There were few about on the eighth floor of the hotel at the time. The corridors, which have been jammed with the coming and going of constant crowds for days, were almost deserted. It was the dinner hour. Members of the cabinet and personal friends of the president who have been his constant companions on the Alaska tour were down stairs, dining. Only the usual secret service guard and a few casual newspaper correspondent, their vigilance relaxed because of the continued optimistic bulletins on the president's convalescence, were about the hall. Eight floors below there was the customary dinner throng, gay, happy, gathering in the great dining room to the accompaniment of an orchestra. Into this crowd there suddenly dashed frantic bellboys, paging members of the cabinet, the members of the official party, but loudest of all the doctors. Dr. Boone, the naval officer whose name had leaped first to the lips of a frantic and terrified nurse, was dining with General John J. Pershing. He was out of the dining room and across the lobby into the elevator while the boys were still running between the tables. Then commotion broke loose in the Hotel. Everyone knew something was wrong. No one knew what. Shortly the word came down. The president was dead. The death of the president was announced in exactly the same way as the bulletins on his conditions have been issued every day since his illness. Judson C. Walliver, chief clerk of the White House, went to the president's apartment to find out what was "wrong." As a member of the White house staff he was permitted to go beyond the "dead line" which was established several days ago and beyond which newspaper correspondent were not allowed. Shortly he returned down the corridor. "There will be a bulletin in a few minutes" he said to the waiting reporters. He went into a stenographer's room and there was a clicking of typewriter. When he emerged he silently handed out this: "August 2, 1923." BULLETINS SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3—President Harding's last written words were the prized possession today of his secretary, George B. Christian, Jr. They comprised the address which Mr. Harding had written to deliver at a Knights Templar ceremony at Hollywood, Thursday. The president wrote the brief speech on the U.S.N. Transport Henderson at sea and was his last written words so far as is known. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3—Shortly after 2 o'clock the remains of President Harding, clad in conventional black, were placed in the casket and moved from the room in which he died into the reception room. Mrs. Harding continued to bear up bravely as the time approached for the departure of the funeral train. She was described by those who were permitted to see her as "in perfect command of herself." Upon the doctor's instructions, she ate a light breakfast, and at lunch time, when they again insisted that she take food, she ate a light meal of crackers and milk. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3—At 7:45 p.m. the following announcement was made by those in charge of arrangements for transporting the Harding funeral train back to Washington. "It is impossible at this time to issue a complete schedule of the funeral train's trip across the continent, but the people along the route will be able to judge from the following statement of the time when the train will pass thru these key points: "Leaving San Francisco, Aug. 3, 7:00 p.m. "Arriving Ogden 9:05 p.m. Aug. 4. "Arriving Omaha 2:15 a.m. Aug. 6. "Arriving Chicago 3:30 p.m. Aug. 6. "Arriving Washington via B. and O. 1:30 p.m. Aug. 7." "The president's remains will be carried in the observation compartment of the car Superb, in which he has travelled on nearly all of his considerable journey since he was nominated for president.

Seven thirty-five p.m. The president died instantaneously and without warning, while conversing with members of his family at 7:20 p.m. Death was apparently due to some brain evolution, probably an apoplexy.

Staff Correspondent) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3—Stunned by the blow, grief-stricken beyond expression, the city-by-the Golden Gate which so proudly received President Harding last Sunday today typified in its reactions to the death of the nation's beloved head the manner in which the news was received in every city, town and hamlet from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Like the swift moving clouds of gray fog which front time to time suddenly enveloped San Francisco, the pall of sadness quickly settled over the city as the telephone, wireless and newspaper extras conveyed the news: "President Harding is dead." The city was stricken numb. Orchestra shalted in the midst of dance music, dinners were forgotten, pedestrians stopped traffic in the streets as involuntarily they halted at the news and stood helpless. Scenes in the Palace Hotel where the presidential suite is located were typical. Diners looked on with interest, messengers dashed into the dining room paging the presidential physicians and a few members of the presidential party dining down stairs. The optimistic reports earlier in the evening concerning the president's condition disarmed all but a few, however, as no further report came as the minutes passed. An assistant manager brought the news down stairs of the president's death immediately after its official announcement at 7:20. "He's gone," he said as he ran down the lobby. Those within hearing stopped as though petrified. Another assistant manager walked across the dance floor to the orchestra, stopped it with a wave of his hand and announced, "The president of the United States is dead." No one moved for what seemed minutes. Then the dinner tables were deserted, food forgotten and the news discussed in whispers almost. HARDING BUOYANT UNTIL DEATH CAME SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3—"President Harding was buoyant to the point of humor to the end, frequently jeeting with his physicians as they gathered in his room for consultations." Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover said this morning after visiting the presidential suite. Secretary and Mrs. Hoover were the first visitors this morning and after talking with one of the secret service men stationed around Mrs. Harding's apartment, decided not to break her solitude. Definite denial was made by Secretary Hoover of published reports that President Harding had, in the throes of delirium Monday night, paused the floor of his sick room for some moments before being guided back to bed. "President Harding had not risen from bed since he was stricken," he said. ALL LEGION POSTS GO INTO MOURNING INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 3—A period of mourning for all American Legion posts throughout the United States was ordered today by Alvin Oiley, national commander of the American Legion, in respect to the memory of President Warren G. Harding. All legion post members along the route the presidential funeral train will take from San Francisco to Washington have been asked to assemble at the railroad stations to pay silent tribute to the president.

Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Aug. 3—France's grief over the passage of President Harding was expressed today in impressive messages of condolence from Premier Taymond Polineare. "All of the people of France bow their heads in sympathy with the grief which moves the United States." Without Vice-Pres. for Year and Half WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—The United States will be without a vice president for the next year and a half. The only changes in the system of government, however, will be the elevation of Secretary of State Hughes to ranking executive position under President Coolidge and the election of a permanent presiding officer for the senate. Hughes, under the constitution, would step into the presidency if the new chief executive died. In the Senate, six names were mentioned today for the honor of presiding permanently in the place of the former vice president and at his salary. These were: Senator Cummins of Iowa, now president pro tem of the senate; Jones of Washington, who has been acting president frequently; Curtsis of Kansas, the Republican "whip"; Moses of New Hampshire; Watson of Indiana and Brandegee of Connecticut, all Republicans.

Another assistant manager walked across the dance floor to the orchestra, stopped it with a wave of his hand and announced, "The president of the United States is dead." No one moved for what seemed minutes. Then the dinner tables were deserted, food forgotten and the news discussed in whispers almost. The lobby jammed quickly with a quiet reverent crowd. No one seemed to know why they were there. Outside the streets on both sides of the hotel a crowd gathered in quiet orderly fashion. Police reserves, who arrived on the scene within a few minutes, passed thru the throng with the announcement that the president's body would not be removed and the crowd melted away although all night there were many who came to stand, heads bared, by the hotel in which rested the body of the president. A crowd of several hundred would gather only to melt away without a sound. The street was never bare, however of a few score silent watchers. Within a few minutes after the announcement of the president's death the gay decorations on all sides and the roof of the hotel, flags, bunting, electrical displays and window ornaments were being removed. The presidential flag was hauled down and one American flag was hoisted at half mast. All of the others which had symbolized the city's joy at entertaining the president in their sombre absence expressed the city's sadness. On the proclamation of Mayor Rolph Jr., decorations were removed all over the city and flags everywhere flown full mast in honor of the president's visit were lowered at half mast. FOUR CABINET OFFICERS WERE WITH PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One) Reno, Ogden, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago and thence into the Capital. No stops will be made other than those necessary in the operation of the train. The president's remains will be borne on a rear car, probably the ordinary type of observation car. At night, flying through the miles of desert, plain and mountain that lie between San Francisco and the capital, it will be lighted, and at all times two soldiers and two sailors will stand at attention as a guard of honor about the casket. Sixteen enlisted men and two officers from both the army and the navy will comprise the last guard for President Harding. The trip to Washington will be a fast one. Sixty-five hours to Chicago and 20 from Chicago to the Capital was the forecast today. Until it is borne reverently to the train tonight, the body of the president will lie where it happened. Poicare Expresses Sympathy of France (By Frank E. Mason) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Aug. 3.—France's grief over the passage of President Harding was expressed today in impressive messages of condolence from Premier Traymond Poincare.

He outlined in admirable language the essential conditions surrounding such a court. "This was the final action of a man ready to resign supreme power to enter into the silence of eternity. Is this not the most beautiful counsel the chief of state can give the country over which he governs and the great people who invested him with the power?"
