HARRIMAN IS BETTER THIS IS THE STATEMENT OF HIS
 DOCTOR. Qufets Alarming Reports That Come From The Sick Room at
 Arden-Conditfon Still
 Causes Uneasiness.

Turner. N. Y.., Sept. S-Edward H. Hartman is better. This statement is based on the assertion today of the two men closest to him outside of his immediate family.
 His medical adviser. Dr. William G. Lyle. said so this morning and reiterat- ed 1t late this afternoon. His spiritual adviser, the Rev. J. Holmes McGuiness made the assertion in almost the same language after visiting the sick man personally during the afternoon How far MT. Hartman has improved and the precise state of his health is | still @ matter of conjecture and the subject of succession of alarming rumors.
 The official information from the Hartman residence today utterly fail ed to quiet these reports: and there seems to be some ground for the per- sistent, If unconfirmed reports that he has suffered a second slight attack of indigestion yesterday and that pr. Lyie's reassuring statement at mid night referred to his improvement from this second seizure.
 There Is no doubt that Mir. Harri- mans recent condition has been desperate. Evidence of this was fur nished today by two empty oxygen tanks that were sent down from Tower Hill this evening to be returned to hAC hlaHuA6CtuEGN m INOW 4 these attacks will be recurrent and that they must grow increasingly ominous Is the belief of even those who have no immediate fear for his life and profess to consider reports published In New York as exaggerat- ed.
 pr. Lyle's first statement today came in his own handwriting in re- sponse to a note delivered to him at Arden house at about II o'clock this morning, requesting more definite in- formation. This reply read:
 "Mr. Hartman is better.
 (Signed) "W. c. Lyle"
 Conjecture was thus lulled only for few hours.
 Alarming RumOrs.
 Tn the afternoon alarming rumors. originating, some in Wall Street and some from sources unknown, poured in upon the newspaper men at Turner and Arden until o'clock. when Dr. Lyle again was called on the tele- phone. The most startling report of them all was then repeated to him:
 Tt is said in New York that Mir. Hartman is dead"
 Those reports are not true" replied Dr. Lyle. MT Hartman is better to- day.
 His assurances were qualified in the minds of the many. however. by a visit paid to Arden house by Mrs. Mary Simonds, Mir Harriman's sister.

MONSTER CROWD CIRCUMFERENCE Hotel Reservation Re- quests Pouring In. WHOLE STATE IS AROUSED News from All Sections Is Most
 Convincing. Emmett O'NeaI win Addres. People of wetumpka Next Saturday
 Afternoon-Plans of
 Railways Grant Rates.

Ascertaining last night that every room in the Exchange Hotel had been engaged already for September Is for the Dig conference against oonstitu- tional prohibition and ascertaining too, that large reservation of rooms for that day had been made at the other hotels in the city, Representa- tive J. Lee Long has opened an in- formal Bureau of Information to secure quarters for delegates who may not have rooms reserved.
 He asks all hotels and boarding houses having rooms available for the night of September IA and for Septem- Der l5 to communicate with him at room 612, Exchange Hotel. He asks. also, that householders of Montgom- cry, who can accommodate any of the delegates at that time, notify him. A number of citizens of Montgomery have volunteered to take charge of from two to four delegates. There is no way now of estimating the total of the at- tendance at the conference. but 1t will be exceptionally large.
 The uniformity of good news as to the state of public sentiment Is sim ply astonishing" said MT. Long last night. 'Tf I should get one or two bad reports. 1t would at least break the monotony. Daily, something like th1S happens: A North Alabama man calls me up. he says Look after South Alabama. North Alabama is against the amendment and will take care of itself Half an hour later another man. this time from South Alabama calls up. Tn the conversation he says Center your campaign on North Ala bama as South Alabama will take care of itself"
 Hon. Emmett O'Neal will speak Saturday at wetumpka against the amendment. He will speak early fl the afternoon. When Governor Come spoke in wetumpka last week. a division of time for MT. O'Neal was asked for by the opponents of the amendment. but this was declined.
 All the Alabama railroads will units in the special rates to the convention This special rate is three cents a mile one way distance, plus twenty-five cents.
 The same rate will be given to the friends of the amendment who hold Their conference in Birmingham Sep tember 16. A number of Montgom' erians will attend the Birmingham conference. President George G Miles, of the Montgomery Law and Order League. said yesterday. thai while no meeting had yet been held a delegation of at least ten to fifteen Montgomery prohibitionists would at. tend the Birmingham conference.

(COmttmue0 From rage Ohe'J Is well known. but Miss Henning thus far has maintained that she knew of no one who had been intimate with Miss Millman.
 Today Sheriff Gaston talked several hours with Miss Henning. but she as- serted that she had no idea what had befallen Miss Mf1lman. She stated letters from students at the University of Michigan. but that all of them were frivolous and suggested nothing of q serious nature.
 Among Miss Millman's friends was Paul Sukey, IT., of Minneapolis. of the University of Michigan. His parents formerly lived here. He has not been here since the close of school in June. Another man who has written letters to Miss Millman is professional base ball player in the west. The authori- ties do not attach any suspicion to him.
 They believe that the girl was sent to Detroit for an operation and that the man who sent her there after death had followed the effort to shield her from disgrace aided the disposal of parts of her body.
 At rcorse creek search Is still be- ing conducted for the lower part oi the young womans trunk. This DOT tion of her anatomy, however the authorities believe. was destroyed. Harry Millman, brother of the deaI girl was in Detroit today and assured the officials that he had no suspicious concerning the identity of the man or men who wronged his sister.

 Arden, N r., Sept. 9-Rumors that Edward H. Hartman was in a critical condition gained renewed currency here shortly after 1 o'clock this morn ing.

 While these occurrences may have no direct bearing on MT. Harriman's illness they tended to increase the alarm.
