Mr.. Batty came to the city few
days ago for the purpose of looking
over the field His stay was brief, and
as Acting General Manager Tittemore

that place. Mr. Batty is compare
lively young man, but is an experienced
traffic. manager, and number of years
ago was with the Michigan Central.
For some time past he has been enjoy
ling a rest in Oregon, where he has
Handed interests. Mr.. Batty is also
closely allied with the Chicago, Mil
wa,kee & ST. Paul interests. but IT Is
not known that this fact has anything

Mr.. Batty or anyone else TO the posi-

to accept positions if the road was sooi
to pass under the control Of some on
