Train Loses More Time. • •» Onllery Junction, Pa.. Aug. 7. —The entire population of the villages and ham lets, augmented by huridreds who came from the country section beyond the rail road Hanked the Baltimore & Ohio tracks as the Haggling funeral train running at reduced speed, passed' through western Pennsylvania. The mourners are so numerous that the train lost additional time on its journey to Washington. Many Thousands Gather at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. Pa.. Atig. 7 (By the Asso ciated Press). —Thousands upon thous ands of men, women aiid children of this industrial city forming a line along the Baltimore & Ohio right of way from the tip of the most distant suburb to the Glcnwood station, made a voiceless but impressive tribute to the late President Harding today as the funeral train from the Pacific coast passed on its way to Washington. The train arrived here at 12:32 p. in. Eastern Standard time. It halted at Olenwood. while a change of engines was made. The mourners standing bare-headed un der n scotching sun. were numberless as the train made its way slowly through the city. Crowds unprecedented in the history of Pittsburgh, thronged the hill sides, bridges, and every point of vant age. At the Olenwood station, city and county officials, delegations representing different organizations aud others, met the train of sorrow with floral tributes, the great throng stood in silence, ever conscious of that fact that the body rtf the late President lay still in death in the funeral car. The sjieed of the train was .reduced to the minimum from Etna, a suburb on the outskirts of the city, to the Ole wood de pot. So slow was the progress than it required +4 minutes to negotiate the few miles to the station. To those accustomed to viewing large gatherings it seemed that the population of the entire city turned out. Along the hills flanking the Monongahela River were thousands of mourners. Most striking was the tribute paid by steel mill toilers as the train passed the big industrial plants on the river front. The din of the mills was stilled as the body of the President went by. The workers, unmindful of their soiled clothes and besmeared faces and hands, stood with bare heads, pressing their caps to their breasts. Within nine minutes after arriving at Olenwood the necessary changes had been made and the funeral trian proceed ed on its way to the capital leaving here nt 1 :1!) p. m. Railway officials said additional loco motives wohld be attached to the train for the haul across the mountains. Funeral Train At a Mile a Minute. Chioago, Aug. o.—Traveling nearly a mile a minute to make up lost time, the Harding funeral special speed through 1 Indiana tonight toward Wash ington. The train passed Milford Junc tion at 10:40 p. m„ centraltime, covering the nearly 24 miles between La Par. Junction and Milllord Junc ’ tion in 24 minutes. Mrs. Harding Objects. Willard, Ohi Aug. 6. —Mrs. Harding aboard the special train has requested railroad officials to see that the train travel no faster than 50 miles an hour nt any time nnd that its maximum s|>ced in cities nnd towns where crowds have gathered be 10 miles per hour, ac cording to a telegram made public here tonight by Superintendent B. F. Stevens of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Mr. Stevens predicted in view of the request of Mrs. Harding that the train would not reach Washington until fate to morrow on possibly tomorrow night. Delayed in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 6. —Father Dearborn, bowed his head in moutning today as the nation's burden of sorrow readied Chi cago. Through miles upon miles of people, the funeral train bearing the body of Warren O. Harding passed scarcely fast er than a mau might walk. Slowly the black draped engine moved through the great throngs, at times so deuse that they were crowded upon the tracks in front of the funeral cortege even as they tried to make a path for the train of mourning. Traffic was halted for blocks at ev ery street intersection and the people were 'mnased so densely along the right of way that the train could only creep and at times shopped altogether. It probably was the greatest demonstration for a public figure the city has ever wit nessed nnd can compare only with the re ception accorded the body of the only other chief executive, of the nation ever brought here—-Abraham Lincoln, in 1865. Not only did people gather in the hot, dusty ruiltpad yards and stand for hours wedged so tightly together that they could scarcely breathe, but they peered by the hundreds from windows and from liopse-tops.

'£ “GIVE NATt'RE A CHANCE” HARDING’S LAST WARNING The Son of a “Country Doctor” Favors Rest For Ilealer. Sidney, Neb-. Auk s.—What might well be taken as Wjjiri'cii G. Harding’s parting injunction to the world was contained in the speech six weeks ago made at. Cheyenne., through which his funeral train passed today. He said: “Having been a witness to the life of activities of a genef.il practitioner of medicine commonly known as a coun try doctor (his father, from whose home in Marion the burialViH take place). 1 am a firm believer in giving nature a chance, instead of ogerdoctoriug a sick patient. It has beeu. my strong belief that the world, fevefed by war nerves, exhausted and disposition made irri table. needs less of experimental remedies and more of a chance to calm down while nature takes a turn at the longed-for restoration. “We have seen fevered madness turn to violent revolution, but the patient has not improved. Wb have seen capital so enriched in the great saturnalia of expenditure that men, lo*P interest in the normal pursuits. the notifiable . profits of righteous endeavor. We have seen workmen so liberally rewarded for a little toil that'many men are striving ever to do less. Both are wrong. The world's work must be done. There is no escaping it. God willed it so. The biggest need of the world today is work, bard work, honest work, efficient work, work to make amends far war's madness, work to effect the needed restoration and put the ■ strain of human progress on the rigjit track once more.” • TUCAPAN MILLS SOLD TO BOSTON COMPANY Purchase of Spartanburg .Textile Plant Involves 63,000.000 or $4,000,000.

' WASHINGTON WAITS J. OF FUNERAL TRAIN FROM WEST Train is Delayed by Thous ands Who Assemble on the Way to Pay Their Last Sad Tribute to the Dead. SKIES HEAVY WITH PORTENTS OF STORM It Seems Likely That Dark ness Will Fall Before Cas ket Will Be Placed in East Room at White House. Washington. Aug. 7 (By the Agsoei ated Press). skies, heavy with portents of storm, but broken occasional ly by hot hazy sunlight hung over Wash ington through the last hours of waiting today for the funeral train that is bear ing President Harding back to the ulti mate honors his sorrowing countrymen can pay him. Hour by hour messages poured in tell ing of the slowing pace of the train as crowds at stations along the way forced I changes in the schedule that they might pay their silent tribute to the dead. It seemed likely that darkness would fall before the flag-draped casket could be laid for its brief space of quiet in the East Room of the White House. Plans for tlie reception of the dead were urged except as the slow hours of waiting were dragged out longer and longer as each Ohio and Pennsylvania town through which the train crawled lavished its voiceless acclaim at the bier of the dead Ohioan.' Whatever hour it came Washington would be waiting, hushed, reverent, sorrowful. In daylight or darkness it will be the same.
