Arden, N. Y., Sept. 9. -E. H.
lUrrlman. financier and railroad
iking, died thU afternoon. He had
been 111 for many months from a
complication of (lineages, chief of
which were a partial paralysis of
' ; the fitomach aud Intestinal cancer.
Mr. Ilarrlman has failed rapidly
for several daye and though a bul
letin was Issued today by Dr. Lyle
saying briefly that his condition was
unchanged, he Boon sank and dlod
shortly before 4 o'clock In the af
ternoon. Rumors of his death had
; troubled the stock market for two
hours before his death actually
came. . ' .. -

- Ardcn, N. Y., Sept. S. After lingering
at the lowest ebb of life following a
relapse-' after his desperate efforts to
regain nis health, K H. Harriman, the
railroad king, succumbed today to the
' illness which sunt him to Europe this
summer hi a fruitless search for health.
Knr Aavs.tlie death watch had been
kept upon the chateau here, but the doc
' tora and member of the family have
constantly held back all bad news that
could be withheld.
The news of the railroad kings death
vii first made known through the of
fices of the Union Pacific railroad in
New York city.
The union- Pacific nas a aireci wi
'connection with the Harriman cnaieau
and the officials in New York have kept
la constant touch with the condition of
the dying: magnate.
it ia renorttd that Harriman died ear-
Her In the day aud the news was wlth-
. jielfl until arier mo atoca mrim cto.
The official announcement waa not
made, however, until s:oo ocjock ana
at that t.me the New York exchango
had been closed 56 minutes.
- f United Preu Leased Wire. )
Ban Francisco. Sept. 9. "The news
ef Mr. Harrlman's death came as a
great shock to ail the officials here,
as we had all hoped and believed that
. he would pull through," said Vice Presi
dent and General Manager Calvin of the
Southern ' Pacific Railroad company at
'the general offices here this afternoon.
In a statement to the United Press,
Calvin said:
"The news came In the form of a
hrlef telpgT&m merely stating that Mr.
Harriman had died,
i "Mr. Harriman was known personally
to all the officials here and his death
, Is felt as a keen personal Iobs.
"When tie was here last April, Mr.
Harriman met and talked with all the
officials. At that time he seemed to
be in goo health and It Is as he ap-
reared then that w will all remember
him.
"1 cannot put In words the tribute I
'Would pay as a leader of railroad men,
tmt I can say that I consider him to
have been the greatest .railroad man
America has produced.
"The attacks upon Harriman at va
rious times have been entirely without
, foundation, v -
who knew him knew that his
purposes were right and true, and that
"he was always endeavoring to the best
t fling- in a big way.
"The attacks were not only often the
result Of his being placed In circum
stances that grave the public an incor
rect view or nis purpose, nut also orten
' the result of malicious enmity. No man
who knew Harriman as we -knew him
here ever could have been -misled for
-an tnstanr by any such statements as
were made against him. I believe that
all the attacks upon him were unjusti
fied. "On his last trip to the coast In April.
ie stopped In Los Angeles. San Diego.
Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and at
Burlingame, in addition to his trip to
this city.
I "Of course, I cannot make any state
ment as to the effect of Mr. Harrl
.man's death upon his properties. The
future plans will be formed, of course,
by the owners of the property." "
Calvin, was asked- if there would be
any changes that could be anticipated,
and he said that he knew of none.
Calvin said that he had never heard
Harriman sneak of the proposed ocean-to-ocean
railroad, which is said to have
been the magnate's great dream.
Engineer Ralph Modfeakl will super
intend the cunstruvllun tf the new
Broadway brlrixa.

he had received applications from sev
eral engineers, among whom were Mr.

VETERANS ASSURE
TAFT OF LOYALTY
(Special Dlimtco to The Journal.)
Tacoma. Wash.. Sept. 9. The first
business transacted by the Hnanish-
Amerlcan war veterans in national en
campment in the state armory was the
sending of the following telegram to
i-resiaeni rait:
"William H. Taft, President of the
United States, Greeting I am instructed
by the Spanish. War Veterans in con
vention assembled to convey their greet
ings to the president of the United
States and the commander In chief of
the army and navy, with assurance of
their love and loyaltv and deep appre
ciation of the respect you have shown
to the veterans.,
"CHARLES W. NEWTON,
"Commander in Chief."
Colonel Edward G. Glhen of Boston
was elected commander in 'chief for the
ensuing year. He was practically chosen
by acclamation. Joseph Jacoby of Se
attle Was placed in nomination, but
withdrew at the last moment In favor
of the eastern candidate.
The big parade will occur this after
noon at 4 o'clock.
Denver will be the net meeting
place, that havinar been alrearlv ar

