A Cleveland railroad man tells the follow
ing story of E. E. Mcleod. the new commits
sioner OF the Western Passenger Associa-
ton. which. admitting only that it is partly
true. indicates the reason of Mr.. McLeods
success as a railroad man:
He was at one time the district passen-
and was more or less unknown to the rail-
read world, and even to some of the higher
ofnc1afS or his own company 1t happened
that he wanted transportation for a friend
and started TO get II If he had to turn the
road upside down. He wrote to the general
passenger agent, and made the request.
The reply came that Mr.. Truesdale, who
was then the general manager, had made
a ruling which was directly opposed TO that
sort or transportation, and il could not be
secured. Mr.. Mcleod then got on the train
and went to Chicago TO look up the matter
and when he got TO the main Office was told
the same thing he had been told by letter
Have you any objections If / go in TO see
Mr.. Truesdale and state my case?' said Mr.
Mcleod. Certainly not. II you want to
ram your head against a wall no one is 60
ing 10 prevent YOU" In a few minutes the
district passenger agent from Pittsburg
came out smiling with a little slip in his
hand. What went on on the inside was
never told other than that the case was
stated pretty clearly, and request was
made for Mr. Truesdale TO deviate from his
irOnclad ruling. The sequel TO this story is
responsible for Mr.. McLeod's recent election

Mr.. Iruesdale, who had never seen Mr. Nc
I1eod before, was taken with his dash and
his earnestness, and when the assistant

at topeka, he suggested that the Pittsburg
man would be good one 10 send out there.

suggestion OF Mr.. Truesdale, and In conse-
