UNION PACIFIC OFFICES ARE
CLOSED IN RESPECT TO DEAD

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 10.-A general
order was issued today closing all gem
eral division and district offices on the
Union Pacific system all day Saturday
out of respect to the memory of e. H.
Hartman.
1t is assumed that similar orders will
be issued today over the Southern Pa
cific, Oregon Short Line and associated
roads.
Vice President Kruttschnitt has noti
fed the general managers of the Harri-
man lines that the funeral will occur at
$3.50 p. m. Sunday, and at the corre-
spending time on each division of the
system, all work and business of every
description should cease for one minute
out of respect to the dead.
A general order has been issued from
headquarters of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line
and connecting systems to drape ALL
general offices from Kansas City to
Denver, from Omaha to San Francisco
and from Ogden to Portland in black
for a period OF thirty days.
Aside from this tribute OF respect at
all general headquarters Of the diff
ferent systems all divisions and district
Headquarters and all the more impor-
tant stations on the entire Hartman
system will be enshrouded in black.
Local railroad officials are advocat-
ing the holding of meetings on every
division of the different Hartman lines,
wherein expressions of sorrow shall be
made and fitting resolutions of regret
adopted over the death of the marvel
Gus man who built UP the most sue
cessful railroad organization ever eff
fected.

management of the leading railroad
lines, and although his. influence in
financial circles was important, 1t is
doubtful If he was interested in the
speculative markets to the extent that
sometimes wa. attributed to him.
although he was at times large
purchaser of securities for investment,
or control, and. therefore, an important
influence in Wall street, during the last
year he devoted himself principally to
building up for permanent success
full operationn the great railroad sys-
TENS with which he was connected and
in whose policies his voice was po-
tential.
THE perception of wisdom, the skill,
the perseverance and the patience he
possessed and brought to bear on these
interests have placed them in con-
dition which insures them against the
possibility of failure in the future.
"Mr. Hartman was aggressive and
sometimes incurred the displeasure and
criticism of his acquaintances, but he
most earnestly desired peace and
friendship with all. His death undoubt-
edly will be keenly felt in the business
world, and it may temporarily affect
adversely some conditions; but, big and
influential as he was, the great and
growing prosperity of the country can
not long be interrupted by his death.
Conditions and prospects were never
better. Fortunately, the affairs Of the
concerns with which Mr.. Hartman was
particularly identified are in good
hands. Men who are thoroughly capa-
BILE and familiar with every detail Of
the business and who know and under
stand the policies which make for sue
cess are in control and will remain in
charge.
eff I were to pay a personal tribute
to Mr.. Hartman, would say he was a
good friend to those he believed to be
his friends. He was kind, generous and
friendly in his relations with those
people, but his most admirable char
acteristic was his affection and con-
siderate regard for the members of his
Iamily."

PARIS BOURSE NOT
AGITATED BY NEWS

PARIS. Sept 10.-Although the Paris
hourse for several days has been hang
ing anxiously on news of the condition
of e. FL. Hartman, the announcement
of tie financiers death did not create
shock, Prices opened steady, in some
cases showing Improvement over yes
terday's close.
Among French financiers Mr.. Harri-
mans immense power and capacity
were widely recognized, but the gem
eral feeling is today that the United
States is SO rich In resources and the
productive capacity is so great that the
death of one man, now matter how
far-reaching his interests, VIII not stop
the onward march of the country s
prosperity.
The view taken by Americana inter-
ested in the markets on this side OF the
water is best shown by the fact that
offices of bankers and brokers DONG
business in American securities had a
predominance of buying orders this
morning.
Although most of the American
financiers who have been here during
the summer already have eft Paris,
those remaining, like Joseph Wood,
vice president of the Pennsylvania rail-
road: Otto Kahn of New York, George
F. Baker and e. Fl. Gary, generally
CONSIDER IndJ LIle ellSCl u vs.. Ahe'i -
mans death on the market will be tenn
porary and slight.
They agree on the commanding posi-
tion Mr.. Hartman held in the railroad
world of America. but they say his
properties will fall into good hands.
Death Discounted
Mr. Harriman's death was almost
completely discounted.

great interests of the country.
Mr.. Gary said today: MIR. Hartman

traffic affairs, rates and the handling
of the vast commerce annually trans
ported over the Hartman system.
Avoided the Details
On assuming the presidency of prac-
tically all the corporations composing
the two great systems, Mr.. Hartman
was confronted with the problem of
designing an organization that would
economically and efficiently supervise
their operation without imposing upon
him any of their details
This he did by creating two unique
positions in the railroad work-the Of
fees of director of maintenance and
operation, held by julius Kruttschnitt,
and traffic director, held by John c.
Stubs. Two men with Offices in Chi
cago have been given complete respon-
sibility for the active management of
the system, just as IL Hartman had
not existed, although reporting directly
to him and with complete jurisdiction
over $4,000 miles of rail lines and $4,000
miles of water lines.
These men are still on the job, and
Chicago railroad men believe the man
agement of the roads will go on just
the same, no matter who Is finally
chosen president at the annual meet
ing of the directors, unless the organ
ization is changed at that time.

