Angeles, Calf, yesterday afternoon
at O'Clock, Ike Davis, popular mer-

IMMEDIATE DANGER DIsPELs
ALL FEARS

Arden, N. Y, Aug. 30.-The trend
of opinion regarding E. H. Harriman's
condition was demonstrated today by
a relaxation of the intense interest
the community has displayed on that
subject. Another Indication was the
thinning of the ranks of the news
paper men who rushed here Friday
when Wall street was first startled
by report that the financier was
about to undergo critical opera
ton.
One thing is certain and that is
on Friday one noted specialist, and
perhaps several specialists, held a
consultation at Arden What their
verdict was can only be conjectured,
but If they came to consider an
| Immediate operation they decided
against it. Hartman seems to be in
no immediate danger, but his life
must be regulated with extreme care.
Employees of the estate who came
down today said that Hartman ap-
peared on the porch this morning in
an adjustable reclining chair and
spent some time in the sun. They
said he had a restful night and was in
good spirits.
Stocks Show Strength.
Reassuring news regarding Harri-
mans condition strengthened the
stock market. The market took its
tone from the Union Pacific move
ment today, which by midday had
been marked up five points from Sat
urday's closing level. The renewed
upward movement in other stocks did
not keep pace with Union Pacific,
however, but was orderly and de-
liberate. There was some abatement
in the demtnd for stocks late today.
Union Pacific, after touching $2O2 S-4.
fell back and affected the whole mar
ket. Trading became very dull, but
there were no signs of weakness.

TAFT Will WORRY ALONG
WITHOUT ORMSBY M'HARG

There is no one in Beverly willing
to say that Mr. McHarg's resignation
was in any wise the result of the in
terview published in Washington last
week in which he is credited with
saying some sharp things about for
mer President Roosevelt and his po-
licy of forest conservation.
Mr. McHarg was quoted as saying
the policy was too dream-like to ever
be of particular value. Mr.. McHarg
is said to have grown quite bitter
over the free manner in which some
of the government officials in Wash
ington, generally known as the
Roosevelt element" have been crifi
cising members Of the Taft admins
tration. Consequently he is reported
to have expressed his own views ra
ther forcibly and the controversy
started by Chief Forester Pincho1
with Secretary Ballinger is declared
here to be growing to such proper
tons that the president will have Il
take a hand and put the governmen
house in order.
