There he was bombarded by photographers, outside and inside his office, and spent a few minutes gathering personal effects from his desk and closets. That the hotel will be the center of the government for several days was definitely established today. The presidential Buite, originally four rooms, was enlarged by additions up and down the hall, and White House Clerks and stenographers swarmed in to handle the flood of telegrams, mail gnd other business. Kmergency tele phone and electric wires were strung up temporarily on the (urpets and along the walls and the whole Cool (dge administration was put Into mo tion, while Inside and outside of the hotel crowds of curious spectators stood for hours in an effort to secure a glimpse of the new president.

The presidential ear passed practically unnoticed out Six teenth street to the District of Co lumbia line, returning by the Name route to the hotel. A fair sized crowd was massed at the hotel door as the presidential party passed out to the automobile. There was a burst of applause, a loud elapping of hands and a few cheers.

In 1902, John Lee Webster said in a speech on "Some Phases of the Declaration of Independence,” before the Nebraska Bar association: "No lawyer who aspires to eminence In his profession can afford to neglect the study of our national history. In the selection of the subject for this discourse. I may not be able to say anything that Is not already familiar to most of you. but If by my remarks I can excite a laudable ambition to refresh your minds anew with the Incidents of American history and the study of the foundations upon which it Is builded. I will have accomplished something for the benefit of the pro fession to which we belong. No other profession is so closely allied U'lth tho science of government and so dependent for success upon the higher ideals of perfection." In this attitude of mind, and In con nection with the pageant "Patriotic Historic America," to be given under his direction by Ak-Sar-Ben on Oc tober 3, Mr. Webster has consented to publication of his opinions on the "high points” of American history, based wholly upon Interviews, his speeches, and books he recommends. He having made this exhaustive study and attained eminence in the profession so closely allied to gov ernment, we understand his fitness for the tasks of planning and expla nation. But what he saya of the legal fraternity should be said of the whole American people and we should all further study and "rededicate ourselves,” as Lincoln said, with profit to ourselves and to our coun try Beginning Is Paramount. Mr. Webster considers that in any achievement it is the beginning, however smaJl, that is important, be cause its nature determines what fol lows, and but for the beginning there would be nothing to follow. There fore the founding of our government is the most Important part of its his tory. He holds George Washington, the "father of his country," in the greatest veneration. It is because our founding was so splendidly done that we have become the greatest nation in history and for that reason also we should t continually study that period and aim to emulate its wisdom and lofty ideals. Asked to recommend books for the general reader, Mr. Webster sntd that w.ould be Impossible. His private library, one of the best In the coun try' contains over 600 books on American history alone. However, one may begin with Henry Cabot Lodge, Bancroft, the Madison papers, Kiske, especially his "Critical Period in American History.” Rllot'a De bates. Ford, Curtis, Herrick, Wirt's Patrick Henry,” and Oliver’s "Ham ilton.'' Many of his own speeches have been published and may be had at the public library. They not only give unusual Insight into history but have delightful and rare literary quality. The Revolutionary war, Mr. Web ster think*, is chiefly Important in its causes and It* results. The cause* are best set forth In the Dec laration of Independence. Bancroft says: "The blind resolve to shape American institutions after the pat ti*n of the British aristocracy led to a revolution." The colonists w’ere without necessary articles of all kinds, for manufacturing was forbid den by law. and also the sale of such thing* to other countries or to each other. The colonist* and the Knglish Parliament had no share In tho direc tion of colonial affairs, the king hav ing absolute control. The king or the governor he appointed could veto any laws made here. Colonist* were forbidden to settle between the Mis sissippi and a proclamation line drawn along the head waters of all rivers flowing Into the Atlantic, and between the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, for that section was re served for Indians. To defend their property, 10,000 regular troops were sent over to be maintained partly at the expense of the colonists, the money raised by enforcing the old trade and navigation laws which meant trial without lury, an import tax on sugar, molasses, etc., and by a stamp tax. Boston Tea Party. The people refused to drink the tea that was taxed and on the night of Dec. 16, 1773, about 00 young men of Boston, clad as Indians, each car rying a hatchet, took possession of the three tea ships and emptied their 340 chests of tea Into the bay. This “Boston Tea Party" was the first act of rebellion. British troops left Boston on the night of April 18, 1775, to capture stores at Concord, Paul Revere speed ing ahead on his famous ride, rous ing the Minute Men, as described by Longfellow. Two portraits exhibited here at the Fontenelle by Mr. Vose of Boston, had wooden frames hand carved by this great patriot. Ethan Allen captured the splendid Fort Tleonderoga with no resistance, and the Battle of Bunker llill frightened the British soldiers. The next beginning was when Washington, on July 3. 