New York. Sept. 1.-Two beliefs
concerning the death of Edward III.
Hartman came to be accepted as
facts-irst, that his great railroad or
ganization will not be disturbed; sec.
ond. that he was a victim of cancer.
That the financial world had thor
oughly discounted the great mans
death and d~issipated all fear OF a
panic was attested by one of the most
remarkable scenes in the history or
the New York Stock Exchange. There,
instead of a downward movement OF
stocks, q sensational and spectacular
advance occurred, while in London and
Berlin railroad and industrial securi-
ties showed unusual strength. In all
quarters, paradoxical as il may seem.
the so-called Hartman stocks were
strong, and those of a speculative
turn who went short" on the theory
that heavy declines would follow Mr..
Harriman's death, suffered untold
losses.
Diagnosed Illness as Cancer.
AS to the cause of the fnancier's
death, DR.. w. G. Lyle. of this city, who
was with him to the end, has issued
no statement. But there came by cable
from a Vienna specialist, who treated
Mr.. Hartman while abroad, a state
ment that he was suffering with can
Ger. The specialist had so diagnosed
1t, he said. and had indicated that IN
operation might be advisable. The
general belief is that no operation was
performed after Mr.. Harriman's re-
turn TO Arden, but wheAer this was
the result of his weakened condition
or his refusal to submit to the knife
may be but conjectured.
The Kuhn-Loeb National City bank
interests will continue to act as the
chief financial agents of the Hartman
lines, but just who will assume the
head of his vast affairs Is quite a mat
ter Of speculation. II is generally I'M
derstood that Jacob Fl. Schif and
Judge r. s. Lovett will divide between
them the financing of the Hartman
roads and the running of the complex
organization built by Mr.. Hartman.
while others whose shoulders will bear
part of the burden are julius G. Krutt-
schnitt, vice president of the Southern
Pacific road, and director of mainte-
nance and operation of the Hartman
lines; Frederick d. Underwood, presi-
dent of the Erie; John C. Stubs. the
traffic manager of the Hartman lines;
l. l.. Loree, president of the Delaware
& Hudson; William F. Herrin. of San
Francisco. an astute lawyer. and VII
liam Hood. chief engineer of the
Southern Pacific.

pionship of the world after I had fought four rounds with Young Cor bett
 Though I felt confident when I stepped into the ring with this great slugger. I knew that I had a job be- fore me. You can take it from me that Corbett gave me an awful fight for the first few rounds. If the de- cision had been given on points at the end of the fourth round I guess he would have been the victor. was stalling around, however, to find out wherein he was weak.

The fight enthusiasts of San Francisco had been won over to my side long ere this, and a week before the fight 1t was common gossip in the town that I would again beat down the coast champion. Their predictions proved only too true. Corbett made very fair showing with me in the early rounds only. I knocked him down in the fourth round, and as he was taking the count I went over to him and told him to ''get up" and not go down until he was hit. Corbett was infuriated by my taunting him and arose enraged like a wildcat. He swung a hard right into my body and broke one of my ribs. and to this day have a large lump there as a souvenir of this battle. That was the worst punch that I ever took.

To Preserve Zack TayIor's Tree.


 Passengers on the new railroad which has been built through the most southern part of Texas are able to catch fleeting glance of one of the most historic landmarks on the lower Rio Grande border as the train passes by Standing like a sentinel in a large cattle pasture a short distance from the railroad Is a live oak tree with wide-spreading branches under which Gen. Zachary Taylor was camped for several days while on his way to fight the Mexicans in the lat. ter '40's.
 It Is now planned to incloss the tree with an ornamental fence and to beautify the spot. The first battle of the Mexican war was fought by Gen. Taylor's army and force of Mexicans at point about 65 miles south of here. This battlefield has just been converted into an irrigated farm. In clearing and blowing the land many cannon balls and other relics of the fight were found.
