From a. u. Directorate.

SAN FRANCISCO Sept. sc. p.

cific Company. has only retired temper
arly from the directorate Of the Central
Pacific Company, and VIII return to his
former position probably at the annual

The authority for these statements is
". II. Mills. second vice president Of the
Central Pacific Company. who states that
the temporary designations were caused
by Mr.. Gates absence In Europe and Mr..
Huntington's summer trip to London. Mr..
Mills stated that the absence from the
United States OF these two directors and
OF Mr.. Brstherton. who Is a resident Of
London. left the board without a quorum
in this country. and so the designations
were offered and temporary election OF
substitutes followed
Afr. Mills says the designations took place
July 10. and were not announced because
Of their temporary character.
The real cause Of these changes Is said
TO be the dissatisfaction OF English
stockholders and some OF the Amer
leans. as well. over the fact that
80 many OF the directors are non
residents Of San Francisco the princi-
pal place Of business Of the read. c. r.

way Of utilizing these monopolies for the
benefit of the whole people. although IL be
