profession.
In addition to the various offices ma
has filled with the Pennsylvania system
he has been an efficient officer of the
American Railway association. For
two years he was president of this asso.
citation, and previously it's secretary. A
few years ago he went to Paris Ms the as.
sociations representative at the inter.
national railway congress, which was in
session during the Paris exposition.
In 1895, when Mr.. Loree was superin-
tendent OF the Cleveland & Pittsburg d.
vision Of the Pennsylvania, 1t is said
he received splendid offer from the

worth as much to their company, and
he was induced TO stay, with the prom
Use of promotion. Only year after that
he was made general manager OF the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg
1t is the opinion that Mr.. Loree will
make a number Of changes In the official
STAFF OF the Rock Island. The manage
ment, owing to Mr. Leeds i'll health, haa
practically been in the hands of First
Vice President Warren, who has filled
most OF the important positions with
friends. There has been friction with
the Frisco management, which was not
satisfied with the Warren regime. and II
is said that Mr. Lorees election to the
presidency of the Rock Island was made
to please Mr.. Yoakum. the president OF
the Frisco. and also to create greater
confidence in Rock Island securities.
Col Loree was asked whether his
leaving the Baltimore & Ohio for the
Rock Island indicated any transfer OF
control OF the latter to the Pennsyi-
vania interests. He said:
ut does not. am going TO serve the
interests of the present owners of the
Rock Island. My reason is purely the
personal one that there are opportuni-
ties in the new field My relations with
my fellow-officials in the b. G. o. and
with the people Of Baltimore have been
very pleasant, and regret that the
former are TO be severed and that am
to leave Baltimore. The Baltimore &

future. II is now coming into this fu-

Their eldest child Is 16 years OF age,

and has frank. cordial manners, and is
sure to be liked in Washington as much
as she is at home. Although both the