1775, under an elm now standing at Cambridge. Mass., took command of the army, the first act of union of the colonies and the first time their troops were under one head. He was selected because of his brilliant service in the Ffench and Indian wars and because he rep resented Virginia, the most populous colony. He drilled the^ raw rerruits, which had dwindled to one-third and drove the British from Boston. King Prevents Reconciliation. Reconciliation was still desired, but the king made that Impossible by pro claiming the Americans rebels, clos ing their ports and hiring 17,000 Hes sians to subdue them. Ot Richard Gee, In congress from Virginia., Mr. Webster says; "He believed the time for independence had come; having studied history he knew the love of liberty and fate of tyrants, lie en gaged fn studies which made him a finished and elegant scholar, calcu lated to form the character of a firm patriot and an enlightened statesman. He knew that the love of power Is so Inclusive In its nature, thut it perverts the judgment and brands as visionary or condemns as false the maxim, 'that the people are the legi timate source of power,’ and he was prepared to break down that wall that separates the aristocratio patricians from the corpmon people. "He knew that In the convulsions of states, courage and vigorous err teiprise gave safety; In such periods inactivity Is certain destruction, while hold temerity is often crowned with success." f>n June 7, 1776, Gee moved the declaration, "that these united colonies are. and of right ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all al legiance to the British crown and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain Is. and ought to he, totally dissolved.” Uebate was delayed until the 8th and was the most copious and ani mated one ever held In congress on the question of Independence. John Adams wan its constant and eloquent defender, follower! by George Wythe, "the Cato of his country," while Ia>e delivered a most luminous and elo quent, speech, urging no more delay In the founding of a living example and asylum of freedom, "if we are not this day wanting in our duty.” Hut some were not ready and by com mon consent final consideration was put over until July 1. A salvage steamship rerently left Dover, Kngland, to attempt salvage of the gold from the sunken Rusl tania. On her 111 fated voyage this vessel carried 85,000,000 In gold In the strong room, mid In addition the purser's safe was said to contain ap proximately 81,000,000 In gold and Jewelry.

Capital Coin£ Forward With Funeral Plans President Coolidge and High Officials to Meet Funeral Train at Washington— Services Wednesday. ll> Assuriuted Press Washington, Aug. 4.—The national capital, in sorrow ami mourning sym bolic of that of the nation, went for ward today with the preparations to receive and pay a last tribute to the dead president. A state funeral, to be marked by a solemn dignity and simplicity wus ar ranged for by President Coolidge and other high officers of the govern ment, who devoted themselves untir ingly to the preparation of ceremo nials that will fittingly express the grief and reverence of the American people. President Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft, members of the cabinet and of congress and others high in govern ment councils, will participate in the ceremonies. At the suggestion of Mr. Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson was invited to take part, but after a con ference between Lieut. Col. Sherrill, aide to the chief executive, and Rear Admiral Orayson, Mr. Wilson's phy sician, it was announced that be cause of the condition of his health the former president "regretted he would be unable to participate. Officials to Meet Train. Upon its arrival here from San Francisco Tuesday, the funeral train will he met by Mr. Coolidge and other ranking officials, who will accom pany the body to the White House behind the escort of a squadron of cavalry and a battalion of field artil ery. It then will lie in the east room until Wednesday. Whether there will be private services at the White House will depend upon the wishes of Mrs. Harding. Wednesday morning the body will be escorted to the capitol and placed In the rotunda. After funeral ser vices there, It will lie In state until 6 that night, and an hour later will start on the last journey to Marion, where, on Friday, it will find a rest ing place In the soil of Ohio, As the flag,draped casket moves from the White House over Pennsyl vania avenue, It will be escorted by several thousand troops under Gen. John J. Pershing, and behind the automobiles carrying Mrs. Harding and members of the family will be President Coolidge, members of his cabinet, members of the supreme court and senators and representa tives. Children to Strew Flowers. The Masonic orders of which Mr. Harding was a member, will be rep resented by 150 Knights Templars and representatives of the grand lodge, and there Rlso will be small groups from other fraternal organ izations. As the funeral cortege moves from the White House, 10.000 Washington school children will lay down a carpet of flowers for the caisson bearing the casket, and a children's choir, re cruited from the city's playgrounds, will sing the favorite hymns of Mr. Harding. After the simple services In the ro tunda have been concluded, the pub llo will be admitted for a last view of the dead. They will march In from the east entrance, four abreast, but reaching the bier, the line will sepa rate, pissing two abreast to either side. There will be a guard of honor at the casket and the lines will be kept In continuous motion. Coolidge to Accompany Ilody. When the door* .have been closed, the body will be taken to the union station with a military escort and placed aboard the train. President Coolldge and many other government officer* will accompany it to Marion. Two army officers, both Ohioans, were appointed to represent Mr. Coolldge in making arrangements at Marion for the funeral. They are: Col. F P. I.ahm, formerly of Mans field, and Lieut. Edward M. Taylor of the Sixteenth field artillery, for merly of Marion and once an employe on President Harding's newspnper.

