financially interested in the liquor

There are more than 600 peers In the

few attend the sessions Of parliament,
Most Of them are never seen within

They are not only absentee landlords

REALLY DIED At 100?
Harriman's Sister Says News Was
Withheld Two Hours.

Arden, Sept. 10.-Edward II. Harri-
roads the world has ever known, in
his magnificent home on Tower hill,
surrounded by members of his family,
physicians and nurses, succumbed to
an intestinal disorder yesterday after
noon, after fight against disease
which will rank for sheer grit with
his remarkable struggles in the finan-
'cial world.
The exact time of his death is known
only in that limited circle of relatives
and associates who had so effectively
shielded Mr.. Hartman from all out
side annoyances during his last illness.
This time was given to the world as
1886 p m, but Mrs Mary Simons, sis
ter of the dead man, said last night
that the end had come at 1: 80, more
than two hours previous.
Whether this apparent discrepancy
has any bearing on the current belief
that every effort was made to lessen
the influence of the financier's death
on the New York stock market is
problematical. But it Is significant
that the time of his death as officially
announced was just thirty-five min
utes after trading had ceased on the
exchange in New York.
Mr.. Hartman died peacefully and to
the end his brilliant mind retained it's
integrity.
After a relapse on Sunday he soon
sank, and after the noon hour yester-
day there came a relapse which
marked the approach of the end. His
wife, his two daughters, the Misses
Mary and Carol, and his sons, Walter
and Roland, who have been constantly
with him, assembled at the bedside
and a carriage was hastily dispatched
for Mrs. Simons, whose home is here
in Arden, three miles from the Tower
hill mansion.
Driving hurriedly up the mountain
side Mrs. Simons entered the great
silent house in time to be at her
brothers death. She Joined the wife
and children who, with DR.. w. G.. Lyle
of New York and Orlando Hartman,
a brother, and the nurses, formed
group at the bedside.
No spiritual adviser was at hand.
The swiftest automobile in the Harri-
man garage had been dispatched for
the Rev. DR.. ]. Holmes McGuiness,
Episcopalian rector of Arden parish,
and not at home. When found later,
although rushed up the mountainside
at breakneck speed, he did not arrive
until death had come to Arden house.
Orlando Hartman, who is in New
York, said that Mr.. Hartman would
be buried in the family plot in the
little graveyard behind st. Johns Epis-
copal church at Arden. He will rest
beside his eldest son, Edward H. Har-
riman, jr., who died twenty-five years
ago, soon after the family first came
to Arden.

able to be with them yesterday, and
for the remarkable address he had
given.

HIS DAUGHTER
DEAD 3 MONTHS
FRED BoCHE HAS JUST LEARNED
OF ELDEST cHlLD'S DEMISE.
SHE WAS A BRIDE OF A MONTH
The Name of Her Husband Has Not
Been Learned in NorfoIk-Mr. Boche
Yesterday Received a Letter From
His Son-Former Letter Never Came

Fred Boche of Norfolk has just
learned, three months after SIC was
laid to rest, of the death of his eldest
daughter, Lottie, at Salem, Ore. The
young woman, 81 years of age, had
been married but month when her
death came. The name of the man
she married has not been learned by
the family here.
Mr.. Boche yesterday received a let
ter from his son, who went west with
the daughter. In this letter the son
asks whether or not he has heard of
Lottie's death. She died June 8.
The son says he wrote three months
ago but, having heard no word from
home, believes that the original letter
never was received in Norfolk. And
this is the case.
Mr.. Boche did not know that his
daughter was i'll, and does not know
now what caused her death. He has
written for further particulars.

AT FRIENDS ADVICE.
IN NEW YORK SEPT. 20 OR 81
He Has Abandoned Plans for Visit to
BrusseIs-Finds It's Too Late in
Season to Send Boat Back to Get
Those Two Eskimos.

nOSS WO GSkIfnOS.
Copenhagen, Sept. 1O.-Dr. Fred.
erick A. Cook will sail from Christiana
Saturday morning on board the Scan.
dinavian-American liner Oscar II for
New York, where she is due about
September 20 or 81. Probably Cap.
tain Road Amundson will accompany
him. DR.. Cook will leave here tonight
for Christiana. He has abandoned his
proposed visit to Brussels on the adj
vice of friends. The explorer spent
the night at Count Holsteins castle.
With him were DR.. Egan, the Ameri-
can minister, and Miss Egan.
DR.. Cook asked the officials of the
Danish-Greenland administration to ar.
range for the dispatch of one of their
boats to Greenland at his expense to
get the two Eskimos who accompanied
him to the pole. The officials stated
that it is now too late in the season
for such an attempt and advised him
that he must wait for spring, which
he will do. He proposed to Gould
Brokow. who is here with his yacht
FEEDERS, that they make a start for
Greenland Immediately, but Brokow
would not agree to this.
The Copenhagen papers are full of
the controversy. Almost all of them
support DR.. Cooks claims, but throw
no new light on the subject. Captain
Amunden is one of the strongest sup
porters of the explorer.
Backs Up Cook.
DIR. Cook is now backed up by DR..
Edward Bay, the celebrated zoologist
of the expedition under Captain Sver-
drup in the Fran in 1S9S-19O2. On
that expedition Captain Sverdrup
made highly important scientific in
vestlgations and it was over the route
mapped by Sverdrup. that Cook made
his journey northward. DR.. Bay had
a long interview with DR.. Cook at the
conclusion of which he said that while
at first he had doubted Cooks story,
he was now certain of its truth so far
as the route claimed to be taken was
concerned. DR.. Cook, he said, gave
him accurate descriptions of places
and things which no other white man
except Bay had ever seen.
DIR. Bay said that the Danes in
Greenland We're unfriendly to Com
mander ePary because they believed
he treated the Eskimos badly and fore.
ed them to work for him.
