slapped his life away.
Before, when Harding came to
claim the post his countrymen had
given him, cheers and shouting
greeted him as he stepped out under
the arched entrance of the Presi-
dents room to see the wide-f1ung
plaza packed with happy people
waving him friendly acclaim. A
little beyond lowered the gray dome
of the Capitol where he had sat
through contented years as senator,
with flags streaming from the Stats
on senate and house wings. Off to
the west, beyond the crowding build
ings, was the White House, the door
tn the great labors he was to know.
Today he was awaited by a plaza
crowded with people who stood long
hours to do him silent honor: by
| flags dropping at half mast from
the triple stats that front the great
building and from the roof of the
silent Capitol beyond. He comes
to honors prepared for him such as
only dead presidents may know and
to a night of peace and utter rest
at last in the dim, stately setting OF
the east room of the White House.
Before the train came, the cavalry
escort had clattered in from Fort
| HH... A. fo..a If,a oNPnec fhn p1aUo
at the station and wait on restless
mounts until the casket was deliver
ed into keeping of the army COM
rades of the dead Commander in
Chief to be carried to the White
House as fallen soldiers are carried.
Within the station President
Coolidge and the cabinet members
had been reserved a place to greet
the train out in the long shed. The
great eoncourse, with its high glass
roof, was swept clear of all but the
official group, and those Immediately
connected with the sorrowful func-
lions. The great terminal and the
miles of trackage stretched empty
and silent to await the funeral train,
The funeral program called for no
ceremonies of greeting at the train
or elsewhere, except for the strains
of the band and the salute Of the
troops outside. There was just the
slow walk behind the casket across
the silent and out through
the presidents room to the waiting
gun carriage. Arrangements had
been made to spare Mrs. Harding
even this and a closed car waited to
hurry her by a different route to the
White House, in order that she might
be there when the casket was lifted
down and carried in TO its first night
of quiet since 1t started from Sar
Francisco.
The official party was ready tc
break up at the White House, those
who made the fateful journey Will
President Harding going to theii
homes only to reassemble at tht
train tomorrow evening and go witt
him to the last, when the casket II
lowered to It's final resting place II
the quiet cemetery at Marion. Fol
tonight it will lie at the White
House, ~untroubled by the pomp ant
! ceremonies at the nations woe ant
with only the sorrowing widow ant
close friends to watch through thu
long hours until the nation agail
claims its great dead.

K|DD|ES
HAD FINE TINE
Nothing at All Happened to
Mar Success of Elks Out
ing at Asbury Park

Eighty crippled children and
those who took a n of them, made
a party of nearly one hundred and
forty that represented Perth AmboA
yesterday 1t Asbury Park, IN the
second Crippled Children's day OF
the Elks of New Jersey. The star,
was made at 10 o'clock and Z O'Clock
saw the return, without a single
mishap to mark the day for the
guests of the local lodge. Many OF
those who were entertained yester-
day, perhaps, sixty of them, had
taken part in the outing last year
and the others quickly learned The
routine. The day was perfect and
the trip was thoroughly enjoyed
Down the shore, the thirty automo-
biles toured, going as far as Avon
before a turn was made.
Coming back to the park, the
cripples and their aids left the cars
at Jenkinson's pavilion and the lunch
boxes were opened. The committee
had provided plenty and it was add
ed to by contributions from the Jen-
kinson kitchen and ice box. The
ice cream was followed by stick
candy and toys, presents from MI,
Jenkinson. Before the big party
was through, the merry-go-round
and ferris wheel man was on the
scene, to ask and urge that all visit
his attractions as guests. Nearly
all enjoyed the big wheel and the
merry-go-round, and, deeply CRATE
full to Proprietor Williams, they
made their way to the boardwalk,
where the smiling Charley Rugar'
Der met them with wheeled chairs
and merrily they rolled along for a
while before going to the steeple-
chase.
At the steeple chase, the triumphs
of last year were repeated to the
delight alike of the youngsters and
proprietors, Eugene Ameli. The
start home was made at 5 o'clock.
Going and coming stops were made
at Hendrickson's Old Cherry Tree
farm and only a small part of the
refreshments furnished, were charg-
ed for by the hospitable proprietors.
Two details stand out promi-
nently as the Elks consider the day
and its results. In the first place
there is an appealing force to the
Crippled Kiddie movement which
they have seen in nothing else. ex
cept in time of great disaster when
the hearts of the people + novel
as me-. The only trouble was
caused by the anxiety of so many &c
help. Men and women outside the
order offered money, carr and help
of every kind and it was hard q
refuse it. Then the committee in
charge this year and last made a
rocred that has lever been equaled
in the history of the lodge. There
is no trouble in securing the at
tendance of its members and they
work with a will that is fully justi-
fed by the importance of the du-
ties committed to I'll cir care. Yes
terday they were greatly assisted by
Mrs. Gould of the Red Cross and
Miss Walker of the Board of Health
nursing staff. The committee still
has to distribute the presents pro-
vided by Ludwig Wolff, as it was
moi thought wise to attempt to hand
them out yesterday.