Silent Throngs Pay Tribute to Harding (Continued From First Paged often told his audiences, He had helped to make one. Stops were few and far between. Only when necessity for fuel and wa ter compelled did the long, heavy train come to a panting halt. Then there was a busy few minutes of activity among the train crew, oc casionally a fresh engine and then on again eastward toward the capital, where the national sorrow will be more ceremoniously expressed next week at the White House, where he lived and labored as chief executive, and under the dome of the great capitol where he w'orked as senator. Mrs. Harding flrave. The heat of the day and night was trying to Mrs. Harding, but with that remarkable control which already has aroused the ungrudging admiration of all who see her, she seemed to get a stronger grip on herself as the train plowed steadily eastward. As the day wore on and night approach ed, she seemed to gain in resolve "not to break down," as she herself ex pressed it so often, and even the watchful physicians, relatives and friends aboard the sorrow laden train were compelled to admit that she ap peared to be winning her fight in a truly magnificent manner. Mrs. Harding had the benefit of a fairly restful nlglit and a somewhat less restful day. The first 15 hours she spent In bed In her apartment in the car that carried the remains of the president. Respect Wish for Solitude. At 11 this morning she rang for her maid and dressed and had breakfast. Then, the curtains of her apartment slightly lifted, she sat and looked out for several hours on the constantly changing panoram. The others aboard seemed silently to understand her desire for solitude, and only when she expressed a wish to see some members of the party did they ap proach the silent rear car. Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Sawyer and Sec retary and Mrs. George 11. Christian, Jr., were her chief companions during the day. It was no exaggeration to say that the physicians themselves are sur prised and gratified at the courageous way in which the widow of the late executive Is bearing up. Her intense resolve "not to break down" has ap parently overcome the physical weak ness with which she has been afflict ed since her own nearly fatal Illness last autumn. "Only Woman Could Do It.” She Is a physical invalid." said one of the physicians attending Mr. Hard ing throughout his illness, and he a-Med "only a woman could do it." He said only rarely did Mrs. Harding leave her apartment to walk the scant 10 feet to where the narrow corridor broadened out into the observation space of the car holding the casket. She would speak a few words to the silent guards at each oorner of the bier and then return to her room, to again sit and watch the mountains and hills lilt speedily by her window. The well of the car that holds the late president's remains has been kept in the same simplicity that marked Warren G. Harding's life. Thors Is the 4!ag draped casket in the center _ resting on a low platform. Atop It ties a single floral decoration, a vie torv wreath of laurel and olive leaves and whits flowers, the offering of the grief stricken home folk* of Marion. Overhead stretches ropes of Chinese asters in the varying shades of purple that indicate high estate and mourn ing. The heavy casket is sealed, and will remain so until Washington is reachcetl. Attorney General Hurry At. Daugh erty, whose consideration for hla chief in not desiring to "bother" him on the day of his arrival in San Francisco resulted In his never again seeing him alive, is in a state of bereavement sec ond only to that of Mrs. Harding her self. The bonds between Warren G. HArdJng and Harry M. Daugherty were very close and there was a per sonal relationship of 30 years stand ing which no official relationship could approach. The attorney general locked himself in his stateroom soon after leaving San Franciaco. He did not appear un til this afternoon. The sorrow that ia In his heart was plainly written in his face. He appeared tired and drawn. He saw Mrs. Harding for a time dur ing the afternoon. Flowers were put aboard the train at some of the few stops today The toll of bells could plainly be heard above the noise of the train in many towns through which the train passed today. Flags were ail at half mast. Conversation Limited. Occasionally a group of soldiers would be seen in the flying towns, and they rigidly cam# lo aalut# to remain so until the train was gone. Conversation aboard train between members of the official party was limited to discussion of the probable cause* leading tip to the preeldent’a sudden and wholly unexpected death and to Impending changes in Wash ington. There is a general feeling among those who have been with the party continuously since It left Washington that Mr. Harding's lack of exercise on the trip was one of the chief factors In his collapse. This opinion Is shared to a great extent, too, by the physicians. Mr. Harding has always led a vigor ous life. Physically more fit than most men of his age, he found an outlet for his energy In sports, chiefly golf. In hil younger days lie had played baseball When he came to Washington he be came a devotee of golf; an occasional horseback ride and once in awhile a long hike were his chief recreation*. He was regular in his exercise. JVorn the time he left the capital on June 30. until his death 43 days later, Mr. Harding found it impossible to obtain any regular exercise. He was even denied walking, for every time he stepped from a hotel or a train it was into a waiting automobile. He played golf but three times during the long trip—in Hutchinaon, Kan., In Salt Lake and in Vancouver, only a few days before his death. On ship board, he was busy with speeches and reading reports concerning the var ious Alaskan problems that were pre sented to him there. i Jonipn,€>d6ra&Ca Advance Autumn Frocks After all a frock is only price-right in proportion to which it is style-right.
