NO STATEMENT OF CAUSE Nation Shocked by News and Friends and Rivals Pay Tribute to “Rail- road King’—His Fortune May Amount to $100,000,000. Arden, N. Y., Sept. 10—Edward H. Harriman, the greatest organizer of ads the world has ever known, a > only lasting defeat of his ac- tive life at the hands of death. Recent estimates of Mr. Harriman’s personal wealth have varied all the way from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. Secluded in his magnificent home on Tower Hill, surrounded by mem- bers of his family, physicians and nurses, he succumbed to an intestinal disorder, after a fight against disease which will rank for sheer grit with his remarkable struggles in the financial world. Dr. Lyle, who has been Mr. Harrt- man’s physician throughout this last illness, has issued no statement con- cerning his ftllness or the cause otf death, but the general understanding is that there was no operation. No Operation Say Four. Four persons are authority for this bellef, among them being Mrs. Simons, his sister. While the policy of reticence that prevailed during Mr. Harriman’s ill- ness was maintained by most of his relatives and associates after his death, Orlando Harriman, who is in New York, discussed the funeral ar- rangements briefly. The services probably will take place Sunday aft- ernoon. Mr. Harriman will be buried in the family plot in the little grave- yard behind St. John’s Episcopal church at Arden. He will rest beside his eldest son, @dward H. Harriman, Jr., who died 22 years ago. Even Enemies Pay Tribute. From all parts of the country there came a fiood of tributes upon Mr. Har- riman’s career and lifework—from railroad presidents, from bankers and from men prominent in all walks of business and financial life. Friends, former business associates and even rivals of the great railroad man spoke as a unit of his tremen- dous power for work. As to the prob- able effect of his death on the finan- cial world, there was variety of opinion, but comment was generally rather guarded. | stead, L. I, One of the finest tributes to Mr. Harriman came from James J. Hill, another giant among the railroad builders. Brief Sketch of Career. Mr. Harriman was born in Hemp- February 25, 1848, the third son of Rev. Orlando Harriman, Jr., rector of St. George’s Episcopal church at Hempstead. His mother came from an old and _ aristocratic family of New Brunswick, N. J. At 16 he found employment as an errand boy in a broker’s office in Wall street. In 1870, before he was 23 years old, he had bought a seat on the New York stock exchange and paid for it | with $20,000 he made in speculation. He learned his elementary lessons in finance in the school of Jim Fisk, Jay Gould and old Commodore Vanderbilt. Harriman’s most spectacular per- formance, and which made his name familiar to all the reading pubiic, was in May, 1901, when he struggled with the Morgan and Hill interests for eon- trol of the Northern Pacific. His quarrel with President Roosevelt was another important epoch in his career. | Mr. Harriman is survived by & widow, two sons, Avery and Roland Harriman, and three daughters, Mrs. Robert L. Gerry, Miss Mary and Miss Carol Harriman. RED MEN MEET IN. DETROIT Great Council of the United States Is Held in the Michigan City.

Allen is waging against | noxious weeds in Olmstead county, was secured when a jury brought in a verdict against Timothy Mack. Mack was arrested on complaint of O. H. Drysdale.

This means that, allotting twenty-five acres to a family, nearly 7,000 families can be furnished with small farms in one of the state’s best ; agricultural districts, providing coun- try homes for at least 25,000 persons. Thief River Falls.—The unusually heavy crop of grain on the farms east of this city on the Red Lake re- servation, which was opened to set- tlement five years ago, will require the services of all the freight boats on the Red Lake river to carry it to this city. Light-draft boats have made reg- ular schedules on the 100 miles from this city to the great Red lakes, but the largest vessel, one built and owned by the farmers for their own convenience exclusively, has been out of commission this season, until the rains of August. Duluth.—Rev. Father Andrew Rieck, of the St. Josephate Independent Polish church, of East End, Duluth, was made a target for eggs and gravel, thrown by women and children, after he had filled the pulpit of St. Peter and St. Paul’s Roman Catholic church at Twenty-fourth avenue west and First street. He retreated and made no effort to defend himself or to re- proach his assailants. The priest filled the pulpit by request, against the wishes of many. The throwing of the eggs and the gravel was in token of the disapproval of the ad- herents of the Roman Catholic church which recognizes the authority of Bishop James McGolrick.
