Harding, whoso eocdttlon Is the subject of frequent bulletins from her sick room In . the White House. BULLETIN IS CALLED (Continued From Pass One) received and was promptly denied at the White House. At 9:25 "p. m. a report that a New York newspaper had announced the death t of Mrs. Harding reached the White House and was likewise officially denied. SORROW BOWS PRESIDENT There was little the corps of five doctors and two nurses could do except watch they and the haggard, sorrow bowed gray-haired husband, who, with clenched lips, paced from room to room and in and out of the sick chamber. The only word that came from the executive mansion ws that borne by the constant stream of callers. There was nothing upon which the doctors could base a bulletin, even to appease the demand for news of the sick woman's condition, a demand which by every known means of communi cation was made upon the executive office all through the day. Dr. Sawyer, the Hardings' physician, announced there would be no bulletin before 8 p. rru CALLERS SHOW COKCERK Callersi who Included Speaker Gillett of the house of representatives. Sena tor Watson and other officials, took away with them- some of the air of deep concern which shrouded the White House. Former President and Mrs. Wood- row Wilson motored to the main en trance of the White House t about 4 o'clock this afternoon and inquired aa to the condition of Mrs. Harding. They were told that she was resting easily at that time, but that there was no decided change in her condition. Both the former president and Mrs.' Wilson expressed sympathy and, leaving their card s, - drove off. ' Mr. and Mrs. Wilson cancelled their standing Saturday reservation at a local theatre and were not present at the evening" performance as is their custom. . This Is the first Saturday evening performance they have missed for many weeks. The deep sorrow which the entire nation feels -and the -sympathy of men and women in every walk of life were expressed in thousands of telegrams which kept coming to the executive office during the day. The citisens of Marion, Ohio, where Mrs. Harding was generally known and beloved before she moved into Washington officialdom at the side of her husband, poured out their deep sympathy in messages -that seemed to throb with human feeling. DR. MAYO TO ARRIVE Word was received at the White House late in the day that Dr. Charles Mayo, famous surgeon, on Jkta wy from Rochester;. Minn., would arrive about 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Thft gave rise to theNbellef that a surgical operation had ben decided on aa a necessary measure. No such decision has been reached, it was learned, bow ever, and no operation wUl, 'be per formed except in case of utmost need and as a last resort. A final decision on this point may be made tomorrow. BY PRESETIJTO TtTIS CLLT. WITH TOtTR SUIT, ..

The decision to issue no more iulle tins before 8 p. m., announced by Dr. Sawyer early in the 'aMernooW was taken to indicate that thr physicians did not expect any radical Chang in her condition for some time. DR. HARDIXG THERE The corps of doctors attending Mrs. Harding was augmented today by ar rival of Dr. George T. Harding Jr. brother of the president- He, with Doctors C. E. and Carl Sawyer, Joel Boona of the presidential yacht May' flower, and Dr. John Kinney of Bal timore, carried dn a ceaseless fight to subdue the poisons which menaced Mrs. Harding's life. A call for special prayers in homes and churches for the early recovery of Mrs. Harding went out late in the day from the headquarters of the Veterans of .Foreign Wars here. Col onel. T. Li. Huston, commander in chief. dispatched the following message to all commanders of the organization : "Please get word to all local posts and members in your department urg ing that requests e made for special prayer in churchos r nd homes on Sun day for the early return to health of Mrs. W. G. Harding and in addition special prayers will be offered in all post meetings until her, recovery. ' WORKED AM050 TETS Among the many enterprises which taxed Mrs. Harding's strength, none has been closer to her heart than her work among the disabled veterans, many of ; whom are members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. All official business at the White House was halted today, so far as the president was concerned. Maintaining in Mrs. Harding's presence an air of cheerfulness and . confidence which he did not feel, the president, when away from her side, showed in his restless pacing and the higgardness of his face how the strain was telling on him. Watchers at the bedside observed how both Mr. and Mrs. Harding sought to cheer the others by maintaining a cheerful and undiscouraged front. FIRM WILL HELPS Mrs. Harding's strength of will al ways has been one of her chief char acteristics. It has carried her through many crises and in what may prove the last grave crisis of her life, she has a firm grip on herself and is her' self leading the figit for life. Callers told how, last night, in char acteristic fashion, . Mrs. Harding thought of the comfort of others. ; Dr. Kinney, the Baltimore specialist, had Just arrived. Turning to the presi dent, Mrs. Harding asked him whether he had arranged for an automobile to take the doctor back to the station. She thought he was returning at once to Baltimore. v The usual stream of visitors found their entrance to the executive mansion barred today. It was Mrs. Harding's order which opened the White House grounds and the state apartments to the public as soon, as she moved in. It was .her illness which today re moved the privilege she had extended. Indian Who Shot Prohibition Agents To Have Hearing t Dallas, Or.. ept.

The party left Paradise Inn, eleva tion 6557 feet, at 2 o'clock the after noon of August 29, and arrived at CaYop Muir, an altitude of 10.000 feet.' about 7 o'clock the same evening. They rested there for the night, and were up again next morning at 3 a. m. and continued onward up the moun tain., arriving at the summit. 14,408 feet, at 9 :20 a- m. "We ran into one snow storm dur ing our climb," said Sykes, "and were bothered somewhat by the cold winds that swept the mountain slope. The great altitude affected some a little, but did not bother Jeanette in the least, who was remarkably free from fatigue." Miss Jeanette's trip was the result of a promise made her by her father that he would take her mountain climbing some time during the year. She is very anxious to become a Ma zama, arid her father, who is a mem ber of that order, feels that she has fulfilled requirements necessary for membership. Sykes attributes, in part, his daughter's wonderful endurance on the trip to-the training . she has . re ceived ingcalesthenic dancing, lessons in which she has taken for the past six years.
