DISCOUNTED HIS DEATH.

New York. Sept. 10,--Two beliefs
concerning the death Of Hartman be
came accepted as facts today: first,
that his great railroad organization
will not be disturbed; second, that he
was a victim of cancer
That the financial world had thor
oughly discounted the financiers
death was attested by one Of the most
remarkable advances in the prices Of
stock in exchange history.
Dr. Lyle issued no statement Of the
cause of his death. but cable brought
from the Vienna specialist who treat
ed Hartman the statement that he
was suffering from cancer The spec
ialist said he so diagnosed it and indi.
Gated an operation might be advisable
The general belief is no operation was
performed after Harriman's return
but whether this result weakened his
condition or his refusal is only con
lecture DR.. Lyle and the members of
the family make no comment about
the cancer statement.
No Change in Agents.
The Kuhn-Loeb National City Bank
interest will continue to be the chiei
financial agents of the Hartman
lines, but who will assume the head ol
his vast affairs is unknown. 1t is gen
orally understood that Jacob Fl. Schif

NOT PUBLlc's BUSINESS.

New York Sept. 10.--Dr. LYLE said
tonight; The nature of Harriman's s
disease does not concern the public
and as. far as I'm concerned. 1t never
shall be reported. Hartman himself
did not know from what malady he
was suffering. Tine disease was
clearly enough defined for a correct
diagnosis and of that the family was
informed There is no occasion to
satisfy any one else. The death Ger.
tifcate will not be opened for public
Inspection
Lyle said he did not believe DR.
Strumpel made the statement at
tributed to him that Harriman's dis

OPPOSED ROOSEVELT.
Felt Himself Target For Antitrust
Activities

New York, Sept 10,-When the
UnitedStates began its prosecution of
alleged violators of the antitrust law
Mr., Hartman became convinced that
he had been selected as a target and
did not hesitate to say so at various
times. With that courage which al
ways characterized mis- action he did
not hesitate to break lance with
President Roosevelt.
In a letter to Sydney Webster Mr..
Hartman said he was at the White
House shortly before the election in
1904, and that at the urgent request
| Of Mr.. Roosevelt, he collected S250,009
for the New York campaign. This
money was raised on the promise that
Senator Depew would be appointed
ambassador to France, and he charg-
ed that the president had violated his
promise. He spoke Of the coalition OF
Ryan, Root and Roosevelt" against
him.
The president came back with de
Inial of the statements set forth In the
letter. and it was at this time he made
reference to the shorter and uglei
word. and later in the controversy
Preferred to Mr.. Hartman as an "un
desirable citizen" At the same time
he made public letters which showed
their former friendly relations ant
which were addressed MY Dear Mr.

The letter of the man in which he

ing of Mrs. Woodill by a jealous
woman, has been made public and
deeply impressed many who read its
c1rcumstantfal account of the tragedy
for which the writer claimed he was
in no way responsible. The letter
follows:
Winnie, take this money and 60 at
once to Mcdaniel, Talbot county,
Maryland and claim my body and all
my property. The property consists
Of % acres Of land and a bungalow.
There is also a motor boat. Have

Foreman Radcliffe, Of the coroner's

the truth of the strange missive and
urged the authorities to investigate