PARIS NEWSPAPERS
PAY MANY TRIBUTES
TO DEAD MAGNATE

PARIS, Sept. Accommodating on
the death of Mr. Hartman, the even
ing papers pay tribute to his enormous
achievements, but they are dunn
founded that such immense influence
could be concentrated into the hands
of a single individual.
'In France we are unable to under
stand" one paper says, that the life
and death of single man cannot only
create a revolution in Wall street but
affect Europe. Fortunately Paris Is
only slightly affected, despite the re-
cent effort to subordinate the market
here to American influence"
The Journal des Debats says Mr..
Hartman naturally made enemies be-
cause business is the art of getting
possession of other peoples money.
1t expresses the opinion that Mr..
Hartman was victorious in his fight
with Theodore Roosevelt and says Mr..
Roosevelt's campaign against the
trusts has been without result and Is
now virtually abandoned.

DEATH OF HARTMAN
FORESEEN IN LONDON

LONDON, Sept 10.-The death of e.
H. Hartman was anticipated by the
stock exchange, and after long period
of uncertainty the effect was not as
pronounced as had been expected.
Prices were marked down at the open
ing, but the market was quite uncon-
cerned and it recovered quickly and
well when the buyers came forward.
Before the market opened several
prominent jobbers made wide prices at
one or two points below parity. Re-
purchasing by bears who had sold short
on the chance of Mr.. Harriman's death,
and buying on American account, how
ever, soon brought the market TO q
much higher level.
Union Pacific, after being quoted at
1871 ex-dividend, rose to 199%. United
States Steel, common, changed hands
between TN and TIN, ex-dividend, and
then reached 79h. Southern Pacific
went from 124 to 1851.
The belief is general that big Wall
street interests are protecting the
market.
Broker in Trouble
The operator reported last night to
be in trouble Is an outside broker.
The death of E. H. Hartman has
caused very general regret throughout
the financial district of London, where
his work in building up the railroad
systems in America which he con-
trolled has been greatly admired.
MANY of the best known financiers or
London, including Lord Rothschild,
are out of the city, but Leopold Roths-
child said today:
"As we had not the pleasure OF MI
Harriman's acquaintance it would be
presumptuaus in us to say more than
that we regret the loss of very great
man."
Sir Felix Schuster and other financiers
expressed regret at the passing OF Mr..
Hartman, described by one of them as
a great organizer" but otherwise they
preferred not to be quoted. They all
agreed that any great slump in prices
was unlikely, as it was certain that Mr.
Harrimans vast interests would be
looked after by able men and that
American bankers and financiers would
support the market should any alarm
develop.

DR.. .McGuiness insisted that up to the
day before Mr.. Hartman died his most
intimate friends believed he might get
well. Judge Robert s. Lovett, consld-
cred Mr.. Harriman's chief business ana
legal adviser, explained today his poll
CIV of silence which baffled all seekers
after confirmation regarding Mr.. Harrl-
mans condition. He said;
"Mr. Harriman's life was so inter-
woven with Wall street and financial
affairs that any change in his condition
would have affected the financial world.
1 thought it advisable not to run
the danger of an eruption and so said
nothing about his condition. Any state j.
ment one way or the other would have
been misunderstood"
Partly from Judge Lovett and partly
from Charles T. Ford, superintendent
of the Hartman estate, it was learned
today that the extensive work on the
estate planned by Mr.. Hartman during
the last two years would be carried out
according to his wishes.

CHICAGO INTERESTED
IN GUESSING MAN TO
SUCCEED DEAD CHIEF

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The speculation
as to 1arriman's probable successor is
arousing much interest here. No Of
fetal information is expected until after
the next meeting of the Union and
Southern Pacific directors, and the
opinion of railroad men seemed divided
yesterday as to whether one man would
succeed to Harriman's titles and power,
or whether the executive work OF the
system would be distributed to the men
who are now in active charge.
In case a new president Is elected IT
is believed in Chicago that 1t VIII be

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 10.-When
informed of the death of e. H Harri-

sician of John d. Rockefeller, said
IL am sorry to hear the news of Mr..
Harriman's death. My suspicious as to
the nature of his illness, published in

proved correct. Undoubtedly he was
suffering from such a malignant case
of cancer that when the secret opera
tion was performed some time ago the
doctors realized how futile 1t would be
to attempt the removal of the growth.

