NATION s CHIEF
/. EXECUTIVE DEAD
President Harding Succumbs to
Stroke Of Apoplexy.
THOUGHT TO Be RECOVERING
Sudden End Came as Profound Shock
/ to All Surrounding Their Chief
/, Funeral Train on Way to
-, Washington.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-Pres!dent
Harding died Of stroke Of apoplexy
at 1870 O'Clock Thursday night. His
exact age was fifty-seven years and
nine months.
The end came suddenly while Mrs.
Harding was reading to him and after
what had been called the best day he
had had since the beginning Of his
illness exactly one week ago.
Suddenly 1t was noticed that the
President was shuddering and gasp.ng.
Mrs. Harding ran to him, but he was
unable to respond to her inquiries.
She then ran to the door Of the sick
room and called to the secret service
man there to summon the Presidents
physicians.
When General Sawyer reached the
room the President was still alive. but
he died almost at once.
Recovery Seemed Assured.
The Presidents death came as q
shocking surprise. But an hour ear
ner General Sawyer had been telling
newspaper men that Mr.. Harding had
had the best day since he became se-
riously Ill. He said that the President
had definitely entered upon the stage
Of convalescence and that everything
went to show that Mr.. Harding was
on the road to ultimate recovery.
The members Of the official party
those who had accompanied the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding-had no warn,
ing that the President was In danger.
They. like the newspaper men. had
been assured that fatal termination
Of the Presidents illness was thing
not to be expected. in view Of his ap-
parent improvement-the evident les
sening Of serious symptoms-in the
last forty-eight hours.
Mrs. Harding Brave.
It was announced later that Mrs.
Harding did not collapse but bore the
shock quietly and bravely. She said
to friends Of her party and relatives
Of the late President who gathered
around her that she did not fully
realize the blow that had come to her.
She had duty to perform, she said,
and must bear up.
She agreed with the four cabinet
members who are here that the body
Of her husband should be taken east
on a special train leaving here at Z
o'clock Friday evening.
/ Optimistic Feeling Had Prevailed.
? During the dny. while entirely opti-
Imistic, General Sawyer had said that
some complications had come through
the reappearnnce Of minor intestinal
trouble from which the President had
suffered long time ago. This had In
creased the strain on his nervous sys-
TEN and to that extent the strain upon
his heart. General Sawyer did not
care to have details like this stressed,
but he pointed to them as evidence
that convalescence would be slow.
! At Mrs Harding's request a number
Of her friends went to her sitting
room late In the evening and sat with
her. Tie wicow .cf the. President was

was "settin'" the table. For such an
occasion there would be white cloth,
the best silver would be out, and there
would be three candles instead of one.
The clink of the dishes ceased and
the girl appeared in the doorway be-
tween the two rooms. Seeing Jack, she
paused, tried to look severe. but
failed.
"Now look at thati'
Mrs. Curry Strengthened, and ex-
claimed:
big Jack Mercy, how you can slip
up on body"
"Put i'm t. work, Mis- Curry. We
don't low no loafers, do WEI"
The housekeeper in reply was inter-
rupted by misbehaving skillet and
she turned back 70 the stove.
Supper was on the table. The woods
man took his place with the others.
The banker dropped his hands in his
lap, nodding toward the preacher, and
bowed his head.
The traditions of the FIatwoods
called for long and sonorous grace
sort of ermonette-when the preach
er was a guest, but the new minister
seemed never to have heard of any
such tradition. The grace he said was
so short, so direct and concise, yet so
beautiful in thought and diction that
the banker looked at him in pleased
surprise.
Supper over. there fell moment of
silence-the delicious breath of repose
that almost always follows the evening
meal in quiet country homes. The old
money-lender sat marking on the table
cloth with his fork, as If mapping out
the boundary lines of other quarter
sections that he hoped to have the
chance to fOreclose in short time.
The girl seized the favorable mo-
ment, and leaning forward, said
"Now, Mr. Hopkins, tell us about
my brother-Ken. I've ben wishin'
all evening t ask y'u."
Der rather stopped marking on the
tablecloth and sat very still; the
housekeeper crossed her knife and
fork on her plate, as the Christians
of Spain used to do in the days of
Moorish domination; the woodsman let.
his thoughts revel in the fauItless pro-
file of the girls face. The preacher
caught the wistful look in her eyes
the subdued eagerness of one who
could not resist the desire to ask, yet
dreaded the answer. He fumbled his
napkin.

