PRESIDENT Throngs at City Park Pay Tribute to Lamented Chief Executive Hundreds of Anahelmers, young and old, this afternoon attended the public service at the City Park in memory of President Harding. Grouped about the platform on the south side of the park, men and women from every walk of business and professional and home life gathered to pay tribute to the nation's fallen leader. The north side of the street from Lemon-st. westward for blocks was lined with the cars of the spectators. The services were under the auspices of the American Legion, the City Chamber of Commerce, Community Service, Rotary, Klwans and Lions' clubs, Merchants' and Manufacturers' Ass'n., Business and Professional Women's Club and the churches of all denominations. The features of the observance were singing by the Anaheim Community Service Chorus and the audience, an oration by S. C. Hartranft and salute given by the firing squad of Anaheim Post No. 72 of the Legion. "I feel more than a personal loss today," said Hartranft, who added that this was the first funeral oration he had ever delivered. A nation of 100,000,000 people is bowing its head at this hour and waiting for the passage of the small cortege at Marion, said the speaker. Launching into a eulogy of the dead president, Hartranft said that Warren G. Harding had "placed himself on the very pinnacle of affection" among the American people. The speaker referred feelingly to the late president's faculty of reaching the lives of men in every station of life—as witness the way in which he made himself one with people on his western trip. Harding's sensitiveness when he returned to Marion and found his old crones had become aloof from him as a man who was then superior to them—the "I am still W.G. in Marion" incident—the speech to the International Rotary at St.Louis, Mo., the star address at Hollywood by the president's secretary, all were commented upon by the speaker to show the manysidedness of the late president's humanity. Warren G. Hardings' life was a sermon and a service, he said. His greatness would live because he implanted a stimulating love in the people. His altruism was the domination note of his life. He was the world's foremost advocate of peace. President Wilson knew the pay HARDING HAD BIG RESPONSIBILITIES ABOARD S. S. LEVIATHAN IN MID-ATLANTIC, Aug. 10.—(By Radio to I. N.

Davis today at memorial service on the Lovisathan, en route to New York from Southampton. "He assumed leadership of our country at a time when the insidious forces of class leadership and class dominion were seeking a firm hold on American life," Davis continued, "and he met the challenge of the class world with his unswerving loyalty to the common welfare and his unshaken faith in the unity of our common life." "The President," Davis said, sacrificed himself upon the altar of service. Often he saw Harding at his office at 8 o'clock in the morning. "The monument of Warren G. Harding is engraved upon the hearts of the American people," he declared.

Prayer by Dr. Jesse Swank of THOUSANDS OF MOURNERS AT BIER Nation's Honored Dead Is Laid to Rest in Little Vine-Covered Vault By GEORGE R. HOLMES WORLD STOPS TO HONOR HARDING BY KENNETH CLARK (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The world paused today to pay final tribute to the memory of Warren G. Harding. From the nation's grieving capital, where he came into his greatest renown to the sun bathed slopes of the Pacific, where destiny overtook him, his own people honored in silent tribute and soft spoken prayers, a son who arose from obscurity, self-made, to exalted heights of position and power. In its every post from the soft tropics to the frozen Arctic, the American flag fluttered reverently at half mast. Guns boomed a mournful salute. Bells tollled his passing. A hundred million prayers were sent to keep him peace on his long journey thru eternity. Across the far flung domains of the earth, peoples of other tongues paused too, at work to give solemn homage to America's first citizen whose life at its highest moment was severed by Almighty Will. In many foreign climes, nations had similar services as tho America's loss was their loss too. IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL EXERCISES IN MANILA MANILA, Aug. 10.—Impressive memorial exercises were held here. AT BIER Nation's Honored Dead Is Laid to Rest in Little Vine-Covered Vault By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) MARION, Ohio, Aug. 10.—In a little vine-covered vault, set like a green jewel among the white headstones that mark the earthly beds of his old friends, there was laid to rest this afternoon Warren C. Harding, 29th president of the United States. Within a stone's throw of his shady resting place are the graves of his mother and sister, and all around him sleep the friends and neighbors of the small town from which he sprang to world eminence. Many of those who surround him in his final sleep he helped to bury. He wrote their obituaries and the stories of their funerals in the days when he was the struggling young editor of a none too stable country newspaper. The ceremonies that brought him to the tomb were as unostentatious and simple as his kindly heart would have wished. Only the booming of the presidential salute of 21 guns in the distance, only the great crowd that edified and moved restlessly about the cemetery, only the presence of an unusual number of men in high silk hats and funeral looking clothes, only the countless bowed heads and tearful faces, marked this funeral as different from the myriads of others that he himself attended in this same sun-lit city of the dead. Hewas buried in the role that he loved best—as a private citizen mourned by friends and neighbors of a life time. Thruout the day a strange, unreal day for the little town he helped to build, these same friends and neighbors had passed by his bier in an endless line and mourned sincerely his going. The great and the small of the nation were there, gathered in a great semi-circle around the vault that is to hold all that is earthly of him. The new president of the United States was there, cabinet members, supreme court justices, senators and representatives, and they rubbed elbows, under the levelling influence of death, with these of Warren Harding's friends whose clothing and appearances denoted a life of toil and not much pecuniary success. They gathered there together in a mutuality of reverence and sorrow over the passing of one whose highest professed ambition in life had been to ever Across the far flung domains of the earth, peoples of other tongues paused too; at work to give solemn homage to America's first citizen whose life at its highest moment was severed by Almighty Will. In many foreign climes, nations had similar services as the America's loss was their loses too. IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL EXERCISES IN MANILA MANILA, Aug. 10.—Impressive memorial exercises were held here this morning expressing the grief of the populace and official family over the death of President Harding.

Thousands attended the exercises. OLDEST ARCHITECT IN CALIF. IS HERE J. L. Roberts, architect, late from San Francisco, who has taken an office in room 25 of the Fisher bldg. on West Center-st., claims to be the oldest architect in California, having first hung out his shingle in the vicinity of San Francisco in 1876. At that time every one knew everyone else of his trade or profession from San Francisco to San Diego, and none of Mr. Roberts' contemporaries of that time are now living, he says. Mr. Roberts first came to California in 1872, and traveled from Oakland to Los Angeles on horseback and by pack-jack, the chief mode of travel at that time. He says he would not have had California at that time as a free gift, that he thot there was no place like New York. He visited the old Spanish missions from Mission Dolores at San Francisco to the San Gabriel Mission, making drawings of each one, which were published in Seribner's magazine. He said that the only way into California at that time was via the Central Pacific into San Francisco, or by water around Cape Horn. He returned to California in 1876 for his health and has made his home here since, tho he has made many trips back east and to Europe, BLUNDERS Is this the right way to melt paraffin?