NEW YORK MOURNS
LOSS OF HARTMAN

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Signs of
sorrow at the death of Mr.. Hartman
were numerous in the financial dis
trict today.
The flag of the stock exchange was
at half mast, and similar tribute was
paid by other institutions and banking
houses.
All of the Hartman Offices in New
York will be closed until Monday with
the exception of the treasurer's and the
transfer offices of the company.
While no meetings of the Hartman
boards of directors have been called, it
is expected the executive committee of
the Union Pacific meet next Tues
day and arrange for the temporary
succession to the positions held by Mr..
Hartman.
1t is believed the powers of Mr..
Kruttschnitt, general director of
maintenance and operation of the
Union Pacific, and of Mr.. Stubbs, gem
eral director of traffic, will be in
creased.
The Kuhn-Loeb National City bank
interests are expected to continue as
chief financial agents for the Hartman
properties.
Jacob H. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
declined to make any statement today
regarding the future policy of the Har-
riman properties, except to say that
Mr.. Harriman's plans of construction
and development doubtless would be
| carried out.
Official Statement
The following statement was given
out at the Union Pacific offices in this
city today:
"The report published today that Mr..

"He died at 1855 p. M, as was i'm
mediately announced, both at Arden
and at 120 Broadway.
Mrs Simons did not arrive until
after his death and authorizes me to
deny that she intended to make any
statement fixing the time.
(signed) "W. G. LYLE"
Although it has been announced that
the funeral of Mr.. Hartman will be
private, many noted persons, among
them the associates of the railroad
organizer are arranging to attend the
simple services, which are to be held In
the little church at Arden Sur say
afternoon. Until then the body will
remain in the mansion on Tower Hill,
watched by the members of the imme-
diate family.
Robert L. Gerry, Mr. Harriman's
brother-in-law, has announced that
nobody knew the cause of Mr.. Harri-
mans illness, and that nothing could
be found out without an autopsy This
he said would not be performed, and
therefore the cause of death will never
be known.
Deny Operation
According to Mr.. Gerry and other
members of the family, no operation
was performed. because the most noted
physicians and surgeons in the world
had failed to diagnose his case. and as
| they did not know what was the matter
with him they could do nothing for
| him. Mr. Hartman worked up until
ninety minutes of his death.

DEATH WAS DUE TO CANCER

VIENNA, Sept. 1O.-Prof. Adolph
Struempell, the Viennese specialist
whom the late E. H. Hartman came to
Europe to consult, now admits that
when he saw Mr.. Hartman in July he
diagnosed his complaint as cancer.
PORT Struempell, who is now at Bres-
lau, has sent the following signed state
ment to the Associated Press:
'I diagnosed Mr.. Harriman's COM
plant as carcinoma of the stomach the
end of July. I could not of course,
communicate this diagnosis to private
inuuirers, but I informed Mr. Harri-
mans American physicians that the
condition did not indicate that an ope-
ration was hopeless. l hastened Mr..
Harriman's departure homeward.'

The vice president said he felt deeply
the death of E. H. Hartman.
"Mr. Hartman was man OF unusual

FOR DEATH OF HARTMAN

BERLIN, Sept. 1O.-Private cable
grams to banking and brokerage inter-

The bourse opened with American
securities fractionally off. but the mar
ket generally was firm.
Isadore Lowe, the great German in

Wise Talks
By the
"Office Boy"
Once upon a time girl who
had a good job at a big salary
and no one but herself to spend
it on, married a "tight-wad."
She never complained to her
friends, being proud and re-
served, but it is noticed when-N
ever she sees a COW or a calf
tied in a field with short rope,
with the grass eaten off as far
as their mouths can reach. she
sheds a silent tear of sympathy,
and then lengthens their ropes.
The man who is big enough to
\ do a big business on small
margin, is big enough to sacri-
n flee the nickel to get the dol

life out of the eagle. If such a
4 man makes a fortune, he makes
1t by saving a penny at time;
the other man develops for
4 tune in brains and far-sighted
4 business ability. If he is un.
fortunate and loses all, he can
begin over and build up another
4 fortune in a few years. The
man who does a small business
on a big margin has nothing
left If he loses his fortune. He
can but begin over again and
save a penny at a time, just as
the "tight-wad" or miser does.
His little business has not given
him any experience that's
worth anything. He has lived
unto himself, and has never
been heard of by the world.
Successful men put more into
their business than mere physi-
cal energy, force AMI brains;
they incite courtesy, kindness
4 and charity. The man who Is
not fair or generous will never
feel right. and will not consider
himself a success. 1t is mis-
d fortune to be a "tightwad."
The man who gets all he can,
n and keeps all he gets, regard
less of the "how," will never te
considered success by the

& about 1t himself. 1t pays to be
generous, it pays to be fair and
