Change of Directors of the Il. and o.

Baltimore, November 19.-Much spec
ulation was INDUCED in today as to the
significance attached to the charges
made in the directorate of the Balti-

meeting today. Captain John P. Green,
first vice president of the Pennsylvania
Charles H. Tweed, chairman
of the board and second vice president

Martin Erdman, of New York, We're
elected directors. BY the election OF
Captain Green, the Pennsylvania's rep
resentation in the Baltimore and Ohio
directorate is increased to two, the
other representative of the Baltimore
and Ohio's big competitor being Third
Vice President S. NJ. Provost. In the
person of Mr.. Tweed the Southern Pa
cifc railway obtains an important rep
r~esentative in Baltimore and Ohio af-
fairs.

board, who presided at the meeting de-
clined to discuss the significance of the
entrance of another Pennsylvania Off
cial into the Baltimore n Ohio board,
but it is understood that the presence
of both Mr.. Green and Mr.. Provost
means that the two systems will work
together in harmony, and that rate
wars are practically things of the past.

definite assurance that The claims will
be paid. The claims approximate in
