HARRIMAN BESTS
STOCKS FULL
Wall Street Disappointed That
No Melons Will Be Cut
by Wizard.
SLUMP. ALL ALONG LINE
Speculators Prefer Dividends to
Improvements Already Ouess
Judge I-ovett Is Soon to
Succeed Harrlnian.
NEW YORK. Aug. K Two thousand
feet above the sea level, at his country
estate near Arden. X. Y.. Edward H.
Harriman Is resting tonight, shielded
hucinoas raros and barred from
visitors. He disappeared from the public
view in a manner no less oramauc
his display of grit upon his arrival from
Fnrnn vMtpnlHV.
It was announced at the Union Pacific
offices that he was resting quietly, ana
by telephone to Arden it was learned
that ther waa no chance In his condi
tion. Mr. Harriman has retired in the
truest sense for his 'after-cure. and
nothing is to disturb him.
Decided Slump In Stocks.
Just as tiie country eagerly read the
rubles from abroad concerning the finan
cier's health, and bought or sold stocks
accordincly. so It has gone on since the
brief glance at him yesterday. Uneasi
ness was strongly reflected today in the
stock market. With a weak opening.
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, to
gether with New York . Central, now
classed as a Harriman stock, underwent
declines at the outset under rather heavy
selling orders.
Firmness followed the first losses, but
it was only temporary, and was followed
even by greater decline as trading con
tinued and by noon nearly all nctlve
stocks were off from 2H to "i points.
Bear operators made capital of his In
terview of Tuesday Indicating that im
provements rather than dividends would
he his aim. Substantial gains were re
corded as theafternoon wore on, but the
pressure on Harriman issues made the
close irregular. Trading was not In a
remarkably large volume, but at 2 P. M.
&i.i"0 shares had been sold.
Lovett Picked as Successor.
With Mr. Harriman's permanent re
tirement from the active management of
his railroads considered at least a possi
bility, many pick Judge Robert S. Lovett.
general counsel for the Harriman lines,
as hts successon This Is mere gossip.
Judge Lovett is a native of San Jacinto,
Tex., where he was bon 49 years ago.
After entering the railroad legal field in
1S.S4, he became general counsel for the
Southern Pacific In Texas. When Mr.
Harriman took over the road he picked
Judge Lovett as a man of ability and
has since advanced him rapidly.
SAFE IX HIS MOUNTAIN" HOME
Harriman Jlecnperates at Arden.
2 500 Feet Above Sea.
ARDEN. N. Y., Aug. 25. When E. H.
Harriman awoke this morning he, for the
first time, surveyed the matchless view
of the Ramapo Valley from his magnifi
cent new home perched on a peak 2500
feet above sea level. It was dusk when
he arrived last night, electric lights were
burning and he could et no view of the
thousands of acres of mountain scenery
which he has acquired.
The convalescence of the distinguished
Invalid is a matter of conjecture. He
has decided definitely to remain at his
estate here until he has fully recovered
his normal strength, which he admits is
now at a low ebb.
The magnificence of 30 rooms, which
have been finished in the house, which
will contain more than 100. did not im
press Mr. Harriman as strongly as did
his private inclined railway, which is the
or.iy means of reaching the house on the
summit of the mountain, unless one at
tempts to make the long and tiresome
Journey by foot. After leaving the rail-
road station here, it Is necessary to drive
quite a distance before coming to the
outer line of the Harriman estate. Then
it is necessary to traverse fully five miles
of a private road belonging to Mr. Harri
man. and access to which Is given only to
those who are Invited. Then comes the
inclined railway, which is a large plat
form, capable of carrying automobiles
and horses and carriages up the steep
mountain side. It is operated by a cable
from an electric power-house, which also
provides the lighting for the estate, and
all the water required.

match and will start home Friday or
Saturday.
BY GEORGE A. WHITE.
CAMP PERRY, Ohio, Aug. 25. (Staff
Correspondence.) An Imposing spectacle
marked the opening of the National indi
vidual match here today when the 1000
picked riflmen froni, all parte of the
United States advanced in extended order
across the broad range in what was the
biggest HklrmiMi run on record.
It took but 10 runs to put the entire
force over the skirmish course, each line
being made up of 100 men. It was the
first stage in the match arid, while the
fccores remain to be announced, it ts pre
dicted that a perfect score will lead the
list. Several perfect scores, 100 points out
of 100. were made in the preliminary
practice skirmishes.
Winner Is World's Champion.
This match will settle the individual
championship of the .United States. The
man who wins will be heralded as the
be-st marksman in the country, which will
probably mean he is the best In the world,
as America leads in the matter of accu
racy In shooting. Crack shots from the
Army. Navy, Marine Corps, Annapolis,
and the National Guard organizations of
the various states are entered, as are a
number of crack civilian riflemen. Little
doubt exists that the match will be won
by a soldier, civilians seldom winning in
any of the events to which they are ad
mitted as competitors.
Every order of fire will lie used. The
skirmish run completed, rapid fire has al
ready been taken up at 200 yards. It will
be followed by slow fire at 200, 600. 800 and
1000 yards. A process of elimination will
be commenced Immediately and those
who have not made high scores in the
first stages will be eliminated when the
slow fire is taken up. The match will be
followed immediately by the National
pistol match.
AH Oregon Jlen Compete.
All the members of the Oregon team are
entered in the National individual match
and, of course. It ie possible that one of
the Oregon men will finish close to the
top. The Oregon marksmen have demon
strated their ability to hold their place
in class A and since all have been shoot
ing consistently and above center, a dash
into the money by one or more of the
Oregon men would not be in the least un
expected. Sixteen gold medals. 12 silver and 12
bronze medals will go to those making the
highest scores. That at least one of these
medals will be won by Oregon sharp
shooters is generally conceded by those
on .Xhe range who have been following
closely the work of the many teams.
Pistol Match Is Last.
The pistol match will conclude tne Na
tional matches. Only about half of the
Oregon team will remain for the pistol
match. This event will be concluded by
the end of the week. Nearly all the Ore
gon men will then start back to their
home stations. Possibly half a dozen will
remain for the matches of the National
Rifle Association of America, which fol
low the National matches.

