wood leaves the road to accept the pres

will be named, says the Columbus Dis
patch. 1t Is understood that Mr.. Solo,
mon, the chairman of the board of
directors. will retire, leaving that place
vacant. Then. too, there is vacancy
in the office Of general passenger agent
caused by the death of J. M. Schryver.
In addition 10 all OF these official
changes, the railroad has within the
year become possessor of the Pitts

Lorain and Wheeling railroad. All o.:
these lines. Il is believed, are to lie
taken into the system, and more com,
plete and compact organization to be
effected than has existed heretofors.
The plan pursued hitherto by the Balti-
more and Ohio seems to intimate soma
such an organization as is now ~
vogue on tho Pennsylvania lines, tn /:
systems east and west being governed
separately with one general head in the
east. The eastern system being made
more extensive by possible new line
into New York, 1t is thought that this
is required. It is firmly believed that,
with possible exception of the Cleve-
land, Lorain and Wheeling, the roads
acquired will be welded into single
organization with one head
The complex situation and the need
of general reorganization will make
the filling of the position of general
manager. who Is to effect this reorgani-
zation, even more difficult than 1t has
been. 1t wes believed that while Mr.,
Underwood was with the line he was
the man to map out this system, but
since he has decided to go to the Erie
his successor will come into a most
difficult task. This position becomes all
the more difficult when 1t Is known
that all of the lines west of Pittsburg
are now being rebuilt. New exten,
sions are being made; cut-offs are con
templated; grades are being lowered;
and curves are being removed, that

Piece Of Legislation by Summit
County Legislator Knocked
Out by Court.

Akron. April 23.-The decision of the
circuit court in the Macedonia school
case covered an interesting point. In
1898 Macedonia was set off as school

demanded part of the school money
Of Northfield township. The township
school board refused to pay.
Prof. G. f. Seese, however. prom
ised Macedonia that he would get bill
through the legislature requiring
Northfield to pay this money. He did
SO.
Still Judge C. r. Grant. attorney for
the Northfield board advised against
paying the money and the case was
taken into court. The decision is in
favor of Northfield on the ground that
the law affects a past transaction.

their approach the waiting Filipinos
sprang out and captured one of the
three. A few days later his body was

ly with him if assurance of his guilt
could be obtained.
Last night Wilcox was threatened
with summary punishment but there
has been practically no demonstration
of violence against him. The excite
ment has abated somewhat out
throughout the day groups Of people
have been standing on the streets dis
cussing the affair. Some of them used
strong language toward Wilcox.
No surprise was expressed by the
general public at the result of the cor
oners inquest as the belief has been
fixed in Elizabeth City that the girl
was murdered. The presence of the
naval reserves evidently has curbed
the threatening attitude of the people
toward Wilcox.
Wilcox is still confined in the county
Jail and will be kept there pending
the investigation recommended by the
coroner's jury. He maintains the stolid
Indifference which has characterized
him ever since the disappearance of
Miss Cropsey. He declines to make any
statement now concerning the case.
