NEW YORK. Sept. ll.-Sieclal Tele

of ths lata E. H. Harrlman, the rumor lit
again current that Mrs. Harrlman la worn
out by the tremendous responsibilities Im
posed on her by the great fortune left by
ber husband and In shaping hrr affalia so
that aha may take a long rest and re
cuperate. When It la considered that fur
the past year ahe has capably managed a

transactiona 'n Wall street, besides direct
ing an army of workmen at Tower Hill,
at the aame time being an old-fashloncd
mother to five fatherless children. It Is not
strange that she should feel the strain.
Her Bole Aim.
No woman of the present generation has
taken ovvr the control of such complex
business affaire aa did Mrs. Hirrlinan. Yet
aha baa approach! her added duties with
quiet reserve, and determination. Her sole
aim, covering the' laft year, appears to
have, been to perpetuate the things under
takes, by Mr. Harrlman for his country
and -sea. One of hetl first acts was to
lift lha mortgage on 'the building owned
by the Boys' club, at Tenth street and Ave
nue A. This cost Mrs. Harrlman $133. CM).
A canvas of a number of the properties
of which a controlling Interest Is now
vested In Mrs Harrlman shows that not
so much aa a single $12 clerk has been dis
turbed from his living. In fact, wages
have been increased where possible, and
In several instances, businesses are being
conducted without may profit whatever
from purely sentimental reasona on the
part of Mrs. Harrunan. In the manage
ment of the vast estate she has had the
valued aervlcaa of Charles C. Tegethoss,
twelve years associated with the late Mr.
Harrlman In a special confidential
capacity. . A permanent broker In Wall
treat today stated tbat Mrs. Harrlman
had not withdrawn a dollar of capital
from the great railroad and Industrial en
temrlses Identified with the name of
Harrlman. . . . r ,

sale of holdings In the Equitable Life In
surance society she has retained. It Is un
derstood, her stock In Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Wells Fargo, B & O.,

In her attitude to the Wall street prop

NEW I-ORT, Sept 11 (Special Telegram)
Doctors Austin Flint and Harry J- Knapp,
who are in sttendance on Reginald Vander
bilt. denied with htat and In most positive
manner a story printed In New York that
Mr. Vanderbilt Is laid up with a bullet
wound inflicted by the husband of a young
society w oman at whose house in Kay
street Mr. Vanderbilt was a frequent
caller. They declared the story false
throughout.
Mrs. Kedinald Vanderbilt and Mrs. Fred
K. Nelson, her mother, have gone to New
York to attend the funeral of Frederick
Oeuhard. Mrs. Vanderbilt's uncle. Conse
quently they could not add to. the Indig
nant denials of the physicians.
Friends of the stricken young millionaire
chai acterized the story as malicious and
witnout the slightest foundation.
Ever since Mr. Vanderbilt became 111 a
week or so ag.i. gossip has been bu.-y wltn
th cause. Announcement by the family
and physicians that he had been stricken
with typhoid fever fai.ed so far to satisfy
the incredulous. It was declared that the
fever was the only ailment. Access to him.
even by his Intimates, was of course Impossible.
The woman whose name has been
dragged into the case Is young and beau
tiful and a favorite In the set to which Mr.
Vanderbilt belongs. Her father has in of
fice In the Wall street district, and h- r
husband Is wealthy. Confidence that ...hatantiai n.t,.r.
nothing of the kind occurred is varmly
professed by frienda of all partiea involved
and In support of It thoy point to the
appearance today of the young woman and
her husband together driving.
Another phase of the lnclds.it was that
the Indignant husband and several friends
waylaid Mr. Vanderbilt at night cn the
country road leading to Sandy Point,
hauled him film his automobile and
severely thrashed him.
Husli cables to the family were aent al
most Immediately when Mr. Vanderbilt ns
stricken down. His mother, Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, the Countess Zjchenyl,
his sister, and Alfred G. Vanderbilt, his
brother, were summoned In this way. The
brother gavo up hit coaching plans in
England and has since arrived, and it.e
others are on the way.

Leader of Texas State Raaa-ers Finds

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. ll.-Speclal Tele
gram.) Captain W. J. (Bill) McDonald,
who resigned from the command of a State
Banger company four years ago to accept
the office of state revenue agent, will again
become a member of the band of fighting

a quarter at a cenuiry. Preparations aVe

(' Is probable he will bs given back his old
command.
The veteran frontiersman Is anxious to
get back "on the flrlngV line." There was
not enough excitement in bis present job
to suit him. Another thinu. that worried
him Is that he was obliged to lay aside
his "shooting Irons" when he quit the
rangers to take the Job of state revenue
agent. It did not occur to him when he
accepted the appointment of revenue agent
that he would have to cease carrying pis-
1 tola. He continued to wear them for sev

pointment. Governor Campbell heard of It
and called him into his office.

