Here in the heart of the Blue
Ridge Mountains is a grave, but
little diffennvt from other last rest
ing? places. No stately shaft or
monument marks- it from its fel
lows. But here lies the dust' of O
Henry; author.
And It was in memory of this
man, now sleeping his last sleep in
the mountains he loved so well, in
tribute to his genius and in ap
preciation of'th life works he gave
the world, that Aheville yester
day observe his 60th birth- anni
versary. Each year for the past decade,
failing but once, the Literary Clubs
of America have set aside on their
--calendars September1! !;-' 'Or-Henryf

servance has taken a different
turn, and fhia year with announce
ment of the plans came word that
Mrs. -William Sidney Porter, O.
Henry's widow, had consented to
the placing over his grave by the
Literary , Clubs of the country a
monument in lasting tribute to the
Southerner who is recognized as
astce the master of short story
If titer.
and of whom it ran he
Vssithfully said, quoting his own
words in describing one- of his

Last evening's observance found
three speakers giving each threoAL
minute taiKg to audiences at the
Pack and Imperial Theatres, where
special " plays and pictures were
shown, from the writings of -O.
Henry. These speakers were Mrs.
William Sidney Porter, hie widow:
Mrs. Charles Malcolm Piatt, repre
senting tne Literary clubs, and
chairwoman of the day; and Ir.
Archibald , Henderson, who, In ad
dition to his above, title Is .now
professor of the University of
North Carolina, at Chapel Hill.
The others are well known, but
it was Mn. Porter who drew the
eyes of ail, and who was given the
greatest ovation on her appear
ance. Little end frail, and with
some of that look In her eyes which
characterized O. Henry. she nat at
the Imperial Theatre with head
bowed, while Egbert Burnham.
Miss Rhea Reynolds, accompany
ing, rendered a special song, the
words from one of O. Henry's
poems.
Then, after Introduction hv Mn
Piatt, she told her audience- In a
thin, clear voice, little snatches of
me early life oT herself and of O.
Henry, and just a little of a ro-
llnance which survived a core of
35rs, and leaped across the double
f decade when they met in New

"I send you this line to e

The Investigation will be start

and . New Tork.
The North Carolina Corporation
Commission, through A. J. Max

resenting the business interests of
this State and. rates between West
ern shipping points and the Caro

ing features of the hearing. A
number of tramo men nave alleg
ed high rates to the Cardlinas and
the Corporation Commission win
accumulate a mass of evidence to
sustain this contention. . ,
At the instance of Governor
Morrison, the Commission has em
ployed as legal counsel to repre

The case Is said to be unprece

one of the most Important - ever
presented. The railroads from all
parts of the country have already
submitted testimony In the case,
asking that the rates not be low
ered, while the shippers still have
their testimony to submit.

WASHINGTON'. "dV CTBepf n I
Mrs. Harding was said to be "get
ting along very nicely" by Dr. Carl
Sawyer, son of Brigadier-General
Sawyer, at 10:05 o'clock tonight.
"Her improvement is continuing,"
he said to newspapermen as he en
tered an automobile for a ride wjth
Mrs. Sawyer and Chairman Lasker,
of the Shipping board.
It was learned that President
Harding retired at 9: SO o'clock to
night.
Tension at the White House ove
the illness of Mrs. Harding was re
lieved somewhat by encouraging
reports from her bedside. It was
made plain, however, that the
crisis had not been passed, and
that the patient's condition waa
still critical.
Previous to issuance of the
morning bulletin visitors who call
ed at t he White" House reported
that Mrs. Harding had rested well
during the night and that her con
dllon was believed to have improv
ed. Later in the day unofficial ad
vices from the bedside were to the
effect that she continued to gain
graund. The steady Improvement
friends of the President said, had
greatly encouraged him.
Discussing the case with news
papermen late in the. afternpon,
Dr. Sawyer declared that the in
creased elimination of wastes
through the kidneys, noted In the
morning bulletin, had given the
attending physicians a sense of re
lief they had not felt heretofore.
Dr. Charles Mayu, Rochester,
Minn., specialist, who was r-illed
Into consultation particularly on
the surgical phases of the case,
made no comment fo newspaper
men aside from the statement that
he hoped to be able to start for
home "any time nwo." He indi
cated, however, that he would re
main at the White House tomorrow
and longer if It waa deemed ad
visable. Dr. John Finney, of Briltlmare,
who has participated In the con
sultation, was rot at tne White
House today. It was regards ! as a
favorable sign by those watching
the case that he did not consider it
necessary to be at Mrs. Harding's
bedside.
Patient) Cheerful And
Aska For Food.
During a brief talk with news
papermen Dr. George T- Hardipg,
Jr., a brother of the President, de
clared Mrs. Harding not only w.ts
able to take nourishment, but for
the first time since her Illness
reached the critical state, she had
asked for It an encouraging sign,
he said, adding that the patient
was cheerful and her voice waa
considerably stronger.
The President, according to his
brother. Is taking his wife's ill
ness as well as could be expected.
Despite the strain he has been un
der since Friday, he was said by
Dr. Harding to be In excellent phy
sical condition. The President, his
brother added, was noticeably re
lieved' by the change In Mrs. Hard
ing's condition last night and to1
day.
While Mr. Harding remained
away from his office throughout
just , before noon strolling, under
the day, he spent nearly two hours
the trees in the spacious White
House grounds on the side over
looking the Potomac River. His
companions were Will H. Hays,
former postmaster-general, and 72.
