Saw Hartman Out Driving,
Erie Railroad Man Sure

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
TURNER, y. Y, August 3O.-The news
from Arden House seems to be growing
more cheerful every day.
This morning a conductor on the Erie
read stated that on two occasions in the
last few days he has seen Mr.. Hartman
out for drive in four-seated rig, with
his daughter Carol and Andrew Mcneil.
his coachman. The railroad man assert
ed that he saw Mr. Harriman's carriage
from the train on a stretch of private
road that crosses the track just below
Arden.
The conductor declared that he Is
uuainted with Mr.. Hartman and could
not be mistaken in his Identification Of
him
None Of the workmen on Arden House.
however, have seen Nj. Hartman out
driving. Nor can any of the country poo
pie be found TO support the story.
1t would be possible for Nh Hartman
TO drive a good many miles through the
woods behind his house without ever
coming out into public road. Ii seems
unlikely that he has done 50. as from all
accounts he is confined to his wheel chair
by his physic ans oruer.
No one apparently has seen Mr.. fIarri-
man wax since the first day of mis- home
coming. ON that occasion ne only WalSeu
a few PAGES.
Alert and Active.
Men employed about the place say he
appears alert and active and moves his
arms and body freely in making the
cnara cteristic Hartman gestures when
ever he warns up in conve. sat.on. More
over, they say, he Is strong enough TO
move about the porch by turning the
wheels Of his chair.
The people OF Arden and Turner have
always known Hartman as a ready
walker. They are distressed to see him
kept to a chair. This interest OF the
people of the countryside in the nnan-
cier's condition has been apparent right
along.
Hartman owns and controls everything
in Arden from relis Ton To the telephone
service When he first formed his estates
he bough' up numEer OF small farms
and left the occupants TO work them for
q salary his tenants
Tncsc salaries We're iayariahly larger
than the returns received b. WORKING, IN
depenGentiy. So lie had NJ trouble in

These tenants knew Hartman - 4
shrtwd man. But lc has driven no sharp
bargains with them. Tney love Mr.. Har-
rilnan, and today they are rejoicing over
his apparent improvement.

Nicholson to Be Target Boat.
The battle target boat O'Brien having
been towed in and back to the navy yard
by the tug Hercules. Admiral Schroed-r
sent 6 wireless cal for the dismant ed
target boat Nicholson. but owing to the
,ack of sufficient cork to fill her compart-
ments she has not yet leit the yard. A

taken in staying the mast pieces on the

masts are used for the stretching aio1t
OF canvas for target aim from the bat

Night Target Practice.
The after-dark target work OF the
vessels of the fleet is one Of the most
interesting features OF the present svo-
lutions and maneuvers on the drill
grounds.
Each projectilc, as it is sent from
the gun at night, carries with it a
burning fuse resembling much the tail
of comet. This tells the course OF
the. shell, which, frequently richochet-
ing through the water. would other
wise be lost when 1t failed to strike
the lighted target.
The feet late yesterday experienced
its first real storm since its arrival in
southern waters. The wind blew tor
a time between thirty-six and forty
miles an hour, and the ships had u

A CARD.

Mr.. Editor Il wish 70 express
my communication OF your outspoken
editorial In advocacy Of q Crawford
Primary. The views Of Mr.. Dyer
also meet my approval, but, 10 my
mind neither Of you have touched
the key which. at present, sounds O
discordant note among Democrats
In the county and which needs o.
tuning again to the peoples taste
and will. In order 10 send forth those
harmonious notes which will sound
victory In the approaching contest.
To have the ticket named by Q Craw-
ford Primary will indeed mean some
thing 10 those chosen. but with the
party machinery controlled by one
individual and that solely for his
own selfish ends, and without any
regard for the success Of the party
or the welfare OF the county, for.
even should he be on the ticket and
defeated, and though he should drag
everyone else on the ticket 20 defeat
with him. be would still hold his
present Office or be in line for pro-
motion. and with this body (the Cen.
trail Committee) receiving recogni-
ton over the elected representa-
tives Of the party aud the people,
the naming Of the ticket In the man
ner above will do little towards
bringing together the warning fac
tions.
Give US Central Committee, even
though the present, who can feel
that they owe their selection 10 the
people who compose the Democratic
party and not 70 o professional boss
who seems TO see no more In the
party than Ia expressed in the ad-
vice Of one OF his kind several years
back. namely, TO keep In with the
powers that be. and remember that
there isn't a d thing in politics
but what YOU get out Of It,
Let the committee be chosen by
the people, as the present law says
the managing committee may be,
and 10 will do more 10 unite the par.
~ than everything else that can be
done and il the only thing which
will materially cement our forces
for the very important contest this
Fall. Yours truly,
T. T. GRKENwKLL.
