FUNERAL PLANS COMPLETE


 night by pr. w. c. Lyle. of New York. his physician. in the death cer- tificate filed at the town clerks ofiice at Highland Mills
 There was no mention of cancer, but # was ns-:en that the word "crtef' was inserted in the prfuted form after the Quuestion cause of death." Pop uiarly interpreted. anaemia is an im- poverished conditiontof the blood; per- nicious anaemia therefore is a severe form of the disease. Oedema of the lungs. Or water in the lungs. the in- depreciation generally accepted, might have resulted from . variety of oAuses. Trs
 $ Immediately after the death csrtif- cate was filed. a burial permit was granted. During the day Dr. Lyle had filed less specific certificate with the undertakes.
 Dr. Lyle also states positively that in the certificate with the town clerk that Mir. Harriman's death occurred at s:s5 D. m on September 9. The certificate is attested by Walter Aver ell Hartman. Mr. Harrirnan's eldest son.
 Mr.. Harriman.s age at the time of his death was given as sixty-one years six months and hfteen days aad 1t was set forth that he had lived in Arden for twenty-one years.
 Clerk Was Dfssatisfied.
 Dr. Ly1ess actfou in ampiyifying on the certificate fiIed with the under taker, smooIhed over what might have develope5 into q hitch at the funeral because the town clerk was dtssatis- fed with the insuficieacy of the pre- vtous statement.
 pr. Lyle in setting on paper the r. s~ at 2.Q seems to have dissipated the report which was accepted for s while that he died at 1:3o but that the news was held back until after tho close of the New York stock exchange.
 The fact that cancer is not mentt0m- cd also coincfdes with pr. LyIe's de- niai O fthe truth oe statement cred- ited to aFvienneses specialist that he had diagnosed the hnaneisr.s aiinent while abroad as caacsr-
 .Rernicious anaemia." which pr. 19f. Harrifnkf's death. is disease which in nearly all recorded cases has resulted fatally. The patisFlt Is gep- eraliy sniddie aged and there is noth- Irg te, account for the di$easA.
 The treatment uguaA'g ineludas the administration of oxygen and limiting tfie diet to simple foods 1n this re- spect 1t will be recalled that there were several reports that oxygen Twas giv- en to MT. Harriman on various occas- tons. His appearance and manner also upon the day, of his return from Eu- rope seemed to agree with the appear ance of ono suffering from the disease
 Wili Attend Funefal.
 Between fifty and sixty of the coun- try's most prominent men including financiers. lawyers, physicians and men well-kEown In the business world will attend the funeral of Edward 1T. Har- riman tomorrow. They wlil come from New York on a special train. leaving Jersey City ct 2 ?. m. At St. Johns Episcopal church little stone chapel which nestles in the reckoning Sep tember foliage near the foot of Tower Hill they will join the group of mourn CTS who will have accompanied the funeral procession from Arden house.
 Several hours before the Hartman carriages bearing the arriving men of prominence came up from Arden sta tion, a procession of a very different kind will march slowly over the road leading to the uncompleted palace on the hill. It will be composed of the 800 workmen employed on the Harri- man estate, and at o'clock in the morning they will be permitted to file through the room where lies the body of the man of whom one of them said today:
 At times he seemed a workman like ourselves-tust an elder workman whom we cared a good deal about"
 No precautions have been omitted to protect the funeral car on its way down the hill. Although the road has been smoothed to perfection, six teen of the most stalwart workmen were selected today to act as guard of honor. They will walk on either side of the hearse and the carriages containing the mourners.
 VIII Be Communion Service.
 The ceremony at the house at 10 c. m will be a communion service, com ducted by the family chaplain. Rev. Dr. !. Holmes McGuiness. for mem- bers of the family only.

 Nnanes of Flowers.
 It fs estimated that the flowers al- readv received and yet to come will fIi four freight cars. There was a steady stream of carriages and auto- mohiles bringing the tributes up to Arden house from early morning until late, this afternoon, when Mrs. Harri- man ordered that all additional floral trIhutas he sent direct to the church moves ana baskets of flowers accumu-
