coprngcment this morning from. Wil-

that he believed the work of complet»

for her by the death of her first born.
son and the birth of the three young-
01‘ children. In spite oi’ all its cnstlod
magnificent-p “Ardcn house" to her
will always recall the last days of her
husband and his heroic struggles for
life. The house has not a cheerful’as-
soclatlon. its broad halls. its area?
dining-room and its rows of guos
cilambcrs have never licen used to
entertain any guests other than physi-
cians who flocked to the house to help
the owner in his last fight and two or
three of his clot-est business associates
whose presence was required by the
dying man’s wish to have no detail of
the vast interests be felt slipping from
his grasp unsettled.

The Harriman family has shut itself
up alonc to its grief. Superintendent.
McClellan on their behalf asked the
newspaper men at Turner today to
make‘no attempt to reach the house.
lie said that for a day or two the dead

man's nearest relatives who are fillh“ ,

cred at Arden house preferred tore-
ceive no visits of either condolence cit
business.

Theltelegraph station at Arden has ‘

been kept busy since yesterday noon
receiving messages of sympathy from
all parts of the world. The telegrams
are being sent up the hill in baskets
with hundreds oflletters that began
to! phltr in this morning.. One secre-
tary at the house is kept busy opening
and answering these messages. '

It is probable that none of the fam-
ily now on the bill will leave Arden
untii‘niler the funeral.

Mr. Harriman in July he diagnoscd his
complaint as cancer.

Prof. ‘Struempell. who is now at
Bresiau, has sent the following signed
statement to the Associated Press:
"1 diagnosed Mr. Harriman's complaint
as cancerlnoma of the stomach the
end of July. 1 could not of course
communicate this diagnose to private
inquirers, but I iiii’ormadgblr. Harri-
man's American physicians that the
conditions did not indicate that an op-
