IHford of the standard OH Company Has
Not Joined 1t.
President J. B. Stetson Of the California
Traffic Association denies most emphatically
that E. A. Tilford of the Standard Oil
Company has joined the association as re-
ported.
- do not know" he said. "where the
rumor found its origin, but l can easily
imagine j am told that Mr.. Tilford, few
nights ago, while in the company of some
cOnvivial friends, announced, with great
deal of gusto, that he and his business aSsO-
ciates would break up the Traffic Associa-
ton. This remark, made. perhaps, more in
jest than in earnest, was duly applauded,
and caused some little comment in certain
quarters. In fact more talk resulted than
Mr.. Tiford desired TO cause. and he saw, l
think, that he had rather put his foot in it..
Tho result was, so i am told, that he got
hold of a newspaper reporter and poured
into his ear a tale about the great benefits 10
be derived from the Traffic Association.
The reporter Immediately jumped at the con-
clu.ion that Mr.. Tilford had allied himself
with the movement. That is the whole
story"
1t has been decided to be unnecessary to
call the Traffic Association together to re-
ceive and take action upon the report Of
the Nicaragua Canal Committee. Captain
Merry had conference with President
Stetson on this point yesterday. The by
laws of the association provide that ''the
Executive Committee shall have entire con-
troll and management of the affairs Of the
association" and this provision covers the
case. The report will. therefore, when it is
ready. come before the Executive COM
mittee.
