By United _Vec* WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.—Pennsylvania Ave., down which the body of Warren G. Harding was trundled en route to its last rest, has had an unparalleled history. It has been the parade ground of victory, the highway of brave hopes, the concourse of carnivals, the boulevard of blasted ambitions and the avenue of death. Up this long, broad thoroughfare, from the Capitol. Presidents have driven to the White House, exhilarated by high hopes in the achievement of the greatest honor at the disposition of the American people. Up this avenue Lincoln and Grant headed victorious marching troops after the Civil War; it knew the tread of thousands of martial feet at the close of the Spanish American War;

form, whether his dexterous and disciplined facilities are now contending in a greater world than ours for supremacy, I do not know. But this I know, the sweet, patient, lovable spirit of Warren G. Harding in some world goes living on. “Every man is the center of a circle whose fatal circumference he cannot pass. Within its narrow confines he is potential, beyond it he perishes; If immortality is a splendid but delusive dream, if the incompleteness of every career, even the longest and most fortunate, be not supplemented and perfected after its termination here, then he who dreads to die should fear to live, for life is a tragedy more desolate and inexplicable than death. “But to the Christian the undiscovered country is as real as if the travelers of by gone years had one by one returned with stories of its wonderous joys and beauties. “To this land our beloved President has gone. Those of us with highly nervous temperament can hardly understand the beautiful serenity of his life. He seemed to stand upon a plateau high above his fellows. I think that Warren Harding was the answer to Kipling's poem, 'lf.' He seemed to be able to stand success and remain humble. He seemed to live like one with his head Above the clouds, but with his feet firmly planted on the earth.”

Joseph Moorman, son of E. H. Moorman. 1301 E. New York St., said he saw two men pretending to catch night crawlers with a searchlight on lawns in the neighborhood. An automobile was parked near by.

Mrs. Harry Towles, 1214 Eh New York St., heard someone prowling in the house about 11:80 p. m., but did not give any alarm. This morning Mr. Towles found $4.50 missing from his trousers. Trousers of Charles Larman, ISO 2 E. Ohio St., furniture dealer at 1102 S. Meridian St., were relieved of SIBO in cash and SBO in checks. Mrs. Herman's purse was robbed of $5.
