CHERBOURG, France, Aug. 18.
All doubt of the serious condition of
Edward H. Harriman was removed
today when the railroad King was
carried aboard the liner Kaiser Wil-
helm. Harriman was apparently
too weak to walk, and his appearance
indicate the trip in search of health
has been a failure. He attempted to
veil the evidence of weakness so he
wouldn't affect the stock market He
said:
"I am not In a serious condition
at all. The baths at naagasiein
weakened me, and the German food
disagreed with me."
Harriman was accompanied by his
wife and two daughters, a son, a pri
vate secretary and three servants.
He arrived in a special train, from
Paris. His weakness and lassitude
were shown when he was helped
from his private car and lifted to a
chair rolled to the tender and taken
to the steamer. It was clear he was
unable to walk. It is Intimated he
would retire to his country place at
the Arden, Ny., when he reaches
America.
