PRESIDENT HARDING DIED LAST NIGHT 

Death Came Without 

Warning. Calvin Coolidge 

To Take Office To-day.

Warren G. Harding, president of the United States, died suddenly and without warning last night, of apoplexy, after a week’s illness, at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco. Death came at 7:30 o’clock (10:30, Eastern standard time). 

It was thought that the disease with which the President had been suffering had been conquered and that he was on the road to recovery. Mrs. Harding and the nurses were the only ones present. There was only a slight shudder through the president’s body, a collapse, and the end came before any of his physicians could be summoned. Mrs. Harding was reading at the bedside at the time, and sent out a call for the physicians. 

The news of the President’s death traveled fast throughout the city of San Francisco, and soon four telegraph trunk lines were flashing the account of his sudden and unexpected demise to every corner of the United States and in fact to every nation. 

The news reached Altamont via the Western Union wire shortly after 11:30.
