GABBETT MAY SUCCEED KNOTT
As Vice President of the Plant System
at Savannah.

Railroad men and others in Ameri-
Gus are interested in the rumors cur
rent for several days that Supt. Cab
bett, of this division of the Seaboard,
might succeed Vice-President Knott,
of the Plant System, who has resigned
that position. In this connection the
Savannah Morning News of yesterday
contains the following bit of infor-
nation:
''For thelast day or two rumor has
coupled the name of Mr.. Cecil Cab
bett, formerly vice president and gen
eral manager of the Georgia and Ala
bama and now superintendent of the
fourth division of the Seaboard Air
Line, with the vice presidency of the
Plant System.
ut was stated on the streets yester-
day that Mr.. Gabbett had resigned his
office with the Seaboard, and this
statement also came in over the wires
and from points along the line of the
Georgia and Alabama. Mr.. Gabbett,
however, was in Portsmouth, the head
quarters of the Seaboard, and could
! not be seen.
eff it be true that he has resigned
from the Seaboard the other rumor, to
the effect that he is to become vice
president of the Plant System, is to
some extent confirmed.
cit is believed that the Developments
of the next few days will remove the
veil of secrecy that has shrouded the
affairs of the Plant System and that
President Erwin, or some other of its
officers, will be in a position to give to
the public the information about Mr..
Knott, his resignation, his future
movements and his successor that it il
curious to learn"