SLOIV PROCESS
GETTING JURY
Just why this spectacular activity on
the part of Hecelvar Devlin to hold the
former officers of the Oregon Savings
& Trust company up as bold criminals,
who by their owu actions ruined the
Oregon Savings at Trust compii.iy, at
the tall end of his receivership, when he
has had two years In which to get
them"?
This Is the question that comes from
many who figure prominently In the
case. District Attorney Cameron, for
Instance. Deputy District Attorney
r Itxgerald, for another Instance. Others
could be named, but In the language
of the discouraged rooster who leaned
up against the fence and murmured,
Yen tenia y we Were an egg, tomorrow
we are a feather duster."
W hat s the user
Some accuse the receiver of making a
grandstand play, his purpose being to
seek sn extension of time in which to
close up his work. By order of court he
must nave nis nnai report ready f euru

the depositors, says in so many words:
"Receiver Devlin would not have
done what he has done, eveu at thla
time. If I had not got after hi in with a
sharp stick and prodded blm into ac

Ten days ago Mr. Gruber. just before
leaving the city, wrote Receiver Devlin
a pertinent letter asking for informa
tion. Among other things, he said:
"During- the talk that 1 had with you

of the property, or that the capital stock
of the bank was not paid In to that

Its failure."
Mr. Devlin sent Mr. Gruber a list of
the stockholders of the bank at the
time of Its organisation, falling to ex
plain wnetner the list was intact at tlie
time of the failure
Question No. 2. from Mr. Gruber was:
You also stated that there were notes

Mr. Gruber's third question was: "You

In answer to question three, Mr. Dev

Steamer Teal,
This afternoon when the Open Rlrer
Transportation company's qteamer J. N.
Teal arrives she will have on hoard the
first shipment this season of sheep from
tne uoldendale district and rrom lyie.
This shipment consists of 1000 head
whieh are being shipped down here to
the markets. ,
'in is shlDment will be the bea-tnnina-
or many which win ronow during the
season, as there are said to be a very
large number coming from that section
this year, and it Is. estimated, according,
to Dorsey B. Smith, general manager
of the company, that there will be any
where between 12,000 and 15,000 head
of sheep shipped! out of the Goldendale
ana Lyie districts this season. Of this
large number, the Open River Transpor
tation company expects to receive Its
rair snare, and during the course of the
season they will undoubtedly bring
down many more large shipments, as the
sheep are easily cared for on board of
a steamer. On her trip down from The
uaues tsaruraay tne J. is. Teal will
bring down another lot of about 1200
head.
Mr. Smith said yesterday afternoon
that work on the new bridge which Is
being built by the Open River Trans

Mr. Gruber's fourth auestlnn: "You
also made the statement that the total
Income of the Oregon Trust & Savings
bank from date of organization to date
of closing amounted to $102,979.01, and
that the expense account for same
period of time amounted to $155,773.94.
and thtft during this period of time
large amounts of this exnensp ncrnnnt
or disbursement were charged off In
lump sums without any explanation.
Let me have all Information In connec
tion therewith that you have."
Mr. Devlin answered: "The totol
credits to account 'Interest nra Aim.
count' during life of bank was $120,
055, and total debits to expense was
$170,752. showing loss of over $50,000,
but It should be remembered that
very large portion of credits of inter
est and discount were fictitious. This
account waa credited with discounts on
telephone bonds. Pacific & Eastern
railway bonds and others of like char
acter carried on the books at par. when.
in laci, iney cost less, were worth
less, and Instead of representing an
earning did represent a loss. If such
credits to interest and discount were
eliminated it would show the actual
loss very much greater."

When the water gets to about the 12

made of brush and rock, are very often

The return of Peary In 18 davs to
the exact spot whence he started la to
my mind a remarkable reat.
The fact that lVLarvln was with the
supporting party leads me to believe
tnat MCMinan was tne only wnite man
with Peary when he made the final
dash.
I must admit, however, that Peary's

In travelling nearer the pole confirms
Cook's speed statements. I am con
vinced, however, from the tone of
Peary's message that he has In his
possession facts that will prove that
Dr. Cook Is wrong In his belief that he
reached the pole.

Copenhagen, Sept. 9. The great speed
that Commander Peary attained In his
dash for the pole Is Interpreted by Dr.
Frederick A. Cook as being one link
In his chain of proof that he also
reached the north pole. Dr. Cook today
saiu:
'Peary's figures are not Incredible.
and he could easily have made the dis
tance over smooth lee. it is not my
purpose to enter Into a discussion re
garding Peary's trip, regardless of what
he says about me.
"1 shall wait until a scientific in
vestigation vindicates my every state
ment, ine point i wisn to nring out
is that Peary attained a speed even
greater than mine." ,
Dr. cook caned artenuon to tne criti
cism of himself because of his failure
to give a detailed statement of his trip,
and points out that peary Mas told less.
Dr. Cook leaves this afternoon for

two boxes I waa completely cured ana
shaving does not interfere with it what

I am now a well man both in body and
