HARTMAN GUARDED LIKE
A CZAR WOULD BE

Arden, N. Y, Aug. 27.-WhateveI
the actual prognosis for Mr.. Harri-
mans recovery, 1t is evident that his
family has determined that he shall
make no further sacrifices OF vitality
in the effort to reassure the public
and buy up the stock market.
No armed guards patrol his estate
but for all effective purposes of hui
man intercourse, his isolation on his
mountain-top is as absolute as any
devised for an Eastern potentate
Except the selected few of his own
immediate encourage not a soul sees
him, and no word from the outer
world reaches to his chamber soil.
tude. His rest cure" is absolute.
All approaches to the grounds are
picketed, and admission is denied
outsiders. The telephone operator al
Arden with access on a direct line
to the house has orders to make nc
connections from the outside.
He has not walked a hundred steps
since he arrived in America, and
spends the greater portion of his
time in his invalid's chair and 9
portable couch. He was out on the
veranda about three minutes Thurs
day, but as soon as his physician
spied him, he was brought back in
doors. DR.. Doolitle made a flying
visit to New York last night, but
when asked IL he was arranging fol
an operation he replied: Its no
bodys business"
He is guarded in his mountain
Businesses more closely than Rus
sian Gear. No one sees him without
orders, and no one even approaches
within three miles unless they are
summoned. He owns the entire
mountain. which is approached onl,
by winding automobile road and
inclined railway. The newspaper
men are compelled TO stay at Silver
Fox Inn. six miles from Hartmann
home. They are received with opel
hospitality everywhere and II look
as IL the whole country is made up o
his retainers.

Cleveland, Aug. 27.--Dr. II. C.
Bigger, private physician to John ID.
Rockefeller, declares his belief that
Hartman is suffering from cancer
OF the stomach. He says the course
of treatment under European special
lists indicates a diagnosis of cancer.
II so, Bigger thinks an operation is
only a forlorn hope. and Harrimen
has only a few weeks to live. He
laid three things induce cancer,
rapid eating, great worry and lack of
proper exercise. All three are causes
in Harriman's case. The Skiagraph-
ing process, also a diet of rice and
bismuth in Europe show the doctors
are treating for cancer. Only two
results are possible from the coming
operation--the cancer may be located
so that by altering the junction of
the stomach and bowels. 1t may be
eliminated and life prolonged, or 1t
may not be located, then II would
only relieve short time and he will
live only few weeks. He said the
after cure" is probably an express
sion coined to outwit true reports Of
his condition.
