That "labor conquers all" in the fluc-
tuating scheme of human activities is the |
motto to whose enduring truth San Anto-
nio yesterday paid appropriate tribute.
Under the laws of the State and the Na-
tion, and in conformity with the respect-
id custom of a democratic age, it was
Labor Day,' nut tne responsive attitude
ui perhqjJs the larger pan «<t tnis city's
cosiiioptmian population, made it, indeed*
I'eopie s Day.
The celebration was Indisputably the
most impressive recognition of the su-
premacy of labor and of the necessity of
obedience to irs^ inherent principles by
all classes and stations of society, that
had issued from the long succession of
similar events by which tne city has cus-
tomarily upon tne first Monday In Sep-
tember paid special honor 10 the privi-
lege and duty that inhere in honest, in-
dustrious work.
The celebration was tantamount to an
ovation to tile Ideal ol Libor. It obsessed
the eif. . it took possession ot cxery man,
woman and child whose duties of routine
life did not forbid indulgence in the car-
nival spirit by which the people's testi-
monial to the merit of Labor was mani-
fested.
The day was notably significant of the
city s admiration of the bone and sinew
of its own substantial development and
was eloquent of its gratitude for the
activity in the march of its progress <if
those who specifically constitute the la-
boring class. At the same time, the seri-
ous aspect of i he day was brightened
bv laughter, music and merriment, the
pleasure of which played tuneful ac-
companiment to the expressions of trust
and honor which the primary purpose
of the occasion Inspired.
Balmy weather lent lit; enchantment to
the success of I^abor Pay. and the pro-
grant itself wes in a measure significant
of the life and Industry of the laboring
class to which all mankind belongs. The
parade in the morning represent-
ed the appearance of life's workers
upon the field of activity Hopeful,
strong and buoyant were Its member?*,
willing and ready to cope with whatever
emergency the future's uncertain prob-
lems might produce. Addresses from
statesmen In the afternoon furnished
words of wisdom ami instruction that are
necessary in the upbuilding of a success-
ful opposition to the adversities by which
life, even in Its most Inviting form. Is
confronted, and were interspersed with
various phases of recreation and refresh-
ment enjoyed amid the natural beauty
of one of the world's alluring: play-
grounds. Contests of athletic vigor and
skill, symbolic of the sterner struggles
of human careers for which transitory
prizes of fame and fortune are offered,
were followed at night by the brilliant
coronation of the King and Queen of La-
bor Day—a cer« mony aptly suggestive of
life's culminating glory, its own well-
crowned career.
Not a hitch in the program, not an
untoward Incident to mar the beauty or
pleasure of the day. and the celebration
passed, to take front rank In the history
of flan Antonio's popular achievements.
Across the fading horizon of the day
San Antonlans saw in letters of enduring
light, "LABOR OMNIA VINCTT," and
believed.

No Labor Day festivities in San An-
tonio have ever equaled or come near
equaling those of yesterday. From the

tivities, then took place. Miss Anna

dered at will and enjoyed the last hours
of the day to the utmost.
The parade was all that the labor hosts
of San Antonio had promised it would
be. The thousand* who lined the curb
to witness it were kept pleased and in-
terested.

NEW YORK, Sept. tJ.—Edward II. Har-
rinian, railway wizard, is reported sink-
ing at his mountain home in Arden.
The news wag brought to New York by
long-distance telephone from Arden that
Harrlman had suffered a sinking spell In
the night and his condition suddenly had
become critical.
While no i onflrmatlon could be had
from the Harrlman home, partial In-
formation that Mr. Harrlman is very low
came from another source.
Telegrauh dispatches from Arden y
that a second nurse arrived nt-the Harrl-
man home this afternoon. The young
woman carried two heavy satchels Other
than admitting that she was m profes-
sional nurse and hid been sent for by
the Harrimans, she would make no state-
ment. She was met by the Harrfman
automobile and taken t«» the house on
Tower Hill.
A report reached New York today from
Arden that the financier hail suffered a
relapse late Sunday night and that for
a time his condition was very serious.
Dr. W ff. Lyle, who accompanied Mr.
Harrlman Europe, was the only phy-
sician In attendance and It Is said he ad-
ministered oxygen and sent a hurry call
to New York for a trained nurse.
The bulletins giver out privately Sun-
day to friends of Mr Harrlman w»re
that he was in about the same condition
as the previous week and thst no anx-
iety was felt regarding the outcome of
his case.
SUFFERED A r,M<\RP RELAPSE,
Harriman's Physician Says He Is
Hoping for the Best.
ARDEN, N. Y . ffept fiK, If. Hnrrl-
man is not as well as he was a week ago
on the day of his personal assurance that
led the lending newspapers to relax the
watch that had been kept there for four
days. Dr. W. G. Lyle. Mr. Harriman s
personal physician, tonight gave out a
brief bulletin from Arden House on his
patient's condition, as follows:
"Mr. Harrlman has suffered a relapse.
Tie had a sharp attack of indigestion on
Sunday but rested comfortably. We hope
for the beet.'*
Dr. Lyle appeared anxious that Mr.
Harriman's condition should not be ex-
aggerated.
"Mr. Harrlman Is a sick man, but we
hope for the best," he repeated when
pressed for a further statement. The
physician was besieged with telephone
inquiries following a day of rumors which
had apparently started in New York and
had disturbed Wall Sftreet through the
latter part of the market day.
Two Incidents at Arden today seemed
to Indicate that Mr. Harriman's condi-
tion again was believed to be serious. A
trained nursp was hastily summoned from
St. Luke's Hospital and arrived at Tower
Hill this afternoon. Another incident
was the postponement of lawn picnics ar-
ranged by Mr. Harriman s daughter for
the children of the TCpIscopal Church here
today. No reason was given for the post-
ponement, but the parishioners were of
the opinion that the doctor had advised
complete quiet foT the patient.
