Denver.-In common with the plain
folk of Marion, Ohio, and the millions
OF citizens throughout the length and
breadth of the nation, Denver bowed
her head in grief during the funeral. 1t
was day apart, set aside for last
rites, for national reverence of the
memory for him who was Americas
foremost citizen, Warren G. Harding,
twenty-ninth president of the United
States. Business, pleasure, mundane
things were stllled
At noon in Denver, at the time when
the last hush fell over Marion pre-
paratory to the funeral procession, the
presidential salute of twenty-one guns
doomed out farewell from the grounds
of the state capitol.
At 2 80 o'clock the sound of a bugle
brought thousands of men in uniform
to attention, and to the strains of
ChOpin's funeral march a great pro-
cessiOn moved slowly along the streets,
between rows Of silent citizens whose
heads were barred and bowed.
In the procession were an artillery
caisSon, bearing a casket draped with
the nations flag and surmounted by
single wreath, the gift of the Ohio
Society
AT the Auditorium the procession
was disbanded, while an honor guard
of soldiers bore the casket into the
building and set it in front of the plat
form.
The memorial service there were
thrown open to the public. Clarence
Reynolds, city organist, sounded the
funeral march on the giant organ. The
Rt. Rev. Bishop J. Henry Then Of
fered the opening prayer
Former Senator Thomas, a Demo-
crat and a colleague of Mr.. Harding
in the Senate, delivered an address in
which he spoke from the depths of
personal love for the President which
recognized no party lines. In Presi-
dent Harding he found as the leading
personal characteristics, broad human
sympathy, high ideals, a thoroughly
rounded devotion to service to his fell
lOwmen.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS services, with
funeral corteges preceding such cere-
monies, were held in every city and
town in Wyoming in memory of the
late President Warren G.. Harding
Gov. w. B. Ross, who made the mem
orial address at Sheridan, designated
the day as one of public mourning and
prayer.
Omaha.-Warren G. Harding was
placed for his long sleep with bells.
tOlling for five minutes in Omaha. A
thrOng which conservative figures es-
timated at 10000 gathered at Ak-Sar-
Ben field, Omaha's playground, in
brief, dignified and dramatic service
in memory of the lamented President.
Los Angeles, Calif-Los Angeles
and southern California generally
joined the remainder of the nation in
putting business and pleasure aside to
pay homage to the memory Of Presi-
dent Harding. At 1 O'clock, the time
of the beginning Of the funeral serv-
ices in Marion, Ohio, practically every
sound in Los Angeles was hushed for
five minutes.
Washington. Silence prevailed
throughout Washington for five min
utes as the funeral service for War
ren G. Harding was held in Marion.
New York.-Hushed with a reverent
stiffness unparalleled in her history as
metropolis, New York paid sorrow
full tribute to the memory Of Warren
G. Harding. Her great banks, her
brokerages, her stores, her harbor de-
serted, the city turned to her myriad
churches where the sad ceremonies at
Marion, Ohio, were being echoed. 1t
was almost as if there was funeral
in every home. Broad thorOughfares
were stripped of their traffic. Sub
way and elevated trains, running ON
reduced schedules, were sparsely oc-
cupied.
ChicagO.-AS quiet, simple ana un~
ostentatiOus as the man who was hon
ored, was Chicago's tribute to the
memory of Warren G. Harding. Busi-
ness ceased, factories were stilled,
traffic paused, and people left their
accustomed tasks to assemble through
out the city to mourn a fellOw-Ameri-
can.
