Aug. Harriman Is not to undergo an operation. at least for the present This authentic statement was made to-day by Jacob II. Schiff. the New York financier, after a visit to Mr.

Harriman at Arden House. In a talk with the correspondent of The Times at the station at Arden this afternoonr Mr. Schiff declare that Mr, Harriman condition is not such as to demand an operation, Mr. Schiff spent three hours with Mr. Harriman, having arrivedat Arden at o'clock this morning.

The train on which be came does not ordinarily atop at Arden, but the halt was made to permit him to alight One of Mr. Harrman's automobiles was waiting for him. When, newspaper men attempted to talk with Mr. Schiff he waved there aside, remark ing: I haven't anything to say. I have come here merely to see a friend upon Ms return from Europe." Mr.

Schiff uttered a decisive "no when asked If had not been aent for owing- to Mr. Harrlman's supposedly dan gerous condition. When Mr. Schiff eet out for Mr. HarrU man's estate his countenance wss stern.

When he returned to catch the 2 o'clock train back to New York his face was wreathed In smiles. How did you find Mr. Harriman? asked the newspaper men. In fine spirits and In quite Rood health." replied the financier. "Mr.

Har. riman is a well man." Then the reports of his being in a condition of collapse are not true?" was asked. They are not" replied Mr. Schiff. Ko Operation, Mr.

Sehlff Says. Will there be an operation? was the next question. No. Positively no," replied Mr. Schiff firmly, there Is no reason for an operation; no cause for one." "What is Mr.

Harrlman's ailment? was aaked. v. He has suffered a pervout break said Mr. 6chirjLewanted to get-back so as to have the benefit of thin fresh mountain air and a complete He Is getting both.

Schiff was asked. i 'Of course I did." he replUid. with a smile. "We sat on the vern.I.i ill I cine and had a chat of mo-c hours. Mr.

AH he needs Is rest and I said he is getting plenty of that" Mr, Schiff was asked ft he knew that oxygen tanks had been taken to Arden Place, presumably to be used while Mr. Harriman was undergoing an operation. The financier laughed. Are you sure they are oxygen tanks?" he asked. Then he added: I would not suppose that any man would need artificial stimulants up iere, where there is so much fresh air.

Those tanks were not for Mr. Harriman." Did you learn anything to lead you to beltve there may be an operation In the near future? was asked, Nothing," was the reply. I don't think one is contemplated. Mr. Schiff remarked that he hsd-read that Dr.

George W. Crlle of Cleveland, Ohio, was on his way to Arden Flace but he said Dr. Crile had not arrived. There seems to have -been a mistake about Dr. Crile," he said.

Dr. Mdulnnes spent Friday night at the Harriman home. He had been much concerned -at the reports of Mr. Harrlman's health and called to ascertain the exact situation.

Before he left for Chester this afternoon he said he had been greatly relieved tt finding Mr. Harriman so welt Getting; 8treagrer. Reefer "Mr. Harriman is not at all in a critical condition," said Df. McGulnness.

He ha, suffered an attack of due, I believe, to stomach trouble, but he Is getting over that He Is rapidly, regain-Ing his strength. So far aa I could see, there were no preparations at Arden Place for an operation, and Mr. Harriman certainly does not look like a man who la In need of one. This morning Mr. Har.

rlman spent most of the time on the veranda of his home. He was Interested in tha masons and carpenters who are working on his rrounda. He did most of the talking while I was with him. His conversation had most to do with what work la being carried on. He hwd little to say of his health excepting that he was feeling much better after the falluge Incident to the voyajre.

There seemed sufficient reason last night to believe that Dr. Crile had arrived St the Harriman tiouee during- th even-In, having bewi hurriedly summoned from Bretton Woods. N. H. A dlspstch to Arden gave the information that Dr.

Crlie had left Bretton Woods, and the deduction was made that as he had abruptly broken off h1 vacation ha had been summoned to tr. Harrlman's side. A mysterious visitor had left the train at Arden the evening- and was driven in the Harriman automobile to Arden Place. To-day it developed that this caller waa Dr. McOuinness.

Williamson, he has an elght-aore site' for his handsome Summer residence entirely free. And. what la more, ha does not have to pay taxes upop the eight, acres, as the assessors have never become convinced that the land exists. Yet Williamson regards It as equal In value to the highest priced land on Long Island. Williamson bought 40 acres, "more or front John Sammis eight years ago, for $17,500, paying $3,000 down and giving a mortgage- payable In gold for $12,500.

Sammis thought he had made a good sale. His friends didn't think so. as the land has a water' frontage of a mile and a half on Huntington Bay and Northport Harbor. The land, which had been assessed at $3,000 or $0,000. became suddenly Intereatlng to the' town assessors when Williamson sold a few acres to Austin Corbin.

He holds 'that eight acres bv virtue of the more or clause In his deed.

PITTSBURG Aug. With to-day session the Inquiry into the peonage charges brought against the Pressed Steel Car Company ended, so far as the taking of testimony is concerned. Special Agent Hoagland and several Secret Service operators will continue the Investigation oa different lines for some time. Whether the charges have been substantiated or not is a secret with District Attorney Jordan, who will report to the Department of Justice later as to whether or not In his opinion an action can be maintained in court No matr how the peonage charge is acted upon. It is practically certain that the Immigration Bureau will endeavor to bring about an inquiry into the charge that many of the men inside the stockade have been shipped direct to McKees Rocks from Immigrant vessels without realising that they were to assume the duties of strikebreakers and without understanding how they were to be paid, or whatperlls they would encounter.

Word hns reached the District Attorney that in numerous cases immigrants have been sent to the plant without having complied with the Immigration laws. At a mass meeting held on Indian Mound today a number of the Strike leaders went among the crowd asking the foreigners to ascertain the names of men who had been imported in this alleged manner. At to-day's hearing there were about ftwenty witnesses called by the Govern ment, all of whom testified to brutal treatment in the plant Several of them said that they had been kept within the stockade against their will when they wanted to escape. Martin Harts of Newark. N.

brought a bloody shirt Into the courtroom as evi dence that he had been severely punished by one of Cohen's pals, "Joe" Sheppard.

He talked with your correspondent about the Philadelphia street-ear strike.
