HARDING SIXTH TO DIE IN OFFICE
PRESIDENT W. G. HARDING is
the sixth president of the United
States to die while in office. The
first was William Henry Harrison,
who died April 3, 1811, just one month
from the date of his inauguration:
The second was President Zachary
Taylor, who died July 9, 1950, one
year four months and five days after
his inauguration; the third was Presi
dent Abraham Lincoln, who died April
15, 1S65, one month and ten days
after his inauguration for the second
term; the fourth was President Jas.
A. Garfield, who died September 19,
1891, six and one half months after
being inaugurated; the fifth was Pres
ident William McKinley, who died
September 14, 1901, six months and
ten days after his second inaugura
tion. The sixth was President War
ren G. Harding, who died August 3,
1923, two years, four months and
twenty-nine days from the time he
was inaugurated.
CRABS CAME FROM SITKA
IT NOW develops that the crabs
served to President Harding, which
are alleged to have caused the illness
preceding his death, were caught at
Fish Bay, Sitka, and after being cook
ed were presented to the President
July 22, and eaten the following Fri
day, about six days afterward.
While this is the first instance on
record of ptomaine poisoning from
eating crab meat caught in Alaskan
waters, official records show that nu
merous deaths have occurred in this
vicinity from eating sea mussels. In
the explorations of Wm. H. Dali, 1870,
he tells of a party ov ;00 Aleut hunt
ers imported by Baranof, gathering
mussels from the rocks and eating
them, and that 15 died within a few
hours. This incident gave the name
Peril Strait to these waters. Other
fatalities are also reported of later
date.
It was reported that the crabs
responsible for the President’s illness
came from Cordova, but Sitka resi
dents claim they were from Fish
Bay.
SEATTLE is to have a monument
to President Harding costing from
125,000 to ?50,000. Seward has a
monument to the late President which
will be everlasting and more durable
than polished marble or glittering
brass. *rhis is Harding Entrance,
named in honor of the President by
the party aboard with hint, at the time
of his visit. So long as Seward en
dures the great white sign at the en
trance to beautiful Resurrection Bay
will remind travelers of our distin
guished visitor.
BOOKING OFFICES in the States
declare that thousands of tourists
were turned away this year, unable to
secure passage to Alaska, and that
next year will see a far greater num
ber. The time to prepare for them is
now before the rush starts.
