NOT OVER DANGEROUS CRISIS
Persistent and Violent At tempts Are Made to Keep From the World the News of the Railway Magnate's Crucial Condition

Arden, Sept S-Rumors of Harri- mans critical condition gained renew ed currency here shortly after one o'clock this morning. At the same time a brilliant light. which heretofore burned all night, was suddenly extin- guished. Repeated calls to the teie- phone exchange gained no response.
 The $50 train on the Erie was held at Jersey City for ten minutes tonight until it was boarded by two men of professional appearance carrying leath- CT bags like medical cases. The liar riman automobile was waiting at Ard en when the express dashed through. It is believed it must have been by mis- take that it, did not stop, for as it passed. the chauffeur scorched to Turner and picked up the strangers shortly after the train left.
 The men would not say whether they were physicians or not. One employe said there were six physicians at the house Sunday night. It is believed the best specialists of the country are at the bedside.
 The lines about Arden are drawn closer tonight than any time since his relapse. Superintendent Ford sent out word that no more newspaper men will be allowed access too Dr. Lyle. either by written message or telephone. Pre- cautions are not directed against the newspaper men so much as against a group of spies sent by wall street inS terests Several of these tried to min cfa tho ,,orucnap raprpSpnfat lives this evening to learn what they knew. Though no information is of use in the stock exchange on this side or tne Atlantic after closing hour it might prove valuable in the markets abroad which open before New York morning papers are read by Wall street
 It is learned on excellent authority that Hartman has been in bed since Friday and is too weak to be moved. He is under the constant care of phy- sicians and nurses and has a high fever which is being relieved by ice packs being administered. The conclusion and alcohol baths. It is believed Oxy- gen is kept always on hand If not now is that the official Improvement" may be freely construed as a change from the crisis to state of grave danger.
 Turner. N Y, Sept. S.-Earlier re port said Hartman was better. This statement is based on the assertion today of two men closest to him, out side his immediate family. pr. Lyle said so twice His Spiritual adviser. Rev. J. H. McGuinness, made the as sertion in almost the same language - How far Hartman has improved and the precise state of his health Is still a matter of conjecture and the subject of alarming rumors.

PEARY LOCATED.
But He is Still as Hard to Reach as
 Ever

Red Bay. Labrador, via Quebec, Sept. S.-Peary, hOmeward bound on the steamer Roosevelt arrived today at Battle Harbor just above the opening of the Strait of Belle Isle and approxi- mately 65 miles above here.

ITALIAN COMMANDER
Speaks ConservativeTy and Fairly of
 the Controversy.

Rome. Sept. S.-Commander- Cagni, who was with Duke de Abruzzi on his polar expeditions said: ''That Peary would reach the pole one day, l never doubted, nor have I doubted the sin cerity of Cook, but of Peary's success I am more than convinced. "The doubts with regard to pr. Cook arise from the vagueness of his first statements. the misunderstanding regarding polar tenn perature. the position of the newly dis covered land and his apparent lack of preparation for the expedition. In judging the two explorers, the fact that the geographical and astronimical ob servations have been taken from float ing ice, the position of which alters daily increases the difficulty"

SCENIC SPECTACLE
 NEVER T|REsOME
Grand Canyon Sight IndescribabIe, Never Twice the Same-Five- Hundred Mile Chasm of
 Every Hue.

Since the first discovery of the Grand Canyon in 1540 by the early Spanish explorers no one has been able to describe this scenic wonder No language has been able to frame a description but that has seemed dwarfed and meager and a caricature of the facts Those who have stood at it's dizzy rim and looked across the miles of mist filled wales from the depths of which the roaring Colorado could be seen now and then sparkling through the rising vapors, have re- turned again and again to this great est of all spectacles to feast upon the panorama that has made the worlds writers and painters recognize that there is a Maker above all who can produce a wonder no mortal has ever been able to portray.
 On September 19, directly after the N. c. A. encampment, the Santa Fe railroad will run an excursion to the Grand Canyon from Phoenix with time limit extending to September 30. This will be the last excursion of the year and will afford the opportunity to those who would like to see the natural sight who. under ordinary cir cumstances, would feel they could not afford the trip. Many will go who have peered over the brink before. The sight of the wonderful winding chasm over 800 miles across. from the junction of the Grand and Green rivers in Southern Utah to the mouth of the Rio Nirgen, draws and redraws and never satisfies. There will be the. opportunity of stopping at the famous Fl Tovar hotel, or at the Bright Angel camp close to the dizzy. winding Angel Flight trail. over which thousands of tourists travel astride burros every year.

