"MR. HARTMAN
 BETTER TODAY"
Continued from First Page.)

 A caller at the Hartman home today was Rev. pr. J. Holmes McGinniss. He declared he had not been sum- n1oned by the family and had no req
 son for believing that the financier's condition was serious.
 New York, Sept. 8.-Ex-Judge Low ett, vice president of the Union Pacific Railroad and Harriman's personal
 counsel, today telephoned to his office that no statement regarding MT. liar riman's health would be issued from the Union Pacific offices unless Har- Timan was considered in immediate danger. Lovett will not be at his of flee until afternoon.
 New York. Sept. 8.-The favorable tone of the majority of the newspaper reports about Harriman's condition had reassuring effect on speculative sentiment and caused a decidedly strong tone at the opening. Union Pacific. after a fractional gain, rose to above 198 against 197 at yesterdays close. Other leading issues joined in the vigorous upward movement, with Reading. next to Union Pacific show ing the greatest strength and activity. New York Central. Erie and Pennsyl- vania all ranged fractipnally higher and Steel common rose %.
 At the end of the first 15 minutes, the market continued active but show ed recessions from the highest.
 ii a. m.-After a. show of early strength. the market again weakened under the circulation of renewed run1ors about Harriman's condition and vigorous selling for short account caused a sharp break in Union Pacific. that stock declining over two points. Southern Pacific fell over one point Shortly after the end of the first hour the rumorS assumed a more alarming character and were accompanied by around the room Governments un- changed: other bonds weak. Noon.-Market conditions continued nervous and unsettled in the late fore noon and around midday. prices then generally at the lowest range reached since the commencement of business Tuesday. New York Central showed a loss of over points with pronounced weakness in Brio, Missouri. Pacific, and Wabash preferred. Union Pacific after yielding over two points. rallied sharply. Reading also rallied.
 D. m.-The market ruled dull for long intervals in the afternoon but was saved from stagnation by various minutes at time The most import ant of these movements was a spurt of over one point in Union Pacific, following the bulletin reporting Harri- man better. Most of this gain was lost on the appearance of some selling orders and the market relapsed into dullness. Other stocks generally rang ed a little above the lowest prices.
 Judge Lovett returned to his offices this afternoon from the Hartman home at Arden. where he passed the night. He was very reticent concern ing MT. Harriman's condition and de- clared he would make no statement.
 New York, Sept. S.-The report of the death of B. H. Hartman, spread broadcast again this afternoon, is de- nied absolutely by Harriman's private secretary at the offices of the Union Pacific here.

 sl This statement was made to the United Press correspondent today by Captain Otto 'Sverdrup, the foremost Arctic authority in Denmark Sver- drup has been a warm defender of Cook from the first and his acceptance of the doctors statements. after an examination of the data presented by the latter, did as much as any other thing to establish Dr. Cook in the es- teem Of the Danish scientists.
 You consider then that .Dr. Cook has proofs to establish his claims be- yond the question of doubt?' Sver- drap was asked.
 There is no doubt of it in the world" Sverdrup replied. 'Ie will yet make Peary admit his claims"
 Sverdrup said Peary's charges in- volve either a malicious falsehood or inexcusable ignorance.
 ''He evidently saw the wrong Eski- mos. But at that I prefer to take Fasnaussen's word, who said that all the EskimoS knew that Cook reached the Pole,'' he said.
 There is unmistakable disappoint- ment among Dr. Cooks friends that he did not give them something new in his address last night before the Royal Dan1Sh Geographlca1 society at the Palace Concert Hall, at which the Crown Prince presided and presented him with the society's gold medal. Ie was expected that he would say something in this first public address that would clear up some of the dis puted points, but he refrained from taking up any new phase. He prob ably does not wish to make public too much of the material that is soon to appear in book dorm.
 The reception accorded the explorer at this meeting was warm and cor dial, but the net result of his two hours before the society will, it is be- lieved here, be to weaken the public's confidence.

Students Ont Again
 Advance Guard Back

New Haven, Sept. 8.-The first con- tingent of the returning Yale students arrived in town a few days ago, a considerable army coming back to take up the work of surveying required in the civil engineering course at the scientific school before the opening of the year. In addition there are quite a few students back who are trying to make up conditions by tutoring in anticipation of the examinations which will be held late in the month. Some also are freshmen who have come to complete their examinations or to try again.
 The members of the surveying class found themselves in wrong Monday for while the rest of the world was enjoying a holiday they were taken out to Yale field and there required to survey the field in connection with their course work.

