ring of sob.
"You know as we'll as l do. This
unhappy farce of living together must
be terminated Neither of us can en-

'You are only saying what What

Silence followed. Olive sat motion

ticle 50 of the Russian tariff law, and
increasing the rate on American bicycles

McBee For Third Vice President.
Maher to Succeed Him.
NORFOLK, June 18-Rumors are rife
concerning forthcoming changes in the
traffic and executive departments of the
Seaboard Air Line effective on the first
of the coming month. The promotion
of Captain V. E. McBee, general super
intendent of the system, which was in.
tlmated several days ago, is now, it
seems, practically assured. He will be-
come third vice president of the system.
The rumor that Mr.. J. William Mid
dendorf of Baltimore will be made Sec
ond vice president of the line appears
to be equally we'll founded Mr. Mid
denhorf, as the directing genius of the
banking house of Middenhorf, Oliver q
Co., has individually done more than
almost any other man toward financier-
ing the general Ombination of railway
properties comprising the greater Sea-
board system. He has been John Skel-
ton Williams right hand man. The ap-
pointment of his friend and co-worker
TO the position indicated, 1t would seem,
is in line with Mr.. Williams policy.
1t is announced that upon his promo
tion to the position of third vice presi-
dent Captain Nc Bee will be succeeded
by N. d. Maher, at present superin-
tendent of the Pocahontas division of
the Norfolk and Western railway, whose
capabilities in the position now held by
Captain McBee are we'll known to Mr..
Barr, who was formerly general man
ager Of the Norfolk and Western.