CHAPTER III
Three Candles.

Three Candles.
The last flare of sunset had followed
the Wabash out under the rim of the
west by the time Jack Warhope came
back along the orchard path to the
red-roofed cottage.
From the porch at the front of the
house came the drone of the bankers
voice, broken occasionally by the
preachers precise, jerky sentences.
Warhope listened for q moment.
The money-Iender was talking about
quarter-section that he had fore
closed on the day before. The woods
man had heard many an hour of that
talk. With shrug of his shoulders,
he pushed the gate open and walked
around to the kitchen door.
With a step that the woods had
made light as falling leaf he slipped
in and stood motionless. The portly,
pudgy form of Mrs Curry, the house
keeper, was bent over the COOK stove,
busy with the supper.
The fit of shadow and the clink
of dishes in the adjoining dining room
told the grinning intruder that Texie

Mercy! but you're a hard man t
herd. Don't y'u know you're goin'
home with us t. supper?"
First heard of it," the woodsman
drawled, shifting his shoulder against
the post.
The girl glanced at the preacher
standing at the edge of the road,
jerked her head ever so slightly toward
him-a motion so elusive that it would
have escaped anybody else but Jack
Warhope-and lowered her voice to a
whisper:
wen git i'm t. tell us about-Ken."
She turned away. The shoulders
left the porch post, and the man fol-
lowed.
The old banker was holding out his
hand for the letters. He glanced them
over, grunted, thrust them unopened
into the pocket of his faded coat; NUT

The venerable widow, like the rest
of the village, must have been on the
lookout for the new preacher, for she
was at the door to meet him as he
came up the walk with the others. The
old banker presented him.
$50 glad to have you come, Brother
Hopkins. It has been so dreadfully

The mild old eyes ffoated full of
tears. The preacher seemed not to
notice.

went on.

The banker frowned thoughtfully !:

thick In the corners OF the room. The

glanced about him and turned to the
widow.

to the parsonage, she excused herself !;

II do not favor the permanent inter-
ference of the government in this
problem. That probably would in
crease the trouble by increasing pro-

discretion, the most liberal terms of
payment for fats and grains exported

Considerable space in the message
was given to the coal problem. The
President said he did not favor gov
eminent ownership or operation of the
mines, and continued: "The supply
Of coal must be constant In case of
its prospective interruption, the Presi-
dent should have authority to appoint
commission empowered to deal with
whatever emergency situation might
arise, to aid Cancellation and volun-
tary arbitration, to adjust any exist
ing or threatened controversy between
the employer and the employee when
collective bargaining fails, and by con-
trolling distribution to prevent prof.

THE British parliamentary elections
4 were held Thursday, and at this
writing it appears that the Conserv-
alive party with its policy of pro-
tective tariff has been defeated. De
layed returns from country districts
may change this, but even then Prime
Minister Baldwin would have slen-
der majority. The reunited Liberal
party made considerable gains, and
the Laborites, already the second in
strength, won many new seats.
One notable feature Of the election
was the defeat of the women. They
had a number of candidates, but only
two appear to have won-Lady Astor
and Miss Susan Lawrence, Laborite.
Arthur Henderson, one of the most
prominent Laborites, lost his seat to

NJ EWS from Russia is doubtful

come from Moscow a dispatch that is
of vast Importance if true 1t says
that Professor Joffe, Russian scientist,
has discovered method for making
wire stronger than steel out of COM
mon rock salt. The discovery result
ed after experiments in mutability of
metals by structural chemistry BY
submitting rock salt to high heat pres
sure before the elementary crystals
began to decay he arrested the decay
by changing the structural arrange
ment of the atoms and molecules, this
change increasing the durability and
ductability of the substance 800 times.
1t is stated that if the discovery can
be applied to metals it will revolution
ize the world.
