NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The
news Of Harriman's death did not
come as surprise to the business
world. It had been reported ali
day that the magnate was dead
and that the news was being with
held.
History of His Life.
Edward Henry Hartman was
born Feb. "a, 184S, at Hampton,
l.. I. He was the second son in
a family of six children. His fa-
ther was Rev. Orlando H. Harri-
man, an Episcopal minister.
The Harrimans were poor as
church mice. The elder Hartman
changed parishes every year. but
not till Edward was nearly grown
did he get one where he could
earn a comfortable living. Always
his meager salary was in arrears
and his pride prevented him from
accepting help from his friends
The Hartman children were
pressed even for food and cloth
ing.
Young Harriman's education
was little and desultory. His ia
ther helped him some at home
and he attended some grade
schools. Also he had a year at {
denominational school where
ministers sons were educated
free.
While still in his teens, youni
Hartman went into Wall st. as |
brokers clerk. He was an under
sized. near-sighted, weak-lookint
young man, reticent, repellint
confidence, one who made few
friends.
But he was keen as a polished
steel blade. Despite his weak ap
pearance he was interchangeable
And behind his big glasses
glowed his eyes, deep set, pene'
trating, calculating, hard. Hi
set in to learn the Wall st. game
1t was in the early '70s. Hi
teachers were Jay Gould and jim
Fiske and Jay Cooke.
So young Hartman was soor
trading on the floor--for his
customers, for himself. If he was
noticed at all by the giants of the
Exchange, 1t was as a shrewd
young man, remarkably quick or
his feet with every turn of ths
market. quick as flash to,changt
position, and protect himself.
Within ten or fifteen years hs
had made good. He had mad.

of w. X. Vanderbilt and Stuyve

sort OF friendships he allowet
himself. He had established hi
own brokerage and banking hous'

Also he was studying railroads

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Com-
mander Peary's preliminary story
first brings the news of success in
eaching Cape Sheridan, Grantland,
September /, 1908. Here the
expedition wintered and the
Roosevelt was given advantage Of
the high northern base. He then
tells of an early start with his
sledge expedition February Is,
1909, in a direction toward Cape
Columbia.
Lost Valuable Time.
He left Columbia in March and
was delayed by open water from
the fourth to the eleventh. The
time lost at this stage was very
valuable to him, as it occurred at
the best shedding season. On
March IL he crossed the 84th par
allel. From this it would appear
that he succeeded in making al
most seventy miles on two or
three marching days, only one OF
which must have been good go
ing.
Made Remarkable Speed.
On March Is he encountered
another open lead. He evidently
did not delay there very long for
he crossed the 85th parallel three
days later. Then with a burst
of tremendous speed he crossed
the seth parallel on March %. SO
in les than a month he reached
the seth parallel, although to use
his own words twas held up for
seven days" that month.
He must have encountered another
lead on the 29th, but with the tre-
mendous speed he must have been
making. succeeded in crossing the
SSth parallel four days later, and
two days later he crossed the seth
parallel. Then IL required only two
days for him to reach the pole.
Made 35 Miles Day
Commander Peary tells a wonder
full story of travel over the polar
ice. To accomplish this he must
have made. 35 miles a day for many
days. which was only possible over
smooth ice. The story simply takes
my breath away.
On the return trf pthe speed
seems even more wonderful.

SOLDIERS OF TWO WARS
MARCH in GREAT PARADE
Inspiring Strains of Martial Music rizzed Veterans who Travelled Wit
the Sea Step Tacoma Streets Today With Span
Fighters the Washington Natona
Guard-Thousands Throng Thoroughfares.

There were soldiers in line to-
day in the parade that started
from the corner of Ninth street
and Pacific avenue at O'Clock
this afternoon; there were gr.z-
zled veterans who had marched
with Sherman "From Atlanta 20
the Sea-" there were rough rid
ers who had climbed San Juan hill
with the man who afterwards be-
came the idol of nation as presi-
dent of the United States, and
there were young men who were
just beginning to wonder wheth-
er it would be wise to buy safety
razor or patronize a barber shop;
but from the griZZled veteran
down to the youngest membe Of
the National Guard of Washing
ton charts beat in unison on one
proposition-loyalty to the Stars
and Stripes.
Inspiring Scene.
1t was a parade such as was
never seen before in Tacoma. The
like will not be witnessed again
in this decade. To the inspiring
strains of martial music rendered
by local bands and fife and drum
corps, thousands of feet moved n
rythm down Pacific avenue to JET
ferson street, then back on G
street to the intersection of Ninth,
to Commerce, down that thor
oughfare to Seventh, righ wheel
to the main artery of the city
and then past the point of review
at Fourteenth. street.
Headed by Police.
The parade was headed by a
platoon of police with Chief j. M.
Duley in command. Then came
state and civil officials In car
riages and the G.. A. r. Other
military organizations followed In
divisions, the veterans of the late
unpleasantness making splendid
showing in the third division.
Women Ride in Autos.
Am interesting feature of the
parade was the appearance made
by the wives of the men who
fought in the Spanish war. They
rode in automobiles close behind
the lines formed by their hus-
bands.
Each division received its share
of cheers as the men passed along
the thronged streets. 1t was a
gala occasion, and the martial
spirit ran riot.
Serpent Parade Tonight.
There will be another parade
tonight. In connection with it:
there will be spectacular features.
With the Military Order of the
Serpent unwinds its coils along
Pacific avenue, the streets win
be densely packed.
"That parade of the snakes will
have any vaudeville stunt tina
was ever placed on the boards
skinned by eight Pacific avenue
blocks" said John H. Burnett to-
day.
Chief of Police Duley says there
will be no danger of the parade
starting an epidemic OF d. It's.