NEW COMMISSIONS ARE
RECOMMENDED BY SPRY

The following is part OF the COVER.
nor's message TO the legislature. rec
cmmending the creation OF commits
SONS:
AT the conference of governors on
the conservation OF the natural re-.
sources OF the United States held at
the White House, Washington, D. c.,
In May, 1908, a National Conservation
Commission was provided for and the
governors Of all the states were asked
10 appoint commissions to cooperate
with the feredal commission In this
very important work
There Is need OF a more careful con-
servation OF the natural resources OF
our country. The creation OF a state
commission for that purpose is now a
necessity. which commission should
cooperate with the federal govern
ment and inquire into the condition OF
our natural resources; prevent as far
as possible the waste and destruction
of the natural wealth of the state and
promote the greatest good to the great
est number in the use thereof; IN
crehse our forest bodies for the future
good of the people; conserve and de-
velop the water supply and generally
do everything possible IN the way Of
conserving the natural resources of the
state and nation. II Is not the inten-
ton to have this commission interfere
with. or limit the wise and proper de-
velopment and application OF these
resources but to devise ways to use
them so as to distribute the enjoyment
OF our natural wealth
/. therefore, recommend the creation
of a state commission on the conserva-
ton Of natural resources, to consist of
three members who shall serve with.
out compensation.
Insurance Commissioner.
The work entailed in handling the
insurance matters OF the state has
grown in volume and Importance. The
secretary of state, under whose direc-
tion this work has been carried on in
the past, is unable to give to insurance
matters that attention which its i'm
portance demands. owing to the many
other duties imposed upon him In view
OF this fact, and in keeping with the
policy Of other states In this particular,
l respectfully recommend the creation
OF state insurance commission.

COUNTRY is REAL AMERICA.
Great Cities Do Not WorthIly Repre-
sent tho Nation.

One of those sent to the couttry this
summer by a New York fresh-air mis-
sion was 14-year-old Hungarian boy.
His parents. when they came to
America. had remained in the city
where they landed. They lived IN
sQualid poverty. The father, mother
and four children all slept In a small
room lighted by single window open
Ing on foul-smelling alley. The boy
played In the streets, and had to
dodge the club of the policeman who
strove to keep order in the over
crowded district
In the country he found the open
fields to play In, with no policeman TO
interfere, He saw the people friendly,
helpful and sympathetic, living their
lives in comfort and independence.
When / get home I'll tell them I've
found the real America" he remarked
one day
He was not far from the truth. The
America which has drawn hundreds Of
rope is not the America which they
find In the densely populated cities.
For the foreign-born poor, or the no
tive poor. either, the large city. with
It's fierce competition. is a hard place
In which to live.
The real France is not Paris. One
has to go outside OF London TO find
the real England. The Germany that
is growing rich and powerful is big
ger thing than Berlin And the real
America is not discovered In her great
cities. The ideals OF the big city
are not the ideals toward which the
,nation Is striving. and their standard
OF living is not the standard which
appeals to the people at large. Amer
lea Is ruled from the homes and the
1resides of the smaller communities
and from the farmhouses on the hills
and in the valleys of the east and tho
south and on the plains OF the west.
Most OF the statesmen who control
congress are country-born and coun-
try-bred. The issues on which cleo
tions arc decided are those which
seem vital to the plain, everyday man,
living the natural life OF the less pop
ulous districts.
That immigrant is to be congratu-
lated who discovers where the real
America lies; and that rural Amer
lean who knows that he lives where
the destinies OF the nation are shaped
is in no danger Of losing bis poise or
OF growing discontented with his lot
