PASTOR JOINS UNION
KANSAS CITY MAN BECOMES MEM. BIER OF THE BARTENpERs'
 ORGANIZATION.
HE IS OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION
pr. Wallace M. Short, Congregation. al Preacher, Gives as Ills Reason That He Wants to Study Question From the inside.

Kansas City. Sept. TIA total ab- stainer all his life. and. for many years during his service as a minister, an ad- vocate of strict prohibition laws. the Rev. Wallace M. Short. pastor of the Beacon Hill Congregational church. became a member of the Bartenders' Union No. APO at a meeting of the made by Doctor Short concerning his membership in the union was that he desired to study the liquor question from the bartenders standpoint. Later 1t was made clear that he was opposed to prohibition laws in sen. cral and the enforcement of them in particular,
 While Doctor Short was in the east during the past summer studying fha liquor conditions in New York, Massa. chnsetts. Maine and several other states, the local union granted the re- quest he had made several weeks pre- viously and voted favoraby on hIa name for membership. After his ini- tiation yesterday. Doctor Short was offered the position of chaplain of tho union but refused 1t. saying that ho preferred to be silent member. He became interested In the Inside We ings of the Kansas City labor organi- zations when he came here six years ago and Is member of the Industrial Council. the central labor orgs nssa- ton.
 T have been censuved rather severe ly for my opposition to the prohibi- ton laws" Doctor Short said. .'I have received communications most of which are anonymous. l think I should be permitted to continue my study of the liquor question In my own way.'
 The reports of the New York Com mittee of Fifty" furnish the basis of arguments presented by Doctor Short in support of his contention that 1t Is contrary to the principles of American liberty to enact prohibition laws and attempt to enforce them. If Carnegie and Rockefeller and other rich men are permitted to drink liquors in their homes and clubs. is it right to pro- hibit the poor man from the exercise of the same privilege. Is the question Doctor Short asks. He believes that every man should be governed by bis own conscience in the matter of drink. ing as in other things

HARTMAN ILL AGAIN
THE RAILROAD MAGNATE SUE. FERs A RELAPSE AT HIS
 MOUNTAIN HOME.
THE NEWSPAPER MEN NOTIFIED
4 Trained Nurse Summoned From New York to Arden--Dr. Lyle Says Cause of Trouble is Sharp Attack of Indigestion.

Arden, N. Y, Sept. S.-E. H. Harri-
 man is not as we'll as he was week
 ago, on the day that his personal re.
 assurance led the newspapers of the country to abandon the watch main
 tained for four anxious days about the
 home of the Tower Hill. Dr. W. G.
 Lyle, Mir. Harriman's personal physi-
 clan gave out brief bulletin from
 Arden house on his patients condition. The bulletin follows.
 MT Hartman has suffered re-
 lapse. He had sharp attack of in- digestion on Sunday, but rested com fortably yesterday. We hope for the best"
 Dr. Lyle appeared anxious that Mir
 Harriman's condition should not be
 exaggerated.
 Mir Hartman is sick man. but We hope for the best,' he repeated when pressed for a further statement The physician was besieged with
 telephone Inquiries following day of rumors which had apparently started | In New York and had disturbed Wall street throughout the latter part of the
 market day.
 Two incidents at Arden seemed to indicate that Mir. Harriman's condition lis again believed to be serious. A trained nurse was hastily summoned from St. Lukes hospital and arrived at Tower Hill yesterday afternoon. A cn0npA fsn utnr ponement of lawn picnic arranged
 by Mir. Harriman's daughters for the
 children of the Episcopal church here. No reason for the postponenant was given but the parishioners were of the opinion that the doctors had again
 advised complete quiet for their pa | tient.
 Dr. Lyle, over the telephone. com nrmed the report that trained nurse had been brought from New York. l"But this incident should not be ex- aggefated." he insisted Tt is only
 natural that a sick man should want
 nurse"
 Despite pr. Lyle's reinsurance,
 Arden was fuE cf rnmors that Mir.
 HarrIman's relapse was of a very serioua characfcr. It was reported that several of the specialists who at tended the conference at the Harri- man home week ago Saturday were
 again with the sick man. Dr. Lyle
 would neither confirm nor deny this report and declined to add anything to the bulletin which he had given out.
