Show UNUSUAL SUSPENSION OF INDUSTRY IS TRIBUTE NEW YORK, Sept. 11. The action of tho Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad systems in suspending operations opera-tions for one minute during the funer;)I of Edward TT. Ifurrimau Sunday afternoon after-noon will be followed by most of tho other railroads In which the financier was interested, and by other interests. Tho V,ro railroad and the Delaware & Hudson, it was wiid, would join the western. Ilarrimau .lines in the stoppage of trains at tho hour of the funeral, end it n:.s thought tha; tint Illinois enti.il would also show tho same mark of respect. re-spect. For this one minute on Sunday afternoon af-ternoon not a wheel will be turning on any pare of the 15,000 miles comprising Jtbe Union Pacific and Southern Pacific syatems, and the same quiet may bo ordered or-dered on other systems included in tho Go.000 miles of railroad which, to a greiiTer or less degree, were under tho domination of E. U. Ilarrimau. The hist time any such mark of respect was shown by the transportation systems of tho country was on tho occasion of the funeral of President Molvinle'. It w.is not recalled yesterday that any bti.di cessation of railroad operation on the scalo on which it is to-be done on Sunday Sun-day was ever ordered i'or- any private individual. All the Offices Closed. All the offices of tho Harriman railroads rail-roads in the cast were closed lodav until Monday. Already the flags at all'points on the system arc nt half-mast, and so, too, are those of the Erie railroad. Thus across tho entire continent flags are at half-mast for the man who is regarded as the greatest railroad man that this country, or the world for that matter, ever knew. The system of railways which he brought under his influences ftv'j extends twico across tho continent, and B-:'!l 'IH the marks of respect will today and to- w-l !H morrow be paid to his memory from tho Hi' 3 iH Atlantic to the Pacific. flf 4M Among the physicians in this cit-s &' Mil who havo had wide experience in can- Eft. iH ecr cases, the diagnosis credited to Dr. Ift'V'Hfl btreumpcl, the Vienna cancer specialist. EL'?iiVul that Mr. Harriman was afflicted with PiiiSfll a cancer, js accepted as plausible and lvjtl conclusive. Carcinoma is tno species of il'MiH cancer in which fatalities usually oc- f curv When a death is reported the pro- Iffi1-' ll icssion assumes that carcinoma canned !?t !)IH it uulcss another form is specifically I'ltf,; named. T-j: Operation Must Be Early. !( Carcinoma is deep-seated and attacks 'ikurlH vital organs.

EH' tn iH Supposition of cancer in this case wag lit 1 strengthened by the, known symptonia S'; d displayed by Mr. Harriman and the dur fe'C Vl ration of his illness.
