Warren ').? Harding, president of the. United States, died instantaneously and with- 1 out warning tonight- a,t 7 ;&U i.Ylo* k, I ( 1 *> : oU Hasten* time), a victim j of iajwplexyi which struck him down in his weakened condition after an. iU ness of exactly onr week. The chief ixecljitive <<f the nation, and by virtue of hi* ifffict? and j*M>on ality, one ?>f the world's leading fig ures, p?sw<l away at a time when his physicians, his family and his people thought that medical skill, hope and prayer had won the battle against disease. With the passing of- Mr. Harding, the ofYice of president devolves upon Calvii^ Coulidgc, vice president of the United States, a man silent in nature, but demonstrated as strong in emer gencies. He was notified of the Plymouth, Yt. The suddenness with which the end rame was shown by the fact that only Mr*. Harding and the ivvu nurses, Ruth Powder ly and Sue Dausser, were in the room at the time. Mrs. Hard ing, with her characteristic faithful ness, and constant - tenderness, was reading to the president. Then without a warning a slight shudder passed through the frame of the chief executive, he( collapsed and the end came. Immediately the indi cations of distress showed themselves. Mrs. Harding ran to* the door and called for Lieutenant Commander Boone and for the other doctors to come quickly. The death of. the nation's chief ex ecutive was announced in ihose words: "The prt s : ? i < r.: died instantaneous ly and without warning and while con versing with members of his family at 7:05 p. m. l>?a;h was apparently due to some brain mv onn nt. prob ably an apoplexy. ?^pu ring, the day he had boon free fttui) and there was every indication for anticipating a prompt recovery. t. ~ ~ ?? : - ? .. . The Mory <>f the president's tragic in i w a a told of in this way: "The president died at 7:30 p. m. M r%. Harding' and the two nnfaes,* Miss liuth Powderly and Miss Stie Uau.^i'i', were in the room at the time. Mrs. Harding was reading to the president, when utterly without warning a slight shudder passed through his frame, he eol lapsed, and all recognized that the end had come. A stroke of apoplexy was the' cause of his death. , "Within a l"e\^ minutes all of the president's official party had been summoned." Secretary Hoover was the first of the /our members of the president'.* cabinet, who are in San Francisco, to, learn the sad news. He went into the room at once and in a few minutes came nut obviously deeply distressed , and in a low voice said to newspaper men. most of whom did not know of the hurried call, almost haJf an hour! previously: "Boys, I can't tell you a thing." Secretary Wallace was; the second member of the president's official family to learn of the passing of his chief and he likewise was so over come with grief that he could say nothing. A third official statement .issued it S;15 p. m. announced that Vice Presi dent Calvin Coolidge, the next man who occupies the first position in the United States government, had been ^ notified of President Harding's death. The message was signed by Attor ney General Daugherty . and Secreta ries Hoover, Wallace and Work. . It follows: "The following' telegram announc ing the president's death was imme diately sent to Vice President ("ool itic'. Chief Justice Taft and thos? members of the cabinet who were not in San Francisco: "The president died at 7:30 p. m. from a stroke so f cerebral apoplexy. The end came peacefully and without warmhgv*' ? ? ? Only Doctors Kuwycr ami H?> ihe chief and assistant physician*, were able to reach the room before the nation's leader passed away. The y were powerless to do anything. Brave in the face of the president's, illness, Mrs. Harding remained brave in realization of his death and and did not break down. The statement said: "Mrs. Handing, who from the be ginning of the president's illness had expressed .complete confidence in his recovery, did not break down. On the other hand she continued, as from the beginning, the bravest member of the group. "When it was realized that the president had actually passed away, she turned to those' in the room, whose eoncern had turned to her, and said: "I am not going to break down." ? "The president had a most splendid afternoon." said Lieut. Commander Joel T. Boone, assistant to the presi dent's personal physician. ' , "When I left the room I commented "Doesn't he look splendid?" "Then all at once he just went like that" ? (the commander snapped his fingers.) "Just like that," he repeated. "Something just snapped; that's all." Generous Jurist. Judge ? "Twenty years . at hnH labor." Prisoner ? "All I have to say is tha: you are mighty liberal with another man's time." ? Puppet. . (hit l.uck. , Old gentleman (engaging new chauf feur)?
