MONEY FOR WIDOW.
Mrs. Hartman Is Made Only Benefi-
cary in Will

IfdFf IN WIFI
New York, Sept. IA hundred
brief words, weighted each with ap-
proximately 81, 900, 900 and containing
in their entirety the last testament of
E. H. Hartman. given out yesterday,
make his widow, Mary Averill Harri-
man, one of the wealthiest women in
the world.
1t perhaps is the briefest will on re-
cord for the disposal of an estate of
such magnitude. All his property is
left to Mrs. Hartman. Wall street
estimates that Mrs. Hartman will in
herit in realty and personal property
between $75, 600, 900 and S100, 900, 600.
Mr.. Harriman's private fortune ia sup
posed to have been greater than this
by many millions, but there is reason
to believe that his unmarried daugb-
ters, Mary and Carol; his married
daughter, Mrs. Robert Livingstone
Query; and his two sons, William
Averil and Roland, a boy of ID, to-
gether with his surviving sister, Mrs.
Simons, and other relatives. have all
been substantially provided for with
gifts out of hand.
The will is dated June 8, 1908, and
is witnessed by Charles A. Peabody,
president of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, who drew it, and C. C. Tege-
thoff. Mr.. Peabody was Mr.. Harri-
mans close personal friend.
Mr.. Hartman. by making no be-
quests to children or relatives, avoided
the large share of the enormous inner
itance tax which, under the laws of the
state of New York, would otherwise be
imposed.

Washington, September 2l.-~As a RI.
auls of the Pinohot Dailinger row, the
administration may later determine 10
recommend ths transfer Of the forest
service from the department OF agricul-
lure to tho department. Of tho interior
such change can only be made by act

for considerable pressure from tho presi

thority, especially If Clifford Pinchot is
permitted to remain It's chief forester.
The forest service, in the opinion of
most Western men in congress, Is mis-
placed In the department of agrieul,
fure. II has nothing In common with
the other bureaus OF that department,
but has much In common with the gen.
eral land Office and geological survey,
both of which are bureaus Nf the de
partment of the interior In its pres
ent situation, the forest service is, N
until recently was, in effect an iade.
pendent bureau, subject to only nominal
supervision by cabinet officer That
u why the forest service was allowed
to grow up In the agricultural depart
ment, and that Is why Mr.. Pinchot has
always opposed transfer to the interior
department.

MOON DlsPRovEs pEARY.


ROME, Sept. al.--According to The
wellknown astronomer, Signor Fran.
ccsco Faccia da Schio, of Bergamo, tho
moon absolutely disproves Commander
Peary's claim 10 having discovered thc
North Pole.
In his dispatch to the New York
Times the explorer states that April 6,
having accomplished the six stages he
had planned, he was favored with an
opening ia the clouds which permitted
him to take astronomical observations.
From these he established his position
as latitude s9:57.
Signor Faccia points out, however,
that PROFESSIONALLY accurate astrono
mical calculations show that with the
horizon at 1851 the moon could not be
seen at the time Indicated by Com
mander Peary. because from midday,
April s, Paris time, or clock, central
standard time, the declination of the
moon became negative, that is to say,
the moon was below the equator, which
is the natural horizon Of the pole.

TAFT SMILE WINS.

| Chicago, Sept. President Taft
smiled his way into he hearts Of $780,.
600 ChicagoaDs vest Srday. Genjality
and "Bill" Taft-for that's what the
multitudes called him~-~ruled the city
for Q hours. From the moment he ar
rived sttl2 he entered his private car
to leave, through all the Automobiling
and speechifying and bandshaking and
excitement, there was one thing which
shone as brightly AZ the sun of per-
fect day. It was the famous smile.
That smile was commented upon every
where. 1t WAS cheered and 1t made
those who saw 1t feel more pleased
with the world and with themselves.
Good humor, jollity, happiness these
followed Mr.. Taft like attendant guard
ians wherever he went.
And in response to that smile Mr..
Taft got the smiles and laughter Of the
throngs. rs we'll as their shouts and ap-
plause- All the way through the l6
miles Of streets which he travelled DUR
ing the day In q motor, at the West
Side ball park, at the Orchestra Hall
meeting, at the bankers ball, Mr.. left
saw thousands upon thousands Of faces
which smiled at him and which cheered
him.
It's grand, said the chief execu-
tive before he had been in the city five
minutes. Tim really vastly glad TO
be here
Al his automobile swept down Mich
igan avenue in the midst of $50, 900
school children. he turned to his aide
de camp, Captain Archibald w. Butt,
u. s. A., and his voice was just an
atom husky.
This is wonderful, Butt he said
"The cheering Of the children is most
pleasant to me, and yet affecting, for
we know that the cheering Of the child
rem Is sincere"
At the great bankers ball there
were silks and white shoulders and
jewels; there was rythm Of waltz mu-
sic and glow Of pendant lights; there
was dancing by blushing debutantes
and epigramatic foreign consuls; there
was promenading by prominent bank
ers and dowagers and beauties and pol
itlcians. And the chief individual fig
ure of the scene was the big man in
evening dress who smiled and smiled
and smiled.
Unqualifiedly President Taft is in
favor of union labor. This was the
subject of his main speech today, and
IN plain terms he upheld organization,
but demanded that the rights of non

country, by coming to this city from
Beverly in an automobile, accompanied
by Mrs Taft, his daughter ard Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Louis Moore, and max
ing speech at the Boston Commercial

etary commission will recommend the
establishment of central bank and
that Senator Aldrich intends to stump
the country in order to arouse interest

also dwelt on the need of reform in the
interstate commerce and anti trust
laws and strongly deprecated section
alism, either between East or West or
North or South.

much more efficient president and
make him better acquainted with the
needs of that great section. He also
outlined some of the matters to be SUBJ
mltted to the next congress.
