Mr. Probst was encaged in the wholesale bread business for many years aa a member of the firm of Probst Schomaker, which in 1910 merged wtih the Schults Bread Company. From that time until 1 922, Mr. Probst was vice president' of the Schulti Bread Company.

Ho was a member of the advisory committee of the Williamsburg Hospital and an officer of the church board of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brooklyn for many yean and took an active Interest in many of, the civic and charitable movements In this boro. In 1866 Mr. Probst came to this country from Germany, where he was born. He married Catherine Heinsohn a few years later and the couple celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary In February.

Inside 'ie car was hung with black to typify a Nation's mourning for a stricken leader and in the observation section the broad windows through which Mr. Harding had so often gared with pleasure and won-uer at the mighty Wectern peaks were covered with black. From the roof hung garlands of purple and white asters and on the floor, its length parallel to that of the car, was a low black bier. Wherever tht re was a place to fasten them cypress and ferns had been attached, so the President lay snrroundrd by evergreens symbolic of immortality and by the flowers and ferns that typified the great outdoors he loved so well. Hoe litx-ketl Room.

That room will be occupied while the train speeds Eastward: sailors and soldiers will stand guard there: men who had known Warren Harding from boyhood will go there and stand a while, silent, gazing on the casket of a well-loved friend; a frail, silent, courageous figure In black will steal there softly and sob. But just beyond was another place that no one will enter or occupy the room where Warren Harding lay during the first struggles with his final illness. That room Is locked. In it are the President's baggage, the things he knew and used and labored with. No one will use them now.

Mrs. Harding's room is In the middle of the car. where springs and girders exert their gatest effort to lessen the strain of traveling, yet not so far but that she can go alone in the dark watches to keep a vigil beside her helpmeet. Down on the platform beside the train, a little crowd awaited the coming of the President's body. Its members were also members of the President's own party on the Westward trip, waiting to begin their last Journey with their chief, their leader end their friend.

Overhead airplanes from the army-posts about San Francisco Bay circled, long streamers of mourning flying from their wingB in token of official mourning. Clusters of roses, loving tribute to the dead, fluttered down from them as they passed above the train. Then outside the muffled beat of drums was heard and through the archway could be seen the Presidential escort drawing up In solemn array to pay the final honors accorded the departed commander-ln-chief. More drums, more troops and sailors and marines passing, a band playing a dead march, the guard of honor, officers of the country's three services, each with sword hilt wrapped with crepe, took up its station in the archway. A hush fell, John J.

Pershing, General of the United States Army, trod solemnly to a post beside the train and stood erect. Admirals, generals and other officers of the atmy and navy marched In solemnity, heads erect, but many faces drawn with emotion, and took to their stations beside the train. The Casket Arrives. Then the casket, wrapped in the American flag, its occupant had served, and bearing on its top a wreath, was borne in on the shoulders of a stalwart group of men from all three of the country's armed services. Gently, deliberately, they laid It down upon the platform beside the car.

stepped up on hat grim rostrum and lifted It through the window. The glass was closed, the cortege broke up and all the solemn picture, with Its background of grave-faced men and black-clad women was ended. There was not a face but portrayed a loss almost beyond bearing; there was not an eye but brimmed tears. Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General, leaned heavily on the arm of a frock-coated figure, sobbing and repeating brokenly phrases of sorrow, low and barely audible as he passed.

Then others of the official party clambered aboard the train. PoUee-men cleared a line to the rearmost car. the car where the President's body lay, and army and navy officers formed lines on either side of it. The airbrakes squeaked as trainmen tried them. Mrs.

Kennedy "I had a slight acquaintance with President Harding. 1 wrote to him asking him to speak at the New England Dinner. I believe Senator Calder presented the letter: he was always doing such things. The President wrote me that he would see me at the Hotel Manhattan, where I called at the time he designated, and was at once shown up to his room. After the President had learned the character of the New England Society in Brooklyn and the nature of its dinner on Forefathers' Day, he promised to attend and speak, which promise he kept.

He did not act though he was doing us a great favor, but rather that he would be pleased to speak. We had talked together not two minutes beforw I recognized a superior and genuine man. After securing his promise I rose to go. The President asked: "'Must you go I told him I was not in a hurry. "Well, he said, 'sit down.

It will be three-quarters of aji hour before my train goes. I haven't anybody to talk to nor anything to read not even a 8o I had a delightful visit. There was nothing fulsome about the President. He talked as If I was an old acquaintance. At the dinner he recognised me at once and reached across the guests' table to shake iny hand.

On the few occasions when I have met him since he was able fo call my name and he always aoied as though he was glad to see me." Zionist Organization.

Anderson. William H. Anderson, State superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of New York, Issued the following statement: "The friends of dry enforcement In America lost a steadfast friend in the sad and untimely death of President Harding. He has stood for enforcement throughout his Administration. His declarations to the effect that not only would the 18th Amendment never be repealed but the laws enforcing It would be strengthened rather than weakened were heartening to the friends of law and order.

"It Is gratifying to friends of law observance that President Coolidge Is so clear cut and steadfast In his allegiance to law. It waj his calm courage In upholding law In a great crisis that made him a national figure.

NED WAYBURN'S DEMI-TASSE REVUE Preaented hr the Stager of tht Kdi.l.iKa" Twlr. Mgllllj llSO sn HOTEL SHELBURNE BH1UHTOM BEACH, ft. V. PLANS FOR NEW SUBWAYS ROSHED BY TRANSIT BOARD Continued From rage 1. already approved by the Transit commission.

Speed Breaks Ueoord. Chairman George McAneny of the Commission went almost Immediately after the Board paased the resolution approving the two subway lines into a conference with the chief engineer of the Commission, to prepare construction plans for both lines. The estimated cost of the main section of the Brooklyn line, with two tracks, is 1 8,750,000. It will begin at Clay on Manhattan go down Manhattan ave. to McCarren Park, thence to Roebllng across Broadway to Division thence under Bedford ave, to Halsey St.

To save time the Commissioners will devise a standard form of contract, which will be submitted to the Board of Estimate for Ita approval and then to a public herr ing, generally a purely perfunctory detail, following which the bids win be opened. No subway work on record has had so much preliminary action and so much speed. The passage of thre resolution by the Board of Estimate yesterday, after the Mayor had held out until even his staunchest adherents began dropping oft, set in action plans which were being held for this signal. It Is stWl necessary for the Mayor to affix his personal signature to the resolution, but there is little doubt, after he cast his vote In lti favor, that he will do it, probably on Monday. Waterman's Comment.

Frank D. Waterman, chairman of the Committee of 1,000, which pressed the fight for the two subway lines in the past two weks, made a cautious comment on the victory. "By keeping our tempers and all pulling together," he aald, "we straphanger! have cleared the road for the new subways. There has been too much talk and too little action in the past. The thing for all of us to do now is to keep our mouths shut and our fingers crossed until tne shovels etart to work." He said that 16.607 signatures to the petition for the lines were received in this morning'! mall, making a total of 102,759.
