Death WAS eau Ed BY CANCER

Declines to Make Statement-Exact
Time End Came Mystery-Mrs.
Simons' Story Denied.
tBy Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Two be-
liefs concerning the death Of Edward
II. Hartman came TO be accepted as
facts today-first, that his great rail
road organization Will not be dis
turbed; second, that he was victim
of cancer
AS to the cause of the financier's
death, Dr. W. G. Lyle. of this city,
who WIS with him 20 the end, would
make NO statement, but today there
came by cable from a Vienna special
ist. who treated Mr.. Hartman while
abroad, o statement that he was SUI
fering with cancer. The specialist
had so diagnosed it, he said, and had
indicated that an operation might be
advisable. The general belief is that
no operation was performed after Mr.
Harriman's return to Arden, but
whether this was the result OF his
weakened condition or his refusal 10
submit to the knife may be but con-
jectured.
Time of Death Mystery.
The exact time of the financier
death yesterday is still mystery. DR..
Lyle issued a statement this morning
saying positively that the end had
come at 3::35 as officially announced.
but there are those who still hold TO
the belief that he died at 1:30 as In
timated by his sister. Mrs. Simons,
and that the news was withheld until
the stock market closed.
DR. Lyle has made no comment up

MEAT PRICES
ARE BOOSTED

The long-expected raise in meat
prices came this week, advancing
beef and mutton one-half cent per
pound, and pork one-quarter cent.
All classes of meat of each var
iety are affected.
This ascent in meat will not
touch the local markets, however.
The middlemen, or commission
men, handling the meats, will be
the only ones to profit, as the re-
tailers are forced to pay the adj
vanced prices while charging the
standard quotations.
Corn fed beef of a good quail

say that some consignments OF
unusual merit are expected soon
No further advance is looked for
until late in winter.
Owing to the cold weather, but

CHILD FORGOTTEN BY FATHER

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-With
busy, hustling grown-ups all
around her and every one of them
too busy to take notice of her
tiny, wistful face as they hurried
to catch their trains, a mite of a
girl, 2-year-old Mary Louise
French, sat for two hours on the
big iron staircase which is the
p-main gateway to st. Louis in the
Union station waiting-room.
She was waiting for her papa
John G. French, who, when he
placed her there, told her he
would be back in few minutes.
They were long, long minutes
and the baby head was nodding
and the tired blue eyes were Civ
ing up the hard fight against the
Sand Man when one in the hurry
Ing crowd saw what all the sta
tion attaches and police had failed
to see--that the child was unat-
tended. He told Sergeant Nee
han.
: Lifting her tired eyes to meet
those of the big man with the
brass buttons, Mary Louise said
sleepily: 81 waitin' for papa"
The sergeant carried her to
the office of Matron Hunter,
where she curled up on a couch
and sank to sleep.
Half an hour later a wild-eyed
man rushed through the waiting
room.

said.
