PRESIDENT PASSES SUDDENLY WITH STROKE OF
APOPLEXY JUST WHEN THOUGHT OUT OF DANGER
ENTIRE UNITED STATES IS IN MOURNING TODAY
Mrs. Harding Reading at Bedside When End Came Without
Pain. Chief Executive Was Believed Out Of Danger At
Time By Physicians in Attendance.
SAN FRANCISCO, August, 3.—While a great Nation bowed reverently in
grief today the body of Warren G. Harding, the twenty ninth President of the
United States lay in stately simplicity in his room on the topmost story of the
Palace Hotel here, three thousand miles from the Capitol.
Dies Easily
The President died easily and quietly, and with a suddenness that was shock
ing to the people of the nation, only a few hours after the five physicians in atten
dance had issued the most favorable news of his brief illness.
Apoplexy Cause
The immediate cause of his shocking death was announced this morning by
physicians as to l>e due to Cereberal Apoplexy, the rupture of a blood vessel in'the
axis of his brain nuar the respiratory center being the direct cause of his sudden
passing away.
Passed Suddenly
At the time of his death the President was half reclining in his bed, apparen
tly at ease, listening-to Mrs. Harding reading a magazine article. There were
two nurses in the rroom besides Mrs. Harding and the President seemed jierfectly at
ease, when suddenly without a. warning of any kind he slumped in bed and passed
away with scarcely a sound.
Doctors’ Astonished
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.—
H arding will be buried at Marion,
Ohio, on A ugust 11 and the train
with his body, will leave W ash
ington on August 9.
SALEM, Aug.
3.— Governor
Pierce will declare the day of the
president’s funeral a day of
m ourning and a legal holiday in
Oregon.
Harvey Gordon and H erbert
Haley, the two men who were
lodged in the city jail Wednesday
following their somewhat uncon
ventional retu rn to Oregon from
California, are free men today,
but their trusty flivver is in hock.
A few nights ago, the two, in
company with another load con
sisting of two men and two wo
men, stripped a truck, belonging
to D errel Crimmins, and w’hich
had been left by the roadside
near the sum m it of the Siskiyous.
W hen he discovered the theft
the next morning, Crimmins
started in pursuit, and caught the
pilferers a few miles from Weed,
held up by an accident to one
of the machines. Crimmins rec
ognized his property and com
manded the thieves to retu rn
with him to Ashland. They com
menced to cite constitutional
rights, and demanded a w arrant
of extradition before crossing the
state line.
An autom atic pistol against
the side of one m an’s head con
vinced him of the erro r of their
argum ent, and ^Gordon and Haley
returned to Ashland in the ma
chine th a t was in running order.
They were lodged in the jail,
and yesterday
the criminal
charges were dismissed and the
affair settled outside of court.
A bill of sale for the Ford was
made out to Crimmins by the
men, who intend to work, get
enough money to pay for the
damages to the truck and then
regain possession of th eir ma
chine and continue th eir trip to
southern California.

after a short examination found there was nothing that could he done. The siul
denness with which he passed was astounding to the specialists in attendance as thev
