E. H. Hartman
 Is Improving
BOTH HIS MEDICAL AND SPIRIT.
 UAL ADVISERS SAY so.
BUT ALARMING RUMoRS YET
Official Information from the Resi- dence Fail to Quiet These Reports Renewing Attacks Grow Worse.


 based on the assertion today of the two men closest to him outside of his im.- mediate family. His medical adviser, Dr. William G. Lyle, said so this morn ing. and reiterated it late this after noon. His spiritual adviser, the Rev. J, Holmes McGui1ness, made the as sertion in almost the same language after visiting the sick man personally during the afternoon.
 Alarming Rumors Will Not Down.
 How far Mir. Hartman has improved and the precise state of his health is still matter of conjecture and the subject of a succession of alarming rumors. The official information from the Hartman residence today utterly failed to quiet these reports, and there seems to be some ground for the per- slstent if unconfirmed reports that he suffered a second slight attack of in digestion yesterday and that Dr. Lyle's reassuring statement at midnight re7 ferred to his improvement from this second seizure. There is no doubt that MT Harriman's recent condition has been desperate. Evidence of this was furnished today by two empty OK ygen tanks that were sent down from Tower Hill this evening to be returned to the manufacturer in New York. That these attacks will be recurrent and that they must grow increasingly ominous is the belief of even those who have no immediate fear for his life and profess to consider reports published in New York as exaggerated.
 pr. Lyle's Statement.
 Dr. Lyle's first statement today came in his own handwriting in response to a note delivered to him at Arden house about Il o'clock this morning request ing more definite information. This reply read:
 tSigned) w. G. LYLE"
 Conjecture was thus lulled only for a few hours. h the afternoon alarm ing rumors, originating some in Wall street and some from sources un- known, poured in upon the newspaper men at Turner and Arden until o'clock. when Dr. Lyle again was call ed on the telephone. The most start ling report of them all was then re- peated to him:
 Tt is said in New York that MT. Hartman is dead"
 Those reports are not true" replied Dr. Lyle. MT. Hartman is better to- day"
 Increased Alarm This Morning.
 Arden, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Rumors that. E. H. Hartman was in a critical con- dition gained renewed currency here shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. At the same time the brilliant arc light which has heretofore burned on Tower Hill all night was suddenly extin- guished.
 Repeated calls to the telephone ex- change at Highland Mills, which gives connection to the Hartman residence. afforded no response. Previously con- nections could be obtained at all hours of the night. While these occurrences may have no \direct bearing on MT. Harrimans' illness, they tended to in- crease the alarm.
