CHIEFTAINS SEE ACTIVE FUTURE FOR RAILROADS | Williamson, of C. B. & 0., to Take Presidency of New York Central. BY HOMER L. ROBERTS United Press Staff Correspondent STOCKTON, Cal., Nov. 13.—An active and prosperous future for American railroading was seen by three leading transportation executives today in discussing a shift of railway control in which they are central figures. President Frederick E. Williamson of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy revealed he is planning to accept the presidency of the New York Central, where he began his railroad career under Patrick E. Crowley, the retiring executive. The elevation of President Ralph Budd of the Great Northern to Williamson's post with the C. B. & Q. W&s taken for granted from remarks made by him and Arthur Curtiss James—the latter regarded as the “man behind the scenes" in the new railroad picture. And finally, Vice-President William C. Kenney of the Great Northern was described as the probable candidate to succeed to the presidency of this new transcontinental line. The statements were made by the officials on their return from Bieber, Cal., where they dedicated anew mountain line which brings the Great Northern into California from and St. Paul—realizing the dreams of "Empire Builder" James J. Hill from the time he began extending the Great Northern west. President Budd viewed the new Great Northern-Western Pacific line as one of many signs of returning prosperity. James added a word of caution. "Prosperity Is not coming back in Ipn minutes,” he said. "But it is my hope that the bottom of the depression was reached four weeks ago when the new bank system was brought out. Since then we have a marked increase in commodity prices, which, in the final analysis, is unmistakable evidence of returning confidence." Williamson announced himself as "not one who believes the railroads have seen their best days and that transportation will be taken over by motor trucks or other means.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

scandals transjiortaUtm problems new fire alarm boxes. In 1874, as now, the press of the day brought these questions to the readers of the Indianapolis Sun, predecessor of The Times, which sold for 5 cents a copy and carried the publisher's statement in support of this rate. A copy of the newspaper published March 21, 1874, is owned by Patrick Burnett, 2427 Massachusetts avenue. , On the front page a story bemoaned efforts of individuals throughout the country to become authors and playwrights. The story said there was an army of scribblers, each one trying to find fame and fortune. The paper, printed eight years

after the Civil war, brought before its readers the highest points of whisky diffficulties, and described in detail a brawl in front of a Chicago saloon, brought about by the antics of several drunks. The people of Indianapolis, at that time, also were sarcastic about the failure of gentlemen of public note to bring a railroad through Indianapolis, as they had promised. And newspaper men were given the benefit of the doubt in those days. In one story a reporter who had aided two girls involved in a scandal was described as a ‘good man of the press." That was before gangster and newspaper movies were the amusements of the day. The only Indianapolis business

house remaining today that advertised in the Sim is Charles Mayer & Cos. Located on the same Washington street site, the firm was having a sale of children's carriages and bird cages. Front page ads regaled medical supplies and lamp chimneys for 5 cents each. The publisher, whose office was at 39 Virginia avenue, said for 5 cents a copy he was "publishing a larger paper than necessary, but S2 a year is about the right rate between man and man on such paper." Quarters of a forest ranger at Mammoth Springs, Wyo., are surrounded by a fence made of elk antlers.
