DOCTOR SAYS HARTMAN
MUST QUIT THE QUEST FOR
GOLD. OR SUFFER- COM
PLETE PHYSICAL COLLAPSE.
BY HERBERT A. WHITE
staff Correspondent.

copyrighted, 1909, by the United
Press Association
VIENNA. Aug. 20.-Edward H.
Hartman, the master mind of the
railway world, must either cease
active participation in business af-
fairs or suffer a complete physical
collapse. This Is the opinion of
Professor Streumpel. the famous
Viennese specialist, who diagnosed
Harriman's ailments, and for
whose advice the magnate made a
special trip to Vienna.
Streumpel, who spent many
hours with Hartman, studied his
case with as much thoroughness
as though he had been a member
of the royal family. whose physi-
clan Streumpel is.
Overworked.
In the first place, Gays Streum-
pei. Hartman is suffering from a
systematic lack of proper nourish-
ment which has caused general
weakness. Secondly, he is suf-
fering from general nervous de-
bility and exhaustion due to over
work.
The specialist added, however,
that Hartman was not suffering
from any specific organic trouble,
and predicted that If he watched
himself carefully and refrained
from any unusual mental and
physical efforts that he would en-
Joy years of satisfactory health.
Half Starved.
The thing that surprised Profess
sor Streumpel the most was Harrl-
mans half starved condition. He
declared that the need of better
feeding for the noted financier was
imperative.
He outlined three courses of
treatment which he cautioned Har-
riman to follow closely. The first
course is for Hartman to lie
quietly in bed for many hours a
day, and eat only the most nour-

Stops Itching Immediately, SOothet
and Comforts the Little Ones.
A demonstration of the efficacy
and entire harmlessness of poslam,
the new skin discovery, is afforded
when 1t is applied to the tender
skin of infants who are tortured
with rashes, chafings, scaly and
crusted humors and other skin
aggravations. It's effect is sooth-
ing, the itching stops at once, the
skin heals and Is quickly restored
to normal condition.
In the various forms of skin
troubles in both infants and adults
poslam produces beneficial results
from the first application. Eczema,
acne, herpes, rash, letter, etc.,
yield readily to its remarkable
curative properties. Occasional APP
plications will quickly Danish PIN
pies, blotches and complexion
lblemishes and will relieve and cure
itching feet, scaly scalp, humors,
etc.
Poslam can be had for fifty
cents at any reliable druggist s

NARROWLY AVERT
COLLISION Of
hIRSH|PS

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
RHEIMS, Aug. 20.-Presence of
mind and absolute control of his
machine enabled Glenn H. Curtiss,
America naviator, to avert col
lision in midair at shutdown last
evening.
Three machines were maneuver-
ing in the air at the same time
and all were flying rapidly when
suddenly Curtiss saw. M. Duman-
sett In an Antoinette monoplane
approaching at right angles and
on the same level with him. The
American elevated his plane and
his machine instantly shot up
wards, soaring safely over the
other car.
Breathlessly the spectators had
watched the two cars approaching
each other and when they saw the
maneuver brilliantly carried out,
they broke into wild cheering for
the aviator.

He landed in the Tombs prison
charged with grand larceny.
Persch was note broker in the
street" He associated with some
of the most polite high finance
gentlemen of that ancient and
dishonorable thoroughfare. He's
a good looking fellow and clever,
too.
The unsavory transaction which
involves the young Pittsburger is
said to have been one of the most
daring adventures that has come
to light in Wall street in some
months. The trial may bring out
the truth, at present clouded, and
may show that Persch was used by
more influential financiers to pro-
mote a scheme to break F. Au-
gustus Heinze, copper prince.
M. M. Joyce owned $4,000 of
Heinze copper stock. Joyce got a
loan of $4,000 on his stock at the
respectable Windsor Trust Co.
Joyce supposed, he said, that the
trust company was making the
loan and that the stock would be
held as collateral. He wanted to
keep it off the market. One day,
to his amazement, he discovered
that his stock was being traded in
on the curb market. There was
an investigation. The trust COM
pany denied that 1t had. made the
loan; only negotiated it for other
parties who took the stock away.
Persch was one of the "other par
ties" 1t is known that he ordered
the stock sold, and Dist. Atty.
Jerome says that through the sale
of it Persch cleared up $4,000
after he had paid a 10 per cent
commission to an innocent friend
who found the money for the $780,
900 loan to Joyce.
Heinze says that there's a con-
spiracy to beat him. He says that
there have been three other in
stances where his stocks, put up

knowledge or consent of the bor-

likely to play hob with the prices

titles. He says that Hartman
should partake of food every two
hours to counterfeit the effect of
long and improper feeding. Moth
ing else, the physician says, can
build up the wasted tissues.
Then Hartman must take a
course of sun balns. Streumpel
has adviced the f1nancier to lie
naked in the sunshine. BY this
means he hopes to strengthen Hsr-
riman's nerves. When there Is no
sunshine he advises that a cham

is a bath in water which has been

WEATHER BRINGS
MUCH SICKNESS
Doctors Hurry Night and
Day to Care for Many
Grip Cases.

Good evening! Cold getting better?
Hammond evidently got wet feet, sat
IN a draft, threw the covers off at
night or something or other, for near
ly everybody has cold. Nothing Sc
rious, however, but it means that there
has been more throat gargleS, more hot
lemonade, more hot water bags and
aching heads in the last week than
all winter. Everybody has been more
or less under the weather from May
or Becker down to the little newsboy.
One doctor this morning described it
as a regular epidemic Last Sunday
Father Barrett of All Saints church
asked all those who were in church to
pray for the sick at home, explaining
that there was an unusual amount of
sickness in the parish.
The epidemic, which was similar to
the one of influenza, is largely due to
the changeable weather that has pre-
vailed. Ten days ago the weather was
mild and warm. then followed a heavy
snow storm, entailing snow and wet
feet and exposure. There is nothing
noticeable that the more serious sick
neesses are on the increase. although
1t is possible that more serious III
ness may result from the cold that is
now epidemic

POLICEMAN IS SUED
Officer Oscar Borchert De-
fendant in Superior
Court.

Officer Oscar Borchert is being sued
by Charles Barker for $2,500 damages.
which he alleges is due him for in
juries he received when the Hammond
police officer elected him from the
Maine restaurant.
The complaint alleges that Barker
was sitting in the restaurant in a
peaceable and aw-abiding manner,
when Borchert came in and struck him
on the side of the face with his hand.
The blow, so the plaintiff alleges. was
sufficient to knock Barker from his
chair and as result his ear drum was
fractured
The complaint also states that Borch-
ert was not acting in his capacity as an
officer at the time the alleged assault
occurred, but as a private citizen. Mr.
Barker is represented Dy Attorney Fred
Barnette. The demand1s for 500 doc
tors fees and $2,5O0 damages.

Asks for Two Thousand Dol

Interurban.

John H. Kerner, through his attor-

against the Chicago. Lake Shore &
South Bend Railway company, in which
he asks $4,000 damages to his prop
erty along the right-of-way of this
railroad.
The suit was filed in the Lake superb
or court, and the complaint states that
the officials of the railroad condemned
the rear-end of his lot for right OF way
purposes and in so doing prevented all
ingress and egress to the rear of his
house.
He says that this makes it impos-
sible for him to put in fuel and other
things that are usually delivered to the
rear of a residence. He says that the
interurban cars run within seventy Ave
feet Of his house so that hte noise is an
injury to his property.