WASHINGTON TO
 DELAY JUDGMENT
Scientific World Will Pass Opinion Upon Facts Ad- duced by Rival Explorers When Cook and Peary Reach This Country.

Washington, Sept. S-Local scien. | lists were plunged into a maze of un- certainty to-day over the cablegram te the United Press from Commander Pesry. discrediting Dr. Cooks alleged prior discovery of the Pole.
 That they were prepared for some such announcement was evident from the action taken yesterday by the Geographic Society. Although several of tl,e individual members of the board had previously expressed them selves as personally satisfied of the reliability of Dr. Cooks claims. after they got together symptoms of "cold feet developed It was decided to take no action in the way of officially honorirg either of the North Pole claimants until opportunity had been given to examine their detailed scienti- fic observations. Therefore, all plans for the coming annual dinner of the society. where it had been proposed to honor Peary and Cook equally, have been sidetracked for the present.
 To-day's startling despatch from Indian Harbor served on the one hand to clinch the doubts of the few who from the first had been just a bit dubious about Cooks alleged discov- cry and on the other to confirmed thousands of the pronounced Peary adherents especially in, the Navy, their belief that all the honors should go to him. The general view of the extraordinary situation thus presented is, however. that judgment should be suspended until a competent jury of scientists shall have passed upon the claims of the rival explorers.
 'tGentlemen. come up and show your credentials. This, I believe. represents the attitude of the scientific world to- day.
 Dr. Willis L.. Moore. Chief of the Weather Bureau, and president of the National Geographic Society. made this statement when shown a copy of Commander Peary's despatch to the United Press concerning the claims of Dr. Cook. Further than this. MT. Moore declined to make any comment except to call attention to yesterdays action of the board of managers of the society.
 Prof. Henry Gannett. superintendent of the U. s. Geological Survey, and a member of the board, said:
 'I am skeptical about Dr.. c ks claim myself. There are good reasons for skepticism- Many English scien- with pr. Cooks explanation. Of course, I don't want to be quoted as saying that Dr. Cook did not discover the Pole; that would not be fair. But want to wait for proof before ad- hitting anything in the natter
 The question of Governmental re- cognition of Commander Peary's ex- ploit, provided he proves his claim of discovery of the North Pole, is being discussed to-day in Washington.
 Congress may present him with medal. and it may increase his rank to that of captain. It cannot make him a rear-admiral. for there is no such rank in the civil engineers corps, in which he holds his commission. In addition to these possible honors, it is likely that President Taft and the Secretary of the Navy will commend him in official letters.

Noted Explorer
 Criticises Peary

in Dr. Cook still unshaken. despite the efforts of Commander Peary to discredit him, Anthony Fiala, member of the Zeigler North Pole expedition of 1901-02 and commander of the Bald Win-Zeigler expedition of 1903-5. said to-day he intended to wait proof from both explorers before committing him. self
 'It is subject for deep regret that there should be controversy. The least I can say is that Commander Peary's charges against pr. Cook are uncaIled for and untimely. I have known Cook for a great many years and I know him to be an honorable gentleman. He bankrupted himself making this trip and I am firmly con- ,vineed he reached the Pole.
 What proof has Peary that he reached the Pole? No one has ques- toned his unsupported word Then

 WAGON BY
 QUARRY BLAST

Calls Peary An Egotist
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 New York, Sept. 8.-"Anyone who knows anything of Peary's reputation and character knows him to be an ego- tist who would stop at nothing to overcome the advantage gained by an adversary" said Captain B. s. Osbon, of the Arctic Club, when asked his opinion of the controversy between pr. Cook and Commander Peary.
 'It is a good thing that Peary is making all these slanderous statements now,' he continued, for it will bring out all the proofs and evidence and will eventually show him up in any thing but an enviable light.
 Anyone comparing the two men can size them up pretty well. Peary' 8 cable advising people not to believe Cooks assertion shows a. remarkable lack of manlincss and Dr. Cooks an- swer is just the reverse
 Anybody converssnt, with Peary's methods. knows that he is an abso- lute CZar ir the Polar regions and even the Eskimos fear and hate him."

Inheritance does not give good quail
