Harding Expired After Asking
Vile to Resume Reading to Him

San Francisco. Aug. 3.-Mrs. Hard
ing was reading aloud to the chic
executive an article entitled "A cain
review Of calm man." In which h
was the man reviewed. when tn
stroke of apoplexy brought an end t
hts life, according to Mrs. E. E
Remsberg. sister of Mr.. Harding.
She paused in her reading ant
glanced up. He raised his hand ant
said: That's good. 30 on, reac
some more"
Those were the last words President
Harding spoke. In an instant q
shudder shook his frame. his hand
dropped and he collapsed.
Mrs. Harding was at the door in.
stantly and called. Find Boone and
the others-quick"
One OF the secret service men
rushed down the corridor searching
for DR.. Boone while General Sawyer
worked desperately within the room,
applying restoratives. DR.. Boone
came In almost running at 1897
o'clock. Several others had gone
into the room in the meantime and
those that came out were plainly
greatly distressed.
Reporter Got Flash
One Of the Associated Press repre-
sentatives who have been on watch
ever since the president was brought
to San Francisco last Sunday morn
ing, heard Mrs. Harding's appeal for
man hurry down the hall in search of
Drl Boone, and at 1929 o'clock sent a
bulletin travelling over the wires to all
parts of the country telling Of the call
for the physicians and then followed
with bulletins giving more details of
what was occurring in the vicinity of
the presidential suite. Thus news
paper editors were aware of some
thing impending fully twenty-five
minutes before the announcement of
death was made.
When the announcement was made
1t was flashed to all parts of the
nation by the Associated Press by
telegraph and telephone and to the
most distant parts of the world by
cable and radio. Thus 1t was that
newspapers were on the streets in
New York with announcement of the
passing OF the Republics cnle1 peIore
it became at all generally known
about the hote.
Doctors Are United
The FIVE physicians who attended
the president were united in their de-
cisions as to the cause Of death. In
a statement issued last night and
signed by all of them they declared
il was due to "apoplexy or a rupture
OF a blood vessel in the axis of the
brain near the respiratory center"
The statement emphasized the death
from such cause might have
occurred at any time and came after
recovery from the acute illness he had
suffered for a week was in process.
The statement showed conclusively
that the physicians as we'll as every
one else believed up to the minute
the executive was subjected to the
apopletic attack that he was on the
road to recovery. Three hours be-
fore the end came the most optimistic
bulletin issued since the president was
taken i'll, was made public. 1t said
