R1EW YORK, Sept. 9.-Following ex-
N pressions of regret on Mr.. Har-
ri,,oon,s doo+b WaJ1 -4noa4 -.

R1EW YORK, Sept. 9--Following ex-
pressions of regret on Mr.. Har-
riman's death, Wall street con-
sidered it's effect on the properties
under his control and the financial
world generally.
1t was pointed out that Mr.. Harri-
mans friends and the leaders of the
financial world generally have known
for some months that his malady was
incurable and that it was only ques-
ton of time until he would be forced
to lay down the active direction of the
great railroad fabric he has built up
Therefore, it was assumed that un-
doubtedly ample preparations had
been made for the eventuality OF his
deaf hor retirement. Mr.. Harriman's s
death comes at time when in gen
eral the business of the country is in
excellent condition. When the gen
death or retirement. Mr.. Harriman's s
could not long continue his active ca
reer, Wall street had already made
ready for the end. There was no
alarm when the announcement came.
On the contrary, there was a feeling
or security and even of serenity.
There was some talk among the
leaders of finance about informally
conferring but even this was deemed
unnecessary. Such prominent figures
as j. P. Morgan, Jacob HI. Schiff,
James Stillman and George w. Per-
kins went to their various homes
without concerted action. 1t is be-
lieved by Mr.. Harriman's associates
that the railroad system which he or
ganized and carried forward to such
degree of success will be continued
with practically no change of policy
and that plans to that end were per-
fected by Mr.. Hartman long before
his death
There were numerous reports con-
cerning the status of the vast proper
ties under Mr.. Harriman's direction.
One was that his securities had
been trusteed and were held intact for
the greater safety of his estate from
the properties concerned.
Recent estimates of Mr.. Harrimans
personal wealth have varied all the
way from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000.
He was, of course, a large holder of
securities of the various corporations
with which he was identified Report
credited him with large personal hold
ings in the Atchison, Topeka &, Santa
Fe road Baltimore & Ohio, Delaware
& Hudson, Erie, Illinois Central, New
York Central and Pacific Mail Steam
ship company.

Delui11g Into Tragic
Death of Detroit Girl
DR.. George Fritch Lea0es Office of
Chief of Detectives, Trembling
Like a Windbzown Leaf

nETROIT, Sept. 9.-Dr. George
U Fritch, held by the authorities in
connection with the tragic death
of Maybelle Millman of Ann Arbor,
was taken this morning into the Of
fees Of Captain of Detectives McDon-
nell and subjected to severe exami-
nation.
When DR.. Fritch emerged from
Captain McDonnell's office, he was
trembling from head to foot. He was
hurriedly escorted to his cell and
permitted to see no one.
1t was learned later that the police
obtained the information upon which
the doctor was apprehended from Miss
Martha Henning, Miss Millman's
chum.
She is declared to have admitted in
DR.. Fritch's presence that she accom-
panied Maybelle to his Office and that
she had never seen the girl since
She has also said that she knew why
Maybelle came to Detroit to face the
consequences of her misstep, but
steadfastly denied knowledge as to
the identity of the other party who is
sought in connection with the tragedy
EARLY today Sheriff CASTOR received

word from Postmaster Prettyman at
Ann Arbor, revealing the name of a
young man in Detroit who sent money
in letter to Miss Maybelle Millman,
whose body was found in Ecorse
creek
The man now sought, the sheriff
and Captain of Detectives Mcdonnell
declare, was Immediately connected
with the cast last night following the
apprehension of DR.. George A. Fritch,
who is held at police headquarters as
a suspect.
DR.. Fritch was taken into custody
after Martha Henning, Maybelle Mill
mans boon companion, was brought
to Detroit from Ann Arbor, and told
more to the authorities concerning
Miss Millman's mysterious movements
in Detroit than she had heretofore re-
vealed.
DR.. Fritch was arrested several
years ago in connection with the
death of Miss Edith Presley of Ian
sing. Mich, at the Hope sanitarium in
Detroit. Later, however, he was re-
leased.

awarded in cash prizes at the Inter-
national Dry Farming exposition
which will be held in connection with
the congress.
These important announcements
were made in telegram received by
the secretary of the congress.
Ever since the possibilities of de-
veloping the western country by dry
farming methods was demonstrated
the Great Northern Railroad company
officials have been hearty in their
support of movements which would
tend to advance the science of agri-
culture and on several recent occa-
sions Mr.. Hill has publicly announced
his faith in western agricultural de-
velopment. Being a believer in agri-
culture as the foundation of the ma
tion's prosperity, he has taken ad-
vantage of every opportunity to en-
courage progress along this line, es-
pecially in the northwest. When the
Dry Farming congress was secured
for Billings and the center of it's
activity was brought into the terri
tory for which the Hills roads are
the outlet, Mr.. Hill gave substantial
evidence of his approval of the Dry
Farming congress by subscribing ST.
900 for the work being carried on
from the Billings headquarters.
Some time ago, when the national
corn show at Omaha was receiving
considerable financial support from
the western railroads, Mr.. Hill gave
$1,000 to be divided into smaller
sums for cash prizes for exhibits at
the Omaha exposition. About that
time the exhibit committee of the
Montana board of control of the Dry
Farming congress called his attention
to the exposition which is to be the
feature of the meeting here next
month. He was asked to give this
international gathering the same con-
sideration as that accorded the corn
show. Since then, Mr.. Hill has been
considerably in the west and has Civ
en- personal attentiont the develop
ment of the territory along his lines.
Yesterday he announced the offer of
money for premium.
In line with the policy of securing
men of national prominence, especial
ly those identified with the greater
development of the west, to appear
before the congress at Billings as
speakers, Secretary Burns sent a
personal invitation to Mr.. Hill to ad-
dress the meeting at Billings.
Yesterday the response sto this in

Sharp Aduance in
the rice of
Beef

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Best grades of
dressed beef reached a level that has
not been attained in years when the
prices of No. l ribs and loins were
raised 19c and &c, respectively, yes
terday. This upturn, combined with
the rise reported last week, brought
No. / ribs to IS cents a pound and
No. 1 loins to p cents pound. A
year ago the same grades of ribs sold
at 17% cents a pound, while loins
were quoted at Is cents.
Packers claimed that the shortage
in receipts of cattle was responsible
for the increased cost of dressed beef
products and to substantiate their as
sertions, referred to statistics COM
piled by the Union Stockyard and
Transit company showing falling off
of approximately of 100000 head in
receipts of cattle for the year to date.

V. Milmo, from Monterey to Cruz, for

to the congress will be heard with

canoe that must attack to the public

KILLING REPORTED

MILES CITY, Sept. 9.-As
near as can be determined
here George Mitchell, cattle
and horse owner, whose ranch
is at Selway postoffice on Big
Pumpkin creek, has been kill
ed in some sort of range diff
ficulty with other ranchers.
That man was killed in that
country, about 80 miles south
of Miles City, is certain but
some confusion has been caus-
ed by difference in names
conveyed in several kilograms
received here in connection
with the matter Two tele-
grams give the name of George
Nichols, but no one of that
name lives there as far as is
known. In the other message,
