100000 ON HARRImAN's LIFE.
Investors in Securities Move to Protect
Their Holdings.

New York. July 23.-Dr. c. A. Nixon,
arrived here from abroad, said that Mr..
Harriman's health had greatly i'm
proved since he went to Europe and
that the financier was in good condi-
tion when he left him at Bad Gastein,
Austria.
"Mr. Hartman is man accustomed
to a long days work." said DR. Dixon,
"and he needed a vacation. He decided
some time ago, long before he sailed
to take rest abroad. All he needed
was rest. He has taken it, and it
has done him a world of good When
he went on lbs last trip to the west he
planned his present trip to Europe
There is absolutely no truth in the re.
port that he is suffering from spina
trouble. The ligaments of his back
We're trif1e stiff for a short time, but
that has all passed away"
From another source it was said to-
day that Mr. Hartman, instead OF
obeying the orders of his physicians
that he must take complete rest from
business cares in order to recover COM
pletely his health, is conducting i'm
mense financial and railroad transac-
tions by cable from Bad-Gastein, where
he has been taking the cure.
The biggest gambling game in the
world today is not being played at
Monte Carlo or any similar resort, but
in the quiet, quaint village where Mr..
Hartman is seeking to regain his
health. More than a million dollars, it
is learned. are staked by frightened
hnanclers here and abroad on the Lit
tie Wizards" life.
What unlocked this secret was the
news that pool of WaM street oper-
ators had just taken out 100000 pol
: icy on the railroad cZar's existence. So
anxious We're they to secure this in
surance that they paid $4,000 for its
protection, altho the policy runs but
one year.
Brokers in this city who accept pol
icies for the Lloyds of London say that
the tremendous speculation in Harri-
man securities or in other stocks and
! bonds which would inevitably suffer
in case of the railroad magnate's death
was due to the fever to gamble on his
death.

BY[RS SHOWS TEETH
1O HIS CRITICS
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES
cAUsTlc AND LENGTHY oPlN-
CON ON MOON LAW.
SAYS INTENT OF LAW
MUST OF NECESSITY GOVERN
Effort to Word Bill So That No Hard
ships Would BE EntaIed Caused
Ambiguous Wording - Tells Critics
That He Must Follow tho Statutes in
Interpreting Now Laws.
Special to Times-Republlcan.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, July 23.-Attorney Gen.
eral Byers today gave out a ten-page
'typewritten decision on the Moon law.
in which he shows his teeth in sew
eral places and suggests to the news
papers and others who have criticized
his informally announced opinion of
some days ago that he must depend
upon the opinion of the judges of the
supreme court and the writer's of text
books upon the statutory construction
to guide him in his decision.
Byers Shows His Teeth.
He shows his teeth by saying that he
gave out the opinion because it was
asked for both by saloonkeepers and
county attorneys, representing in a
way both sides of the controversy, and
in the hope of being ah7e TO state the
case so clearly that the holders of IL
legal permits would surrender them
voluntarily and so 1t would not be
necessary to prosecute in court.
At the close he shows his teeth again
by saying that until the courts hold
contrarily his department will proceed
upon the theory that saloon permits
given after April Is are Illegal where
/ they exceed the population limitation
AS To Legislatures Intent.
! General Byers states that had the
sponsor of the bill in the legislature
! said it was the intention to allow city
councils to grant all the permits they
wished after April Is the bin wonld
have been thrown out of the window
but that the amendment was clearly tc
prevent any hardships where the num-
ber already exceeded the limination
He says to hold otherwise would make
the act mere trick and give 1t ar
absurd and ridiculous effort. He quote.
from one decision as follows:
ut is canon of the construction
remedial statute that three thing
are to be considered, the old law tn
mischief and the remedy-that Is. how
the law stood at the making of th
last: what the mischief was for which
the law did not provide, and VIVA
remedy for this mischief has been pro.
vided; and 1t Is the business of ih'
courts so to construe the act as tc
suppress the mischief and advance III,
| remedy.
How Laws May Be Construed.
He further quotes to the effect tina
an Interpretation that would lead tf
consequences mischlevous and absurt
is inadmissaNe If the statute is sus.
ceptible of any other interpretations
He quotes further from the statute!
that laws regulating the liquor bust
ness must be construed by the court
and jurors so as to prevent evasion.

it could have said so he says that If ;h'
