New York, June 22.-Rumors that
e. H. Hartman was critically Ill in
Vienna. a report that at times WA
exaggerated to the extent of sayina
that he was dead, were all met with
prompt denial by his associates and
at the Union Pacific yesterday after
noon. But notwithstanding this, the
reports, coupled with = sharp bear
raid. caused decided break in the
stock market. and the decline in the
so-called Hartman stocks had not
been checked when trading closed.
Union Pacific dropped 4 points, re-
covering only quarter, leaving a net
loss Of 3A for the day. Southern Pa.
cific showed net loss of 2ss; Read

Losses as high as / 2points from the
high water mark Of a few DAYS ago

One Of Mr.. HArriman's closest asso
ciates said yesterday afternoon he
felt convinced that any report indi
eating that Mr.. Hartman was serious
ly ILL., was utterly false.

That the long-drawn out litigation

pressed In Judge Murphy's court Sa:'
urday morning. by Mrs. Gilman, a
daughter of the aged architect. and
who has been his constant attendant
during the three weeks the trial has
Deen In progress.
Col. Myers. who is in his seventy
sixth year, and very feeble. has wor-
ried so much about the case that he
is now in a critical condition In his
home on Second-ave He Is unable to
sleep, and at times is in raging de-
lirium, imagining that even the mem
hers of his own family are conspirinC
to rob him of his property. During
these spells he talks a great deal OF
Mr.. Radford and OF his alleged griev-
Gnces.
Most OF Saturday mornings session
was taken up waiting for witnesses,
and the attorneys jockeying TO learn
what the other side had In reserve
before calling the final witnesses. At

other witness. but he does not want

that at IL o'clock he would be ready

case was resumed at noon.

IN GOOD ROADS LAW

school OF instruction attended by
highway commissioners from every
township In Wayne county was held in
the county building. Saturday. State
Highway Commissioner Horatio S.
Earle presided as instructor, and most
OF the time was taken up explaining
10 the offcials points in the good road
law over which there has been more
or less uncertainty and friction.
A recent decision OF the supreme
court placing upon the farmer the ne
cessity OF providing his own bridges
over highway bitches running in front
Of his farm. was explained at great
length by Mr.. Earle. He said the de-
cision was one OF the most important
of recent years. affecting country
roads. The supreme court holds that
when a ditch is constructed In front
OF a farm il is up to the owner to con-
struct his own passage ways and
bridges TO his land. The decision
points out that this may be hardship.
but II must be borne by the individual
for the public good
These schools of instruction are a
feature of the good road policy OF the
administration, and are being held reg
ularly all over the state.
