The reverent silence the liu;-bed'
awe which greeted the Harding
funeral cortege on its long eastward I
journey and especially at its termi- i
sal the city of Washington was the
most inipretaive indicator in years !
to the true national character of i
America according to Collector of .
Customs Robert V. Humphreys who
baa returned from a trip east made j
for the purpose of attending; the ser-
rices at Washington. I
"I have never seen anything like
It" nays Mr.Humphrejs. who wai j
himself a personal acquaintance of
the president ami one of the staunch-1
et of the 'T'"s guard" during the ;
camr iitn for his nomination.
"Tue train was 10 hours late'
when it finally armed in Washing- ;
ton. yet thousands of peolpe re-1
Stained at the station deterni'nd to i
be on hand w'.en the body of Mr.
Harding reacliej the i-ap.iol. The
delay was caused by the sneer weight
of hurnamH whii-h l-resscl ngaiiiM
the train on every stop it made dur-'
ing the last day's travel. The train-
men could hardly make their way
from the station at Chicago and ali'
long the route delays were frequent.
Ve were called by telephone when !
the train came in. We mingled ":th
thoae thousands of men and women:
and do you kuow not a noise was
made. The men stood with their
heads Pared every utie of them. T::e
Hence was positive!? ii. spiring. It
savored so muvli rai reverent-1 j
And the journey of t hie casket throuin I
the streets the next day was even!

PORT ARTHUR ELKS WIN.
Houston Post Special.
PORT ARTHUR Texaa Aug. 19.
The Port Arthur Elks defeated the
Bulphor Mines L. team her this af-
ternoon by the dose score of 2 to 1.
These teams have met fire times this
'easoa and the games now stand three
'to two in favor of Sulphur Mines. The
teana ar rtrj evenly matched and
.are believed to be the best amateur
teama is thia section of the country.
BattariM (or the day were: Sulphur
'Woods and Tooiette; Elks Leach
ju4 Bmitk.
aa the mounted police ana cavalry
rode heading the column; the occasional-
rattle of a saber ae the cav-
alrymen passed: the rumbling of the
5u n carriage bearing the president's
ead body; the dank of the field ar-
tillery behind: that was all.
"I don't believe a multitude like
that in any other country would hare
been so well behaved. Anywhere else
a riot a bomb throwing a demon-
stration of some kind would have
been inevitable. Here there was
nothing but respect for a president
(tone and the great machinery of
government went smoothly on."
Mr. Humphreys visited relatives in
New York before his return. On the
trip he made the acquaintance of two
potential candidates for the presi-
dency Senator t'opeland of New
York and Governor Al Smith of tbe
same state.
Mr. Humphreys found Governor
Smith "a character a case." He
said that the Smith boom had not
yet materialize.! au.l t ijht probably
Governor Si 'i'h i.nr.-e'.f Jia.l no hopes
for n.'!1: natiw. 'He' too busy be
