Presidential Headquartera, PW Hotel, San Franciico, Cal.Wrr.i A Harding, president of the UinW States died instantaneously and with-out warning Thursday evening at 7:80 o'clock, a victim of a stroke of ftftV plexy, which struck him down inhis weakened condition after an iUnesv of exactly a week. I Death came to the chief executive while he was conversing with mem-bers of his family and according to an official statement issued by physi-cians, was apparently due to some brain evolvement, preaably an apo-plexy. , The end came to suddenly that the members of the official party could not be called. It came after a 4ay which had been described by Briga-dier General Sawyer, the president's personal physician, as the most satis-factory day the president had had since his illness began. The physi-cians in their formal announcement of " S cam aut, obviously deeply distressadj t iaaJwwiweiit to rnmpfr men, most of whom did not know a the hurried call almost half an feawr previously: J "Boys, I cannot tell you a thing." J "The president had a most splendid afternoon," said Lieutenant Command-er Joel T. Boone, assistant to the pres-ident's personal physician. "When I left the room I commented, 'Doesnt he look splendid V "Then, all at once, he Just went like that " The commanders snapped his fingers. "Just like that" he re-peated. "Something just snapped; that's all Secretary Wallaca 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. - The chief executive of the nation and, by virtue of his office and personality, the end said that "during the day he had been free from discomfort and there was every justification for an-ticipating a prompt recovery." The first indication that a change had occurred in Mr. Harding's condi-tion came shortly after 7 o'clock, when Mrs. Harding personally opened the door of the sick room and called to those in the corridors to find Dr. Boone and the others quick. At that time Mrs. Harding was understood to have been reading to the president, sitting 'at his bedside with the evening paper and messages of sympathy which had been received during the day. Dr. Sawyer was alone of all the doctors in the president's apartments when the climax came. He first was called by Mrs. Harding, who then rushed to the door leadinginto the hotel corridors and commenced an im-patient search for the other physi-cians. The death of the nation's chief exec-utive was announced in these words: "The president died instantaneously and without warning and while con-versing with members of his family at 7:30 p. m. Death was apparently due to some brain evolvement, prob-ably an apoplexy. "During the day he had been free from discomfort and there was every Justification for anticipating a prompt recovery." The story of the president's tragic end was told officially this way: "The president died at 7:30 p. m. Mrs. Harding and the two nurses, Miss Ruth "Powderly and Miss Sue Daus-se- r, were in the room at the time. Mrs. Harding was reading to the pres-ident when, utterly without warning, a slight shudder passed through his frame, he collapsed and all recognized that the end had come. A stroke of apoplexy was the cause of his death. "Within a few moments all of the president's official party had been summoned." I Secretary Hoover was the first of the four members of the president's 'cabinet who are in San Francisco to learn the sad news. He went into the room at onre, and in a few minute one of the world's leading figures, passed away at that time when his physicians, his family and his friends thought that medical skill, hope and prayers had won the battle against disease. The disease had been conquered, the fire was out; but seven days of silent intense suffering had left their mark, and a stroke of apoplexy came without an instant's warning and before phys-icians could be called, members of his party summoned or remedial measures taken, ne passed from life s slage af-ter having for nearly two and a half years served his nation and for many more years his native state of Oho. Calvin Cool id ge, who succeeds War-ren G. Harding as president of the United States, has been in public life and before the public eye more than twenty years. He was prominently mentioned as a presidential possibili-ty at the Republican national conven-tion when President Harding was nom-inated in 1920 at Chicago. When he was elected for second place on the ticket and accepted that nomination. Republican leaders considered him a valuable asset to the ticket. In his capacity as vice president, Mr. Coolidge hss taken a more active part in the affairs of the nation than nas the occupant of that office in any previous administration. Calvin Coolidge took the oath a? president of the United States at Plymouth, Vt., at 2:47 a. m. Friday. Aug. 3. The new president was sworn in by II hi father, who is a notary public, and I at whose home he was visiting. TheB text of the pledge is prescribed by the Constitution, and was telephoned to him by the White House. Word of the simple ceremony wan telephoned to Mr. Coolidge's Secre-tary, Edward T. Clark, who, after sev-eral hours of unsuccessful efforts, had established wire connection with Plymouth and had notified his chief j of the death of President Harding. 1 News Notes From Lark Fern, Maxine Hatt the youngs est daughter of.