MOBILE, Ala., Sept. ll.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Admiral Lueien Young, U. S. N.,
commander of the Pensacola navy yard.
While here gave some very valuable informa
tion concerning the need of a first class
naval yard on the southern coast, one
capable of repairing the largest of naval
vessels.
"There Is not a first class navy yard on
the southern coast," said Admiral Young.
"When I say that I mean a nevy yard
capable of caring for the largest vessel of
the navy afloat. .
"With the completion of the Panama
canal It is Imperative that there be a flrft
class naval yard at some point along the
southern coast line. Pensacola, in my
Judgment, Is the most logical point.
When It Is considered that there are
3.000 miles of coast line from Chesapeake
bay to the Rio Grande controlled by the
south, which is as large as the combined
coast line of the north Atlantic and the
Pacific and there Is not what could be
termed a first class navy yard In that area.
the situation Is immediately grasped.
On the north Atlantic there are first
class navy yards at Kettery, Me. ; Boston,
Newport, New London, New York. Phila
delphia, Norfolk and Washington. It is up
to the southern congressmen to get busy
at the next session of congress and to the
south to wake up to her possibilities and
natural resources.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (Special Tele
gram.) While New Orleans and San Fran
cisco are fighting desperately for the Pan
ama canal exposition In 1S15. Tanama Itself
is grlng ahead with an exposition which
will mark the completion of the great
work of Joining the Atlantic and Pacific.
For Its exposition Panama will have one
supreme exhibit which no other city can
have.
It Is the canal Itself. The Worlds fair
will be situated on a beautiful plain three
miles northeast of the city of Panama.
This plain runs down to the sea beach. A
feature already provided for Is "Panama
Vienna." or old Panama, the city destroyed
by Pirate Mnrsan.
The picturesque ruins of the ancient
city, its walls, towers and arches, are In
as good condition t-day as they were after
Morgan finished his work, 400 years ago.
The space within the walls of the old city
w ill be transformed into a veritable Coney
Island.
The object of the fair is to entertain and
Instruct the many thousands of visitors
who will come from all parts of the civil
ized globe, and more Important still, to
provide a permanent mark that will mean
a new era In the business life of South
America. The fair buildlnas will be 'of
with a view to their
further use for business purposes. It Is
planned to have In them everything that a
buyer could see If he took a trip to the
I'nlted States or Europe, thus reductna-
the cost to merchants snd permitting a
larger purchase.
Everything that experience can suggest
for the entertainment of visitors will be
provided, and an opportunity will be af
forded for the world to learn the vast re
sources of Panama, much of which remains
to ba. developed. There are thousands of
seres of rich virgin soil, that under the
direction of skilled American or European
rarmers. would yield fortunes. Two crops
of staples are grown each season. There
are vast belts of timber and gold mines
that have not been properly worked, in
other words, Panama remains to be dis
covered In aji Industrial way, and visitors
to the Panama World's fair will be af-
loraea every opportunity to learn what
the country Is like.

here today. Despite Warden Meyers report
to the government to the contrary. It has

been taken out of the dungeon, hs col
lapsed In his cell and had to be carried to

the federal prison that Morse after being
taken out of the cell was a ghastly sight
and had aged fifteen years. His mustache
had been shaved off, and he had to be
carried to the cell.

triDuted it to a few prisoners who are to
be released shortly, to help thera get a new
start. He had given some money to an
other prisoner to give to a crippled Italian
boy about to be released. The prisoner was

Labor Situation
Grows Critical
in Great Britain
Four Classes of Workers Are Involved
and Rank and File Disposed to
Regulate- Leaders.
LONDON. Sept. U. (8peclrJ Telegram. )
Labor disputes are developing rapidly In
Great Britain. Hitherto the leaders have
generally dominated the course of events,
but a peculiar feature of the present crisis
Is that the rank and file are disposed to
regulate the loaders and take affairs Into
their own hands. Formerly the danger of
Industrial war was considered to lie in the
spread of organisation; now Is It seen to
spring from the breakdown of organisation.
Four classes of workers are Involved,
They are the northern shipbuilders, the
Welsh miners, the employes of the Great
Northern railway and the cotton spinners
of Manchester. The particular body of
shipbuilders concerned are the bollermakers.
Overthrowing their leaders, they voted two
to one to tear up the arbitration agreement
In force between them and their employers,
The latter retaliated with a. lockout.
The Welsh miners and the Great Northern
railway men are also In revolt against their
leaders and their arbitration agreements.
The situation Is almost Identical In Man
chester, where the operatives of the Oldham
mill are on strike, and the employers are
declaring that unless consent is given to
arbitration by next Monday they will de
clare a general lockout to begin in October,
