HARRIMAN IS TO RETIRE

Belects Leonor Fresnor Loree as Successor in Railway Business. The friends of E. H. Harriman, men close to him, believe that his gradual retirement from business is contemplated. While emphatic denials were made at the office of the Union Pacific railroad that E. H. Harriman’s health has broken down, it is generally known that he has already selected his successor in the operating department, and is training him for this important position. This successor is to be Leonor Fresnor Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson company and the closest associate of Mr. Harriman in all matters pertaining to railroad operation.
