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. .

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.

(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 mea with whom he Jserved for more than a quarter at a cenuiry. Preparations aVe being made by Adjutant General Newton to reorganise the Ranger aervlce. A place will ba made for Captain MoDonald, and it (' 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 eral days after hs had received his ap pointment. Governor Campbell heard of It and called him into his office. "Bill, I hear you are still wearing your runs, sekl the governor. Admiral Young is for a Navy Yard Wanti Some Point on the Southern Coast Designated Where Warships May Be Handled. 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.

More Information regarding the confinement of Charles W. Morse, the fomer New York banker. In the "cooler' solitary confinement, has become known here today. Despite Warden Meyers report to the government to the contrary. It has been learned that Morse was put In soli tary confinement and kept on a diet . of bread and water for two days, and having been taken out of the dungeon, hs col lapsed In his cell and had to be carried to the hospital ward. It was said today by one connected with 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. The offense for which Morse was put In the "cooler" was that he received money from persons on the outside and had dls 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 seen slipping the money to ''le Italian boy and when questioned where the money came Irom, admitted It was Morse who was supplying It Morse was then sent for by Deputy Wsrden Harrison and confeased to having money.

More Graft in the Illinois Central 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, RECENT ORDERS FOR THE ARMY Movements of Officers of the Forces la I'ncle Sara's Flghtlng Corpa.
