Arden, N. Y. Especially Edward
H. Hartman, urged by weary rep
resentatives of the press. who have
camped about his mountain home for
week, came out Monday with a
statement that he was all right.
Though brief, the statement is
straightforward and explicit. with
perhaps a touch of patient resent
ment at the surveillance to which
ne has been subjected and requested
that the reporters withdraw, not so
mucl for his sake. but for his friends,
who have been intercepted daily
coming to and from his residence by
jealous interyiewers eager for the
latest bit of information. 1t con-
cludes thus frankly: IF there
should be anything serious / will let
the press know, and as l have never
deceived them, | ask that the press
now withdraw its representative and
rely ON me-"
The message was so characteristic
of Mr. Harriman'S affable attitude
to newspaper representatives, an at
titude which was marked when he
underwent the strain OF a lengthy
interview on the day of his return,
that most of the men who have been
here during the scare over his illness
returned to New York. relying on his
word.

Number OF Surplus.
Chicago Especially The American
Railway Association, in its fortnight
ly report on car SURPRISES and short
ages, says that there has been a
further decrease of 47,749 in the
number of surplus cars, bringing
the total down to 159,424, which is
93,759 fewer than for the correspond
ing period of 1908.
Box cars decreased 21.141 and
coal and gondolas 1928. There was
also a decrease of SPAS in miscel-
laneous cars, due principally to a
reduction in the surplus stock equip
ment. There is an increase in the
scattering shortages from 169 on Au-
gust to 2,009 on August Is.

The victory of Glenn H. Curtiss, the
sole American representative in the
contests, coming on the heels of his
great victory in the international cup,
gives the United States the lion S

The Prix de la Vitesse, of 10000

prizes, was distributed to the four
machines making three rounds of
the course, 80 kilometers, at the
greatest speed, the first prize being
won by Curtiss quite handily, not
withstanding his penalization.
Curtiss only missed winning the
lap speed contest from Bleriot by a
small margin. He captured second
place in that even, which was over
the full circle of 10 kilometers, or
6.21 miles, raising his total money
winnings for the meeting to $4,000