PAULHAM BREAKS RECORD
(Continued From First Page.)
the time approached when It was evident
that he would .beat the Wright record,
the excitement was intense, the crowds
rushed out of the tribunes each time he
passed, cheering and shouting words of
encouragement. As Paulham in turn
broke the time and distance records, the
jubilation of the spectators was beyond
description. The Americans joined the
French and other foreigners in paying
tribute.
Curtiss Makes Fast Round.
Exhibition flights meanwhile were be
ing given by Sommer. LeBIane, Latham,
Rougier. Tissandier, Bleriot, Gobron and
Bunau-Varilla. and although they offered
a wonderfully impressive sight, they were
almost forgotten in the Intensity of in
terest as to how far Paulham would go.
Shortly Paulham descended near th.2
back and announced that the committee
had granted him permission to replenish
his tank on the field to permit his return
with his own power.
While they waited Glenn H. Curtiss,
the American aviator, got his machine
ready for an effort to beat Bleriot's
time of yesterday and he made a fast
round, lowering his own tim? for the 6 1-5
miles to 8 minutes 11 3-5 seconds, only 7 1-5 I
seconds behind that of Bleriot.
WikI Ovation to Paulham.
It was dark when a great cheer arose
as Paulham descended gracefully in front
of the tribunes. ." The fence was torn
down In the rush to reach him and he
was borne on the Bhoulders of some of
OR
WORLD
the most enthusiastic spectators, the
crowd escorting him to the box -of Mar
quis de Polignac. president of the com
mittee on aviation, to receive congratu
lations and to have his health drunk In
champagne.
In the midst of the mad enthusiasm
Paulham's eye rested on a face in the
crowd below. Instantly he stretched out
his arms and, turning, he broke his way
through the throng, a moment later
throwing himself Into the arms of his
wife. His mother and. father were there
to embrace and finally to carry him off
in triumph.
Paulham Is not an inventor, but simply
an operator, who tonight has taken rank
as the world's greatest professional, The
belief Is unanimous that he won the
Prix de Champagne today, although the
managers of the Wright machine inti
mate that they will have a try for it to
morrow. The final day of this event is
Friday.
The Grand Prix de Champagne carrier
the sum of ,20.000 in six prizes to aero
planes covering the greatest, distance
without taking on fresh supplies of oil or
fuel.
BIcriot. like Curtiss. had decided not
to try for the Prix de la Champagne.
He will reserve hts efforts for the In
ternational cup. which is to be contested
for Saturday and the finals of the Prix
de la Vitesse, which takes place Sunday.
The Wright managers profess to believe
that neither Bleriot nor Curtiss can ne
gotiate 30 kilometers. Curtiss has been
Invited to give exhibitions in Belgium.
Germany and England.
The committee has decided to apply
the penalty of one-twentieth of the
elapsed time to every machine that failed
to start or did not cover the distance
Sunday or Tuesday in the 30-kilometer
speed contest.-
The penalty for both days has been
imposed on Glenn H. Curtiss, the Ameri
can aviator. Both Curtiss and Bleriot
consequently will compete in the final
speed tests Sunday next with a handicap
of one-tenth against Tissandler's time,
of 28 minutes, 69 1-5 seconds, the lowest
record established by the Wright type.
Xoted American Spectators.
Among the Americans on the tribune
today were Princess Helle de Sagan. who
was accompanied by her husband: Mrs.
George Law and Mrs. John . T. Mc
Cutcheon, of Chicago. The flag of the
Aero Club of America flew today at the
shed of Mr. Curtiss. This is the first
time the emblem has been seen in
France.

CZAR'S EYE SEES ALL
SOCIALIST PAPER PROVES IT BY
PAGE OF JOURNAL.
Man Who Unmasked Azof Shows Au
tocrat Knows All Work of
Secret Police.
BERLIN, Aug. 25. Die Vorwarets, the
leading Socialist organ, prints an article
by the Russian Socialist. Burtzeff, who
unmasked the Russian spy, Azef, which
is designed to correct an Impression pre
vailing outside of Russia that the Rus
sion Emperor is not acquainted with
the objectionable methods and acts of the
Russian secret police.
Burtzeff gives a facsimile page of tha
so-called "Journal of the Czar," con
sisting of brief summaries of informa
tion prepared by the police department
solely for the monarch's eye.
Burtzeff declares that through a secret
channel he was enabled to examine three
volumes of the Journal, which show, he
says, that Emperor Nicholas is fully in
formed of everything going on in the
police administration
