Rock Island Commercial Agents Are
Shifted Around.


Kansas City, April 3-Fred Smith,
commercial agent of the Rock Island at
Buffalo, N. Y has been transferred to
Kansas City, with the same title, effec-
tive April /, and T. S. King, commercial
agent here, has been transferred to
either Chicago or Buffalo. Pending the
arrival of Mr.. Smith, who is expected
within a few days, D. c. Stephenson,
contracting agent of the Rock Island
here has been made acting commercial
agent.
Mr. King came to Kansas City, Jan
uary 1, to succeed W. G. Staley, who left
the Rock Island service to become traffic
manager for the Western Grocer COM
pany, with headquarters in Chicago
Prior to coming here. Mr.. King had
ing been promo led to that position from
travelling freight agent in the Michigan
territory. While old in the service Of
the Rock Island, little Of his experience
has been along the line of his own road.
and he had little Office work in connec-
ton with his previous positions.
Upon coming to Kansas City, Mr.
King found the Office work here second
offices of the company, and his inclina-
ton was to be out in the territory and
among the shippers rather than to be
tied down to a desk a considerable part
Of the time. It has therefore been ar
ranged to relieve him of his duties here
and transfer Mr.. Smith from Buffalo to
Kansas City.
Fred Smith started in the railway
service with the Rock Island, as stenog-
rapher for H. H. Embry, then CONNER
cial agent at Buffalo and now general
freight agent of the Rock Island lines
west Of the Missouri river, Topeka. He
arose to travelling freight agent under
Mr.. Embry and when the latter left
Buffalo to come to Topeka, Mr.. Smith
succeeded him as commercial agent
