PROMOTIONS IN THE NORTHWESTERN.
CHANGES IN GENERAL MANAGER's OFFICE IN
CHICAGO
Chicago, Nov. %.-Two important promotions
have been announced by President Marvin Hugh
it, Of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad.
John NJ Whitman, present general manager, is ap-
pointed to the position OF fourth vtce-president
newly created office. and William A. Gardner. as
sstant general superintendent. is appointed 10 the
position formerly held by Mr. Whitman. The lat
ter will have general charge of construction Of pro
prietary roads and branch lines and general I'M
provements of the property OF the Northwestern
system He Will also have charge OF the manage
ment and development Of It's coal properties The
appointments are effective November 30.
Mr.. Whitman has been connected with the North
western company for upward OF twenty years
holding the position Of general manager since 1881.
Mr. Gardner entered the railway service as tele-
graph operator in 1873, when he was only fourteen
years old. His first service with the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway was in 1878. since which
time he has continuously been connected with that
company in the capacity of train dispatcher train
master assistant superintendent. division super
intendent and assistant general superintendent.
with the exception Of period Of two years, when
he was connected with the Atchison, Topeka ana
Santa Fe Railway trainmaster.
This change places the operating department OF
the road I'm charge Of Mr.. Gardner. the traffic de-
partment remaining in charge Of II. r. Mccullough.
and II is something of a coincidence that in 1874
Mr. Mccullough was employed in the local freight

same, company as telegraph operator II is be

sitions of such responsibility as those they now

The Board OF Health called IN 70 MAKE an

to pay his rent. A few days ago dispossess
suit was brought and KoZusko allowed Judgment
goods out of the house. Kozusko assisted In the
removal and put his property in his own building
a short distance away. He seemed well pleased
with the proceedings. and said that he will open
his new place for business tomorrow morning.
His arrest Will soon follow his attempt to do bus-
ness and the power OF the Board TO refuse an
application under such circumstances Will be tested
In the courts. . .
Lawyer Stricken maintains that the license was
granted TO his client not TO the Landlord, and

tion because several other saloonkeepers are IN
the same plight. They own new buildings, and
have 70 rent saloons because the Board refuses
