DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, AUG. 7, 1923.

Capital Awaits Arrival Os Body •- - - (Continued from page one) Station plaza. The atmosphere was thick and oppressive after a week of Intense heat. Down the wide and silent streets, stores were draped in mourning. Many business houses were closed. The national government is nt a standstill. In the heat of the humid day, one hundred and fifty cavalrymen clatI tered over the bridge from Fort Myer I into Georgetown. The hoofs of the I horses beat a dirge upon the street. P Behind a half dozen artillery wagons 1 rumbled over the* stones, jerking and ’ swaying. Square chinned soldiers sat like waxen figures upon the boxes. Escort to Meet Train The military escort is going down to the Union station near the eapitol and about a mile from the White House—the same station at which Warren G. Harding arrived in Washington as a senator, then as president—now in dekth. The troopers will meet him and carry him in solemn procession down Pennsylvania avenue to his official home, the White House, there to lie in the candle light of the old East room. Chlvin Coolidge, ’ the tfew chief executive, stirred early in his suite | in the improvised white house on the I third floor of the Willard hotel. The cars were ready to take him to the I station, there to meet Mrs. Harding, widow of his chief, to escort her back to the White House; there to see the flag draped casket which I holds the mortal symbol of his President and friend. Wear Mourning Clothes Supreme Court Justices, cabinet members, senators and high officials .1 of state—many of them selected by Mr. Harding and all of them his j friends—clothed themselves in diplomatic mourning clothes. This afternoon they will ride in I big black limousnes down to the station. The business of government is done for three days and a half at | noon. The official buildings closed I thair doors. In the eapitol building I men hurried about malting readj" the rotunda for funeral services tomorI row. I From a crypt, the catafalque which

has held the bodies of Lincoln. Garfield and McKinley, was carried and placed beneath the dome. An array of flags above the big structure dropped at half mast in the heavy air. Children Gather Flowers Organized squads of school children from the Washington playgrounds were out in the fields of the city gathering wild flowers which will be strewn alotig Pennsylvania avenue in' the path of the funeral procession 1 . At the White House the staff—those who knew Mr. Harding intimately in life, and saw him go away in the full flush of success for Alaska a few weeks ago—scurried about in last-minute preparations. Outside the iron gratings citizens gathered ami peered silently up at the big pictures of the President displayed in the store windows. Homes along the shaded streets in the outer sections of the city are decorated with mourning. Not for 22 years has the national capital received in behalf of the nation the body of a President who died in office. That was when McKinley was shot in Buffalo by an assassin in 1901. Down in the broad plaza in front of tin' Union station the silent crowd grew as the hours passed. There, kings and queens have arrived in state, soldiers, returned from war. and presidents to assume office amid joyous scenes. But today into the great marble structure will come the body of the president accompanied by the mourning caravan which bore it across the continent so that Washington might thus honor him. Marines will he there with their band to play the heart-shaking funeral marches which will echo through the nation. As the black funeral train pulls in, the soldiers, sailors and marines who have stood guard over tlie body for four days and nights, will lift it from the hier and carry it slowly from the car. Outside, the military escort will greet it with presented arms. REVIEW BOARD MEETING TODAY Called To Take Action On Increases Ordered By The State Tax Board The members of the county board Os review convened this morning at the office of William Zimmerman, county assessor with all members present. The state board of tax comissioners members were discussing as to the ordered a twenty per cent additional assessment placed on farming implements and automobiles and the board method of preceedure. Different plans were favored and it was pointed out that in several of the townships the values of farming implements and automobiles were already higher than *he general average in the county, and higher than in some of the other townships. Some, of the board members wanted to equalize these assessments before placing on the additional twenty per cent. The value of farming implements and automobiles as assessed by the township assessors is over even hundred thousand dollars and the twenty percent increase ordered by the state would increase their value about J14,d00.00. WAR VETERAN ANSWERS CALL W. H. Murphy, Veteran Os Civil War, Dies At Home In This. City Today Taps sounded today for one more veteran of .the Civil war. W. H. Murphy, 79, died at his home at 603 Marshall Street, at 10:20 o’clock this morning, following an illness of several months duration of inflamation of the bladder and kidneys.
